The Houston Rockets destroyed the Los Angeles Lakers with their “small-ball” lineup in Game 1. As a result, the Lakers are exploring different options to counter react in Houston’s strategy.

According to Chris Haynes of Yahoo Sports, Anthony Davis is willing to play center for the Lakers during the WC semifinal series with the Rockets.

Lakers star Anthony Davis is not fond of playing center, but he wouldn’t be going up against a traditional big in this matchup. Davis is willing to slide up from power forward in this series, league sources told Yahoo Sports.

Davis as center is going to “accommodate” the Lakers plan to be effective on both ends of the floor when facing the Rockets.

Lakers star Anthony Davis is not fond of playing center, but his size will be valuable for his team against PJ Tucker and Robert Covington.
