Kleber (knee) is questionable for Friday's game against the Kings.

Kleber has been listed as "questionable" the past two games due to a sore right knee, but he's been playing through it, so he feels a bit closer to probable. We should get another update on Kleber following Friday's shootaround.

Nurkic (ankle) is questionable for Friday's game in Oklahoma City, Gerald Bourguet of GoPHNX.com reports.

Nurkic missed Wednesday's game due to a sprained ankle, which resulted in Drew Eubanks drawing a spot start, and the latter finished with five points, four rebounds and an assist over 27 minutes. If Nurkic needs to miss another game, Eubanks would likely get another start, but he's not the most attractive target in fantasy hoops.

Gibson (hamstring) is out for Friday's game versus the Wizards.

Gibson's absence streak will extend to six games Friday due to a right hamstring strain. There is no timetable for the veteran big man's return.

Ayton (elbow) is questionable for Friday's game versus the Heat.

Ayton is in danger of missing his fifth straight contest Friday due to left elbow tendinitis. If Ayton is ruled out, Duop Reath would likely draw another start at center.

Tillman (knee) is available for Thursday's game versus the Hawks, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.

Tillman has been upgraded from questionable to available Thursday after missing Boston's previous contest due to left knee inflammation. With Al Horford (toe) out, Tillman could receive increased playing time.

Horford (toe) won't play in Thursday's game versus the Hawks, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.

Horford has been downgraded from questionable to out Thursday due to a sprained left big toe. Xavier Tillman and Luke Kornet are candidates to receive increased playing time in his absence. Horford's next chance to suit up is Saturday's matchup with the Pelicans.

Holmes (toe) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Pistons.

Holmes left Wednesday's loss to the Nets early due to a left toe contusion and will miss at least one additional contest. Marvin Bagley should start at center in Holmes' absence, but Tristan Vukcevic, Patrick Baldwin and Anthony Gill are also candidates for extra minutes.

Davis (knee) is questionable to play Friday against the Pacers.

Davis missed Wednesday's game in Memphis, which resulted in Jaxson Hayes drawing a spot start, and the latter finished with 14 points, seven rebounds, one assist, one steal, one block and one turnover across 30 minutes. If Davis is forced to miss another game, Hayes would make sense as a potential streaming option.

The Heat assigned Robinson to the G League's Sioux Falls Skyforce on Thursday, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Robinson will head back to the G League now that Kevin Love's (heel) return is imminent. Robinson should continue to receive increased playing time with Sioux Falls.

Okongwu (toe) won't play in Thursday's game versus the Celtics, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Okongwu's absence streak will extend to four games Thursday due to a left toe sprain. Bruno Fernando will likely continue to receive increased opportunities in his absence. Okongwu's next chance to suit up is Saturday's matchup with Milwaukee.
