New York recalled Hukporti from the G League's Westchester Knicks on Saturday.

Hukporti is back with the parent team after recording 12 points, four rebounds, three assists and two blocks over 25 minutes Saturday in the G League Westchester Knicks' loss to the Noblesville Boom. The second-year center is unlikely to see meaningful action Sunday against the Warriors now that Karl-Anthony Towns has recovered from a knee issue.

Turner is questionable for Sunday's game against the Pacers due to right patella tendonitis.

Turner posted eight points, six rebounds and three assists in 24 minutes during Saturday's loss to the Hawks and is in danger of missing the second night of Milwaukee's back-to-back set, which would be his first absence since Feb. 20. With Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf), Bobby Portis (back) and Ousmane Dieng (illness) also questionable, Jericho Sims, Pete Nance and Kyle Kuzma could be candidates for heavy workloads Sunday.

Raynaud logged 23 points (11-12 FG, 1-3 FT), five rebounds and two assists across 30 minutes during Saturday's 118-109 victory over the Clippers.

Raynaud missed only one of his 12 shot attempts during the victory, and he also did an admirable job of keeping the Clippers' interior players in check. Brook Lopez failed to make a basket, and backup Isaiah Jackson managed only six points. Although he has a lower profile than fellow rookies Cooper Flagg and Kon Knueppel, Raynaud has climbed into contention for the ROY crown thanks to a slew of double-doubles and superb totals as the team's uncontested starter.

Jokic racked up 24 points (10-19 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 16 rebounds, 14 assists, one block and five steals in 43 minutes during Saturday's 127-125 overtime loss to the Lakers.

Jokic extended his triple-double streak to four games after another loaded line, but his impressive efforts weren't enough to lift the Nuggets to victory in a tough road matchup. Jokic has six triple-doubles and five double-doubles across 13 games since the All-Star break, and he remains the league's most dominant all-around contributor in fantasy. He's up to 27 triple-doubles on the year, leading the league in that category by a wide margin.

Ware ended with 13 points (5-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist, two blocks and one steal in 27 minutes during Saturday's 121-117 loss to the Magic.

Ware was efficient from the floor and showed impressive energy on the glass en route to posting his first double-double since March 5. He has four double-doubles over his last seven games and has grabbed double-digit boards five times during that stretch. The second-year big man is an excellent option in both point-based and category-based formats due to his ability to fill the stat sheet with ease.

Carter produced 15 points (5-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), eight rebounds and two assists over 35 minutes during Saturday's 121-117 victory over the Heat.

Carter ended just two rebounds shy of posting what would've been his third consecutive double-double. The big man continues to find ways to produce on the offensive end for the Magic, and it would be fair to say he's been performing as the team's third-best option behind the duo of Paolo Banchero and Desmond Bane with Franz Wagner (ankle) and Anthony Black (abdomen) out. Carter has scored in double figures in eight of his last 10 games, reaching the 15-point mark six times in that span.

Queta chipped in 24 points (11-13 FG, 2-3 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal in 31 minutes during Saturday's 111-100 victory over Washington.

Queta did most of his damage in the first half, scoring 22 of his 24 points in the opening two quarters. Although he slowed in the second half, it was still a productive night, with Queta recording his first double-double in more than a week. Despite his limited offensive showing this season, Queta has been a solid standard-league asset, putting up top-85 value through 63 games.

Wembanyama chipped in 32 points (13-24 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 12 rebounds, eight assists, four blocks and two steals over 31 minutes during Saturday's 115-102 win over Charlotte.

Wembanyama returned after a one-game absence as a result of a minor ankle concern, dominating on both ends of the floor yet again. The third-year phenom continues to string together an array of personal highlights and has been the best player in fantasy over the past month. In 12 games during that span, he has averaged 24.2 points, 11.4 rebounds, 3.7 assists, 1.3 steals, 4.2 blocks and 2.5 three-pointers while shooting 49.5 percent from the field and 82.5 percent from the charity stripe.

Zubac (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bucks.

Zubac appeared in each of Indiana's last two outings following a 15-game absence due to a left ankle sprain, though he could be held out of Sunday's game in Milwaukee. If the big man isn't cleared to play, Jay Huff and Micah Potter would likely operate in expanded roles.

Carlson (back) is out for Sunday's game against the Timberwolves.

Carlson will miss an eighth consecutive game due to a back strain. He doesn't have a concrete date to return to action, but the big man has a minor role in the rotation, so his absence shouldn't affect many fantasy decisions. His next chance to play will come Tuesday against the Magic.
