Davis returned to the lineup with a loss in Boston on Saturday after missing 20 games with the foot injury.

The Lakers will be without Patrick Beverley, who has left knee pain, and Austin Reaves (left hamstring), who will miss his 14th straight game.

The Lakers, 23-28 and 2½ games from postseason position, continue their five-game journey Thursday against the Indiana Pacers and Saturday against the New Orleans Pelicans.
