Rotowire
Davis produced 18 points (6-17 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 6-7 FT), 19 rebounds, four assists, three blocks and three steals across 37 minutes during Friday's 119-102 win over Atlanta.

Onyeka Okongwu had more success against him, but Davis was the clear rebound leader by a wide margin. Davis is aiming to ignite a double-double streak, and he now has three of them in a row. Davis has a challenging matchup opposite Alperen Sengun in his next game, but he has an excellent chance to extend the streak to four.

Lakers' Anthony Davis: Ruled out vs. Portland
Rotowire
Davis (ankle) is out for Thursday's game against the Trail Blazers, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.
Davis will miss the first leg of this back-to-back set after he was previously downgraded to doubtful Thursday. This means Jaxson Hayes could get the start at center, though other players in the frontcourt, such as Rui Hachimura and Dorian Finney-Smith, could see expanded roles. Davis' next chance to play will come in the second half of this back-to-back set against the Hawks on Friday.

Lakers' Anthony Davis: Questionable to face Portland
Rotowire
Davis (ankle) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Trail Blazers, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.
Davis has been a regular on the injury report, most recently due to a left ankle sprain. He hasn't missed a game since Nov. 6, but Thursday is the first leg of a back-to-back set for the Lakers, so he could be sidelined for one of those contests.

Davis supplied 28 points (12-23 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 13 rebounds, four assists, two blocks and three steals over 37 minutes during Tuesday's 122-110 loss to the Cavaliers.
The Lakers couldn't end the calendar year on a strong note with a win, but Davis still delivered an impressive fantasy line while filling the stat sheet admirably.

Davis sprained his left ankle during the Lakers' Christmas Day win over the Warriors.

Lakers' Anthony Davis: Iffy for Saturday
Rotowire
Davis (ankle) didn't participate in Friday's practice and is currently listed as questionable for Saturday's game in Los Angeles against the Kings, Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet reports.
Davis went down with an ankle sprain in the win over the Warriors on Christmas Day, which resulted in him playing only seven minutes against Golden State. However, the sprain might not be as bad as initially thought, as he could play Saturday when the team faces the Kings for a fourth and final time during the regular season. If Davis misses the matchup against Sacramento, coach JJ Redick may have to turn to Christian Koloko more off the bench and rookie standout Dalton Knecht, who both got a bump in minutes against the Warriors.

Lakers' Anthony Davis: Expects to play Saturday
Rotowire
Davis said after exiting Wednesday's 115-113 win over the Warriors that he expects to be available for Saturday's game against the Kings, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports. "I'll be OK," Davis said. "I am playing against Sacramento on Saturday."
Davis sprained his left ankle late in the first quarter of Wednesday's contest and didn't return, finishing the contest with zero points (0-3 FG), two rebounds and one steal in seven minutes. Reserve center Christian Koloko logged nine minutes off the bench following Davis' departure, but the Lakers otherwise got by with small-ball lineups for most of the contest. While Davis' comments about his ankle are encouraging, he'll still likely appear on the injury report ahead of Saturday's contest, so fantasy managers should continue to keep close tabs on his status.

Lakers' Anthony Davis: Ankle injury doesn't appear too serious
Rotowire
Davis was able to walk without any support and is viewed as day-to-day after exiting Wednesday's 115-113 win over the Warriors late in the first quarter with a sprained left ankle, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.
Though Davis was unable to return to the Christmas Day contest, his ability to walk without any support on the ankle bodes well for his chances of being available for the Lakers' next game Saturday versus Sacramento. Even so, fantasy managers will still want to keep a close eye on updates pertaining to Davis' status in the coming days.
