Davis is probable for Wednesday's game versus New Orleans due to a right foot stress injury, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Davis has consistently received probable tags before being upgraded to available due to his lingering foot injury. The star big man is averaging 20.4 points, 14.8 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.8 blocks in 34.2 minutes across his last five games.

Davis finished with 19 points (8-18 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 20 rebounds, three blocks and one assist over 31 minutes during Monday's 127-115 loss to the Trail Blazers.
EDGE Analysis
With LeBron James (ankle) unable to play for the third straight game, Davis again worked as the Lakers' focal point on offense. He led the team with 18 field-goal attempts, but for the third straight contest he made less than half of his tries. Davis is hitting just 37.3 percent of his shot attempts and averaging a modest 18.3 points over that stretch, well below his season marks. However, he's continuing to produce for his fantasy managers in other ways, pulling down 16-plus boards in each of the three contests that James has missed and swatting three shots in back-to-back games.

Davis (foot) is considered probable for Monday's game against Portland, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
As usual, the Lakers are listing Davis as probable, but he's now played in six straight games -- and eight of the last nine -- so the foot issue that caused him to miss more than a month of action in December and January looks to be mostly behind him. Davis is coming off a rough night from the field (13 points, 5-of-19 FG) in Saturday night's win over the Warriors, though for the most part he's looked good since returning. Over his last six games, he's averaging 23.5 points, 12.8 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.3 blocks.

Davis (foot) has been cleared to play in Saturday's game against the Warriors, Marc J. Spears of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
As expected, Davis will appear in a sixth straight game. He could see more usage than usual, as LeBron James (ankle) is sidelined. He'll also have a myriad of new teammates alongside him following the Lakers' busy deadline.

Davis (foot) is probable for Saturday's tilt against the Warriors, Kyle Goon of The Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
Davis' foot remains sore, but he's expected to appear in a sixth straight game. Over the past five, he's averaged 25.6 points, 12.2 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.0 blocks in 35.2 minutes.

Davis posted 23 points (9-22 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 16 rebounds and two assists across 35 minutes during Thursday's 115-106 loss to the Bucks.
EDGE Analysis
With LeBron James (ankle) and all of Los Angeles' trade-deadline acquisitions out of action Thursday, much of the offensive load fell on Davis' shoulders. The big man led the Lakers with 22 field-goal attempts, but he made only nine of those and finished with a modest 23 points. Davis did have a big night on the boards with 16 rebounds, but he didn't record any defensive stats and turned the ball over five times while also committing five fouls. The flurry of trades made by Los Angeles at the deadline shouldn't impact Davis' role -- he figures to remain the team's primary force down low and should continue to battle James for nightly high-scoring honors.

Davis (foot) will play in Thursday's game against the Bucks, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Davis was initially tabbed probable, so his availability doesn't come as a surprise. With LeBron James (ankle) out and Russell Westbrook (trade) out of the picture, Davis should be in line for a massive usage rate Thursday. In 31 appearances this season, Davis has averaged 26.7 points, 11.9 rebounds and 2.0 blocks across 33.4 minutes.
