Lakers' Anthony Davis: Racks up massive double-double
Rotowire
Davis contributed 21 points (7-20 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 7-9 FT), 20 rebounds, four assists, six blocks and three steals over 35 minutes during Thursday's 113-100 win over the Kings.
Although Davis (shoulder) exited the game briefly, he turned in a masterful total in a key victory over the Lakers' intrastate rival. His 20 rebounds were a season high by a wide margin, and he easily won the interior duel with Domantas Sabonis, who managed a lesser 18/12 total. Davis and LeBron James both have lingering injuries but are managing to play through them, although James' injury appears to be more serious. Despite being a regular on the injury report, Davis has missed only one game this season, a significant achievement for the veteran.

Lakers' Anthony Davis: Probable vs. Memphis
Rotowire
Davis is probable for Sunday's game against the Grizzlies due to left plantar fasciitis, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports.
Davis has been a mainstay on the injury report due to this nagging injury, but the star big man isn't expected to miss time in the near future, so he should continue to suit up for the Lakers as long as he continues to get the probable tag. Davis is averaging 26.5 points, 11.0 rebounds and 4.0 blocks while averaging 21.0 shots per contest in the last two games during which Los Angeles has been without LeBron James (foot), and fantasy managers can expect another high usage rate Sunday if James sits out again.

Lakers' Anthony Davis: Double-doubles, swats three shots
Rotowire
Davis registered 23 points (10-21 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-5 FT), 11 rebounds, one assist and three blocks in 36 minutes during Friday's 97-87 loss to the Timberwolves.
Davis had a tough matchup against Rudy Gobert on both ends of the court, but that didn't stop the talented big man from notching his third straight double-double with multiple blocks. Davis has nine double-doubles across his previous 10 games, and he should continue to enjoy an uptick in his already-high usage rate as long as LeBron James (foot) remains sidelined. It's a very small sample size, but during the last two games in which James hasn't played, Davis is averaging 26.5 points, 11.0 rebounds and 4.0 blocks while averaging 21.0 shots per contest.

Lakers' Anthony Davis: Just misses triple-double Friday
Rotowire
Davis posted 38 points (15-27 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 8-8 FT), 10 rebounds, eight assists, two blocks and one steal over 42 minutes during Friday's 134-132 overtime loss to the Hawks.
The veteran big was just one point behind LeBron James on the night, but the duo didn't get quite enough help to steal a road win. It was a strong bounce-back effort for Davis, who had scored just 20 total points over his prior two games while shooting 25.0 percent (7-for-28) from the floor. The double-double was his 15th of the season, tying Davis for fifth in the league behind only Domantas Sabonis (20), Karl-Anthony Towns (19), Giannis Antetokounmpo (17) and Friday's opponent, Trae Young (16).
