  • Heat's Orlando Robinson: Shows up on injury report

    Robinson is questionable for Sunday's game against Indiana due to lower back soreness.

    Robinson has been a healthy scratch for Miami's last three contests, so his absence is unlikely to impact the rotation if he's ultimately unavailable. Miami's rotation is otherwise fully healthy, including Tyler Herro (foot), who is set for his second game back Sunday.

  • Heat's Orlando Robinson: Back to NBA

    Miami recalled Robinson from the G League's Sioux Falls Skyforce on Saturday.

    Robinson struggled offensively during Sioux Falls' G League playoff loss to the Oklahoma City Blue on Friday, scoring only nine points (4-14 FG) while committing a team-high four turnovers. However, he made an impact defensively by totaling eight boards, two steals and a block. With the Skyforce's season now over, Robinson will likely serve as a depth option for the Heat over the final week of the regular season.

  • Clint Capela C | HOU

    Hawks' Clint Capela: Leads with 19-point double-double

    Capela finished with 19 points (5-6 FG, 9-12 FT), 12 rebounds, three assists and one steal across 30 minutes during Saturday's 142-110 loss to the Nuggets.

    Capela was surprisingly the highest scorer in the blowout loss, and the big man renewed a double-double streak after posting only six points in his last outing against Dallas. Capela's numbers have dropped in his 10th season, but he's still a productive member of the starting five. The Hawks will need excellent frontcourt support from Capela as they try to overtake the Bulls for ninth place in the Eastern Conference.

  • Clippers' Daniel Theis: Dealing with thumb sprain

    Theis is questionable for Sunday's game against Cleveland due to a left thumb sprain.

    Theis being added to Sunday's injury report in advance of the Clippers' 3:30 p.m. ET tipoff puts his status in jeopardy. Ivica Zubac and Mason Plumlee would split Theis' workload if he's unable to suit up, with Theis having logged 18 and 17 minutes in the Clippers' past two contests, respectively.

  • Paul Reed C | DET

    76ers' Paul Reed: Strong defensive effort in win

    Reed contributed six points (3-4 FG), five rebounds, five assists and four steals over 23 minutes during Saturday's 116-96 victory over the Grizzlies.

    Reed compiled four steals in the win, continuing to provide viable streaming value despite the return of Joel Embiid. While Reed's upside is limited now that the star center is back in the lineup, he should still be on the radar if you need defensive stats and rebounds.

  • Lakers' Anthony Davis: Fills stat sheet Saturday

    Davis had 22 points (7-11 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 7-9 FT), 13 rebounds, four assists, six blocks and three steals in 36 minutes during Saturday's 116-97 win over the Cavaliers.

    D'Angelo Russell led the Lakers in scoring, and LeBron James was an efficient playmaker, but Davis stood out on both ends of the court and delivered an impressive stat line across the board, filling out the stat sheet admirably and racking up at least three tallies in each of the five major categories. Davis is also on a stretch of nine straight double-doubles while recording multiple blocks five times in that span.

  • Cavaliers' Jarrett Allen: Records double-double

    Allen accumulated 12 points (6-12 FG), 12 rebounds, three assists and one steal in 34 minutes during Saturday's 116-97 loss to the Lakers.

    Allen logged another double-double as the talented big man was able to reward fantasy owners who trusted him in a difficult matchup against Anthony Davis. Allen was unable to deliver the same numbers he's been able to post in recent contests, but he at least recorded a double-double for the sixth time across his last 10 appearances.

  • Taj Gibson PF | MEM

    Pistons' Taj Gibson: Scores five points in return

    Gibson (hamstring) tallied five points (2-3 FG, 1-2 3Pt) in nine minutes off the bench in Saturday's 113-103 loss to the Nets.

    Making his return from the right hamstring strain that had sidelined him for each of the previous nine games, Gibson ended up being needed as a backup center while Detroit had only 10 players available. Assuming the Pistons get at least one of Jalen Duren (ankle), Tosan Evbuomwan (G League assignment) or Simone Fontecchio (toe) back in action for Tuesday's game in Philadelphia, Gibson will likely find himself outside of the rotation.

  • Nikola Jokic C | DEN

    Nuggets' Nikola Jokic: Available vs. Hawks

    Jokic (hip) is available to face the Hawks on Saturday, Vinny Benedetto of The Denver Gazette reports.

    Jokic was always expected to play Saturday, as the star big man and MVP candidate recently stated he's not interested in taking any rest in the final days of the regular season. Jokic enters this game with averages of 29.9 points, 12.9 rebounds, 8.0 assists and 1.2 steals per game over his last 10 appearances.

  • Jazz's Walker Kessler: Not playing vs. Warriors

    Kessler (nose) is out for Sunday's game against the Warriors, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

    Kessler suffered a nasal fracture in Tuesday's 129-113 loss to the Cavaliers and will miss his second straight contest. With top center John Collins (back) also out for a fourth straight game, third-stringer Omer Yurtseven is expected to draw another start.
