Davis ended Wednesday's 130-125 overtime victory over the Clippers with 27 points (10-18 FG, 7-9 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists, four blocks and two steals in 48 minutes.
EDGE Analysis
Davis tied for second on the Lakers in scoring behind LeBron James' 35 points, and he finished with 10 boards to record his fourth straight double-double. The big man also continued his standout work on the defensive end, notching a season-best four swats to finish with multiple blocks for the fifth straight game to begin the campaign. Davis gets occasional (and perhaps unwarranted) slack for what is perceived as a lack of consistency, but he's been a dominant force to begin the season, tallying at least 26 points, 10 boards and three blocks in four of his five games thus far.

Davis notched 26 points (12-18 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-3 FT), 19 rebounds, five assists, three blocks and one steal across 38 minutes during Monday's 106-103 victory over the Magic.
EDGE Analysis
Davis shows no sign of stopping, and that's nothing but good news for the Lakers, who need his production inside. Davis' numbers have been stellar, so the 2-2 record isn't due to a lack of effort from the All-Star. Better backcourt play provided more balance Monday, which helped every starter. Over four games, Davis has 11 blocks.

Davis chipped in 30 points (11-22 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 7-8 FT), 16 rebounds, two assists, three blocks and two steals over 42 minutes during Sunday's 132-127 overtime loss to the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
Davis scored 30 points for the second consecutive game, and his rebound totals over the first three contests of the season have been exemplary. With Davis and LeBron James fully healthy, the duo should be able to rack up wins for the Lakers despite dropping this game to the Kings on the road.

Davis finished Thursday's 100-95 win over Phoenix with 30 points (10-17 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 9-10 FT), 12 rebounds, two assists, three blocks and three steals over 39 minutes.
EDGE Analysis
It will be difficult to beat the Lakers this season when Davis and LeBron James are both healthy. After a mediocre beginning against the Nuggets, Davis turned on the gas and delivered a signature performance. The All-Star recorded 13 points and five rebounds in the fourth quarter to help erase the Suns' 12-point lead, joined by a 10-point, four-rebound showing from James to seal the win.

Davis ended with 17 points (6-17 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), eight rebounds, four assists and two blocks over 34 minutes during Tuesday's 119-107 loss to the Nuggets.
EDGE Analysis
Davis struggled from the field and finished with an equal amount of points and field goal attempts, something that's not positive for any player, especially one that lives and dies near the rim. Davis had a tough matchup since he had to deal with Nikola Jokic, and he should deliver improved numbers -- especially in terms of efficiency -- in the upcoming contests.

Davis posted 15 points (5-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-7 FT), six blocks and two rebounds in Thursday's 123-100 preseason loss to the Suns.
EDGE Analysis
Davis' six blocks were a game-high mark. The star big man's defensive impact helped him post a minus-three point differential despite suffering a blowout loss. Davis also held Phoenix's center, Jusuf Nurkic, to just three points.

Davis recorded 16 points (5-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 5-5 FT), seven rebounds, five assists, two blocks and two steals across 19 minutes in Sunday's 108-97 preseason loss to the Bucks.
EDGE Analysis
Davis is expected to be one of the Lakers' main offensive weapons when the regular season starts Oct. 24, but he's already showing dominant traits in the preseason with his stellar two-way play. Through four preseason contests, Davis has averaged 14.3 points, 6.3 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.3 blocks across only 17 minutes per game.

Davis finished with 13 points (3-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 6-7 FT), six rebounds, four assists and a steal over 22 minutes against Golden State in an exhibition loss Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Davis didn't shoot particularly well and didn't block any shots, but he still posted a fantasy-friendly 13/6/4 line given his limited minutes. The big man sat out the Lakers' previous preseason contest, but that was likely just for rest purposes as his 22 minutes Friday were his most on the exhibition slate thus far. Davis is averaging 13.7 points and 6.0 boards in just over 16 minutes per game thus far in preseason action as he gears up for his 12th NBA campaign.

Davis (undisclosed) has the green light to play in Friday's game against the Warriors, Broderick Turner of the Los Angeles Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Davis has been alternating games played and nights off through four exhibition games this preseason. He logged 15 points (6-11 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT) and five rebounds across 13 minutes in his first game. The veteran big man will continue to ramp things up Friday as he prepares for the regular season.

Davis (undisclosed) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Kings, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Though it hasn't been disclosed exactly why Davis won't play, it's likely just a rest day for Davis considering LeBron James (rest) is also getting the night off. After logging 15 points and five rebounds against the Warriors in the Lakers' preseason opener, he'll have another opportunity to face Golden State on Friday.
