Davis (Achilles/hip) won't play in Thursday's game versus the Celtics, Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet reports.
EDGE Analysis
Davis will miss his second straight contest Thursday after being downgraded from questionable to out due to bilateral Achilles tendinopathy and left hip spasms. Jaxson Hayes and Christian Wood should continue to receive increased playing time in his absence. Davis' next chance to suit up is Saturday's matchup with the Knicks.

Davis (Achilles/hip) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Celtics, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Davis took a seat for the second half of a back-to-back set Tuesday, marking his first absence since Dec. 15, but he'll have a chance to return Thursday. LeBron James (ankle) is also questionable, so as usual, fantasy managers will likely have to wait until pregame warmups to get clarity on the superstars' availability.

Davis has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Hawks due to bilateral Achilles tendinopathy and a left hip spasm, Broderick Turner of the Los Angeles Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Davis played through the issue Monday, posting 23 points, seven rebounds, two assists, two steals and one block in 29 minutes during a double-digit loss to Houston. However, the All-Star center will take a seat for the second half of a back-to-back set, marking his first absence since Dec. 15. Jaxson Hayes started that contest in place of Davis and saw 20 minutes, while Christian Wood played 30 minutes off the bench. A similar situation could unfold Tuesday, though Jarred Vanderbilt is also a candidate for increased playing time as a small-ball five.

Davis (Achilles/groin) will be a game-time decision Tuesday versus Atlanta, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Davis was questionable heading into Monday's loss to Houston due to Achilles soreness, but he has also played through ankle, groin and hip injuries throughout January. Davis said that his groin flared up in the second half of Monday's game, limiting his movement on both ends of the court. The 30-year-old has now labored through two consecutive contests, and his streak of 22-consecutive starts is in jeopardy of ending with the Lakers closing a back-to-back set Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis
Davis was visibly hobbled during Saturday's game against Golden State, limping at times throughout the double-overtime victory. Nonetheless, coach Darvin Ham expects him to be available Monday and made no mention of a limited workload. Monday represents the first half of a back-to-back set for the Lakers.
