Williams (knee) is available for Tuesday's game against the 76ers, Amanda Pflugrad of 3TV Phoenix reports.

After posting 16 points (5-6 FG, 6-8 FT), eight rebounds, three blocks and two steals over 29 minutes during Monday's win over the Nets, Williams will shed his questionable tag and suit up in the second leg of this back-to-back set. The fourth-year big man has appeared in all 10 of the Suns' games so far this month, averaging 11.3 points, 8.4 rebounds and 1.5 blocks in 24.5 minutes per game over that stretch.

Sharpe is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Knicks with an illness, per Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com.

After sitting out Monday's loss to the Suns, Sharpe is at risk of missing consecutive outings with the ailment. Nic Claxton would likely take on all the playing time he can handle if Sharpe ends up being sidelined once again, while Danny Wolf would be set to play the backup center role Wednesday.

Ware is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Kings due to right hamstring tightness, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Ware is in danger of missing the second half of a back-to-back set after posting 15 points (7-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt), four rebounds and two assists across 18 minutes during Monday's 135-112 loss to the Warriors. If the second-year big man is ultimately unable to suit up, the Heat would depend heavily upon Bam Adebayo at center Tuesday. Nikola Jovic could also see an expanded role in this case.

Horford (toe) will not play Tuesday against the Raptors.

Horford is not cleared for back-to-back sets, so this is an expected update from Golden State after the veteran posted 10 points (4-9 FG, 2-7 3Pt), eight rebounds, two assists and one steal across 19 minutes during Monday's 135-112 victory over the Heat. Draymond Green (ankle) is listed as questionable, so the Warriors could be shorthanded in the frontcourt after losing Jimmy Butler (knee) for the season.

Claxton produced 12 points (6-8 FG), eight rebounds, six assists and one block across 37 minutes during Monday's 126-117 loss to the Suns.

With Day'Ron Sharpe sitting out with an illness, the Nets leaned heavily on Claxton at center Monday. Claxton continues to provide solid fantasy value in all formats, averaging 10.2 points, 6.9 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 1.4 blocks in 27.7 minutes per contest in nine games this month while shooting 60.0 percent from the field.

Reid (shoulder) will play in Tuesday's game against the Jazz, Dane Moore of 'The Dane Moore NBA Podcast' reports.

The 26-year-old big man is good to go after suffering a left shoulder injury in Saturday's loss to San Antonio. Over nine games in January, Reid has averaged 16.3 points, 5.7 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 1.0 blocks and 0.8 steals in 24.3 minutes per contest.

Kornet produced seven points (3-4 FG, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds, four assists, three blocks and one steal across 22 minutes during Monday's 123-110 victory over the Jazz.

Even though Kornet's fantasy value is taking a hit with Victor Wembanyama back in the starting lineup, the former is hanging on to relevance in a reserve role. Over his last five contests, Kornet has averaged 7.8 points, 7.4 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 1.2 blocks and 1.0 steals in 20.9 minutes per game.

Queta finished with 10 points (1-2 FG, 8-10 FT), eight rebounds, one assist, one block and three steals in 28 minutes during Monday's 104-103 loss to the Pistons.

Queta continues to churn out solid fantasy numbers as Boston's starting center. Across 40 regular-season appearances, he's currently returning eighth-round value in nine-category formats with 10.2 points, 8.2 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.2 blocks in 24.8 minutes per contest.

Ware ended Monday's 135-112 loss to the Warriors with 15 points (7-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt), four rebounds and two assists across 18 minutes.

While Monday was an efficient showing, Ware's fantasy ceiling remains capped by the presence of Bam Adebayo at center. Ware has come off the bench in six consecutive games, failing to log at least 20 minutes in any contest, though his upside is high enough that he remains worth rostering in most leagues.

Towns posted 22 points (9-19 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-4 FT), 18 rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal over 30 minutes during Monday's 114-97 loss to the Mavericks.

Towns was a bright spot for the Knicks in an otherwise brutal showing for the team. He's been playing at a top-50 valuation in nine-category formats over his last seven outings, posting averages of 18.6 points, 12.4 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 1.3 steals, 0.9 blocks and 1.6 three-pointers.
