Davis (foot) is good to go for Friday's game against the Thunder, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
No surprise here, as Davis has routinely been given probable designations recently and has usually played through them. Barring any setbacks, the big man should presumably see his usual role as the centerpiece of the Lakers' offensive game plan.

Davis has claimed a probable designation on the Lakers' injury report for Friday's game versus the Thunder, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Davis is consistently given the probable tag ahead of games and has almost always played, so there is little to be concerned about at this point. The big man should continue to be the centerpiece of the Lakers' offensive game plan, with LeBron James (foot) sidelined for an undetermined amount of time.

Davis amassed 27 points (10-18 FG, 7-10 FT), nine rebounds, five assists and one steal in 38 minutes during Wednesday's 122-111 victory over the Suns.
EDGE Analysis
Davis had just seven points at halftime Wednesday, but he was much more aggressive in scoring 20 points over the final two periods. The talented big man fell just one rebound shy of a fifth straight double-double, and he posted his highest assist total in over two weeks. Perhaps the only disappointing part of Davis' performance was his lack of blocks -- he didn't record any swats for just the second time since Feb. 11.

Coach Darvin Ham said Davis is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Suns, Mark Medina of NBA.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Davis has been upgraded from probable to available Wednesday despite a lingering foot injury. He should continue to be the focal point of the Lakers' offense with LeBron James (foot) still out.

Davis amassed 15 points (6-15 FG, 3-6 FT), 11 rebounds, four blocks, two steals and one assist across 34 minutes during Sunday's 111-105 victory over the Magic.
EDGE Analysis
Though Davis provided useful numbers in the defensive categories, he struggled both from the field and the free-throw line en route to finishing with his second-lowest point total of March. Given that Davis had turned in shooting splits of 57/38.5/76.9 percent through his first seven outings of the month, fantasy managers can forgive him for his poor efficiency in Sunday's contest.

EDGE Analysis

EDGE Analysis
Davis continues to deal with a lingering right foot stress injury but isn't at significant risk of missing Sunday's game. Since the All-Star break, he's averaged 26.3 points, 13.3 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 2.2 blocks in 34.5 minutes.

Davis totaled 26 points (9-14 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 8-11 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists and one block over 37 minutes during Friday's 111-110 loss to Dallas.
EDGE Analysis
Davis was excellent statistically in the contest, leading Los Angeles in scoring and posting his third straight double-double. However, a couple of late mistakes -- a foul that gave Maxi Kleber three critical free throws with seven seconds remaining and a subsequent miss from the charity stripe on the Lakers' end -- were key in sending Los Angeles to a stunning loss. That being said, Davis' fantasy managers got another solid night of production from the big man, though there's some minor disappointment in his recent decline in shot blocking. After recording multiple blocks in 10 straight games from Feb. 11 through March 10, Davis has totaled only two swats across his past three contests.

Davis (foot) will play Friday against the Mavericks, according to Harrison Faigen of SBNation.com of SB Nation.
EDGE Analysis
Davis was held out of Wednesday's game against the Rockets as a precaution, and the Lakers ended up with a loss. Rui Hachimura moved into the starting lineup for that contest but had a tough showing, scoring five points in 17 minutes.
