EDGE Analysis

After sitting out Saturday's win over the Clippers, Davis returned to the hardwood and put together a dominant showing. The star big man led all players in scoring and grabbed a team-high 13 boards en route to his fifth double-double across seven regular-season games. He has also swatted multiple shots in back-to-back games and is averaging 1.6 blocks per game thus far.

EDGE Analysis

Davis is back after a one-game absence, which will likely result in Dwight Powell returning to the second unit and fewer minutes available for Moussa Cisse. Davis is averaging 19.3 points, 9.3 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.5 blocks per game on the season.

Davis (calf) is probable for Monday's game in Denver.

EDGE Analysis

As expected, Davis will take a seat for the tail end of the Mavericks' back-to-back set. The veteran big man returned from a 14-game absence due to a calf strain Friday night and logged 12 points (6-10 FG, 0-1 3PT), five rebounds, five assists and three blocks across 28 minutes. Davis was under a minutes restriction for the contest. His absence should open up more opportunities for Naji Marshall, Klay Thompson and Moussa Cisse. Davis's next chance to play will come Monday at Denver.

EDGE Analysis

This has been the game that Davis has circled on his calendar for a potential return. He's been sidelined for roughly one month, so it's fair to expect restrictions in his first game back. Additionally, it's hard to imagine him being allowed to play in the second leg of this back-to-back set Saturday against the Clippers.

Davis (calf) will be listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Lakers, according to NBA reporter Marc Stein.

EDGE Analysis

According to coach Jason Kidd, the Mavericks want to see how Davis responds to Wednesday's practice before a decision is made. Davis has missed the past 14 games for Dallas, but a return appears to be imminent. Friday's game is the front end of a back-to-back set, so at best, Davis will likely see action in just one of those games.

EDGE Analysis

Davis has been sidelined since Oct. 29, but the big man appears close to a return. "He's working to get back," coach Jason Kidd said Monday.

The star big man's next opportunity to play will come Friday against the Lakers. With Davis and Dereck Lively (foot) both sidelined, Naji Marshall, Daniel Gafford and Moussa Cisse are candidates for increased minutes.
