Davis is considered probable for Friday's game against the Kings due to lower back tightness, NBA writer Marc Stein reports.

EDGE Analysis

Davis continues to be listed on the Lakers' injury report due to the back issue, but it sounds like he's expected to be available for Friday's contest. The big man hasn't missed a game since Oct. 28 and is averaging 23.0 points, 10.2 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.9 blocks in 34.6 minutes per contest this season.

Davis provided 21 points (9-16 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-4 FT), nine rebounds, three assists and one block in 35 minutes during Wednesday's 114-101 loss to the Clippers.

EDGE Analysis

Davis was efficient from the field and tied for the team lead with nine boards, but his output didn't do much to the move the needle for the freefalling Lakers. The big man's talent alone should allow him to put up these types of numbers on a regular basis, and his scoring could go up if LeBron James -- who left Wednesday's contest with a groin injury -- needs to miss any time. Davis has been a strong fantasy contributor thus far, averaging 23.0 points, 10.2 boards, 2.5 assists, 1.9 blocks and 1.4 steals over 10 games.

Davis (back) is available for Wednesday's game against the Clippers, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

As expected, Davis will take the floor for a sixth straight game despite some lower back tightness that's caused him to remain on the injury report. The big man is coming off a season-high 29 points, but he may not be required to score as much against the Clippers with LeBron James (foot) back in the lineup after a one-game absence.

Davis is probable to play in Wednesday's game versus the Clippers despite lower back tightness, Broderick Turner of the Los Angeles Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Davis is coming off his best scoring game of the season Monday and should continue to produce at a high level if he plays Tuesday. Davis has been dealing with back issues this season but has missed only one game so far.

Davis tallied 29 points (11-18 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 6-7 FT), four rebounds, two assists, one steal and one blocked shot over 29 minutes in a loss to Utah on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

LeBron James sat out the contest due to a foot injury, paving the way for Davis to be the clear-cut focal point on offense. The veteran big man did well by scoring an efficient 29 points -- his high mark this season -- but also produced a season-low four boards. The Lakers are a disastrous 2-8 on the campaign thus far, but that hasn't affected Davis' stock in fantasy, as he's played in all but one contest thus far and is averaging 23.2 points, 10.3 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 2.0 blocks and 1.6 steals per game.

Davis (back) is available for Monday's contest against the Jazz, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Davis entered Monday probable with a lower back injury and is officially active for Los Angeles' contest against Utah. The 29-year-old will be the only All-Star in the Lakers' starting lineup with LeBron James (foot) ruled out. Across his time as a Laker, Davis has averaged 24.1 points, 9.3 rebounds and 2.8 assists during 30 career games without James in the lineup.

Davis is considered probable for Monday's game against the Jazz due to lower back tightness, Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet reports.

EDGE Analysis

Barring any setbacks, it sounds like Davis will be available for Monday's matchup in Utah despite the lingering back issue. The big man is averaging 22.5 points, 11.1 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 1.6 steals and 2.1 blocks in 35.3 minutes per contest this season, and he should see a significant workload Monday with LeBron James (foot) sitting out.

Davis totaled 19 points (7-12 FG, 5-9 FT), 12 rebounds, four assists and one block across 33 minutes during Sunday's 114-100 loss to Cleveland.

EDGE Analysis

Davis tallied 17 of his 19 points in the first half but scored just two points and took only two shots in 14 second-half minutes as the Lakers lost a six-point halftime lead. It was the first time the big man scored fewer than 20 points in a game this season. He has five double-doubles in eight games, and his 11.1 rebounds per game are his highest mark since joining the Lakers in the 2019-20 season.

Lakers head coach Darvin Ham said Davis (back) will play Sunday against the Cavaliers, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Davis has been dealing with a back injury for the last several games, but he's in line to make his fourth straight start since missing the Lakers' Oct. 28 matchup with the Timberwolves. The star big man has scored at least 20 points in each of his seven appearances.

Davis (back) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Cavaliers, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

There's seemingly no end in sight for Davis' questionable designation before every game due to lower back tightness. The Lakers even excused him from shootaround before Friday's matchup so he could rest. He's played well, though. Over the past three games, he's averaged 21.7 points, 13.0 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 2.3 blocks in 36.3 minutes.
