Gobert (ribs) won't play in Tuesday's game versus the Nuggets.

Gobert will miss his third straight game Tuesday after being downgraded from questionable to out due to a left rib sprain. With Naz Reid (head) and Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) also out, Luka Garza is likely in store for increased playing time. Gobert's next chance to suit up is Friday's matchup with Cleveland.

Clarke (Achilles) won't play in Wednesday's game versus the Warriors.

Despite Clarke logging practices in the G League, he has yet to suit up this season while dealing with a left Achilles injury. Clarke's next chance to suit up is Friday's matchup with the Spurs.

Bol is probable for Wednesday's game versus the 76ers with a right ankle sprain, Kellan Olson of ArizonaSports.com reports.

This is a new issue for Bol, though it could explain his lack of playing time in recent games. Over his last two outings, Bol played a combined 13 minutes. His status for Wednesday won't carry many fantasy implications.

Reid (head) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against Denver, Tim MacMahon of ESPN.com reports.

Reid will join Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) on the sideline while Rudy Gobert (ribs) remains questionable, leaving Minnesota compromised in the frontcourt. Luka Garza will likely remain in a fringe rotation role regardless of Gobert's status, while Kyle Anderson appears locked into a 30-plus minute workload and could see some run as a small-ball center if Gobert can't go.

Jones (hamstring) won't play for Wednesday's game against Phoenix.

Since signing a 10-day deal with the 76ers on March 15, Jones has yet to make his 76ers debut. He'll now miss his second straight game due to a right hamstring strain.

Collins (face/head) is questionable for Wednesday's game against Oklahoma City, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Collins was a limited participant at Tuesday's practice, so he appears to be dealing with a relatively minor contusion. Lauri Markkanen (quad/rest) will be absent from Utah's frontcourt Wednesday, so Collins' potential absence would be especially detrimental for the Jazz.

Gibson is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game versus the Pacers due to right hamstring soreness.

Gibson has made just one appearance for Detroit since signing with the team on March 6. However, the absence of Isaiah Stewart (hamstring) could open up minutes for the veteran Gibson if he's able to suit up.

Horford (toe/rest) isn't listed on Boston's injury report ahead of Wednesday's game against the Bucks.

Horford was in street clothes for Monday's win over the Pistons, which was the second night of a back-to-back set, but he'll return to action for Wednesday's showdown. Kristaps Porzingis is slated to play again, so Horford should operate off the bench. As a reserve (29 games), Horford has averaged 6.6 points, 6.2 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 0.9 blocks in 23.2 minutes per game.

Hayes contributed seven points (3-4 FG, 1-2 FT), three rebounds and one block over 17 minutes during Monday's 136-105 win over the Hawks.

Hayes is having one of his best months in March, shooting 73.9 percent with averages of 5.5 points and 4.6 rebounds in 15.6 minutes. From the beginning of the 2023-24 campaign to February, Hayes averaged 3.1 points and 1.8 rebounds in 10.0 minutes per game, only seeing a substantial uptick in minutes when Anthony Davis was briefly sidelined. Expect the 23-year-old to continue receiving valuable playing time behind Davis moving forward.

Gobert (ribs) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against Denver.

Naz Reid (head) and Anthony Edwards (finger) are also considered questionable. Gobert has been sidelined the past two games, but he remains day-to-day. Kyle Anderson, Luka Garza and Jaden McDaniels are candidates to see more minutes if Gobert sits again.
