Davis (knee) has been upgraded to probable for Wednesday's contest against the Mavericks.
EDGE Analysis
Davis is expected to return from a two-game absence due to left knee soreness. The star big man underwent testing that revealed no structural damage, so the decision to hold him out was likely out of an abundance of caution. Before his absence, Davis notched at least 20 points in five of six contests, and in the only game he didn't eclipse 20 points, he registered a massive all-around performance with 17 points, 16 boards, three assists, two steals and two blocks.
