  • Suns' Mark Williams: Upgraded to available

    Williams (knee) is available for Saturday's game against the Pelicans.

    Williams posted 24 points (9-13 FG, 6-8 FT), 13 rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals across 27 minutes in Friday's win over New Orleans. Even though injury management initially made him questionable for this contest, the big man should suit up and handle his regular workload. He's averaging 12.8 points, 5.6 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.3 steals per game since the beginning of December.

  • Jock Landale C | ATL

    Grizzlies' Jock Landale: Iffy for Sunday

    Landale (calf) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Wizards.

    Landale is in jeopardy of missing his second consecutive contest due to right calf soreness. If the big man is ultimately ruled out, Christian Koloko could see significant playing time once again. Over his last five outings (one start), Landale has averaged 12.2 points, 8.0 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1.0 blocks in 25.6 minutes per contest.

  • Goga Bitadze C | ORL

    Magic's Goga Bitadze: Out vs. Denver

    Bitadze (knee) is out for Saturday's game against the Nuggets.

    Bitadze will miss a third straight game while dealing with a strained left knee, meaning Jonathan Isaac will continue to see more minutes in the frontcourt. Bitadze's next chance to play will come against the Raptors on Monday.

  • Mavericks' Daniel Gafford: Starting sans Davis

    Gafford will start against the Kings on Saturday, Mike Curtis of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    With Anthony Davis (adductor) sidelined, Gafford will step back into a starting role. In 13 starts so far this season, the big man has averaged 9.4 points, 6.2 rebounds, 1.6 blocks, 1.5 assists and 1.0 steals in 23.0 minutes per tilt.

  • Mavericks' Anthony Davis: Won't play Saturday

    Davis (adductor) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Kings, NBA reporter Marc Stein reports.

    After exiting Thursday's loss to Golden State and not returning, Davis will miss Saturday's contest due to right adductor soreness. The star big man can be considered questionable ahead of Monday's game against Portland. With Davis unavailable, Daniel Gafford will get the starting nod at center, while Dwight Powell and Moussa Cisse are candidates to enter the rotation.

  • Jakob Poeltl C | TOR

    Raptors' Jakob Poeltl: Missing third straight game

    Poeltl (back) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Warriors.

    Poeltl will miss his third straight game due to a lower back strain. Though the Raptors have been updating Poeltl's status on a game-by-game basis, it wouldn't be surprising if he missed additional time beyond Sunday, given that his back has been a recurring problem for him throughout the season. With Poeltl sidelined Sunday, Sandro Mamukelashvili will likely remain in the starting five, while Collin Murray-Boyles (illness) could see increased burn if he's cleared to play.

  • Kel'el Ware C | MIA

    Heat's Kel'el Ware: Probable Saturday

    Ware (quadriceps) is listed as probable for Saturday's game against the Pacers.

    Ware was not included on the Heat's initial injury report but is now listed as probable due to a right quadriceps contusion. Still, the second-year center is likely to suit up in the second leg of the team's back-to-back set. He has started five consecutive contests, racking up four double-doubles over that stretch.

  • Suns' Mark Williams: Questionable to face New Orleans

    Williams (knee) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against New Orleans.

    Williams is in jeopardy of missing the second leg of Phoenix's back-to-back set against New Orleans due to right knee injury management. During Friday's win over the Pelicans, the big man posted 24 points (9-13 FG, 6-8 FT), 13 rebounds, two assists, two steals and one block across 27 minutes. If he's held out of Saturday's contest, Oso Ighodaro will likely step into the starting lineup, while Nick Richards and Khaman Maluach are candidates to enter the rotation.

  • Pacers' Isaiah Jackson: Won't go vs. Miami

    Jackson (concussion) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Heat.

    Jackson will miss his third straight game due to a concussion, and his next opportunity to suit up will come Monday against the Rockets. Tony Bradley and Micah Potter are candidates for increased playing time behind Jay Huff with Jackson sidelined.

  • Bam Adebayo PF | MIA

    Heat's Bam Adebayo: Remaining out Saturday

    Adebayo (back) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Pacers.

    Adebayo will miss his second consecutive contest due to soreness in his lower back, and his next chance to play will come Monday against the Nuggets. With the big man sidelined, Kel'el Ware (quadriceps) and Nikola Jovic are candidates for increased playing time.
