Adebayo is questionable for Wednesday's game against Cleveland due to a lower back contusion.

Adebayo suffered his lower back contusion last Wednesday against the Nuggets, and he's dealing with pain and swelling ahead of the team's game against Cleveland, so he'll be a late addition to Miami's injury report. Kevin Love (heel) remains out Wednesday, so Thomas Bryant, Nikola Jovic (hamstring), Caleb Martin and Haywood Highsmith are candidates to see additional minutes if Adebayo is sidelined.

Jokic ended with 35 points (14-22 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 4-6 FT), 16 rebounds and two assists across 38 minutes during Tuesday's 115-112 victory over the Timberwolves.

With Karl-Anthony Towns (knee), Rudy Gobert (ribs) and Naz Reid (head) all out for the Timberwolves, Jokic was able to dominate the frontcourt. Kyle Anderson assumed the task of defending Jokic, and he was no match for the MVP favorite. Jokic missed the double-double milestone earlier in the week but is ready to ignite another double-double streak after two excellent results.

Marjanovic registered five points (1-1 FG, 3-3 FT) across two minutes during Tuesday's 137-114 win over the Wizards.

Marjanovic played two minutes of garbage time in the win, cracking the rotation for just the second time in the past 20 games. While it is always good to see him out on the floor, he holds absolutely no fantasy value, even in the deepest of formats.

Gobert (ribs) won't play in Tuesday's game versus the Nuggets.

Gobert will miss his third straight game Tuesday after being downgraded from questionable to out due to a left rib sprain. With Naz Reid (head) and Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) also out, Luka Garza is likely in store for increased playing time. Gobert's next chance to suit up is Friday's matchup with Cleveland.

Clarke (Achilles) won't play in Wednesday's game versus the Warriors.

Despite Clarke logging practices in the G League, he has yet to suit up this season while dealing with a left Achilles injury. Clarke's next chance to suit up is Friday's matchup with the Spurs.

Bol is probable for Wednesday's game versus the 76ers with a right ankle sprain, Kellan Olson of ArizonaSports.com reports.

This is a new issue for Bol, though it could explain his lack of playing time in recent games. Over his last two outings, Bol played a combined 13 minutes. His status for Wednesday won't carry many fantasy implications.

Reid (head) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against Denver, Tim MacMahon of ESPN.com reports.

Reid will join Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) on the sideline while Rudy Gobert (ribs) remains questionable, leaving Minnesota compromised in the frontcourt. Luka Garza will likely remain in a fringe rotation role regardless of Gobert's status, while Kyle Anderson appears locked into a 30-plus minute workload and could see some run as a small-ball center if Gobert can't go.

Jones (hamstring) won't play for Wednesday's game against Phoenix.

Since signing a 10-day deal with the 76ers on March 15, Jones has yet to make his 76ers debut. He'll now miss his second straight game due to a right hamstring strain.

Collins (face/head) is questionable for Wednesday's game against Oklahoma City, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Collins was a limited participant at Tuesday's practice, so he appears to be dealing with a relatively minor contusion. Lauri Markkanen (quad/rest) will be absent from Utah's frontcourt Wednesday, so Collins' potential absence would be especially detrimental for the Jazz.

Gibson is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game versus the Pacers due to right hamstring soreness.

Gibson has made just one appearance for Detroit since signing with the team on March 6. However, the absence of Isaiah Stewart (hamstring) could open up minutes for the veteran Gibson if he's able to suit up.
