Modestly effective in loss Davis provided 21 points (9-16 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-4 FT), nine rebounds, three assists and one block in 35 minutes during Wednesday's 114-101 loss to the Clippers.

Impact Davis was efficient from the field and tied for the team lead with nine boards, but his output didn't do much to the move the needle for the freefalling Lakers. The big man's talent alone should allow him to put up these types of numbers on a regular basis, and his scoring could go up if LeBron James -- who left Wednesday's contest with a groin injury -- needs to miss any time. Davis has been a strong fantasy contributor thus far, averaging 23.0 points, 10.2 boards, 2.5 assists, 1.9 blocks and 1.4 steals over 10 games.

Good to go Wednesday Davis (back) is available for Wednesday's game against the Clippers, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.

Impact As expected, Davis will take the floor for a sixth straight game despite some lower back tightness that's caused him to remain on the injury report. The big man is coming off a season-high 29 points, but he may not be required to score as much against the Clippers with LeBron James (foot) back in the lineup after a one-game absence.

Drops season-high 29 points Davis tallied 29 points (11-18 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 6-7 FT), four rebounds, two assists, one steal and one blocked shot over 29 minutes in a loss to Utah on Monday.

Impact LeBron James sat out the contest due to a foot injury, paving the way for Davis to be the clear-cut focal point on offense. The veteran big man did well by scoring an efficient 29 points -- his high mark this season -- but also produced a season-low four boards. The Lakers are a disastrous 2-8 on the campaign thus far, but that hasn't affected Davis' stock in fantasy, as he's played in all but one contest thus far and is averaging 23.2 points, 10.3 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 2.0 blocks and 1.6 steals per game. The back issue continues to be a concern for his game status, but it hasn't seemed to affect him once he's out there.
