Davis delivered 28 points (9-18 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 9-10 FT), 10 rebounds, five assists and two steals across 36 minutes in Saturday's win over the Pacers.
EDGE Analysis
Davis looked a bit rusty in his first games since returning from a lengthy absence, but he's been a bit more like himself over his last few games and has scored at least 20 points in four games in a row while reaching that tally in seven of his last nine appearances. Similar to LeBron James, Davis ' main goal right now is to get as healthy as possible come playoff time. His last few performances suggest he's clearly trending in the right direction.

Davis (groin) has been downgraded from probable to questionable for Saturday's matchup against the Pacers.

The Lakers will likely play it as safe as possible with Davis so that he's healthy for the play-in and playoffs. If he sits out Saturday, more minutes would be available for Kyle Kuzma and Markieff Morris.

Davis (groin) didn't practice Friday but is probable for Saturday's game at Indiana, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 28-year-old sat out the second half of the back-to-back set Wednesday after playing 43 minutes Tuesday, but his absence is expected to be limited to one game. Davis' availability for Sunday's season finale could depend on whether or not the Lakers' seeding in the Western Conference is finalized, as they currently line up for the play-in tournament while trailing the Trails Blazers by a half-game for the No. 6 seed.

Davis (groin) is out Wednesday against the Rockets, Dave McMenamin of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Davis played 43 minutes during Tuesday's overtime win over the Knicks, but he experienced groin tightness afterward and will end up missing Wednesday's game. LeBron James (ankle) will also sit out again, while Alex Caruso (foot) is listed as questionable. The pileup of injuries could ultimately lead to Kyle Kuzma (back) and Talen Horton-Tucker (calf) -- both listed as probable -- controlling the offense in what's close to a must-win game if the Lakers hope to avoid the play-in.

Davis (calf) is probable for Tuesday's game against the Knicks, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.

Davis recorded 42 points (13-27 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 15-17 FT), 12 rebounds, five assists, three steals and three blocked shots in Sunday's 123-110 win over the Suns.
EDGE Analysis
Davis was brilliant in what was potentially a first-round playoff preview, should the Lakers finish as the Western Conference's seventh or eighth seed. His stat line was easily his best since returning from injury, and his averages of 39.0 points, 12.0 rebounds, 5.0 assists and 2.0 blocked shots over the past two games is evidence of a huge resurgence from the All-Star. It couldn't come at a better time for the Lakers, who are struggling to stay out of the play-in tourney.
