Ayton is questionable to return to Tuesday's game against the Nuggets due to a left eye injury, Daniel Starkand of LakersNation.com reports.

Ayton was hit in the eye late in the second quarter and did not start the second half. If the big man isn't cleared to return, Jaxson Hayes and Drew Timme will likely pick up the slack the rest of the way.

Ayton did not start the second half of Tuesday's game against the Nuggets due to an apparent facial injury, Thuc Nhi Nguyen of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Ayton appeared to take a hit to the face in the second quarter and has yet to leave the locker room. If the big man is unable to return, Jaxson Hayes and Drew Timme are candidates for increased burn the rest of the way.

Lopez contributed zero points (0-3 FG, 0-2 3Pt), one rebound and three blocks across 14 minutes during Tuesday's 138-110 loss to the Bulls.

Lopez added three blocks in the loss, although that's really where the good news ends. With Ivica Zubac now healthy, Lopez is playing a modest role off the bench, providing no value outside of the shot-blocking. At best, he can be considered for streaming purposes, although even that might be a stretch at this point.

Sengun supplied 20 points (7-13 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 5-5 FT), 13 rebounds, nine assists and two blocks across 34 minutes in Tuesday's 111-106 win over the Spurs.

Sengun turned in a well-rounded performance, securing his fourth double-double over his last five outings. The star big man finished as Houston's second-leading scorer and reached the 20-point mark for a third straight game. Furthermore, he led all players in rebounds and assists while making his presence felt on the defensive end. Sengun tied the game high in swats and has recorded a block in six consecutive contests.

Reid will come off the bench for Tuesday's game in Utah.

Rudy Gobert is back in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game, so Reid will retreat to the second unit. As a reserve this season, Reid has posted averages of 14.8 points, 6.4 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 2.5 triples per contest.

Ware (hamstring) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game in Sacramento.

Ware is dealing with some tightness in his hamstring, so the Heat will err on the side of caution with their second-year center on the second leg of a back-to-back set. His absence will open up minutes for Nikola Jovic. For now, Ware should be considered questionable for Thursday's game in Portland.

Drummond is in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Suns, per Ky Carlin of USA Today.

Joel Embiid (ankle) is receiving a maintenance day Tuesday, allowing Drummond to enter the first unit. Drummond makes sense as a plug-and-play fantasy option, as he's averaging 9.0 points, 10.9 rebounds, 1.1 assists and 0.8 blocks in 26.6 minutes per tilt across 15 starts this season.

Rockets head coach Ime Udoka said Tuesday that Adams has been diagnosed with a Grade 3 left ankle sprain and will be out indefinitely, Vanessa Richardson of Space City Home Network reports.

Though Adams avoided any fractures to his ankle after he was forced out of Sunday's 119-110 win over the Pelicans, he's dealing with a significant sprain that will keep him out for an extended period. The Rockets likely won't provide a target date for Adams' return until he resumes on-court work, but Jeff Stotts of InStreetClothes.com notes that NBA players historically require at least two months to recover from Grade 3 ankle sprains. With Adams sidelined for the foreseeable future, the Rockets are likely to incorporate Clint Capela into the rotation on a more regular basis as the top backup to starting center Alperen Sengun. In 32 appearances (11 starts) so far this season, Adams has averaged 5.8 points and 8.6 rebounds across 22.8 minutes per tilt.

Aldama is questionable for Wednesday's game versus the Hawks due to right knee soreness.

We'll have a better idea on Aldama's status following Wednesday's shootaround, but if he's unable to give it a go, that would open up minutes for John Konchar, Vince Williams and GG Jackson. Check back closer to Wednesday's tip for official word on Aldama's status.

Turner is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Thunder due to a sprained left ankle.

The ankle injury is a new concern for Turner, who has missed just one game this season. If the veteran center isn't cleared to play Wednesday, Bobby Portis would likely get the starting nod, while Pete Nance and Jericho Sims could see increased playing time. Turner has averaged 10.3 points and 4.7 rebounds across 25.3 minutes per tilt in seven January appearances thus far.
