Impact The Lakers were weary after a dramatic win over the Clippers Wednesday evening, but Davis provided the extra effort needed to overcome the Wizards in overtime. Davis had no problem dominating the paint against Marvin Bagley and kept the game competitive until LeBron James' late-game heroics saved the day. Davis' 49 points marked his second-highest scoring total of the season.

Starting against Washington Davis (Achilles) is starting against the Wizards on Thursday, Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet reports.

Likely to play Thursday Davis (Achilles) is probable for Thursday's game against Washington, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Impact Davis has been dealing with bilateral Achilles tendinopathy recently but has been able to suit up despite the issue over the past few weeks. He's posted double-doubles in his last six appearances, averaging 25.7 points and 13.8 rebounds in 34.3 minutes per game, and he'll likely be available once again Thursday.

20/12 double-double in win Davis finished Wednesday's 116-112 victory over the Clippers with 20 points (8-15 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 4-5 FT), 12 rebounds, two assists, three blocks and two steals across 36 minutes.

Impact The Clippers were without Ivica Zubac (illness) and Davis took advantage, dominating the interior opposite Daniel Theis and Norman Powell.

Gets green light Davis (illness/Achilles) will play in Wednesday's game against the Clippers, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.

Probable for Wednesday Davis is probable for Wednesday's game against the Clippers due to bilateral Achilles tendinopathy, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.

Impact This is the usual probable tag that Davis carries, but he's also dealing with an illness that forced him to miss practice Tuesday. For now, fantasy managers can expect the big man to suit up against the Clippers even though he won't be 100 percent.

FEBRUARY 28 • ROTOWIRE

Misses practice Tuesday Davis did not practice Tuesday due to an upper respiratory illness, Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet reports.

Impact Davis being ill is not ideal in advance of the Lakers' upcoming back-to-back set Wednesday and Thursday against the Clippers and Wizards. He still has over 24 hours to recover, but the Lakers' rotation would be thin in his stead with Christian Wood sidelined due to knee swelling -- potentially leaving Jaxson Hayes as the lone remaining traditional center available.

Props up team in loss Davis amassed 27 points (11-19 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 15 rebounds, one assist and three blocks across 33 minutes during Thursday's 128-110 loss to Golden State.

Impact With LeBron James (ankle) sidelined, Davis was forced to shoulder the load and finished as the only Laker to score over 20 points. He picked up where he left off before the break, notching his third consecutive double-double. Although Davis is an elite fantasy option on his own, production tends to increase for the All-Star when James is absent.

FEBRUARY 23 • ROTOWIRE

Impact Despite having extra time off during the All-Star Break, Davis remains on the Lakers injury report with Achilles and hip issues -- the same injuries that consistently put him on the injury report in the first half of the season. However, he's likely to play Thursday in the opening leg of a back-to-back set, where he'd assume a larger usage rate with LeBron James (ankle) sidelined.
