Los Angeles Lakers forward/center Anthony Davis (knee) will sit out Wednesday's game against Memphis. This should come as a surprise to no one after Davis put in a mammoth of an effort across a career-high 52 minutes in a double-overtime win against Milwaukee on Tuesday. Jaxson Hayes will pick up his fourth start of the year in Davis' stead. He's averaged 10.0 points and 7.7 rebounds in the role and should do well against a weak Memphis squad that has the league's third-lowest rebounding rate.

Miami Heat guard/forward Caleb Martin (ankle) is in danger of missing his first game since Jan. 10, as the team considers him questionable for Tuesday's tilt against the Warriors. Martin has been a frequent guest on the injury report and is currently dealing with right ankle discomfort, but he's had an impressive ironman streak of 34 consecutive appearances. The 28-year-old leads the Heat bench mob on a nightly basis, averaging 10.8 points and 4.7 rebounds for the month. Patty Mills and Haywood Highsmith are in line to benefit from Martin's absence, although Miami's second unit might struggle on Tuesday because the Warriors allow the sixth-fewest bench points in the league.

Los Angeles Lakers forward/center Anthony Davis (Achilles) is probable for Tuesday's game in Milwaukee. The Achilles issue isn't anything new, and Davis will likely continue to deal with it for the remainder of the 2023-24 campaign, including the playoffs, assuming the Lakers advance. But he's only missed four games this season, with his most recent absence occurring over a month ago. With Los Angeles commencing a six-game road trip, there's a chance the 31-year-old could get a night off during that stretch. However, if LeBron James (ankle), who is doubtful for Tuesday, doesn't suit up, Davis would be a lock for all fantasy lineups.

Los Angeles Lakers center/forward Anthony Davis (Achilles) has been upgraded to active, as expected, against the Indiana Pacers on Sunday night. The superstar big man was already listed as probable, so the fact that he was upgraded doesn't come as a surprise. The offensive load grew bigger once D'Angelo Russell (illness) was a late scratch, but at least the team gets LeBron James (ankle) who was originally listed as questionable. Davis is a must-start fantasy asset in all formats and all league sizes. He's registered 15 double-doubles in his last 16 games played.

Miami Heat forward Caleb Martin (ankle) has been cleared to play ahead of Friday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. He was a late addition to the injury report but appears to be fine now. Martin has been playing over 30 minutes per game with the Heat shorthanded right now. The expectation is that trend is going to continue until the Heat get healthy again. Martin struggled during his last game but is worth a look as a streaming option with the Heat thin on depth.
