Jokic (hip) is probable for Wednesday's game against the Timberwolves, Alan Horton of the Timberwolves Radio Network reports.

Jokic continues to deal with left hip inflammation, but he's been able to suit up despite the issue. He'll likely be available once again in the second half of a back-to-back set. Over his last eight appearances, he's averaged 29.3 points, 13.5 rebounds and 9.1 assists in 36.0 minutes per game.

Wembanyama has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Thunder due to right ankle injury management, Andrew Lopez of ESPN.com reports.

Wembanyama will take a seat for the second half of the Spurs' back-to-back set after posting 18 points, seven rebounds, six assists and seven blocks in 31 minutes during Tuesday's win in Memphis. The rookie superstar has only two more chances to play this season -- Friday versus Denver and Sunday against Detroit.

Zubac is questionable for Wednesday's game against Phoenix due to left ankle inflammation, Shane Young of Forbes.com reports.

Zubac has posted double-doubles in six consecutive appearances, averaging 15.2 points and 12.0 rebounds in 29.3 minutes per game. He hasn't missed a game since the beginning of March, but it's unclear whether he'll be available in the second half of a back-to-back set. If he sits out, Daniel Theis, Mason Plumlee and P.J. Tucker could see additional minutes.

Kleber (back) is probable for Wednesday against the Heat.

Wednesday's game is the second leg of a back-to-back set and Kleber's back spasms are still a mild concern, but the Mavericks anticipate that the forward will suit up. Kleber is averaging 6.5 points, 4.8 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.3 blocks in four April outings.

Okongwu (toe) is listed as out for Wednesday's game against the Hornets.

Okongwu hasn't played since March 21 after he aggravated his left big toe sprain. He had been scheduled for a re-evaluation earlier this week, but the Hawks have yet to provide an update on his status.

Boucher (knee) won't play Wednesday against the Nets, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.

Boucher will miss his 16th consecutive game Wednesday while he continues to recover from the partial MCL tear in his right knee. The Raptors haven't indicated that Boucher has resumed on-court work, so he'll most likely miss the team's remaining two games of the season after Wednesday.

Jemison racked up 14 points (6-14 FG, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal across 30 minutes during Tuesday's 102-87 loss to the Spurs.

Jemison had yet another strong showing for a Memphis team ravaged by injuries. Through four appearances in April, Jemison has compiled averages of 10.8 points, 8.3 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.5 blocks in 28.5 minutes.

Gafford posted 26 points (12-12 FG, 2-4 FT), seven rebounds, one assist, two blocks and one steal over 25 minutes during Tuesday's 130-104 win over Charlotte.

Gafford matched his career-best mark with 26 points on the night. He's been remarkably efficient, hitting 79.7 percent of his shots over his last 10 appearances. He's also on pace to be one of six players in NBA history to shoot over 70 percent for the entire season.

Gobert posted 19 points (5-9 FG, 9-13 FT), 16 rebounds, three assists, four blocks and two steals across 38 minutes during Tuesday's 130-121 victory over the Wizards.

Gobert was impressive on both ends of the court and filled the stat sheet admirably, racking up two or more tallies in each of the five major categories while also notching his eighth double-double over his last nine outings. He has 52 double-doubles on the season.

Capela amassed six points (3-8 FG), 11 rebounds and two assists over 37 minutes during Tuesday's 117-111 double-overtime loss to Miami.

Capela didn't have a good shooting performance and was particularly inefficient from the field but salvaged his fantasy outing by recording double-digit boards for the fifth straight contest -- and for the 15th time over his last 17 appearances. Capela is averaging 12.5 points and 11.9 rebounds per game during that 17-game stretch, and he should remain a capable two-way threat for Atlanta even if he has an off night from a scoring perspective from time to time.
