Darrell Arthur was out, so Quincy Pondexter (8 points, two 3-pointers, 23 minutes), Davis and little used Jon Leuer all combined to pick up the slack off the bench tonight. Apr 10 - 12:10 AM

Ed Davis - F - Grizzlies

Ed Davis struggled to score vs. the Kings, finishing with two points on 0-of-4 FGs and 2-of-2 FTs, though he did chip in seven rebounds, one steal and two blocks in 18 minutes.

We expected better with Darrell Arthur (back) sidelined tonight, and Davis burned many owners who spot-started him. We'd be inclined to give Davis another shot if Arthur sits out on Tuesday, as the Grizzlies will face the Bobcats' generous defense.

Ed Davis notched an out-of-the-blue 12 points and 10 rebounds off the bench in Wednesday's road win in Portland.

He did his damage in 18 minutes against a Blazers team with minimal frontcourt depth, so don't read anything into it.

Ed Davis received a DNP-CD against the Knicks on Wednesday.

Yuck. It looked like Davis was going to take advantage of the Marc Gasol (abdomen) injury and now that Gasol is back, Lionel Hollins didn't play Davis even for a second. Owners in weekly leagues that started him will never look at the phrase "out indefinitely" the same again and Davis is back to having minuscule fantasy value.

Ed Davis scored nine points with seven boards on 3-of-4 shooting against the Wizards on Monday.

He started off with a bang on Saturday with five blocks against Boston and Monday's game was a mild disappointment. Davis is shooting 55 percent from the field this year and has 1.1 blocks per game in just 20.8 minutes, so he should be picked up in most fantasy leagues while Marc Gasol (abdomen) is on the shelf.

Ed Davis - F - Grizzlies

Starting at center for the short-handed Grizzlies, Ed Davis finished Saturday's game with 11 points, eight rebounds and a career-high five blocks, despite playing only 19 minutes.

Marc Gasol is dealing with a torn abdominal muscle, which leaves him out indefinitely and makes Davis a must-own fantasy option, with the assumption that his minutes will increase going forward. His splits in 27 starts this season give an idea of what to expect -- 12.5 points on 55.1 percent shooting, 7.7 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 0.6 steals, 1.1 blocks and only 1.3 turnovers in 31 minutes per game. Yes, his FT shooting is a concern (58.9 percent this season), but that's not enough to spoil his value.

Ed Davis returned to action (illness) on Monday and had two points, six boards and two blocks in 17 minutes.

He had a nice little bump in production early last week, but he has since cooled off considerably. He won't be worth owning while Zach Randolph (14 points and 10 boards) and Marc Gasol (16 points, eight boards, five assists and four steals) are healthy.

Ed Davis and Austin Daye were both feeling sick on Saturday, though both guys did play off the bench.

Davis had four points and five boards in 16 minutes, while Daye was scoreless in four minutes. Both guys should have recovered enough to play vs. the Wolves on Monday, but we'll list Davis as questionable as a precaution.

Ed Davis played just 11 minutes against the Nuggets on Friday and had four points, three boards, one steal and one block.

He was hot all of the sudden on Tuesday and he's gone cold just as quickly in his last two. It's obvious that he's got a one-way ticket to Cut City in most fantasy formats while Zach Randolph and Marc Gasol are healthy.

Ed Davis - F - Grizzlies

Ed Davis, who managed 14 points, nine rebounds and two blocks in 25 minutes in Zach Randolph's return on Tuesday, played just 14 minutes with two points and one rebound in Wednesday's win over the Clippers.

Maybe the fact he picked up four fouls limited his run, but this line shouldn't come as much of a surprise to Davis' owners. He was struggling to produce when Z-Bo was healthy, and while Tuesday's line showed some promise initially, chances are it was merely a fluke. If you recently picked up Davis, it might be time to keep trolling the wire and look for a player with a better chance at getting big minutes.

Ed Davis played 25 minutes and hit 6-of-9 shots for 14 points, nine rebounds, a steal and two blocks in 25 minutes of Tuesday's win over the Blazers, despite the return of Zach Randolph.

This was a very interesting night for Davis, who saw minutes at small forward, power forward and center tonight. It's unlikely that he'll be able to keep this going as long as Z-Bo is healthy, but tonight was encouraging. And given his strong play while Randolph was out, and the Grizzlies upcoming string of four-game weeks, Davis might be worth picking up if he was dropped in your league in case he keeps this going.

With Zach Randolph (ankle) still sidelined, Ed Davis started at PF vs. the Hornets and had 12 points, nine rebounds, one steal and five blocks in 30 minutes.

The Grizzlies have now won 12 of their past 13 games. The trade sending Rudy Gay to Toronto seems to have maintained their competitiveness this season while improving their depth and flexibility going forward, and Z-Bo's injury has allowed Davis to get some traction with his new team. His minutes will evaporate once Randolph is health, of course, so enjoy it while it lasts.

Ed Davis shot 6-of-11 from the field for 12 points with nine boards and one assist in 29 minutes against the Cavs on Friday.

This was what he was expected to do on Wednesday, but he put up a dud with only three points against the Blazers. Zach Randolph shouldn't be out much longer and Davis can be left on the wire in most leagues.

Ed Davis - F - Grizzlies

Ed Davis started for the injured Zach Randolph and had three points, six boards, one steal and two blocks in 25 minutes against the Blazers.

This was his chance to show Memphis they made a smart move in acquiring him in the Rudy Gay deal and he squandered it. Darrell Arthur (neck) was also out and there's really no reason to pick up Davis unless it's in a very deep league.

Ed Davis - F - Grizzlies

Ed Davis notched 10 points, 10 rebounds and three blocks vs. the Magic, taking advantage of Zach Randolph's absence with a sprained ankle.

The Raptors don't play again until Wednesday, but Davis would be a nice pickup if Z-Bo misses more games. As a reminder of his upside, consider his numbers in 24 starts with Toronto this season -- 12.9 points on 55.7 percent shooting, 7.7 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 0.6 steals and 1.0 blocks in 32 minutes per game.
