Kleber (toe, nose) is doubtful for Wednesday's game versus Toronto.

Wednesday's game is the second leg of a back-to-back set, and it appears the veteran will get the night off to rest his various injuries. Derrick Jones and P.J. Washington could see a slight uptick in minutes as a result.

The Hornets released Bolden on Wednesday.

Bolden signed a 10-day contract with the Hornets on Feb. 20, but he'll be let go before the deal expires after Charlotte signed Aleksej Pokusevski to fill the 15th and final spot on the roster. Bolden was held scoreless with one rebound in five minutes during his lone appearance with the Hornets.

Vucevic closed Tuesday's 105-95 loss to Detroit with 25 points (12-23 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 0-1 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists and one block across 37 minutes.

Vucevic has recorded three straight double-doubles, and the veteran big man has now reached that feat in eight of his last 10 appearances. Vucevic has embraced the uptick of offensive touches with Zach LaVine (foot) out, and the numbers back that up. He's averaging 21.8 points, 11.2 rebounds and 2.7 assists per game since the beginning of February.

Duren amassed 14 points (5-9 FG, 4-4 FT), 10 rebounds, five assists, three blocks and one steal across 31 minutes during Tuesday's 105-95 victory over the Bulls.

Duren has recorded a double-double in each of Detroit's four games following the All-Star break, and even though the Pistons will ultimately go as far as Cade Cunningham can carry them, the solid two-way play of Duren has also been one of the team's brightest spots this season. Duren is averaging 14.0 points and 12.7 rebounds per game across 11 February appearances while posting eight double-doubles in that stretch.

Porzingis totaled 23 points (5-12 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 12-12 FT), 12 rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 31 minutes during Tuesday's 117-99 victory over the 76ers.

Porzingis made his presence felt on both ends of the court en route to posting his third double-double over his last 10 appearances. Even though he has the length to be an absolute menace on the boards, Porzingis can thrive in other areas as well, and he's been outstanding as a scorer in recent weeks, hitting the 20-point threshold in six of his last eight contests. He might hold a secondary role on offense behind Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown on most nights, but Porzingis is getting the most out of his touches on a nightly basis.

Poeltl, who's listed as questionable due to an ankle injury, was active during Toronto's morning shootaround ahead of Wednesday's game versus Dallas, Aaron Rose of SI.com reports.

Poeltl left Monday's win over Indiana early after spraining his left ankle, but he appears to be trending in the right direction ahead of Wednesday's contest. His official availability will likely be a game-time decision.

Sengun amassed 23 points (8-13 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 7-12 FT), 11 rebounds, six assists, two blocks and two steals across 36 minutes during Tuesday's 112-95 loss to the Thunder.

Lines like this have become the norm for Sengun this season. He's been a sixth-round fantasy value in nine-category leagues so far, posting averages of 21.1 points, 9.2 rebounds, 4.9 assists, 1.1 steals and 0.8 blocks.

Wagner accumulated 16 points (4-7 FG, 8-9 FT), five rebounds, two assists and one steal over 19 minutes during Tuesday's 108-81 win over the Nets.

Wagner has carved out a consistent bench role this season, and he's making the most of his opportunities as Wendell Carter's primary backup. Known for his scoring prowess, Wagner has been on a roll of late, scoring in double digits in all but one of his last six appearances despite averaging a mere 16.8 minutes per game in that span.

Wembanyama totaled 17 points (5-13 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 5-5 FT), 13 rebounds, five assists, four blocks and two steals over 34 minutes during Tuesday's 114-105 loss to Minnesota.

Wembanyama led all Spurs players in rebounds and blocks while handing out a handful of assists and finishing as one of six players with a double-digit point total en route to a double-double outing. Wembanyama has posted a double-double in seven of his last 10 games and recorded four or more blocks in four straight contests.

Reid posted 22 points (8-10 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 5-5 FT), six rebounds, one assist, one block and two steals over 33 minutes during Tuesday's 114-105 victory over the Spurs.

With Karl-Anthony Towns (personal reasons) inactive, Reid saw extended time off the bench, leading all reserves in scoring and rebounds while ending as one of two Timberwolves players with 20 or more points in a winning effort. Reid has surpassed the 20-point mark in six games this season, adding five or more boards in five of those contests. All of those performances were off the bench for Reid, who has been one of the top producers on the second unit for Minnesota this year.
