Davis is probable for Wednesday's game against the Clippers due to bilateral Achilles tendinopathy, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.

This is the usual probable tag that Davis carries, but he's also dealing with an illness, which forced him to miss practice Tuesday. For now, fantasy managers can expect the big man to suit up against the Clippers, though he may not be at 100 percent.

Gobert (ankle) is available and in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game versus San Antonio.

Gobert has been upgraded from questionable to available after missing Minnesota's previous contest with a left ankle sprain. The defensive stalwart is averaging 15.2 points, 13.7 rebounds, 1.9 blocks and 1.3 assists in 34.7 minutes across his last 10 appearances.

Sarr logged 21 points (7-11 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 18 rebounds, two steals, two assists and a block in 34 minutes during Oklahoma City's 120-101 win over Austin on Friday.

Sarr had a very productive effort on Friday, leading the way with 18 rebounds. He was an integral part of the team offensively, scoring 21 points and recording seven offensive rebounds.

Sims is in the starting five for Tuesday's game versus the Pelicans, Fred Katz of The Athletic reports.

Sims will replace Isaiah Hartenstein (Achilles) in the starting lineup Tuesday. Sims is averaging 4.0 points, 5.4 rebounds and 1.0 blocks in 24.6 minutes across his last five starting appearances.

Gobert (ankle) is a game-time decision for Tuesday's game against San Antonio, Jon Krawczynski of The Athletic reports.

Gobert's status is pivotal for Minnesota, with Karl-Anthony Towns inactive while tending to a personal matter. Naz Reid could be in line for a sizable workload, while Victor Wembanyama could be in store for a feeding frenzy if Gobert is unable to suit up.

Hartenstein (Achilles) will not play Tuesday versus the Pelicans, Steve Popper of Newsday reports.

With Hartenstein sitting out, Precious Achiuwa will log heavy minutes, while Jericho Sims should factor considerably into the center rotation as well.

Bitadze won't start Tuesday's game against the Nets.

Paolo Banchero (illness) remains out for a second straight game, but the Magic are switching up their first five after starting Bitadze and Wendell Carter in the frontcourt during Sunday's loss to Atlanta. Gary Harris and Caleb Houstan are the new additions to the starting lineup, while Bitadze and Anthony Black will operate off the bench.

Poeltl (ankle) is questionable to play Wednesday versus Dallas, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.

Poeltl not immediately being ruled out for Wednesday's game is a good sign after he was unable to return to Monday's contest due to a left ankle sprain. That being said, his status will need to be monitored. Kelly Olynyk would likely step into a featured role in the frontcourt if Poeltl can't suit up.

Robinson (back) will not play Tuesday versus Portland.

Robinson will miss his third consecutive game due to back spasms. His next opportunity to take the court comes Thursday versus Denver.

Muscala is averaging 3.5 points, 2.2 rebounds and 0.8 assists since being traded from the Wizards on Jan. 14.

Muscala averaged 12.1 minutes per game in January, filling in at both center and forward with Detroit's depth in shambles. However, with the acquisition of Simone Fontecchio from the Jazz at the deadline, Muscala has been restricted to backup center minutes. The 32-year-old is expected to see another decline with Isaiah Stewart (ankle) set to make his return soon coupled with more playing time devoted to James Wiseman (averaging 16.3 minutes per game in February).
