Davis provided 27 points (9-17 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 8-9 FT), 12 rebounds, one assist, three blocks and one steal over 29 minutes during Wednesday's 128-109 win over Portland.
EDGE Analysis
Davis has been putting up big stat lines so regularly this season that Wednesday's output almost seems quiet. That's quite impressive considering that he finished with his eighth straight double-double and racked up three-plus blocks for the fourth straight contest. Davis has been a gold mine for fantasy managers who were able to snatch him beyond the first round of drafts this season -- he's sitting at the top of the heap in nine-category leagues with per-game averages of 26.3 points, 12.7 boards, 2.6 assists, 2.3 blocks and 1.5 steals while shooting 56.9 percent from the field and 82.0 percent from the charity stripe over 18 contests.

Davis is probable to play in Wednesday's game against the Trail Blazers with low back tightness, Broderick Turner of the Los Angeles Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Davis is apparently dealing with a lower back injury after recovering from his left calf contusion. However, Davis is still likely to play Wednesday, and fantasy players should not hesitate to play him if he's available, as expected.

Davis registered 25 points (9-15 FG, 7-10 FT), 13 rebounds, six assists and four blocks over 36 minutes during Monday's 116-115 loss to Indiana.
EDGE Analysis
Though the Lakers lost the game on a buzzer-beating three-pointer, Davis put together another big stat line. He led the Lakers in both scoring and rebounds while tying with Russell Westbrook for the team lead in assists. Davis also swatted four shots, marking his fifth straight game with multiple blocks. He's recorded a double-double in seven straight contests and is averaging an impressive 30.9 points, 16.4 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 2.9 blocks over that span.

Davis (calf) is active for Monday's game against Indiana, Kyle Goon of The Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
Davis will return to the lineup following an absence in the Lakers' win over the Spurs on Saturday due to a left calf bruise. The center will presumably resume his normal starting role. Across 16 previous starts, Davis averaged 26.3 points, 12.8 rebounds and 2.5 assists.

Davis (calf) is now likely to play in Monday's matchup with the Pacers, Broderick Turner of the Los Angeles Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Davis initially was listed as questionable Monday after missing Saturday's game due to a left calf contusion; however, he will likely give it a go Monday given his new probable tag. If that's the case, Thomas Bryant will likely move back to the bench while Wenyen Gabriel would be in line for a reduced role with both Davis and LeBron James (leg) available.

Davis (calf) is questionable for Monday's game against the Pacers, NBA writer Marc Stein reports.
EDGE Analysis
Davis missed Saturday's win against the Spurs. How he feels Monday will be key to assessing whether the star big man will return to the hardwood or not, but if he can't go, then Thomas Bryant would be in line to get another start at center.

Davis (calf) is expected to return to the lineup Monday against the Pacers, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Davis missed Saturday's game against the Spurs, but the Lakers won by a 143-138 score while his replacements, Thomas Bryant and Wenyen Gabriel, combined for 24 points, eight rebounds and five blocks. That said, Davis' return will provide a huge return to the Lakers on both ends of the floor. The star big man has posted six double-doubles in a row and is averaging 31.8 points, 17.0 rebounds, 2.7 blocks, 2.5 assists and 2.0 steals per game during that span.

Davis (calf) is out Saturday against the Spurs, Chris Haynes of Turner Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
Davis will miss his first game since Oct. 28. Davis has been dealing with back soreness for most of the season but will sit out due to a bruised calf Saturday. In his absence, Thomas Bryant and Damian Jones are strong candidates to see extra run.
