Los Angeles Lakers forward/center Anthony Davis (back) is questionable for Tuesday's Play-In matchup with New Orleans. These clubs met on Sunday for the regular-season finale. AD logged 33 minutes in that one, finishing with 30 points, 11 rebounds, and two steals. Unfortunately, his day ended after experiencing back spasms. As a result, Davis is now on the injury report, although he's adamant he will be out there for the pivotal contest. If he's not, Jaxson Hayes will presumably take his spot in the rotation. Hayes has averaged 11.0 points, 7.2 rebounds, and 2.0 steals in five starts during the 2023-24 campaign, giving him plenty of value potential for DFS managers.

Los Angeles Lakers forward/center Anthony Davis (back, hip) finished with a 30-point, 11-rebound double-double in Sunday's win over the New Orleans Pelicans. Unfortunately, he exited the contest, with ESPN's Dave McMenamin reporting he suffered hip and back spasms after an awkward fall. With the victory, the Lakers secured the No. 8 spot in the Western Conference and will remain in New Orleans to meet the Pelicans on Tuesday. Davis vows he will play. But things happen, so Jaxson Hayes could be in line to start if AD doesn't suit up.

Los Angeles Lakers forward Anthony Davis (eye) is listed as probable for Sunday's regular-season finale with New Orleans. AD has not only been dealing with an eye injury, but he also missed time because of an illness. However, he suited up Friday against Memphis and posted 36 points, 14 rebounds, five assists, and two blocks in 43 minutes, helping the Lakers move up to the No. 8 seed in the Western Conference. The Lakers can clinch the No. 8 seed with a win in Sunday's regular-season finale, so AD and the other starters will see plenty of extra minutes in New Orleans.

Los Angeles Lakers forward Anthony Davis (eye) will play on Friday against Memphis. He was listed as probable, so the update isn't a surprise. But AD has not only been dealing with an eye injury, but he also missed time because of an illness. As a result, Davis could see fewer minutes if the Lakers build a decisive lead over the injury-plagued Grizzlies.

Los Angeles Lakers forward/center Anthony Davis (eye) is expected to be back in action on Friday against Memphis. He's been battling a left eye injury since last week and couldn't play on Tuesday versus Golden State because he was experiencing a headache and nausea. Jaxson Hayes played well as Davis' fill-in in the starting five, but he will head back on the bench on Friday, which drops his fantasy appeal near the minimum. The Grizzlies remain without Jaren Jackson Jr. (quadriceps), meaning there's really nobody on the squad capable of slowing down Davis, so this could be a big comeback game for the Lakers star.

Los Angeles Lakers center Anthony Davis (eye, illness) won't play in Tuesday's game against Golden State. AD logged only 12 minutes in Sunday's meeting with the Minnesota Timberwolves before suffering an eye injury. He was listed as questionable heading into this one, so it appeared he at least had a shot to get on the floor. However, that won't happen, as Davis is now battling nausea and headaches. With LeBron James (illness) also not a lock to suit up, D'Angelo Russell, Austin Reaves, Spencer Dinwiddie, and Rui Hachimura could all benefit on the scoring end. Jaxson Hayes, averaging 11.0 points, 7.5 rebounds, and 2.3 steals in four starts this season, should also see more interest from DFS participants.

Los Angeles Lakers center Anthony Davis (eye) is considered questionable for Tuesday's contest versus the Golden State Warriors. The superstar only played 12 minutes in Sunday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves because he suffered a left eye injury and could not return. Earlier reports sounded encouraging about his ability to suit up, but fantasy managers will want to check back before tip-off on Tuesday to confirm his status. The Lakers might be without LeBron James (illness), so having Davis on the court is vital for their success if they hope to move up the Western Conference standings before the regular season ends.

According to ESPN's Dave McMenamin, there is "optimism" that Los Angeles Lakers forward/center Anthony Davis (eye) can play on Tuesday versus Golden State. The Lakers star aggravated a left eye injury in Sunday's matchup against Minnesota, exiting after logging only 12 minutes. He was inadvertently hit in the face by Timberwolves forward Kyle Anderson near the end of the first quarter. Jaxson Hayes had a good game with 19 points and 10 rebounds as Davis' fill-in in the center position, but he will have to settle for a bench role again on Tuesday if Davis is cleared to play.

Los Angeles Lakers center/forward Anthony Davis (knee) has been listed as questionable for Saturday's matchup against Cleveland. The calendar makers have been cruel to the Lakers, as they face their second back-to-back of the week on Saturday and Sunday, and Davis could be rested for one of the games. His workload might also be monitored. Davis logged only 28 minutes on Tuesday versus Toronto before putting in a 38-minute shift the next night against Washington. Both of the weekend's games are tough matchups on paper for Davis, but he's playing some great basketball right now. Since the All-Star break, the Lakers star has posted 24.5 points, 14.4 rebounds, 2.1 blocks, and 1.3 steals.

Los Angeles Lakers All-Stars Anthony Davis (knee) and LeBron James (ankle) will play in the second leg of a back-to-back on Wednesday versus Washington. Both saw less than 30 minutes of action on Tuesday against Toronto and should have some extra freshness from the lighter workload. The Wizards have one of the weakest defenses in the league, so this could end up as a real massacre as James and Davis try to keep the team's playoff push going.

Los Angeles Lakers forward/center Anthony Davis (knee) is expected to be in the lineup as the team completes a back-to-back against the Wizards on Wednesday. Davis recorded a 21-point, 12-rebound double-double with 10-for-20 shooting in Tuesday's 128-111 win over Toronto, logging 28 minutes of action. The veteran star missed the second leg of a back-to-back last week, but that came following a 52-minute outing, and it looks like he will be good to go this time around versus Washington. Davis should dominate against a team that allows centers to shoot over 60 percent from the field and gives up a league-high 17.7 rebounds per 48 minutes to the position.

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) and center Anthony Davis (knee) are both listed as questionable for Tuesday's tilt against the Toronto Raptors. Tuesday marks the fifth outing of a six-game road trip for the Lakers, with another game on tap in a quick turnaround for Wednesday against the Washington Wizards. James, dealing with an ankle problem, and Davis, managing a knee issue, have been on LA's injury report essentially all season, and one or both could sit out on the front end of the back-to-back against a Raptors group that hasn't won a game since March 3. D'Angelo Russell and Austin Reaves may be in line for expanded workloads if James and/or Davis are out on Tuesday, with Russell averaging 22.4 points, 10.8 assists, 5.5 rebounds, 1.4 steals, and 3.3 treys across 10 games without James this year and signifying an elite fantasy play in these scenarios.

Los Angeles Lakers stars LeBron James (ankle) and Anthony Davis (knee) will play on Sunday against Brooklyn. Both players have been upgraded from questionable to available. The two will be looking to finish off a good month in style. James has posted 24.8 points, 8.5 rebounds, and 9.4 assists in March, while Davis boasts 11 double-doubles from 12 appearances this month, averaging 22.8 points and 14.5 rebounds with 2.1 blocks and 1.3 steals.

Los Angeles Lakers forward/center Anthony Davis (knee) is questionable for Sunday's contest in Brooklyn. A.D. isn't a stranger to the league's official injury report. But surprisingly, he hasn't missed much time this season. The Lakers have a slight edge over Golden State for the No. 9 spot in the Western Conference, so Davis could afford a night off. However, If he doesn't suit up, Rui Hachimura and Jaxson Hayes would warrant consideration in any DFS contest.

Los Angeles Lakers forward/center Anthony Davis (knee) will return to the lineup on Friday against Indiana. He's ready to rock again after sitting out the second leg of a back-to-back versus Memphis on Wednesday. The Lakers also faced Indiana last week, and Davis went off for 36 points and 16 rebounds. It's a very favorable fantasy matchup, and we should see another juicy line from Davis on Friday.

Los Angeles Lakers forward/center Anthony Davis (knee) is questionable for Friday's showdown with the Indiana Pacers. Despite being frequently mentioned on the league's official injury report, A.D. has only missed five games this season. He logged 52 minutes in Tuesday's double-overtime win over the Milwaukee Bucks, ending the night with a game-high 34 points and 23 rebounds with four blocks. However, Davis sat out the following night against Memphis because of a knee issue. With that said, he likely sat out for rest purposes, so fantasy managers could see him back in the lineup versus Indy. On the other hand, if Davis misses another contest, Jaxson Hayes and Rui Hachimura, combining for 48 points on Wednesday, will remain attractive DFS options.

Los Angeles Lakers forward/center Anthony Davis (knee) will sit out Wednesday's game against Memphis. This should come as a surprise to no one after Davis put in a mammoth of an effort across a career-high 52 minutes in a double-overtime win against Milwaukee on Tuesday. Jaxson Hayes will pick up his fourth start of the year in Davis' stead. He's averaged 10.0 points and 7.7 rebounds in the role and should do well against a weak Memphis squad that has the league's third-lowest rebounding rate.

Los Angeles Lakers forward/center Anthony Davis (Achilles) is probable for Tuesday's game in Milwaukee. The Achilles issue isn't anything new, and Davis will likely continue to deal with it for the remainder of the 2023-24 campaign, including the playoffs, assuming the Lakers advance. But he's only missed four games this season, with his most recent absence occurring over a month ago. With Los Angeles commencing a six-game road trip, there's a chance the 31-year-old could get a night off during that stretch. However, if LeBron James (ankle), who is doubtful for Tuesday, doesn't suit up, Davis would be a lock for all fantasy lineups.

Los Angeles Lakers center/forward Anthony Davis (Achilles) has been upgraded to active, as expected, against the Indiana Pacers on Sunday night. The superstar big man was already listed as probable, so the fact that he was upgraded doesn't come as a surprise. The offensive load grew bigger once D'Angelo Russell (illness) was a late scratch, but at least the team gets LeBron James (ankle) who was originally listed as questionable. Davis is a must-start fantasy asset in all formats and all league sizes. He's registered 15 double-doubles in his last 16 games played.

Los Angeles Lakers forward/center Anthony Davis (Achilles) has been listed as probable for Friday night's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. Even though he's been a mainstay on the injury report, Davis hasn't been forced to miss a game since the end of January. He'll take on a short-handed Sixers squad that is very vulnerable down low since Joel Embiid (knee) hasn't been on the court. Davis is in line for a big night, especially if LeBron James (ankle) doesn't get upgraded from questionable. As long as Davis remains healthy, he should never be on the bench in any fantasy format.
