Davis, who is averaging 22.4 points, 9.1 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game, had missed only one other game this season, sitting out against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Dec. 27 because of a bruised calf.
Starting guard Kentavious Caldwell-Pope will be unavailable for the fourth consecutive game because of a sprained left ankle.
