NBA's official injury report 

Davis missed Saturday's win over the San Antonio Spurs in Texas, but on Nov. 26, ESPN's Dave McMenamin reported that he would likely return on Monday against the Pacers. 

McMenamin on Nov. 26: "Anthony Davis (left calf contusion) is expected to return to the lineup Monday vs. the Pacers, sources told ESPN."

The Lakers got off to a horrendous start to the season, but they are in the middle of a two-game winning streak and have gone 5-1 in their last six games. 

They are currently the 13th seed in the Western Conference with a 7-11 record in their first 18 games. 

The west has been tight, so they are only 5.5 games behind the Phoenix Suns for the first seed.

At home, they have a 5-5 record in ten games. 

As for the Pacers, they had been expected to be among the worst teams in the Eastern Conference, but they are 11-8 in their first 19 games, which has them as the fourth seed.

They are 7-3 in their last ten games and 4-4 in the eight games they have played on the road away from Indianapolis.

Right now, the Pacers look like a team who will make the postseason.
