UPDATE: Davis has been ruled out.

Anthony Davis ($10,500) has been dealing with plantar fasciitis in the left foot all season, yet he’s only missed two games. On Friday, he was probable coming into the night, but less than an hour before tipoff, the Lakers downgraded Davis to questionable.

If Davis is unable to go, then Jaxson Hayes ($3,200) would likely get the starting nod.

With Davis off the court this season, Max Christie ($4,500) has seen a 9.1-percentage point usage rate bump in 156 minutes, while Austin Reaves ($8,000) saw a 5.83-percentage point increase in 179 minutes. LeBron James ($9,500) has a 33.33% usage rate without Davis on the court.

Stan joined DraftKings in December of 2020. It was a glorious time, except for that whole COVID thing, when we got Madden streams and boisterous bat flips from the KBO. I was brought on board to bring some West Coast flavor. I especially love hoops, and most of my content is in that arena. When I walk along the beach, strumming my guitar, the beat that I hear is not one of crashing waves. No, it is the beat of the ball bouncing off the hardwood with highs provided by the squeaks of the sneakers. Ball is life.
