Davis (foot) is probable to face the Mavericks on Friday, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Davis didn't play Wednesday against the Rockets due to a nagging foot injury that has been bothering him for quite some time, but it seems the extra rest helped him. The big man is now on track to return to action Friday, and having him back would be a huge boost for a Los Angeles team that's already missing LeBron James (foot). Davis is averaging 27.8 points, 12.8 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 1.8 blocks per game across six March appearances.

Coach Darvin Ham said Tuesday that Davis won't play in Wednesday's game versus the Rockets due to an "active" foot injury despite being pain-free, Kyle Goon of The Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
Davis has played the last six games through his nagging foot injury but will sit out the second leg of the Lakers' back-to-back Wednesday. However, fantasy managers should expect him back in the lineup against the Mavericks on Friday. Wenyen Gabriel will likely receive an increased role in Davis' absence.

Davis (foot) is available for Tuesday's game versus the Pelicans.
EDGE Analysis
Davis has been upgraded from probable to available Tuesday with a nagging foot injury. While he is coming off two-lackluster scoring performances, the star big man should continue to be the focal point of the Lakers' offense with LeBron James (foot) still out.

Davis (foot) is probable for Tuesday's game against the Pelicans, Harrison Faigen of SBNation.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Davis is coming off of back-to-back disappointing performances, but he is expected to play through his lingering foot issue and will attempt to keep the Lakers in playoff contention with LeBron James (foot) sidelined. However, fantasy managers are still encouraged to confirm Davis' status ahead of Tuesday's 8:00 p.m. ET tip. Before his lackluster outings, Davis scored at least 30 points in three straight games and averaged 35.7 points, 11.7 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 2.0 blocks with 58/44/81 shooting splits during that stretch.

Davis ended with 17 points (8-18 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-5 FT), 16 rebounds, four assists, two steals and one block across 37 minutes during Sunday's 112-108 loss to New York.
EDGE Analysis
Davis hit the double-double milestone, but the Lakers needed more than 17 points from the 30-year-old in order to knock off the Knicks. After hitting eight of his 18 shot attempts on the night, Davis saw a five-game streak of hitting 50 percent or more of his field goals come to an end. To make matters worse, Davis struggled from the charity stripe, resulting in him finishing with one of his more inefficient efforts in a while.

Davis (foot) will be available for Sunday's game against the Knicks, independent NBA writer Marc Stein reports.
EDGE Analysis
As expected, Davis' inclusion on the injury report looks like it was once again simply a formality, as the big man will suit up for the 16th time in the last 17 games. Davis is coming off of an uncharacteristically quiet effort in Friday's win over Toronto (eight points, nine rebounds in 33 minutes), though prior to that game he'd scored at least 28 points in five straight.

Davis is listed as probable for Sunday's game versus the Knicks due to a right foot stress injury, Broderick Turner of the Los Angeles Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Davis frequently receives a probable tag leading up to a contest, as was the case ahead of Friday's tilt against the Raptors. He has still played in four straight games and 15 of the last 16, so there's little reason to anticipate the star big man missing Sunday's game. Davis is coming off a rough showing Friday, finishing with fewer than 10 points for the first time this season for a full game, so he'll likely be locked in looking to bounce back Sunday.

Davis supplied eight points (4-7 FG), nine rebounds, three assists and four blocks across 33 minutes during Friday's 122-112 victory over Toronto.
EDGE Analysis
Davis uncharacteristically took a back seat on offense Friday, putting up just seven shots over 33 minutes. Prior to the trade deadline, that would have likely been disastrous for the Lakers offense, but D'Angelo Russell (28 points) and a host of other players on the team stepped up to lead the team to victory. Despite the quiet scoring night, Davis wasn't entirely unproductive, posting nine rebounds and a game-high four blocks. The star big man has swatted multiple shots in 10 straight games and is averaging 24.5 points, 13.6 boards, 2.6 assists and 2.8 swats over that span.

Davis (foot) is probable for Friday's matchup against the Raptors.
EDGE Analysis
A right foot stress injury continues to land Davis on the injury report, though the Lakers can't afford to rest him much with LeBron James (foot) sidelined until late March. Davis has appeared in three straight games, averaging 35.7 points, 11.7 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 2.0 blocks in 35.3 minutes.
