Timberwolves' Rudy Gobert: Won't go Saturday
Gobert (hip) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Spurs.
Gobert was added to the injury report earlier in the day due to a bruised left hip, and he's since been downgraded to out. This should open up more minutes for Naz Reid and Joan Beringer in the frontcourt.

Pistons' Paul Reed: Available to play
Reed (personal) is available for Saturday's game versus the Pacers.
Reed missed Thursday's win over the Suns for personal reasons, but he's returned to the team and will be available for Saturday's game. However, with Jalen Duren and Isaiah Stewart healthy again, Reed will have a tough time getting into the rotation.

Trail Blazers' Yang Hansen: Returns to NBA club
Portland recalled Hansen from the G League's Rip City Remix on Saturday.
Hansen will be available to play Saturday against the Lakers after being recalled. He last appeared for the Blazers on Tuesday, logging three points and two rebounds in 13 minutes.

Isaiah Jackson C | LAC
Pacers' Isaiah Jackson: Available Saturday
Jackson (concussion) is available for Saturday's game against the Pistons, Tony East of Forbes.com reports.
Jackson missed Indiana's last 13 games due to a concussion, though he'll return to action in the second leg of this back-to-back set. The big man averaged 5.0 points and 6.1 rebounds across 15.1 minutes per tilt over nine outings in December, and he'll likely compete for playing time with Tony Bradley and Micah Potter behind Jay Huff.

Jaxson Hayes C | LAL
Lakers' Jaxson Hayes: Won't play Saturday
Hayes (hamstring) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against Portland.
Hayes will miss his third consecutive matchup due to left hamstring tendinopathy. Maxi Kleber and Drew Timme should be in line once again for more run, especially if Deandre Ayton (knee), who is currently questionably, isn't able to suit up.

Mavericks' Daniel Gafford: Ruled out with ankle sprain
Gafford is out for Saturday's game against the Jazz with a sprained right ankle, Mike Curtis of The Dallas Morning News reports.
After leaving Wednesday's loss to Denver, Gafford is now sidelined for a second straight contest. The Mavericks are expect to split the center minutes up between Dwight Powell and Moussa Cisse on Saturday, putting both big men in the streaming mix in deeper fantasy settings.

Rudy Gobert C | MIN
Timberwolves' Rudy Gobert: Questionable due to hip injury
Gobert is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Spurs due to a left hip contusion.
Gobert may have picked up the injury during the Timberwolves' 110-105 loss to the Rockets on Friday, when he played 32 minutes and finished with 10 points (4-7 FG, 2-10 FT), 13 rebounds, one assist, two blocks and two steals. Naz Reid would likely enter the Timberwolves' starting lineup if Gobert is unable to play.

Isaiah Jackson C | LAC
Pacers' Isaiah Jackson: Listed as questionable
Jackson (concussion) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Pistons.
Jackson has cleared each step of the league's concussion protocol, and he has a chance to make his first appearance since Dec. 22. Tony Bradley's minutes as the backup center behind Jay Huff would likely take a hit if Jackson is given the green light to play Saturday.

Paul Reed C | DET
Pistons' Paul Reed: On track to return Saturday
Reed (personal) has been upgraded from questionable to probable for Saturday's game against the Pacers.
Reed did not play in the Pistons' win over the Suns on Thursday due to personal reasons, but the sixth-year pro is trending toward returning Saturday from a one-game absence. He started in each of the Pistons' four games prior to his absence, although he would likely revert to a bench role due to the return of Jalen Duren.
