Turner finished Wednesday's 106-103 loss to the Heat with 24 points (9-15 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 5-8 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and one block in 31 minutes.

Turner finished just two boards away from recording what would've been his third double-double in his last four appearances. The veteran big man has been tasked with handling a bigger workload on offense due to the absence of Giannis Antetokounmpo (groin), but the results had been inconsistent until this outing. This 24-point output was a new season-high mark for Turner, but he's cleared the 20-point mark just three times all season long. Turner can deliver steady numbers, but he's not expected to carry the Bucks' offense any time soon, especially with the emergence of Ryan Rollins as a reliable go-to offensive weapon this season.

Williams is in the Suns' starting lineup against the Kings on Wednesday, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.

Williams was cleared to play Wednesday after sitting out Monday's game against the Kings due to right knee injury management. Across 10 games since Nov. 2, Williams has averaged 12.3 points on 66.7 percent shooting, 7.9 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 1.3 steals and 0.9 blocks over 25.9 minutes per game.

Richards will come off the bench Wednesday against the Kings, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.

Richards started Monday with Mark Williams taking a rest day, but Williams will return to the starting lineup Wednesday, shifting Richards back to the second unit. Through 16 games as a reserve this season, Richards owns averages of 4.1 points and 3.5 rebounds in 9.6 minutes per game.

Towns logged 19 points (6-13 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 7-7 FT), 10 rebounds and three assists over 32 minutes during the Knicks' 129-101 win over the Hornets on Wednesday.

Towns led the Knicks in rebounds Wednesday and finished tied with Miles McBride for the second-most points on the team behind Jalen Brunson (33). Towns is up to 15 double-doubles on the year, which is second most in the Association behind Nikola Jokic (16). Towns has averaged 24.3 points, 12.1 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 1.0 steals and 0.8 blocks over 33.4 minutes per game since Nov. 2.

Edey (head) will play in Wednesday's game against the Pelicans.

Edey had been leaning toward suiting up, and he'll wind up playing. The second-year center had been averaging 12.3 points, 9.3 rebounds, 2.0 blocks and 1.3 steals across 25.3 minutes per game before departing Monday's game early due to a head injury.

Sims is not in the Bucks' starting lineup against the Heat on Wednesday.

Sims made his first start of the season Monday against the Trail Blazers, though he played just 11 minutes and finished with zero points (0-1 FG) and one rebound. He'll come off the bench for Wednesday's tilt while Gary Trent enters the Bucks' starting five.

Ware is not in the Heat's starting lineup against the Bucks on Wednesday.

Ware has started in each of the Heat's last three games and has averaged 20.0 points, 16.0 rebounds, 1.3 blocks and 1.3 steals over 29.3 minutes per game over that span. Despite his strong performances as of late, the second-year center will revert to a reserve role Wednesday due to the returns of Norman Powell and Andrew Wiggins.

Head coach Tuomas Iisalo said Edey (head) is "trending toward playing" Wednesday against New Orleans, Michael Wallace of the Grizzlies' official site reports.

Edey suffered the injury during Monday's game and was initially labeled questionable for Friday night's contest. Now, he's leaning toward probable for the contest. He had logged 25 or 26 minutes in all four of his appearances before Monday.

Plumlee is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Knicks.

No surprise here, given that rookie standout Ryan Kalkbrenner is back in the lineup for the Hornets. Plumlee has averaged 1.7 points, 2.8 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 9.6 minutes per contest over six games this month, leaving him with little to no fantasy appeal Wednesday.

Embiid (knee) was limited to an individual strength and conditioning session Wednesday, Noah Levick of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

It's not a great sign that Embiid was held out of Wednesday's practice, as he previously participated with the team in recent days. Embiid missed Tuesday's game against Orlando despite going through shootaround, marking his eighth straight game on the sidelines. He can be considered highly questionable for Friday against the Nets.
