Davis

Jiri Welsch got the start and played a season-high 26 minutes with 12 points and eight rebounds. Coach Doc Rivers made the change to give his second unit a boost with Davis.

Something to keep in mind if you own, or are thinking about trading for the sixth man.

Coach Doc Rivers said the play of Davis and the improvement of Marcus Banks have ironed out his reserve rotation a bit. Jiri Welsch, however, is seeing fewer minutes because of Davis.

Davis is suddenly ice cold, making only 61 of his last 180 shots (34%).

The Wolves were interested in signing Davis prior to last year and still might want him now. He’s expendable in Cleveland because of concerns about how well he’ll mesh with LeBron James. The Cavaliers are also believed to be interested in trading for Eric Snow.

Davis shot 9-of-20 from the floor. Had just one of those misses fallen, he would have shot 50% from the floor for the first time since December 20th when he went 13-for-25. Instead, the streak continues.

Davis is hoping to earn a call up to the big show and resume his career at the NBA level. Needless to say, he’s going to have to show quite a bit in order for that to happen.

Davis averaged 8.5 points on 39% shooting during his time with the Red Claws. If he couldn’t make an impact on a D-League roster, it’s a safe bet he won’t be seen in the NBA again.

Davis, expected to be the Celtics’ starting small forward after coming off the bench following the trade last year, also had three steals.

Davis had 18 points, 9 rebounds, and 11 assists. With time expiring, he bounced the ball off of Jordan’s head, hoping that if he got it back it would be a rebound.
