Davis (calf) is listed as probable for Monday's game against Denver, Ryan Ward of Lakers Nation reports.
EDGE Analysis
This will be the seventh straight game for which Davis is listed as probable, so the designation doesn't mean much. The big man has been mostly disappointing since returning from injury April 22, and he's coming off of another poor offensive showing (12 points, 5-16 FG) in Sunday's 121-114 loss to the Raptors. The Lakers will be without LeBron James (ankle) on Monday, so expect Davis to be leaned on more heavily for playmaking in the half court.

Davis delivered 12 points (5-16 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-3 FT), nine rebounds, seven assists, three steals and a block across 33 minutes in Sunday's loss to the Raptors.
EDGE Analysis
Davis needed 16 shots just to end up with 12 points and had a rough time offensively, but he supplied his lack of efficiency with solid contributions in other categories. The most important thing with Davis right now is that he has to stay healthy, but his numbers since returning to the court aren't exactly eye-popping -- 16.5 points, 6.7 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 1.8 blocks per game while shooting just 39.4 percent from the field.

Davis tallied 22 points (9-19 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 11 rebounds, three assists and five blocked shots across 34 minutes in Friday's loss to the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
Davis was on the court with returning superstar LeBron James for the first time since Feb. 14, but the duo couldn't get the Lakers over the hump against a stubborn Sacramento squad. Nonetheless, Davis showed that he is regaining his form after a long layoff, registering his first double-double since returning to action April 22 and tying a season high with five blocks. With Los Angeles only a game ahead of Portland for the seventh seed in the Western Conference, both Davis and James are likely to play plenty down the stretch.

EDGE Analysis
The 28-year-old scored 20-plus points for the first time since returning to the lineup following a 30-game absence due to a calf injury. Davis' minutes have been ramping up lately, as he's posted 16, 28, 31, and 31 minutes over his last four games, respectively. The ninth-year center will look to build on Wednesday's impressive all-around performance Friday at home against the Kings.

Davis (calf) will play and start in Wednesday's game against the Wizards, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Davis is set to play in his fourth consecutive game after being sidelined for over two months due to a strained calf. His minutes have increased every game since returning to the lineup, and he should continue to get more comfortable with each game as he works his way back into superstar-form. In Monday's win over the Magic, he finished with 18 points, eight rebounds, three assists and two blocks in 31 minutes of action.
