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.

Hayes will not play Tuesday against the Hawks due to left hamstring soreness.

Hayes does not have a strain, and it's possible the Lakers are exercising caution for the second leg of this back-to-back set. With Hayes out, Deandre Ayton could have a higher floor, and Jarred Vanderbilt could see more run for the Lakers.

Zubac recorded nine points (4-6 FG, 1-2 FT), 11 rebounds and two assists across 27 minutes during Monday's 117-109 victory over Charlotte.

Zubac fell one board short of a double-double Monday. The 28-year-old center's minutes have stabilized after he recently returned from a sprained ankle, as Zubac has logged at least 25 minutes in five consecutive outings. For the month, Zubac has averaged 11.2 points, 8.7 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1.0 blocks per contest in six appearances.

Allen ended with eight points (3-7 FG, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, three assists and one steal in 32 minutes during Monday's 123-112 loss to Utah.

While the workload was encouraging, this was a mild effort from Allen, and that's been the case a lot this season. Across 29 appearances this season, Allen's numbers have been down with averages of 13.7 points, 7.9 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 1.0 steals and 0.7 blocks in 26.5 minutes per contest.

Davis is likely to undergo surgery to repair ligament damage in his left hand and miss several months, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

Davis was already set to be out for an extended period of time, and it now sounds like he's facing a multi-month absence. Charania notes that the Mavericks could still move the star big man to a playoff contender ahead of the trade deadline, which could impact his return timetable down the stretch. With Davis sidelined for the foreseeable future, Daniel Gafford (ankle) is lined up as Dallas' top center when available.

Ayton logged 13 points (4-7 FG, 5-8 FT), 13 rebounds, one assist and two blocks in 27 minutes during Monday's 124-112 loss to the Kings.

Although Los Angeles was unable to win, Ayton bounced back from his quiet performance Friday against Milwaukee. Ayton's production has been rather inconsistent recently, and he is averaging 10.5 points, 8.2 rebounds, 1.0 assists, 0.5 steals and 1.3 blocks across 28.5 minutes through six games in January.

Powell notched five points (2-2 FG, 1-2 FT), 10 rebounds and three assists over 35 minutes during Monday's 113-105 win over the Nets.

Powell was elevated to the starting lineup due to the absences of Anthony Davis (finger) and Daniel Gafford (ankle). Powell ended up playing 35 minutes, his most in a game since Nov. 29 (another spot start). With Davis sidelined indefinitely and Gafford still questionable, Powell may be forced to start again Wednesday against Denver.

Claxton ended with 13 points (6-9 FG, 1-2 FT), six rebounds, five assists and three blocks over 25 minutes during Monday's 113-105 loss to the Mavericks.

The 26-year-old center continues to make an impact at the rim. Claxton has recorded multiple blocks in three of four games since rejoining the Nets after dealing with a personal matter in early January, and since the beginning of December, he's averaging 12.6 points, 7.8 boards, 4.4 assists, 1.4 blocks and 0.8 steals over his last 16 contests.

Sharpe logged 14 points (4-7 FG, 6-6 FT), 12 rebounds and one block over 23 minutes off the bench during Monday's 113-105 loss to the Mavericks.

It was the fifth-year center's second double-double of the season, with the other coming Oct. 27. Sharpe has been busy on the defensive end in January, and over the last six games (three starts), he's averaging 10.7 points, 9.3 boards, 2.7 assists, 1.5 steals and 0.8 blocks in 25.5 minutes while shooting 55.6 percent from the floor.

Nurkic had 11 points (4-9 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 17 rebounds, three assists, two blocks and three steals in 30 minutes during Monday's 123-112 victory over the Cavaliers.

The 17 boards tied his season high, as Nurkic recorded his 11th double-double of the campaign in his return from a two-game absence due to a toe injury. Six of those double-doubles have come in his last 10 appearances dating back to Dec. 12, a stretch in which the veteran center is averaging 15.4 points, 11.7 rebounds, 5.6 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.1 threes while shooting 59.4 percent from the floor and a stunning 61.1 percent (11-for-18) from beyond the arc.
