A. Davis - PF

LAL

Anthony Davis (back soreness) had 17 points, six boards, five assists, three steals and three blocks in 33 minutes during the Lakers' 112-95 win vs. his former Pelicans team on Friday.

AD recently challenged the Lakers to improve defensively, and they've responded in a big way. They came into Friday's game allowing a league-low 104.4 points per 100 possessions, and coach Frank Vogel called Davis "the most talented defensive player in the league" and "the centerpiece" of the Lakers' defensive approach. His defensive stats tonight were glorious, and he also played 33 minutes without a single turnover. He shot just 5-of-16 from the field but should fare better vs. the Kings' defense on Sunday.

LAL

Anthony Davis (lower back tightness) is available to play on Friday vs. the Pelicans.

The Lakers are apparently going to list him as probable or questionable for every game, choosing to rest him here and there. This is a non back-to-back set so we're expecting Davis to be a full go vs. his former team.

Anthony Davis (lower back tightness) is questionable vs. the Pelicans on Friday.

Davis is trying his best to be listed on every injury report this season. He's fine, but the Lakers are going to rest him from time to time. This is a non back-to-back set, so we're expecting him to be a full go.

LeBron James (left ankle sprain) and Anthony Davis (back soreness) are questionable for Friday vs. the Pelicans.

At this point, we'll be more concerned when LeBron isn't on the injury report. Time and time again, the Lakers list him as questionable but he trots out there and dominates no matter what. He's yet to miss a game this season as he continues to hold off Father Time.

A. Davis - PF

LAL

Anthony Davis played despite minor back, toe and groin issues on Wednesday and had 18 points, seven rebounds, one assist and nothing else on 8-of-13 shooting in 25 minutes.

The good news is that he's been playing through all these annoying minor injuries and was able to go in tonight's second game of a back-to-back. He didn't do much, but should enjoy Thursday's day of rest and come back ready to explode against his former team, the Pelicans, on Friday. If there was ever a revenge-game scenario to look forward to from a fantasy perspective, it's this one. Hopefully he doesn't get too hyped up and lay an egg.

Lakers coach Frank Vogel said Anthony Davis will play on Wednesday vs. the Thunder.

Davis jammed his toe on Tuesday, but was on the injury report with back soreness. However, the Lakers are going to let him play, so he'll suit up for both games of the back-to-back for the first time this season.

Anthony Davis is questionable for Wednesday vs. the Thunder with back soreness.

This is a new "injury" which conveniently pops up before the second game of a back-to-back. Davis jammed his toe on Tuesday but there's no mention of it on the injury report. If he sits tonight, it will be out of precaution with the Lakers looking to keep him fresh for the playoffs.

Anthony Davis had a solid game on Tuesday, posting 19 points, 10 rebounds, two assists and five blocks in 29 minutes.

Davis jammed his toe and x-rays came back negative but he is considered questionable for Wednesday's game vs OKC. He only took eight shots, which was a season low, but made seven of them, including a 3-pointer, and all four of his free throws in the win. If he doesn't suit up, look for Kyle Kuzma or Markieff Morris to get the start with Kuz being the better fantasy option.

LAL

Anthony Davis is questionable to play against the Rockets on Tuesday due to a right adductor injury.

Davis sat out with the injury on Friday, but played through it on Sunday, and looked great. He scored 27 points and blocked three shots in 30 minutes. If Davis can't give it a go, look for Kyle Kuzma and Markieff Morris to pick up minutes.

LAL

Anthony Davis (groin) netted 27 points on 9-of-12 shooting (9-of-10 FT) Sunday, to go with four rebounds, one assist, three blocks and two turnovers across 30 minutes in a 120-102 win over Houston.

Davis missed Friday's game with a minor groin issue, but that didn't appear to bother him at all tonight, as he didn't miss a single shot through the first half of action going 8-of-8 from the field. AD called out the Lakers for their lackadaisical defensive effort in a blowout loss to the Spurs on Thursday, but L.A.'s defense was crisp in this one, as they held the Rockets to 6-of-22 shooting through the first quarter of play and finished the game with 32 fastbreak points. Davis didn't have any blocks through his first four games of the year, but he's averaging 3.0 per game over his past four outings.

J. Quick - G

Jonathan Quick made 40 saves in Saturday’s 4-3 OT loss to the Minnesota Wild.

Quick allowed four goals on 44 shots and finished the night with a .909 save percentage. After allowing a goal under 30 seconds into the start of the game, Quick regained composure and prevented any Minnesota goals for the remainder of the first and second period. Quick gave up two goals in the third, including a late buzzer beater by Ryan Suter that sent the game to overtime. During extra minutes, Quick was unable to to stop Marcus Johansson’s one-timer that sealed a back-to-back OT loss for the Kings. Quick kicks of the year with a 0-0-2 record.

G. Edwards - RB

BAL

Gus Edwards rushed 10 times for 42 yards in the Ravens' Division Round loss to the Bills.

Edwards was the Ravens' No. 2 back for the entire 2020 season. He earned the "power back" role over Mark Ingram in the second half of the season and could be brought back for a similar roster spot in 2021 as a restricted free agent. Despite the power back label, Edwards has impressive elusiveness for a 238-pounder. He averaged 5.0 yards on his 144 carries. Edwards will max out as a fantasy RB4 if the Baltimore backfield is Edwards and J.K. Dobbins in 2021 because he's not a receiving threat (9 receptions). Dobbins, who averaged 6.0 yards per carry as a rookie, is obviously the future of Baltimore's running back group.

J. Carter - F

Jeff Carter notched two assists in Saturday’s 4-3 OT loss to the Minnesota Wild.

Carter picked up another two points in this matchup to bring his season total up to four points in his first two games. This is the first time Carter has had back-to-back games with multiple points since 2018. Carter picked up an assist on Blake Lizotte’s goal about seven minutes into the second period and then got the only assist on a goal by Andreas Athenasiou just over three minutes later. Although the Kings had a 3-1 lead at one point, the Wild were able to come back and hand the Kings yet another 4-3 OT loss.

T. Huntley - QB

BAL

Tyler Huntley completed 6-of-13 passes for 60 yards in the Ravens' Division Round loss to the Bills.

Huntley entered the game in the fourth quarter after Lamar Jackson was ruled out with a concussion. They were his first NFL reps, and he obviously looked like a rookie. Huntley missed a wide-open deep target that would've made things interesting late. The undrafted free agent could be the Ravens' answer at backup quarterback moving forward given Robert Griffin's injury history. The Utah grad was somewhat of an analytics sleeper in NFL Draft circles.

N. Taylor - G

Playing out of the final threesome, second-round leader and World No. 135 Nick Taylor labored to a 2-under-par 34-34=68 in the third round of the Sony Open in Hawaii, falling eight spots to T9 on 14-under 196, four back of leader Brendan Steele (61).

After kicking off with 66 and career-low 62, the 31-year-old began with a 2-shot lead over four players. He hit eight (of 14) fairways and 13 greens in regulation, gaining 0.624 strokes off-the-tee but losing 1.038 approaching and 0.491 around-the-green. The University of Washington alum squared two bogey-5s at 13 and 16, slightly outpaced by four circles at 9, 10, 12 and 15 (from 13'3"). He registered 1.769 putts per GIR and -0.438 SG: Putting with 29 total putts. The Canadian is still within reach of a third TOUR victory in 176 events, first since last season's wire-to-wire triumph at the AT&T Pebble Beach 16 starts ago as the 54-hole leader by one. This is his first time in the top 10 after 54 holes since that win.

Cam Talbot made 30 saves in Saturday’s 4-3 OT win over the Los Angeles Kings.

Talbot allowed three goals on 33 shots and finished the night with a .909 save percentage. This marks back-to-back OT wins for Calbot against the Los Angeles Kings, and in both of these games Talbot made over 30 saves. After going down 3-1 after the second, Talbot was able to remain solid during the third and overtime to allow his team to comeback and seal yet another win to kick off their season with a 2-0-0 record.

X. Tillman - SF

MEM

Xavier Tillman had the best game of his rookie season on Saturday, scoring 15 points with four rebounds, two assists and four steals in 28 minutes.

The points, steals and minutes were all season highs for Tillman who got the most time off the bench for the Grizzlies in their win over the Sixers. He shot 7-of-13 from the floor, made a 3-pointer and his 15 points were the second most behind just Ja Morant (17 points). Tillman isn't necessarily a must-add player, but he's worth keeping an eye on for the time being.

T. Jones - PG

MEM

Tyus Jones played just 17 minutes on Saturday night, finishing with six points, one board, four assists and three steals.

Ja Morant was back for the Grizzlies, pushing Jones back to the bench as the secondary point guard. And though Jones had a decent game, he played less minutes than Desmond Bane (19) and Grayson Allen (26) who both provide something that Jones doesn't which is perimeter shooting. The two combined to make 5-of-7 triples while Jones went 0-of-2. It's safe to drop him and not look back.
