In his four games as a Laker, Beasley has averaged 14.8 points, 2.5 rebounds, 1.0 assists, 3.8 treys and 1.8 steals. Beasley was particularly electric from three-point range, going 7-for-11 and falling one triple short of his season-high mark. [Lakers](https://www.cbssports.com/nba/teams/LAL/los-angeles-lakers/) in scoring, he matched the combined point total put up by Los Angeles' pair of superstars.

LeBron James and Anthony Davis were off against the Warriors, but Malik Beasley picked up the slack for the Lakers in a huge way.

With just 22 games left on LA’s regular season schedule, every win and loss will be amplified now that the playoff picture is slowly starting to take shape. Just the fact that D-Lo didn’t even finish the game, we’ve got so many threats. [Los Angeles Lakers](/nba/los-angeles-lakers) fan that neither LeBron James nor Anthony Davis would score more than 13 points against the Golden State Warriors and D’Angelo Russell wouldn’t play more than nine minutes, they’d ask by how many LA lost by.

LeBron James may finally have some support at the Los Angeles Lakers as his new team-mate stole the show on Thursday, and their trade business may pay off ...

The Lakers may finally have been given the break they were looking for, but there's a long way to go this season. "LeBron and AD didn’t get going as much as they wanted tonight, but we’re deep, and I think that’s the statement we want to make," Beasley said. They've since stabilised that and are 28-32, but with a run in the second half of the season they're likely to make the play-offs. James scored 13 points on the night while Davis hit 12, but it was a real team effort on Thursday - and it's not gone without notice. All season long it's been the James / Anthony Davis show, and LeBron has been urging the Lakers to make positive trades. Beasley scored 25 points on the night, but was one of eight Lakers players to hit double figures.

Before his breakout performance as a Laker, Malik Beasley received some advice from Anthony Davis that served as a spark vs. the Warriors.

It was the type of performance the Lakers haven’t had in some time, not just from Beasley but the team as a whole. It certainly feels like there’s a swagger and confidence to this team that hasn’t existed and man it’s so much fun to see. [Lakers](https://www.silverscreenandroll.com) fans were treated to quite the performance from Malik Beasley in the team’s return from the All-Star break on Thursday. AD said he told him to shoot that every time.— Cooper Halpern (@CooperHalpern) It was the type of performance the team has not often seen this year, especially from someone not named LeBron James and Anthony Davis. On top of Beasley’s seven makes, Mo Bamba and Lonnie Walker each had two 3-pointers.
