Davis (foot) is questionable for Friday's contest against Phoenix, Broderick Turner of the Los Angeles Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Davis has been dealing with nagging foot soreness for the past couple of weeks, but he hasn't missed any contests since mid-March. After the center played both legs of the Lakers' most recent back-to-back, it's possible they end up letting him play again Friday in a game with playoff implications. However, if Davis is forced to miss time, Wenyen Gabriel and Jarred Vanderbilt would be candidates for increased minutes.

Davis notched 17 points (7-14 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 11 rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal across 32 minutes during Wednesday's 125-118 loss to the Clippers.
EDGE Analysis
Davis played 42 minutes Tuesday against Utah and was right back out there the following night in a big contest against the Clippers. The veteran big man played well in recording his second straight double-double, but his scoring output was hampered by the fact that he attempted just 14 field goals -- his fewest since March 26. Probably the most important takeaway, however, is that Davis played in both games of the back-to-back set, so he appears to be in relatively good health as the Lakers approach the postseason.

Davis (foot) is questionable for Wednesday's game versus the Clippers and is expected to be a game-time decision, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Davis could miss Wednesday's game as it is the second leg of a back-to-back. However, with the Lakers currently sitting in seventh place in the Western Conference, he might be forced into action to avoid the Play-In Tournament. Wenyen Gabriel and Jarred Vanderbilt are candidates to receive increased minutes if Davis is ruled out.

Davis (foot) recorded 21 points (7-16 FG, 7-12 FT), 14 rebounds, six assists, two blocks and two steals in 42 minutes during Tuesday's 135-133 overtime win over the Jazz.
EDGE Analysis
Davis has appeared in nine straight games and recorded a 20-point double-double in four of those contests. He also fell one assist shy of his season high and notched multiple tallies in each defensive category for the eighth time during the campaign. Since the start of February, Davis has appeared in 25 of 27 games, averaging 26.2 points, 13.0 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1.9 blocks and 0.8 steals with 55/23/73 shooting splits.

Davis (foot) is good to go for Tuesday's game against the Jazz according to Jovan Buha of The Athletic.
EDGE Analysis
The Lakers play the second game of a back-to-back set on Wednesday against the Clippers, and both Davis and LeBron James (foot) will be re-evaluated prior to that one. Davis has been on quite the tear, scoring at least 38 points in three straight games.

Davis (foot) is probable for Tuesday's game against the Jazz, Broderick Turner of the Los Angeles Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Davis continues to deal with a stress injury in his right foot, but he's been able to suit up recently and will likely be available once again Tuesday. He's scored at least 37 points in four of his last five appearances, averaging 33.6 points and 11.8 rebounds in 35.6 minutes per game.

Davis poured in 40 points (15-20 FG, 10-12 FT) and added nine rebounds, two blocks and one assist across 30 minutes in Sunday's 134-109 win over the Rockets.
EDGE Analysis
LeBron James has now played in four straight games after missing a month with a foot injury, but he's surprisingly served as the No. 2 option behind Davis upon returning. Davis has now put up at least 20 shot attempts in three straight games, posting scoring totals of 38, 38 and 40 points in that stretch while shooting 65.2 percent from the field and 80.6 percent from the free-throw line. Given his hot run along with the fact that the Lakers have a chance to pass either the Clippers or Warriors in the standings to avoid a spot in the Western Conference Play-In Tournament, Davis looks like an even stronger fantasy option than usual as Los Angeles closes its regular season with a four-game week.

Davis (foot) is good to go for Sunday's game against the Rockets, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Davis tweaked his ankle during Friday's game, but he'll power through the injury and get out there for a favorable matchup with the Rockets. He's topped 30 points in three of his last four appearances and has averaged 32.0 points, 12.8 rebounds and 2.5 assists in 37.0 minutes per game during that time.
