Oso Ighodaro C | PHO
Suns' Oso Ighodaro: Notches third double-double
Ighodaro produced 14 points (7-10 FG, 0-2 FT), 14 rebounds, three assists and one block in 26 minutes during Tuesday's 114-103 win over the Kings.
Ighodaro has now secured three double-doubles since Feb. 10 and has shown that he can produce across the board. He set a new season high in rebounds Tuesday and posted his best scoring night since Jan. 2, when he put up 15 points against Sacramento. Ighodaro is averaging 8.5 points, 6.2 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.3 steals over his last six games.

Thomas Bryant C | CLE
Cavaliers' Thomas Bryant: Could benefit if Allen misses time
Bryant amassed nine points (2-5 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five rebounds, one block and one steal over 16 minutes during Tuesday's 113-109 victory over Detroit.
Bryant has come off the bench in each of his 45 appearances this season and is averaging 10.8 minutes per game. He put together respectable numbers Tuesday and came through with his first outing with multiple three-pointers since Feb. 7. The veteran center could be called upon to take on a larger role after Jarrett Allen left in the third quarter due to a right knee injury, though Allen will have some extra time to recover before the Cavaliers' next game Sunday versus the Celtics.

Dwight Powell C | DAL
Mavericks' Dwight Powell: Paces bench in loss
Powell recorded 12 points (3-5 FG, 6-8 FT), four rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal in 26 minutes during Tuesday's 117-90 loss to the Hornets.
With Marvin Bagley (neck) unavailable for a third straight game, Powell saw significant minutes off the bench once again. He led the second unit in points Tuesday, scoring in double figures for the second time over that three-game span. The veteran center is likely to continue seeing 20-plus minutes of action as Daniel Gafford's primary backup for as long as Bagley is sidelined.

Zach Edey C | MEM
Grizzlies' Zach Edey: To miss remainder of season
Edey underwent surgery Tuesday to resolve discomfort and bone stress in his left ankle, and he'll miss the rest of the 2025-26 season.
Memphis announced Sunday that Edey would require surgery, but he wasn't officially ruled out for the rest of the season until after going under the knife Tuesday. The club expects the big man to make a full recovery ahead of the 2026-27 campaign.

DeAndre Jordan C | NO
Pelicans' DeAndre Jordan: Back to bench
Jordan isn't in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Lakers, Trevor Lane of LakersNation.com reports.
Jordan will revert back to the bench with Zion Williamson returning to the hardwood Tuesday evening. Jordan struggled to see much playing time even when in the starting five, so he's unlikely to have much upside in Los Angeles.

Maxi Kleber C | LAL
Lakers' Maxi Kleber: Available Tuesday
Kleber (back) is available for Tuesday's game against the Pelicans, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.
Kleber was a late addition to the injury report Tuesday, though he'll shed his questionable tag due to back soreness. The veteran center has appeared in four of the Lakers' last five games, averaging 2.5 points, 2.8 rebounds and 1.0 blocks in 10.0 minutes per tilt during that span.

Jalen Duren C | DET
Pistons' Jalen Duren: Posts strong double-double
Duren produced 24 points (7-9 FG, 10-14 FT), 14 rebounds, one assist and one block in 27 minutes during Tuesday's 113-109 loss to the Cavaliers.
Duren turned in a calculated performance on the offensive end, as he missed only two attempts from the field. He also got to the charity stripe with ease, where he tacked on 10 of his 24 points. Duren has now recorded six straight double-doubles and has put up 20 or more points in five of those outings.

Jarrett Allen C | CLE
Cavaliers' Jarrett Allen: Leaves early with knee injury
Allen (knee) exited with 7:32 remaining in the third quarter of Tuesday's 113-109 win over the Pistons and didn't return. He finished with eight points (4-7 FG, 0-2 FT), three rebounds and one steal across 21 minutes.
Allen injured his right knee midway through the third quarter and was listed as doubtful to return. The severity of the injury won't be known until Allen is further evaluated, though the big man will have until Sunday's game against the Celtics to recover. If he's forced to miss time, Evan Mobley would likely slide over to center, and backup big man Thomas Bryant could see a bump in minutes.

Jarrett Allen C | CLE
Cavaliers' Jarrett Allen: Doubtful to return Tuesday
Allen is doubtful to return to Tuesday's game against the Pistons due to a right knee injury, Serena Winters of FanDuel Sports Network Ohio reports.
Allen checked out of Tuesday's contest with 7:32 remaining in the third quarter and is unlikely to return. If the big man is unable to check back in, Thomas Bryant will likely help pick up the slack the rest of the way.

Ivica Zubac C | IND
Pacers' Ivica Zubac: Remains out for Wednesday
Zubac (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Clippers.
Zubac has yet to make his Pacers debut due to a left ankle sprain, and the team has yet to provide a clear timetable for his return to action. The big man should be considered doubtful for future contests until Indiana offers an update on his progress.
