Davis (lower body) did not return to Saturday's 116-105 win over the Rockets. He finished with 26 points (10-18 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 4-6 FT), 16 rebounds, seven assists and three blocks over 31 minutes.

EDGE Analysis

Davis made his highly anticipated Mavericks debut Saturday and set the tone for Dallas on both ends of the floor. However, Davis left at the 1:37 mark in the third quarter after going down with what was reported as a lower body injury. Davis had been dealing with an abdominal muscle strain before being traded to the Lakers on Feb. 1, though it's unclear whether Saturday's injury was an aggravation or a separate issue. Naji Marshall, Olivier-Maxence Prosper and Max Christie would stand to see more playing time against the Kings on Monday if either or both of Davis and P.J. Washington (ankle) are unable to play.

Davis (abdomen/groin) is doubtful to return for Saturday's game against the Rockets.

EDGE Analysis

Davis had been dealing with an abdominal muscle strain prior to being traded to Dallas on Saturday. He was cleared to play Saturday, but he went down late in the third quarter and appeared to be grabbing his abdominal/groin area. He quickly went to the locker room after being subbed out of the game, and it's unclear whether he'll be cleared to return. With P.J. Washington (ankle) ruled out for the rest of the contest, Naji Marshall and Olivier-Maxence Prosper should see increased minutes off the bench for as long as Davis is out of the game.

EDGE Analysis

The superstar big man will make his Mavericks debut after having been included in the trade that sent Luka Doncic (calf) to the Lakers last Saturday. Davis has been dealing with an abdominal strain since before the trade, and it wouldn't come as a surprise if the club remains cautious with him during his first matchup back. The 31-year-old will likely slot into the starting role at power forward alongside Daniel Gafford in the frontcourt.

EDGE Analysis

Davis was spotted going through a workout at the team's morning shootaround and had been listed as questionable, but the Mavericks will take a cautious approach with the star big man and push back his debut. He hadn't played since Jan. 28 before the Lakers traded him to the Mavericks on Sunday. Once he receives the green light to play, Davis will likely slot in as the Mavericks' starting power forward alongside center Daniel Gafford.

Since reporting to Dallas, Davis has been able to ramp up his activity, as he was able to take part in workouts Tuesday and Wednesday before the Mavericks tagged him as questionable for Thursday's contest.

EDGE Analysis

Davis has another on-court workout scheduled for Wednesday after getting through a session Tuesday. He's been sidelined since Jan. 28, and he's been non-committal regarding his chances of playing against Boston. If he doesn't take the floor Thursday, his debut could come Saturday against Houston.

EDGE Analysis

Davis was non-committal on his chances of making his Mavericks debut Thursday, though he said that if he's unable to play in Boston, he'll "more than likely" take the court Saturday versus the Rockets in Dallas. Before he was officially traded to the Mavericks on Sunday, Davis had been sidelined since Jan. 28 with an abdominal strain. While speaking to the media Tuesday, Davis reiterated that he expects to see most of his playing time at power forward, though he's still likely to get some minutes at center in place of starter Daniel Gafford on the occasions when head coach Jason Kidd wants to get more shooters on the floor.

Davis has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the 76ers due to an abdominal muscle strain.

Davis (abdomen, recently traded) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the 76ers, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Davis is working through an abdominal muscle strain that has had him out of action since Jan. 28. However, the trade involving Davis, Luka Doncic and four other players is still pending, so there's no guarantee that Davis will be available to make his Mavericks debut Tuesday even if fully healthy. If Davis is ruled out, his next chance to play will be Thursday against the Celtics.
