Zubac (ankle) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Kings.

Zubac has yet to make his Pacers debut due to a sprained left ankle and remains without a definitive timetable for a return. He should be considered doubtful for future contests until Indiana offers an update on his progress.

Plumlee (reconditioning) is questionable for Tuesday's game against Boston.

Plumlee has yet to make his debut with San Antonio while ramping up his conditioning after undergoing right groin surgery in late December, though a questionable tag gives him a chance to be available Tuesday. Even if active, playing time may be difficult to come by for the veteran big man, as Luke Kornet and Kelly Olynyk loom as the primary backup centers behind Victor Wembanyama.

Poeltl is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Rockets due to illness.

Poeltl's availability for Tuesday is in jeopardy after he turned in a solid double-double Sunday against Dallas. The team should have a better idea of his availability closer to tipoff. Sandro Mamukelashvili would be in line for the start at center if Poeltl can't go.

Ware is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Wizards due to a right shoulder strain.

It's a new injury for Ware, who hasn't missed a game since Jan. 25. If the second-year big man cannot suit up Tuesday, more playing time would be available for Myron Gardner and Jaime Jaquez.

Robinson is out for Monday's game against the Clippers due to left ankle injury management.

The Knicks are holding Robinson out of action for the second leg of their back-to-back set. New York should lean heavily on Karl-Anthony Towns at center in Robinson's absence, while Ariel Hukporti should take over as the No. 2 big man Monday.

Duren contributed 24 points (10-12 FG, 4-5 FT), five rebounds, one assist and one block over 26 minutes during Sunday's 121-110 loss to the Heat.

Duren's career-best season continued Sunday despite the Pistons dropping this contest. Across 53 regular-season appearances, Duren is averaging 18.5 points, 10.7 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 0.9 steals and 0.8 blocks in 27.9 minutes per contest.

Poeltl finished with 16 points (8-9 FG), 10 rebounds, four assists, two blocks and one steal across 30 minutes during Sunday's 122-92 win over the Mavericks.

Poeltl is seemingly turning a corner with his back issue and is trending up in fantasy hoops. Over his last five games, he's been a second-round value in nine-category leagues with averages of 13.4 points, 8.2 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.6 blocks in 28.8 minutes per contest.

Allen is out for Monday's game against the 76ers with right knee tendonitis.

Allen is missing a second consecutive contest, and it's unclear if the star big man has resumed practicing. Evan Mobley will likely start at center again, while Sam Merrill and Jaylon Tyson should both play an expanded role in Allen's absence, making both players worthy of streaming consideration in most fantasy leagues.

Wagner recorded three points (0-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-4 FT) and nine rebounds over 18 minutes during Sunday's 130-91 win over the Bucks.

Wagner continues to play a minor role off the Orlando bench. Across 23 appearances, he's averaging 13.1 minutes per contest with 8.3 points, 3.4 rebounds and 0.9 assists on 45.3 percent shooting from the field.

Queen amassed 13 points (5-9 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, five assists and one block across 25 minutes during Sunday's 138-118 win over Washington.

Queen has been a volatile fantasy asset lately, but Sunday's game was a step in the right direction. Over his last eight outings, the rookie has seen 21.1 minutes per contest with 9.0 points, 5.5 rebounds, 2.9 assists and 0.8 blocks on 39.7 percent shooting from the field.
