  • Clint Capela C | HOU

    Rockets' Clint Capela: Draws start Saturday

    Capela will start Saturday's game against the Mavericks, Vanessa Richardson of Space City Home Network reports.

    Alperen Sengun is out with an illness, while Steven Adams is getting the night off for maintenance. Capela is a strong streaming option for fantasy managers in need of rebounds, blocks and field-goal percentage against the Mavericks.

  • Mavericks' Daniel Gafford: Won't play Saturday

    Gafford (ankle) will not play Saturday against the Rockets, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.

    Gafford was previously listed as doubtful, so this isn't a surprise. With the big man joining Dereck Lively (foot) on the shelf, the Mavericks could rely on Moussa Cisse and Dwight Powell in the short term.

  • Trail Blazers' Donovan Clingan: Listed as questionable

    Clingan (leg) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Grizzlies, Sean Highkin of Rip City Radio 620 Portland reports.

    Clingan remains day-to-day after missing Friday's game against Detroit. If the big man is unable to suit up, the Trail Blazers could again rely on Robert Williams and Duop Reath to fill the void at center.

  • Joel Embiid C | PHI

    76ers' Joel Embiid: Listed as questionable

    Embiid (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Lakers.

    Embiid missed Friday's win over the Bucks for the second leg of a back-to-back set, but the star big man will be a regular on the injury report as he continues to battle soreness in his knees. If Embiid is unable to suit up, Andre Drummond is likely to absorb the bulk of the center minutes Sunday.

  • Zach Collins C | CHI

    Bulls' Zach Collins: Probable for Sunday

    Collins (wrist) is listed as probable for Sunday's matchup versus the Warriors.

    Collins made his regular-season debut in Friday's loss to Indiana after undergoing wrist surgery in mid-October. He's likely to suit up for a second consecutive contest after posting eight points (3-5 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds and one assist in 21 minutes Friday.

  • Knicks' Karl-Anthony Towns: Iffy for Sunday

    Towns is questionable for Sunday's game against Orlando with left calf tightness.

    This is a new injury for Towns, but the questionable tag suggests that he's going to be day-to-day moving forward. In Towns' most recent game against the Jazz on Friday, the star big man was limited to 22 minutes with 18 points, nine rebounds, four assists and one steal. If he misses Sunday's game, the Knicks could rely more on Mitchell Robinson and Guerschon Yabusele.

  • Yves Missi C | NO

    Pelicans' Yves Missi: Available to play

    Missi (foot/ankle) is available for Saturday's game in Brooklyn.

    Missi is back after a two-game stint on the sidelines, and he should see meaningful minutes Saturday with Zion Williamson (thigh) out. Missi's return could result in fewer minutes for Karlo Matkovic.

  • Mavericks' Daniel Gafford: Doubtful Saturday

    Gafford (ankle) is doubtful to play Saturday versus the Rockets.

    Gafford is on track to miss his second straight game after aggravating his ankle injury during Wednesday's win over the Heat. Dwight Powell and Moussa Cisse will likely continue to pick up the slack in Gafford's potential absence.

  • Mavericks' Anthony Davis: Not listed on injury report

    Davis is not listed on the injury report ahead of Saturday's game against the Rockets.

    Davis said after Friday's loss that he planned to play Saturday, and with him not even listed on the injury report, it appears he's been cleared for the second leg of this back-to-back set. The star big man will be looking to bounce back from a lackluster performance in Friday's loss to the Thunder, during which he was held to just two points on 1-of-9 shooting.

  • Steven Adams C | HOU

    Rockets' Steven Adams: Ruled out Saturday

    Adams is out for Saturday's game in Dallas due to right ankle tendinopathy.

    Alperen Sengun (illness) is doubtful for Saturday's game, so Clint Capela could be headed for a spot start, while Jeff Green could see meaningful minutes in the rotation. Adams' next chance to play will come Thursday against the Clippers.
