Analysis:

Davis has sat out the last three games after spraining his ankle last Thursday, but he is set to play Friday after avoiding any setbacks during Friday's shootaround. Davis was starting to come on prior to suffering the injury, but Jon Leuer has played well in his absence, so it remains to be seen how the two will split up the minutes behind Zach Randolph moving forward.
