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.

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.

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.

Sengun (illness) is doubtful for Saturday's game in Dallas.

Steven Adams, who started Friday's game, has already been ruled out Saturday with an ankle injury, so Clint Capela could potentially be looking at major minutes and a starting role versus the Mavericks. Check back for official confirmation on Sengun's status closer to tipoff.

Dante (concussion) will remain on the inactive list for Saturday's game versus Washington, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Dante is currently going through the league's concussion protocol, and he will not be cleared to return until he passes a series of tests. He's a negligible part of the Hawks' rotation, though, so his absence from the active roster won't impact fantasy leagues.

Porzingis (rest) won't suit up for Saturday's game versus the Wizards, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Porzingis will return to the sidelines for rest purposes on the second leg of a back-to-back set Saturday, which should open up some more minutes for Mouhamed Gueye. Porzingis' next chance to return to action will come Friday against the Pistons.

Holmgren closed Friday's 132-111 win over the Mavericks with 15 points (6-11 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, one assist and one block in 23 minutes.

Holmgren and teammate Jalen Williams posted nearly identical box scores as each finished with 15 points and eight rebounds. Oklahoma City separated from Dallas in the third quarter, which limited his output. It's been a while since Holmgren tallied a double-double. After collecting three in the first four games of the year, the Gonzaga product's lone other double-double was back on Nov. 11.

Duren closed Friday's 122-116 victory over Portland with 18 points (6-11 FG, 6-9 FT), eight rebounds and one block over 27 minutes.

Duren was limited by foul trouble in this one, struggled at the line and set a new season high in turnovers with six, but the Pistons were still able to get the win. Duren will look to bounce back with a more robust statistical performance Saturday against the Bucks.

Williams totaled eight points (4-8 FG, 0-2 3Pt), 14 rebounds, one assist and five blocks in 30 minutes during Friday's 122-116 loss to the Pistons.

With Donovan Clingan (leg) unavailable for Friday's game, Williams earned a spot-start and set new season highs in minutes, rebounds and blocks. If Clingan needs to miss Sunday's game in Memphis as well, Williams would make sense as a streaming target in fantasy leagues.

Turner registered 19 points (4-9 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 8-12 FT), two rebounds, two assists and one block in 23 minutes during Friday's 116-101 loss to the 76ers.

The long-time Pacer has made a relatively smooth transition to the Bucks this season, filling Brook Lopez's old role as a stretch big. Turner's rebounding numbers have taken a hit as a result -- he hasn't pulled down more than three boards in five straight games -- but he's averaging 2.0 threes and 1.4 blocks over that stretch to maintain some fantasy utility. On the season, his 5.9 rebounds per game would be his lowest mark since he was a rookie in 2015-16, but his 2.3 threes per game would be a career high.
