Nick Nurse explains how Sixers can slow down Lakers star Anthony Davis

CAMDEN, N.J. -- The Philadelphia 76ers will certainly have their hands full when they play host to the Los Angeles Lakers on Tuesday. Without both Joel Embiid and Andre Drummond, the Sixers will not have much size to match up with Anthony Davis.

Davis is having yet another monster season averaging 26.3 points and 12.1 rebounds, but is coming off two consecutive huge games for LA. He had 36 points and 13 rebounds on Saturday against the Golden State Warriors and 40 and 20 rebounds against the Charlotte Hornets on Monday.

Without Embiid and Drummond, coach Nick Nurse and the Sixers will have to figure out a way to slow him down.
