Davis is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Grizzlies due to a left knee hyperextension, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
With LeBron James (ankle) sidelined, Davis led the Lakers to a comeback win over Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Bucks on Tuesday, finishing with 34 points, 23 rebounds, four blocks and two steals in 52 minutes during a double-overtime affair. Given the hefty workload, Davis' appearance on the injury report may be precautionary during the second night of a back-to-back set, but it's worth mentioning the knee issue is new for Davis, who was previously playing through bilateral Achilles soreness.

Davis finished with 34 points (12-31 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 7-7 FT), 23 rebounds, four blocks, two assists and two steals across 52 minutes in Tuesday's 128-124 double-overtime win over the Bucks.
EDGE Analysis
Plenty of rebounds were up for grabs with the two teams combining to hit just 40.1 percent of their 228 shot attempts on the night, and Davis was able to clean up en route to his second game of the season with at least 20 boards. Though he supplemented the rebound total with strong numbers in the defensive categories and a big scoring total, he wasn't immune to the shooting struggles, as his 38.7 percent mark from field on heavy volume was harmful in category-based leagues. On a positive note, Davis stepped up with perfect shooting from the free-throw line, and his trio of three-pointers were also a welcome sight; he had nailed just three triples combined over his last 15 games. Given that he handled his heftiest workload of the season Tuesday and has been battling bilateral Achilles tendinopathy, Davis could be a candidate to sit out Wednesday against the Grizzlies in the second leg of a back-to-back set.

Davis (Achilles) is probable for Tuesday's game against the Bucks.
EDGE Analysis
Davis will continue to play through the lingering Achilles issue, but it looks like LeBron James (ankle) will take a seat Tuesday, as he's listed as doubtful. While Davis should play Tuesday, he may take a seat for the second half of the Lakers' back-to-back set Wednesday in Memphis.

EDGE Analysis

Davis (Achilles) is probable to face the Pacers on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Davis has been included on the injury report for almost every Lakers game this season. Still, if history is of any indicator, then he should be able to play and log his regular workload Sunday. Davis is averaging 19.9 points, 13.3 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 2.2 blocks and 1.3 steals per game across nine March appearances.

Davis amassed 23 points (10-16 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-4 FT), 19 rebounds, four assists and four blocks in 40 minutes during Friday's 101-94 win over the 76ers.
EDGE Analysis
The double-double was his 55th of the season, as Davis extended his career high in that category while sitting third in the league behind Domantas Sabonis (65) and Nikola Jokic (57). The 31-year-old center has been almost automatic for a double-double since the All-Star break, failing to record one only once in 14 games, and he's averaged 22.6 points, 13.5 boards, 2.9 assists, 2.2 blocks and 1.4 steals over that stretch.
