Wed Feb 21 | 22:58 | Anthony Davis Expected To Play Thursday Versus Warriors |
Los Angeles Lakers center Anthony Davis (Achilles/hip) popped up on the injury report again but is considered probable against the Golden State Warriors on Thursday. As the Lakers get ready to make another run down the stretch, having Davis in this game, when LeBron James (ankle) was ruled out, is huge. The superstar big man is a must-start whenever he's on the floor as he's dominated with a stat line of 24.9 points, 12.2 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 1.1 steals, and 2.5 blocks per game while shooting 55.3% from the floor. In his only game against the Warriors this season, he posted a huge double-double with 29 points and 13 rebounds. Much of the same type of production should be on the way. |

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) and center Anthony Davis (Achilles) are listed as questionable ahead of Tuesday's game against the Detroit Pistons. There is no shock here as both James and Davis are regulars on the injury report. The Lakers seem to list them as questionable ahead of basically every game.

Sun Feb 4 | 23:00 | Anthony Davis Questionable Against Hornets On Monday |
Los Angeles Lakers forward/center Anthony Davis (Achilles/hip) has been tagged as questionable for the team's contest against the Charlotte Hornets on Monday. The superstar big man has been dealing with both a hip and Achilles issue for a while and has come up on the injury report as questionable many times. Fantasy managers will want to check back for updates after the team goes through their shootaround and warmups. Davis ended up playing a full 36 minutes in their last game against the New York Knicks which was an eight-point win where he posted a double-double with four blocks. If he's unable to play, then Jaxson Hayes would receive some extra playing time. |

Sat Feb 3 | 20:06 | LeBron James, Anthony Davis Active On Saturday |
Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) and center Anthony Davis (Achilles) are both active ahead of Saturday's game against the New York Knicks. Both players are back in the mix after sitting out of Thursday's contest. The return of these players means that Jaxson Hayes will head back to the bench. Jarred Vanderbilt (foot) was starting for James, but he suffered an injury during Thursday's game. As a result, Vanderbilt will miss time, which should mean more minutes for Rui Hachimura and Hayes in the rotation. Fantasy managers can get James and Davis back in their lineups for Saturday. |

Fri Feb 2 | 18:25 | Anthony Davis Considered Questionable For Saturday |
Los Angeles Lakers center Anthony Davis (Achilles) is listed as questionable ahead of Saturday's game against the New York Knicks. Both Davis and LeBron James (ankle) were forced to sit out on Thursday. That resulted in Jarred Vanderbilt (foot) and Jaxson Hayes moving into the starting unit. Sadly, Vanderbilt wasn't able to finish the contest and is now expected to miss multiple weeks. The Lakers would be extremely shorthanded if both Davis and James miss Saturday's game. That being said, Rui Hachimura and Jaxson Hayes could be asked to take on heavy roles. Fantasy managers will have to check back on Saturday for another update on their status. |

Thu Feb 1 | 18:18 | Anthony Davis Out Against Celtics |
Los Angeles Lakers center Anthony Davis (Achilles/hip) is out for Thursday's game against the Boston Celtics. It'll be Davis' second straight absence while banged up with bilateral Achilles tendinopathy and a left hip spasm, and he'll target a return for Saturday's showdown against the sizzling-hot New York Knicks in the fifth game of L.A.'s six-game road trip. With LeBron James (ankle) also out on Thursday, the Lakers' frontcourt will be severely undermanned. It's a big upgrade for the matchup outlook of Kristaps Porzingis, but this game now carries significant blowout risk. Jaxson Hayes started in Tuesday's loss to the Atlanta Hawks and will do so again on Thursday alongside Jarred Vanderbilt, per The Athletic's Jovan Buha. More will be asked of Christian Wood and Rui Hachimura from the bench against Boston. |
