While Davis and James have been mostly healthy this year, that's not something that the team can count on moving forward. They are looking around the trade deadline for options to help them hedge against some injuries.

The Lakers have been making calls, so it remains to be seen if they end up making a move for a star or if they add around the fringes. The Dorian Finney-Smith trade helped add to their defense, but they need a more offensive-minded player with D'Angelo Russell gone.

As long as Davis and James are on the court at the same time, they have a chance to win a lot of games. Keeping them healthy is going to be the key to the rest of the season.

Davis is averaging 25.7 points, 11.9 rebounds, and 3.5 assists per game this season.
