Davis (shoulder) is listed as probable for Tuesday's Game 2 against the Suns.
EDGE Analysis
Davis was also listed on the injury report of Game 1, so this comes as no surprise. The All-Star should be ready to shoulder a full workload as his team attempts to even the series.

Davis totaled 13 points (5-16 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-5 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and three blocked shots over 29 minutes Sunday in a loss to the Suns in Game 1 of the first-round playoff series.
EDGE Analysis
The last time these two teams faced each other in the regular season, Davis went off for 42 points and 12 boards. His performance Sunday was a clunker by comparison, as the big man hit only five of his 16 field-goal attempts and never found a rhythm offensively. Davis did block three shots and avoided committing any turnovers, but his overall impact on the contest was minimal. He had an uneven regular season thanks largely to a groin injury that forced him to miss 30 straight games, so there's certainly a possibility of some lingering rust. Davis will look to ramp up his contributions in Game 2 on Tuesday.

Davis (shoulder) will play Sunday in Game 1 against the Suns, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Davis and LeBron James (ankle) had both been listed as probable, so it's no surprise that both are playing. The 28-year-old went for 25 points and 12 boards during Wednesday's play-in victory over Golden State.

Davis is probable for Sunday's Game 1 at Phoenix with a sprained right shoulder, Kyle Goon of The Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 28-year-old was previously listed on the injury report with an adductor injury, but he's apparently dealing with a shoulder sprain after Wednesday's play-in victory over Golden State. Regardless, the injury isn't expected to affect Davis' availability for the start of the playoffs.

EDGE Analysis
Davis led the Lakers in scoring Wednesday and has looked dominant on both ends of the court recently, scoring at least 20 points in five of his last six appearances and registering four double-doubles in that span.

Davis totaled 14 points (5-12 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 4-6 FT), five rebounds, one assist and one steal across 30 minutes in Sunday's 110-98 victory over New Orleans.
EDGE Analysis
Davis entered the contest having averaged 31.5 points and 10 boards over his previous four games, but he had a muted performance by his standards Sunday. Despite the win, the Lakers finished the campaign in the seventh spot in the Western Conference, so they will face Golden State as part of the play-in tournament Wednesday. Davis finished an injury-plagued second season in Los Angeles with per-game averages of 21.8 points, 7.9 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 1.6 blocks. He played in only 36 of the team's 72 contests.

Davis (adductor) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Pelicans.
EDGE Analysis
Davis is dealing with tightness in his left adductor, which has him uncertain for the last game of the regular season. He looked good in Saturday's win over Indiana, going for 28 points, 10 boards, five assists and two steals across 36 minutes.
