Leading forward Anthony Davis is listed as day-to-day, but we are expecting him to play on Friday. He emerged from Wednesday’s defeat to the Milwaukee Bucks with a bruised thigh, but those around the team have suggested that Davis should be fine to play. Over the past six games, Davis is averaging 25.0 points, 10.5 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 2.0 blocks and 1.5 steals in 37.5 minutes.
Dennis Schroder, in the meanwhile, is also questionable for Friday’s matchup because of a sprained left ankle, according to Tim Bontemps of ESPN.com reports. Schroder, who has been filling in for Brown in the starting five, has averaged 22.5 points, 3.7 rebounds and 3.7 assists over the past six games.
