Anthony Davis recorded 40-point games in both his first two matches against his former team, the New Orleans Pelicans. The second time he achieved the feat was a much better performance from him. It was during a regular-season game in March 2020.

The LA Lakers won that game 123-113. Anthony Davis' stepping up was key, as LeBron James had an off night at the offensive end. The four-time MVP recorded just 17 points on 41.2% shooting from the floor that night.
