Lakers management loves to be cautious with injury tags, so this is an excellent sign of Davis being near 100% heading into a pivotal game for playoff seeding. The nine-time All-Star is averaging a stat-stuffing 24.1 points, 14.1 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 2.1 blocks, and 1.5 steals since the All-Star break. Lakers guards D'Angelo Russell and Austin Reaves also benefit from Davis playing by getting more open looks when opposing teams double him.

Golden State Warriors guard Klay Thompson will move into the starting lineup ahead of Monday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. The veteran guard will make his return to the starting lineup on Monday. His return will shift Brandin Podziemski to the second unit, but he should play a large role off the bench. Thompson has finished with 25 points or more in two straight games. Fantasy managers might want to ride the hot hand on Monday and go with Thompson.
