Reed amassed eight points (4-6 FG), 12 rebounds, one assist and three blocks over 31 minutes during Friday's 104-97 victory over the Cavaliers.

Making his 10th straight start in the absence of Joel Embiid (knee), Reed ripped down double-digit boards for the fourth time, although only two of those turned into double-doubles. During his stint in the Sixers' starting five, the fourth-year center is averaging 8.2 points, 8.5 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.3 blocks in 27.0 minutes a game, as his increased role hasn't resulted in solid fantasy utility in shallower fantasy formats.

Allen racked up a team-high 24 points (10-16 FG, 4-8 FT), nine rebounds and one block in 36 minutes during Friday's 104-97 loss to the 76ers.

It was the 25-year-old center's best scoring performance since Feb. 3, when he dropped 26 points on the Spurs, but Allen saw his five-game double-double streak narrowly come to an end. In 10 February contests, he's averaging 17.9 points, 10.5 boards, 1.8 assists and 1.3 blocks while shooting 62.2 percent from the floor.

Poeltl totaled 12 points (6-13 FG), 13 rebounds, six assists and two blocks across 26 minutes during Friday's 123-121 win over the Hawks.

It was the 28-year-old center's 18th double-double of the season and fifth in the last nine games, while the six assists tied his season high. Poeltl is averaging 13.1 points, 10.2 boards, 2.4 assists and 2.1 blocks during that nine-game stretch while shooting 59.8 percent from the floor.

Gobert said after Friday's 112-107 loss to the Bucks that he sprained his ankle during the contest, but he expects to be fine, Jace Frederick of St. Paul Pioneer Press reports. He played 38 minutes in the loss, finishing with 12 points (6-8 FG, 0-1 FT), 19 rebounds, two blocks and one assist.

If Gobert was limited at all by the sprained ankle, it wasn't apparent in his minutes or production, but he should still be viewed as day-to-day heading into Saturday's game against the Nets. Gobert has played in all but one of the Timberwolves' 56 games this season.

Bryant was ejected from Friday's game versus the Pelicans with 11:19 remaining in the fourth quarter.

Bryant didn't touch the floor for Miami on Friday, but he got into it on the sidelines with Jose Alvarado. Punches were thrown by both players, so a suspension could be on the table. Bryant has been completely out of the rotation since January.

Davis (Achilles) will play in Friday's game versus the Spurs, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.

Davis originally drew a questionable designation for Friday's game due to bilateral Achilles tendinopathy and a left hip spasm, but it appears the star big man will play through it. Look for him to assume his usual responsibilities assuming he avoids any setbacks.

Fernando will return to a reserve role in Friday's game versus the Raptors, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Fernando started at center in the Hawks' previous game with Clint Capela (adductor) sidelined. However, the latter is slated to return to the starting lineup, thus resulting in Fernando moving back to his usual role off the bench.

Capela (adductor) is officially starting at center in Friday's matchup with the Raptors, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Capela is set to return to the court following a six-game absence that led into the All-Star break. The 29-year-old will replace Bruno Fernando in the starting lineup. However, given how long he has been sidelined, the big man is expected to be on a minutes restriction, per Lauren L. Williams of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

Eubanks is in the starting lineup for Friday's game versus the Rockets, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.

Eubanks will replace Jusuf Nurkic (ankle) in the starting five Friday. Eubanks is averaging 2.7 points, 5.7 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 1.0 steals in 20.3 minutes across his last three starting appearances.

Robinson (back) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Pelicans, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.

Robinson was a late addition to the injury report with back spasms and will ultimately be sidelined. However, his absence shouldn't impact Miami's rotation.
