Russell Westbrook had Monday off.

So Anthony Davis did his best to provide the statistical entertainment for the night in the NBA.

Davis tied a career high with 43 points on 17-of-23 shooting in the New Orleans Pelicans' win over the Milwaukee Bucks.

In four games since returning from injury, Davis is averaging 33.5 points, 11.8 rebounds and 4.5 blocks per game.

Davis has three games with at least 40 points and 10 rebounds this season. That's tied with Westbrook for the most such games in the NBA this season.

The rest of the league has four of those games combined (one each for LeBron James, Kevin Durant, James Harden and Pau Gasol).

Davis is one of three players to shoot 70 percent from the field in a 40-point game this season, along with James and Klay Thompson.

This was Davis' fourth 40-point game in 2014-15. Two of his top five scoring games have come this month.

This is the third game this season in which Davis has had 40 points and 10 rebounds while making at least 65 percent of his shots from the field. No one else in the NBA has any such games.

Davis is one of four players to have at least 40 points, 10 rebounds and five assists in a game while shooting at least 65 percent from the field. The other three are John Drew (1974 Hawks), Magic Johnson (1981 Lakers) and Durant (2008 SuperSonics).
