Davis is probable for Friday's matchup against the Celtics with a bruised right thigh, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Davis has emerged from Wednesday's loss to Milwaukee with a bruised thigh but should be able to play Friday, and it's possible LeBron James (abdomen) makes his return. Over the past six games, Davis is averaging 25.0 points, 10.5 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 2.0 blocks and 1.5 steals in 37.5 minutes.

Davis tallied 18 points (9-15 FG, 0-1 3Pt) to go along with nine rebounds, four assists and two blocks in Wednesday's 109-102 loss to the Bucks.
EDGE Analysis
Davis is averaging 22.6 points and 9.3 rebounds in eight games since LeBron James was ruled out with an abdominal strain. The Lakers big man is shooting just 19.4 percent from deep this season, the lowest of his career since 2015. With James questionable to return to the team Friday, expect Davis to remain as the Lakers' primary scoring threat.

Davis was ejected from Monday's game against Chicago after picking up two technical fouls. He finished with 20 points (6-9 FG, 8-9 FT), six rebounds, one assist and one steal in 28 minutes.
EDGE Analysis
Davis picked up his second technical foul in the game near the end of the third quarter. He appeared upset with the officials, who allowed Chicago to inbound the ball while he was missing a shoe. While an early exit isn't exactly what fantasy managers are looking for out of the star forward, he still managed to put together a serviceable line.

EDGE Analysis
Davis continues to find his way on the injury report due to a nagging thumb issue, but he'll be good to go Monday. Coach Frank Vogel stated before tipoff that Davis' status is "game-to-game," likely meaning the issue is still impacting the Kentucky product.

Davis (thumb) is probable for Monday's game against the Bulls, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Davis will carry an injury designation once again as he continues to deal with a right thumb sprain, but he was able to play through his injury Sunday. He didn't appear to have any restrictions in the win over the Spurs, as he totaled 34 points, 15 rebounds, six assists, two steals and a block in 40 minutes.

Davis compiled 34 points (14-24 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 4-5 FT), 15 rebounds, six assists, two steals and a blocked shot across 40 minutes in Sunday's 114-106 win over the Spurs.
EDGE Analysis
Davis' thumb injury may be improving if Sunday's stat line is any indication of his overall health. His performance is exactly what the Lakers need to help them right the ship, especially with LeBron James (abdomen) sidelined. The debut of Talen Horton-Tucker should be a great help to Davis, who desperately needs additional playmakers as he carries the team on his shoulders.

Davis (thumb) will start Sunday's game against the Spurs, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Davis is always seemingly dealing with some sort of nagging injury, and his most recent issue is a sprained thumb. The big man will continue to play through the issue as the Lakers look to bounce back from an ugly, blowout loss to the Timberwolves on Friday night. Davis finished that game with 22 points, eight boards, two assists, three steals and three blocks.
