Capela notched 19 points (9-13 FG, 1-2 FT), 14 rebounds and one block over 28 minutes in Sunday's 126-125 win over Toronto

Capela led all players in Sunday's contest in rebounds while ending as one of five Hawks with 15 or more points in a double-double showcase. Capela has tallied a double-double in 20 games this season, including in four straight outings.

Bamba (knee) isn't listed on the injury report ahead of Monday's matchup against Portland.

Bamba has missed the last seven games due to right knee inflammation, but he will be available Monday. If Joel Embiid (knee) is forced to miss a second straight game, Bamba could see some run at center behind Paul Reed, who would presumably draw another start.

Embiid (knee) is listed as questionable ahead of Monday's game against the Trail Blazers.

Embiid missed Saturday's game due to left knee soreness and finds his status up in the air again for Monday. If he is unable to go, Paul Reed figures to be the main beneficiary while Nicolas Batum and Marcus Morris could see expanded roles as well.

Jokic amassed 26 points (8-16 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 10-16 FT), 16 rebounds, seven assists and two steals over 37 minutes during Saturday's 111-105 victory over the 76ers.

Jokic led all players in Saturday's contest in rebounds while handing out a team-high-tying assist total and leading all 76ers in scoring in a balanced performance. Jokic has hauled in 15 or more rebounds in 10 games this season while tallying at least 25 points, 10 rebounds and five assists in seven of his last 10 outings.

Adebayo closed with 12 points (6-10 FG), 13 rebounds and one assist over 33 minutes during Saturday's 125-109 loss to the Knicks.

Adebayo led all players in Saturday's contest in rebounds while ending as the lone Heat player with a double-digit rebound mark along with a double-double. Adebayo has hauled in 13 or more rebounds in nine games this season while posting a double-double in three of his last four outings.

Powell (eye) is questionable to play Monday versus Orlando.

Powell is dealing with a scratched cornea in his left eye. He has missed three consecutive games due to the injury, although Dereck Lively and Maxi Kleber (toe) were developing a firm grasp on center minutes prior to Powell's affliction.

Kornet is doubtful for Monday's game against the Pelicans due to left hamstring tightness, Marc D'Amico of the Celtics' official site reports.

Kornet will miss at least one game after leaving Saturday's loss to the Clippers due to left hamstring tightness. His next chance to suit up will come Tuesday versus Indiana.

Porzingis (ankle) is questionable for Monday's game against the Pelicans, Marc D'Amico of the Celtics' official site reports.

Porzingis tweaked his ankle Thursday versus the Heat and was sidelined for Saturday's loss to the Clippers. Al Horford (neck) would usually be the primary beneficiary for an increased role in Porzingis' absence, but the veteran is also questionable, while Luke Kornet (hamstring) is doubtful, so it's unclear what Boston's frontcourt will look like versus New Orleans.

Horford is questionable for Monday's game against the Pelicans due to a left neck sprain, Marc D'Amico of the Celtics' official site reports.

Horford normally sits out at least one game during a back-to-back set, so it wouldn't be surprising to see him sidelined Monday versus New Orleans or Tuesday versus Indiana. Luke Kornet (hamstring) is doubtful and Kristaps Porzingis (ankle) is questionable, so Boston's frontcourt is in danger of being extremely shorthanded versus Zion Williamson and Jonas Valanciunas.

Eubanks will start Sunday's game against the Magic, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.

With Jusuf Nurkic (thumb) out, Eubanks will draw his first start since Christmas Day. However, Eubanks has played more than 22 minutes just one time this season, so Chimezie Metu, Keita Bates-Diop and Udoka Azubuike are also candidates for increased playing time in Nurkic's absence.
