Porter (ankle) has been upgraded to questionable ahead of Wednesday's tilt with Indiana.

Porter was listed as doubtful on the initial injury report, so he is trending in the right direction. However, he's not a large enough part of the rotation for his playing status to impact fantasy hoops.

Sharpe (knee) tallied six points (2-3 FG, 2-2 FT), four rebounds and one assist across nine minutes in Tuesday's 118-110 loss to the Celtics.

In his return from a 15-game absence due to a hyperextended left knee, Sharpe was a plus-3 during his time on the court and produced quality numbers, but he may not have a pathway to consistently see 15-plus minutes off the bench while the Nets have all of their key frontcourt options available. However, Sharpe is off the injury report for Wednesday's rematch with Boston and could face less of a challenge for the backup minutes behind starting center Nic Claxton, as Ben Simmons (knee) is resting for the second leg of a back-to-back set.

Davis (Achilles/hip) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game versus the Jazz.

Davis has only missed four games so far this season but continues to deal with nagging Achilles and hip injuries. If the Lakers opt to hold out the star big man for the second leg of their back-to-back Wednesday, Jaxson Hayes and Christian Wood should receive increased playing time.

Tillman (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Nets, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.

Tillman continues to deal with a knee injury and will be unable to suit up for his new team before the All-Star break. It's not yet clear when he'll be able to return to action.

Horford will miss Wednesday's game against the Nets due to a left big toe sprain, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.

This injury likely isn't something fantasy managers need to worry about going forward, as Horford doesn't play in both games of back-to-back sets to keep him fresh for the postseason. Kristaps Porzingis (back) has been removed from the injury report and will reclaim his starting center role.

Porzingis (back) isn't listed on Boston's injury report ahead of Wednesday's game against the Nets, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.

Porzingis missed Tuesday's win over Brooklyn to rest his back but will return to action for Wednesday's rematch. Al Horford (toe) and Xavier Tillman (knee) are both out, so Porzingis will likely need to play heavy minutes in Boston's frontcourt.

Adebayo ended Tuesday's 123-97 win over the Bucks with 16 points (8-14 FG), 12 rebounds, 11 assists and two steals in 31 minutes.

With each of Jimmy Butler (personal), Terry Rozier (knee) and Josh Richardson (shoulder) out of action, Adebayo stepped up with one of the best all-around games of the campaign. The triple-double was the big man's second of the season and seventh of his career. Adebayo has averaged 17.7 points, 10.8 boards, 4.0 assists, 1.3 steals and 0.7 blocks through six contests in February.

Carter closed with 22 points (9-14 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), six rebounds and one assist across 31 minutes during Tuesday's 127-113 loss to the Thunder.

The 24-year-old center produced at least 20 points for the first time since Jan. 26, and the third time this season. Since moving into the starting lineup 12 games ago, Carter is averaging 13.1 points, 6.7 boards, 1.6 assists and 1.3 threes while shooting 56.3 percent from the floor.

Porter is doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Pacers with a right ankle sprain.

The Raptors will likely play it safe with the All-Star break looming. Porter's expected absence probably won't affect the rotation much, as he's played a total of 21 minutes across three February appearances.

Turner is questionable for Wednesday's game against Toronto due to an illness.

Turner was a late addition to Wednesday's injury report, and it's unclear whether he'll be available for the Pacers' final game before the All-Star break. If he's sidelined, Isaiah Jackson and Pascal Siakam are candidates to see increased work.
