Turner produced 14 points (5-11 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 10 rebounds, two blocks and one steal across 27 minutes during Wednesday's 123-114 win over the Pelicans.

The 27-year-old center produced his third double-double in the last four games and 12th of the season. Turner has found another gear in February, and over his last nine contests he's averaging 19.2 points, 8.1 boards, 1.4 assists, 1.2 blocks, 1.2 threes and 0.9 steals while shooting 57.9 percent from the floor.

Sabonis registered 13 points (5-14 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 10 rebounds, seven assists and one steal across 32 minutes during Wednesday's 117-96 loss to the Nuggets.

Sabonis shot poorly against Nikola Jokic and the defending champions, and he consequently finished with his lowest scoring output since Feb. 5. Nonetheless, the big man extended his streak of double-doubles to 41, and he leads the league with 21 triple-doubles on the campaign. Sabonis' lack of defensive stats and triples along with mediocre free-throw shooting ding him a bit in fantasy, but he's still among the top centers in the game and ranks behind only Jokic in terms of assist leaders in the frontcourt.

Jokic logged 14 points (5-9 FG, 4-4 FT), 14 rebounds, 11 assists, one block and three steals in 32 minutes during Wednesday's 117-96 win over the Kings.

Jokic didn't need to put on his scorer's hat Wednesday, as three of Denver's other four starters ended up taking more shots than him, and Jamal Murray put up 32 points to lead the squad. In fact, Jokic didn't even play in the fourth quarter, but he still managed to record his fourth straight triple-double. Remarkably, the big man has accomplished the feat before the start of the fourth period in each of those four contests. Per Harrison Wind of TheDNVR.com, he joins Russell Westbrook as the only players since 1997 to record a triple-double before the fourth quarter in four straight games.

Davis (illness/Achilles) will play in Wednesday's game against the Clippers, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.

Davis battled an illness earlier this week and was held out of practice Tuesday before nabbing a probable tag. Despite the issues, he'll suit up and hit the hardwood Wednesday for the first leg of a back-to-back set.

Theis will enter the first unit for Wednesday's game against the Lakers, Joey Linn of SI.com reports.

Theis will make his second start of the season Wednesday due to Ivica Zubac's (illness) absence. In his only other start of the campaign, Theis logged three points and four rebounds over 22 minutes.

Zubac (illness) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game versus the Lakers, Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Zubac has been downgraded from questionable to out Wednesday due to a non-COVID illness. Daniel Theis will start in his absence. Zubac's next chance to suit up is Friday's matchup with Washington.

Drummond will move into the starting lineup for Wednesday's matchup with Cleveland.

With Alex Caruso (hamstring) unavailable, the Bulls will opt to go big and bring Drummond into the first unit alongside Coby White, Ayo Dosunmu, DeMar DeRozan and Nikola Vucevic. Across nine starts this season, Drummond has compiled averages of 13.8 points, 17.0 rebounds, 1.2 steals and 1.7 blocks per contest on 55.2 percent shooting from the field and 48.6 percent at the stripe.

Nurkic (ankle) is listed as probable for Thursday's game versus the Rockets.

Nurkic is expected to suit up Thursday despite dealing with a nagging right ankle sprain. If he's upgraded to available, Nurkic should be able to handle his full workload.

Gobert (ankle) is good to go for Wednesday's game versus Memphis.

Gobert will power through an ankle issue and should be slated for his usual minutes, which diminishes the appeal of Naz Reid as a potential streaming option. Gobert managers can go ahead and get him active.

Robinson (back) is listed as probable for Thursday's game versus the Nuggets.

Robinson is expected to return to action Thursday after missing the Heat's previous three games with back spasms. If Kevin Love (heel) is ruled out, Robinson could see some playing time as a backup to Bam Adebayo in Miami's frontcourt.
