  • Clint Capela C | HOU

    Rockets' Clint Capela: Non-factor in win

    Capela had two points (1-1 FG) and two rebounds across five minutes during Tuesday's 119-113 victory over the Bulls.

    With Steven Adams and Alperen Sengun now healthy, Capela's role has disappeared, having played no more than 12 minutes in four straight games. He is the clear third option at this point, meaning he can be safely ignored in just about every fantasy format.

  • Spurs' Victor Wembanyama: Nets 17 points with seven boards

    Wembanyama contributed 17 points (7-15 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-6 FT), seven rebounds, one assist, one block and one turnover across 28 minutes during Tuesday's 119-98 loss to the Thunder.

    Wembanyama got a bit banged up during Tuesday's loss, first with a knee-to-knee collision with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, and later by rolling his ankle coming down awkwardly on Jaylin Williams' foot after a jumper, but neither issue required a trip to the locker room. He may pop up on the injury report ahead of Thursday's game against the Bucks, though.

  • Rockets' Alperen Sengun: Dishes 11 dimes in Tuesday's win

    Sengun logged 23 points (10-18 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 11 assists, seven rebounds and one block over 36 minutes during the Rockets' 119-113 win over the Bulls on Tuesday.

    Sengun finished tied with Amen Thompson as the Rockets' second-leading scorer behind Kevin Durant (28 points), and Sengun's 11 dimes were his most in a game since Dec. 1 against the Jazz (14). The fifth-year center has played 35-plus minutes in each of the two games since returning from a three-game absence due to an ankle injury, so it appears he has fully recovered from that issue. Sengun is averaging 21.7 points, 8.9 rebounds, 6.6 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.0 blocks over 34.4 minutes per game this season.

  • Ivica Zubac C | IND

    Clippers' Ivica Zubac: Dealing with ankle injury

    Zubac is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Wizards due to a left ankle sprain, NBA writer Justin Russo reports.

    Per Russo, Zubac did not play during the final 14 minutes of the Clippers' win over the Hornets on Monday and was seen favoring his left ankle in the locker room following the game. Brook Lopez, John Collins and Yanic Konan Niederhauser would be in line for more minutes if Zubac is unable to play Wednesday.

  • Naz Reid C | MIN

    Timberwolves' Naz Reid: Starting Tuesday

    Reid is part of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against Milwaukee.

    Reid will make his first start of the campaign, filing in for the suspended Rudy Gobert. In games during which Reid has played 30 or more minutes this season, he's averaging 16.3 points, 7.1 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 1.6 steals across 10 games.

  • Mavericks' Anthony Davis: Won't have surgery, out six weeks

    A second opinion revealed Davis (finger) won't require surgery, and he'll be re-evaluated in six weeks, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

    Early indications were that Davis would go under the knife and miss multiple months. However, a second opinion was enough to convince Davis to rehab without a procedure. Still, he'll be sidelined for at least six weeks. meaning he likely won't be back until at least early March. Daniel Gafford, Dwight Powell and Moussa Cisse will handle center duties while Davis is sidelined.

  • Myles Turner C | MIL

    Bucks' Myles Turner: Downgraded to out

    Turner (illness) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against Minnesota.

    Turner has been dealing with an illness recently, and the issue will prevent him from suiting up Tuesday. His absence likely means Bobby Portis and Jericho Sims will see more playing time, while Giannis Antetokounmpo could see more action at the center spot. Turner's next chance to play will come Thursday against San Antonio.

  • Mavericks' Daniel Gafford: Not on injury report

    Gafford (ankle) is available for Wednesday's game against Denver.

    Gafford will return from a one-game absence due to a sprained right ankle. The 27-year-old will likely take his spot in the starting lineup back from Dwight Powell. In 19 starts this season, Gafford is averaging 9.2 points, 7.0 rebounds and 1.5 blocks across 23.1 minutes.

  • Jakob Poeltl C | TOR

    Raptors' Jakob Poeltl: Listed as out for Wednesday

    Poeltl is out for Wednesday's game against Indiana due to a lower-back strain.

    Poeltl has been cleared for contact for over one week now, but the Raptors aren't yet ready to give him the green light for game action. Rookie first-rounder Collin Murray-Boyles has started six contests in a row amid Poeltl's absence, and the former should remain a very appealing streaming choice for Wednesday.

  • Joel Embiid C | PHI

    76ers' Joel Embiid: Probable for Wednesday

    Embiid (knee/adductor) is probable to play Wednesday versus the Cavs, Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com reports.

    Embiid returned from a one-game absence in Monday's win over the Raptors and finished with 27 points (9-17 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 8-8 FT), eight rebounds, four assists and two steals across 36 minutes. Managers can expect to get official confirmation on Embiid's status closer to the game's 7 p.m. ET tipoff.
