Anthony Davis (head) expected to be available Friday for Lakers
Los Angeles Lakers forward/center Anthony Davis (head) is expected to be available for Game 6 on Friday, reports Chris Haynes of Turner Sports.
What It Means:
Davis was hit in the head by an elbow in the fourth quarter and had to leave the game early. He was carted out of the arena in a wheelchair, but it sounds like Davis will be able to play on Friday. Rui Hachimura, Wenyen Gabriel, and Jarred Vanderbilt will likely be asked to take on larger roles if Davis suffers a setback. LeBron James could also be asked to log some minutes down low if Davis is limited or unavailable.
numberFire's models project Davis for 38.7 minutes and 52.3 FanDuel points in Game 6 on Friday. He's averaging 1.39 FanDuel points per minute against the Warriors in the second round.
