Likely to play against Phoenix
Davis is expected to play through his lingering foot injury Wednesday. The star big man is averaging 26.6 points, 13.2 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 2.4 blocks in 35.3 minutes across his last 10 appearances.

Grabs eight rebounds in bench role
Gabriel has fallen back below 30 minutes over the past two games with Anthony Davis making his return from a one-game respite for his lingering right foot injury, but the former has played well enough to maintain a role as the Lakers' top reserve in the frontcourt ahead of Rui Hachimura. Though he may continue to have some usefulness as a streamer for rebounds and defensive stats if he's able to maintain a 20-plus-minute role moving forward, Gabriel's contributions in other areas aren't strong enough to make him a roster-worthy player in 12-team category leagues.

Cracks 10 points in win
Brown hit double figures in scoring for the first time since March 7, but he barely met that threshold and did so while offering little else across the stat sheet. The Lakers seem to value him on the starting unit for his defense and spot-up shooting, but he'll likely struggle to crack 15 percent usage in most games while sharing the floor with the likes of Anthony Davis and D'Angelo Russell.
