Los Angeles Lakers forward/center Anthony Davis (Achilles, hip) will play on Sunday against Phoenix. Davis has been dealing with these ailments for a while now, well before the All-Star break. However, he's played through the issues, so fantasy managers anticipated this update. Of course, Davis is a must-start in all fantasy setups, and he should get all the minutes he can handle, especially since the Lakers have just 11 healthy players for Sunday's game.

New Orleans Pelicans forward Naji Marshall will serve a one-game suspension for his involvement in Friday's scuffle with several players of the Miami Heat. The 26-year-old has averaged 7.3 points, 3.4 rebounds, and 2.0 assists in 46 games this season, all down from the 2022-23 campaign. As a result, his absence won't impact many fantasy managers, especially if Zion Williamson (foot) and Brandon Ingram (illness) are active for Sunday's matchup with the Chicago Bulls.

Los Angeles Lakers forward Anthony Davis (Achilles, hip) is questionable for Sunday's meeting with the Phoenix Suns. This injury isn't anything new, so he should be out there, barring a setback. Assuming Davis plays, he's a must-start fantasy option. But with LeBron James (ankle) questionable, Davis could be in line to see a significant bump in fantasy production.

New Orleans Pelicans guard/forward Naji Marshall was ejected from Friday's clash with the Heat. With less than a minute played in the fourth quarter, tempered flared in the game after Kevin Love fouled Zion Williamson. After a scrum formed on the court, Marshall appeared to have put his hand around Jimmy Butler's neck. Marshall might now receive a suspension for the incident. The 26-year-old struggled in Friday's game and finished scoreless in 13 minutes, but he's a valued reserve who would definitely be missed by the team. Marshall averages 7.3 points for the season with 3.4 rebounds and 2.0 assists in 18.4 minutes. The Pelicans resume play on Sunday against Chicago.

Los Angeles Lakers big man Anthony Davis (Achilles/hip) is officially listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Spurs. The 30-year-old did play in the Lakers' first game after the break on Thursday, delivering an impressive performance with 27 points, 15 rebounds, and three blocks in the 128-110 loss to Golden State. While LeBron James (ankle) is expected to return, the Lakers could potentially be without their other star player against San Antonio. Davis boasts averages of 24.9 points, 12.2 rebounds, and 3.8 assists per game this season.
