Davis supplied 38 points (14-20 FG, 10-11 FT), 12 rebounds, two assists, two blocks and three steals across 36 minutes during Friday's 131-125 victory over the Raptors.

EDGE Analysis

Davis played through a hip injury Saturday and turned in his best performance of the season. Not only did Davis score efficiently and with volume, but he recorded his third straight double-double. The superstar big man has also recorded at least one steal and one block in all six of his appearances in 2024-25.

Davis (hip) is available for Friday's game versus the Raptors, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

Davis sustained a minor hip injury during Wednesday's loss to the Cavaliers. However, the big man will play through the injury, though it is unclear whether he will operate under a minutes restriction. The 31-year-old has produced a stellar start to the 2024-25 campaign, during which he has averaged 30.6 points, 12.2 rebounds, 3.8 steals-plus-blocks and 3.0 assists across 36.0 minutes per game in five regular-season outings.

Davis is probable for Friday's game against the Raptors.

EDGE Analysis

Davis appears to have suffered a minor hip injury during Wednesday's loss to the Cavs, but it's unlikely to keep him from Friday's clash. He'll likely test out his hip during morning shootaround before the team comments further on his availability.

Davis closed with 22 points (9-17 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-8 FT), 13 rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals over 31 minutes during Wednesday's 134-110 loss to Cleveland.

EDGE Analysis

Davis has been nothing short of outstanding to start the season, recording three double-doubles across his first five appearances. The star big man recorded at least 20 points with eight boards in each game while also filling the stat sheet in the other categories. His role as the Lakers' main offensive weapon, even ahead of LeBron James, is set in stone this season and that should lead him to deliver elite numbers across all formats.

Davis closed Monday's 109-105 loss to the Suns with 29 points (12-24 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 15 rebounds, three assists, three blocks and one steal across 35 minutes.

EDGE Analysis

The fact that this 29-point output was Davis' lowest mark of the season goes to show just how dominant he's been for the Lakers in the early stages of the new campaign. The star big man has settled as the team's go-to threat on offense, even ahead of LeBron James, thanks to averages of 32.8 points, 12.0 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 1.5 steals and 2.5 blocks per game to open the campaign.

Davis provided 31 points (10-15 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 10-13 FT), nine rebounds, two assists, two blocks and three steals over 38 minutes during Saturday's 131-127 win over the Kings.

EDGE Analysis

Davis and LeBron James are posting sky-high totals to begin the season, with the 31 points actually representing Davis' low point total to date. The Lakers are a tough team to beat when both All-Stars are humming on all cylinders. Davis has averaged 34.0 points, 11.0 assists and 2.3 blocked shots over the first three games of the season.

Davis generated 35 points (11-18 FG, 13-17 FT), eight rebounds, four assists, one steal and two blocks across 38 minutes of Friday's 123-116 win over the Suns.

EDGE Analysis

Per Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times, head coach JJ Redick said Friday that the team intends to have Davis involved "as much as possible." The effort has shown up in the box score through two games, with Davis totaling 71 points and attempting 12 more shots than any other Laker. Davis averaged over 25 points per game in four straight seasons spanning 2016-17 to 2019-2020 but has eclipsed that number once in four seasons since. Davis could have his best statistical season in years if he remains the Lakers' offensive focal point.

Davis closed Tuesday's 110-103 win over the Timberwolves with 36 points (11-23 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 13-15 FT), 16 rebounds, four assists, three blocks and one steal in 38 minutes.

EDGE Analysis

Davis was dominant on both sides of the ball, and the duo of Rudy Gobert and Julius Randle was unable to contain him. Although Davis was the top producer, the entire roster performed well in their roles and played with an ease and confidence that were often absent last season. If Davis can stay healthy, an MVP-worthy season could be on the horizon.

Davis tallied 36 points (11-23 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 13-15 FT), 16 rebounds, four rebounds, three blocks and one steal in 38 minutes during Wednesday's 110-103 win over the Timberwolves.

EDGE Analysis

Davis set the tone for the Lakers' season with a dominant outing in which he led the team in points, rebounds, blocks and minutes played. The 31-year-old big man recorded his 100th career game with at least 25 points and 15 rebounds. As LeBron James continues to age, Davis should keep receiving more of the offensive burden.

Davis (rest) is available for Tuesday's Opening Night matchup against the Timberwolves.

EDGE Analysis

Davis sat out of the Lakers' final preseason game due to rest purposes, but he seems to be fully available for Opening Night. The All-Star is coming off a career-high 76 regular-season appearances last season, during which he averaged 24.7 points, 12.6 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 3.5 combined steals plus blocks across 35.5 minutes per game.
