Anthony

Davis

Davis has missed one game this month but appears set to play in the first of two straight home games against San Antonio after having its game against Charlotte postponed due to wildfires. All games are expected to go on as scheduled from here on out, though.

Davis is once again on the injury report, but the expectation is that he’ll be available to play. Look for him to take on his usual role as the Lakers’ starting center, providing elite fantasy value.

Counting Tuesday, Davis has recorded a double-double in 12 consecutive games in which he’s reached double digits in minutes played. He didn’t have his best night in Dallas, but fantasy managers will take the points, rebounds, and blocked shots. Davis remains one of the top players in fantasy basketball this season, regardless of position or league format. The Lakers play twice more during Week 11, beginning with the Hornets on Thursday.

James and Davis were initially probable for Tuesday’s game, so the status upgrades were expected. They’ll take on their usual responsibilities within the Lakers’ starting lineup. Managers with either player rostered need to ensure they aren’t sitting on the bench before lineups lock.

Davis is back on the injury report for the season issue that has plagued him for a few games. The probable tag suggests he’ll be able to play. If Davis cannot play, Jaxson Hayes will move into the starting lineup, with Christian Koloko rejoining the rotation. Only Hayes would be worth streaming in this scenario.

After having a poor shooting night in their win over the Hawks, AD got back on track in this game, even if it wasn’t enough for them to walk away with a win. This was the second time this season that Davis has recorded a 30-point double-double with at least five blocks. The rest of the league has a total of zero games reaching that threshold. Davis has done it 19 times in his career, which is sixth in NBA history behind five of the greatest centers in NBA history. The Lakers have three games next week, starting in Dallas on Tuesday.

As expected, both of the Lakers’ superstars will once again be available to play in this game. They’ll continue to pour in elite numbers in this game as they look to win a third straight game.

Davis returned to the lineup on Friday, playing 37 minutes in the Lakers’ win over Atlanta. The probable tag suggests he’ll be available for Sunday night. If not, Jaxson Hayes would receive the starting nod, with Christian Koloko re-entering the rotation as his backup.

Davis was back in the lineup after sitting out Thursday’s win over the Trail Blazers. While he didn’t shoot well on Friday, the Lakers center provided excellent value in rebounds, steals, and blocked shots. Davis continues to provide top-10 per-game value in 8- and 9-cat formats, performing slightly better in the latter. The good news for fantasy managers is that they will likely get three games out of Davis as the Lakers visit the Rockets on Sunday.

Davis missed Thursday’s game against the Trail Blazers and was originally listed as questionable Friday with an ankle injury, but will ultimately suit up. Davis is set to rejoin the starting lineup, sending Jaxson Hayes back to the bench.
