Davis provided 15 points (5-19 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 4-7 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and one steal over 29 minutes during Thursday's 101-92 win over Orlando.

EDGE Analysis

Davis didn't have his best shooting performance in this game, going 5-for-19 from the field and failing to get into any kind of rhythm offensively. The star big man has been limited to only three games in a Mavs uniform, averaging 17.7 points, 9.7 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 1.3 blocks per game in those outings.

Davis (adductor) is available for Thursday's game against the Magic.

EDGE Analysis

Davis was widely expected to play Thursday, so the upgrade in his status isn't much of a surprise for fantasy managers counting on him ahead of Thursday's matchup. However, it's worth noting that he'll play under a minutes restriction in this game, as head coach Jason Kidd said the big man will be limited to somewhere around 24 to 28 minutes, according to Mason Williams of SI.com. Davis didn't play against the Knicks on Tuesday and has been limited to just two games with Dallas since being traded in the deal that sent Luka Doncic to the Lakers before February's trade deadline. He's averaging 19.0 points, 11.0 rebounds, 5.0 assists and 2.0 blocks per game in those two outings.

EDGE Analysis

After missing Tuesday's loss to the Knicks, Davis is trending toward returning to the floor for the Mavericks on Thursday in Orlando. The veteran big man missed 18 straight games after getting injured in his first game with Dallas following the trade that sent Luka Doncic to the Lakers. In his return from the adductor injury on March 24, the one-time NBA champion racked up 12 points, six rebounds, one steal and one block in a win over the Nets.

EDGE Analysis

After missing Tuesday's loss to the Knicks, Davis has a chance to play Thursday in Orlando. The superstar big man finished with 12 points, six rebounds, three assists, one steal and one block in the win over the Nets on Monday after missing 18 straight games for Dallas with an adductor injury.

Davis (adductor) won't play Tuesday against the Knicks.

EDGE Analysis

In his return during Monday's 120-101 win over the Nets following an 18-game absence due to a left adductor strain, Davis logged 12 points (6-9 FG, 0-2 3Pt), six rebounds, three assists, one steal and one block across 27 minutes. He'll sit out the second leg of the Mavericks' back-to-back set, but assuming he experienced no setbacks coming out of Monday's game, he should be ready to play again Thursday in Orlando.

Davis (adductor) recorded 12 points (6-9 FG, 0-2 3Pt), six rebounds, three assists, one steal and one block across 27 minutes in Monday's 120-101 win over the Nets.

EDGE Analysis

Davis' stat line in his return from an 18-game absence due to a left adductor strain wasn't especially eye-popping, but he converted well in the paint, avoided foul trouble and made his mark on the defensive end while playing under a 28-minute restriction. The Mavericks are expected to hold Davis out Tuesday against the Knicks in the second leg of a back-to-back set, but provided he didn't experience any setbacks coming out of Monday's contest, he could be ready to handle a slightly larger minutes load in his next appearance Thursday in Orlando.

Davis (adductor) is available for Monday's game against the Nets.

EDGE Analysis

Initially listed as doubtful for Monday's contest after he recently resumed practicing in the G League, Davis had his status gradually updated throughout the day and will officially put an end to an 18-game absence. Though he'll take back his spot in the starting five, Davis will be restricted to 28 minutes, per Mike Curtis of The Dallas Morning News. The return of Davis could leave fewer minutes in the frontcourt available for Naji Marshall and Kai Jones, one of whom will likely move to the bench to clear room for Davis on the top unit.

The Mavericks have upgraded Davis (adductor) to probable for Monday's game against Brooklyn, NBA reporter Marc Stein reports.

EDGE Analysis

Davis was initially listed as doubtful to make his return from an 18-game absence due to a left adductor strain, though he's now expected to suit up. The star big man isn't expected to play in both halves of back-to-back sets yet, meaning he'll presumably sit out of Tuesday's game against the Knicks if he's deemed available Monday. Davis will likely operate under a minutes restriction Monday in what would be his first game since Feb. 8.

Davis (adductor) has been upgraded to questionable for Monday's game against the Nets.

EDGE Analysis

Davis was listed as doubtful heading into the day, but after evaluating him during morning shootaround, the Mavericks are more seriously considering having the star big man return to action. If Davis does end up getting the green light to play in advance of the 7:30 p.m. ET opening tip, he'll likely face restrictions in his first game since Feb. 8.

Davis (thigh) is doubtful for Monday's game against the Nets.

EDGE Analysis

Even with the Mavericks falling out of the playoff picture, it looks like Davis will try to suit up down the stretch. He hasn't played since Feb. 8 due to a left adductor strain but went through multiple 5-on-5 practices in the G League recently and may take the floor during Dallas' four-game road trip. Following Monday's game, Dallas plays in New York on Tuesday, in Orlando on Thursday and in Chicago on Saturday.
