Davis (wrist) will play in Wednesday's game against the Trail Blazers, Kyle Goon of The Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
According to head coach Frank Vogel, Davis will play on Wednesday and is also expected to be available for Thursday's matchup with the Clippers. With LeBron James (knee) missing a fourth consecutive game, Davis figures to see another significant workload as long as the wrist holds up. The star big man is averaging 23.2 points, 9.5 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 1.2 steals and 2.1 blocks across 35.0 minutes per game this season.

The Lakers list Davis (wrist) as probable for Wednesday's contest against the Trail Blazers.
EDGE Analysis
Davis played through the wrist issue Sunday and totaled 27 points (10-20 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 6-9 FT), five rebounds, four assists, two steals and one block in 36 minutes. Barring a setback, the star big man will likely be available and see a similar workload against Portland on Wednesday.

Davis provided 27 points (10-20 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 6-9 FT), five rebounds, four assists, one block and two steals over 36 minutes during Sunday's 129-121 loss to Atlanta.
EDGE Analysis
Although he posted a below-average rebound total, Davis shot 50 percent from the floor in the loss. Without LeBron James (knee), Davis and Malik Monk did their best to absorb James' production but ultimately came up short with an offensive breakdown in the second half.

Davis (wrist) will play Sunday against the Hawks, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Davis was upgraded from questionable to probable earlier Sunday, so it's not much of a surprise he's suiting up in Atlanta after missing the previous contest. The 28-year-old should carry an increased offensive workload with LeBron James (knee) unavailable.

Davis (wrist) has been upgraded from questionable to probable for Sunday's game against the Hawks, Chris Haynes of Yahoo Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
Davis recently returned from an extended absence due to an MCL sprain of his knee, but it was a sore right wrist that kept him from playing in the second half of a back-to-back set Friday in Charlotte. The Lakers are apparently confident the wrist issue isn't a major concern, however, and Davis should be formally cleared to play if he makes it through pregame warmups ahead of the 1 p.m. ET tipoff without incident. In his most recent game Thursday in Philadelphia, Davis submitted one of his best outings of the season, scoring 31 points (14-21 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-3 FT) while adding 12 rebounds, four blocks, two steals and one assist.

Davis (wrist) is questionable for Sunday's game against Atlanta, Bill Oram of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Davis was unavailable Friday against the Hornets due to right wrist soreness, but he'll have a chance to return Sunday. If he remains sidelined, the Lakers would be shorthanded in the frontcourt once again since LeBron James (knee) has already been ruled out.

Davis (wrist) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Hornets, Mike Trudell of the Lakers' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Davis sustained a wrist injury in Thursday's loss to the 76ers and will be unavailable for the second half of the backt-to-back set. Dwight Howard and DeAndre Jordan should see increased run with Davis and LeBron James (knee) out.

Davis (wrist) is questionable for Friday's contest against the Hornets, Kyle Goon of The Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
Davis briefly left Thursday's loss to the Sixers due to the wrist injury, but he was able to return and posted an elite state line -- 31 points, 12 rebounds, four blocks and two steals. If he's ruled out, Dwight Howard and DeAndre Jordan would be forced to man the center position, though the Lakers could also play small with LeBron James (knee) at the five, if he's available.

Davis provided 31 points (14-21 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 12 rebounds, one assist, four blocks and two steals across 34 minutes during Thursday's 105-87 loss to the 76ers.
EDGE Analysis
Davis finished the loss with his best overall performance in quite some time. While the production was nothing but elite, he was forced to the locker room earlier in the game due to a hand injury. Although he managed to return, X-rays were required after the game. Fortunately, he was given the all-clear. However, fantasy managers will want to watch the injury report ahead of Friday's game against the Hornets.
