Gafford (ankle) participated in Wednesday's shootaround, per Abby Jones of DLLS Sports.

This bodes well for the big man's chances of suiting up Wednesday against the Heat, but he remains listed as questionable. Gafford is likely to go through pregame warmups before the Mavericks confirm his status.

Holmgren posted 21 points (8-12 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT), eight rebounds, three assists and one block across 30 minutes during Tuesday's 124-112 victory over the Warriors.

Tuesday marked Holmgren's third game in a row scoring 19 or more points on higher than 50 percent shooting. Holmgren's eight rebounds matched his season average, and he's failed to notch a double-double in his past 10 outings.

Kornet ended with four points (1-4 FG, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, four assists, five blocks and one steal across 28 minutes during Tuesday's 126-119 victory over the Grizzlies.

The five rejections were a season high for Kornet, and just one off his regular-season career high. The veteran center has started eight straight games in place of Victor Wembanyama (calf), and while he's scored in double digits only twice, he's been a fairly consistent contributor on the glass and at the rim, averaging 6.8 points, 6.1 boards, 2.5 assists and 2.0 blocks in 26.5 minutes a contest.

Looney recorded zero points (0-1 FG), three rebounds and one assist across 12 minutes during Tuesday's 149-142 overtime loss to the Timberwolves.

Looney continues to do basically nothing, typically logging minutes only when other players are injured. He should be viewed as the third-string center, a clearly evident fact when analyzing his season stats. In 12 appearances, he has averaged 2.7 points and 3.9 rebounds in 12.9 minutes per game.

Gobert produced 26 points (9-10 FG, 8-10 FT), 13 rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in 38 minutes during Tuesday's 149-142 overtime win over the Pelicans.

Gobert recorded his eighth double-double of the season, including a season-high 26 points. For a player averaging 11.1 points per game through the first 21 games, this was an unexpected yet welcome surprise. The veteran center has put together a serviceable campaign to this point, averaging 10.2 rebounds and 1.6 blocks to go with his 11.1 points per game.

Robinson provided one point (1-4 FT) and five rebounds over 16 minutes during Tuesday's 123-117 loss to the Celtics.

Robinson was purposefully sent to the charity stripe twice in the first quarter, with the Celtics taking advantage of his struggles at the line. He ultimately finished the game with fewer than three points for the third time in his last four appearances. The big man has come off the bench in four straight games, and he hasn't offered much from a fantasy perspective outside of his rebounding.

Towns closed with 29 points (12-19 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and one block in 33 minutes during Tuesday's 123-117 loss to the Celtics.

Towns delivered an efficient performance from the field and finished as the Knicks' second-leading scorer, albeit in a losing effort. After scoring just nine points on 2-for-8 shooting in Friday's win over Milwaukee, the star big man has scored 20-plus in back-to-back outings, and he has now reached the 20-point threshold in 12 of 20 regular-season games. He also tied the team-high mark in rebounds Tuesday.

Drummond posted 12 points (5-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal in 17 minutes during Tuesday's 121-102 victory over the Wizards.

Drummond played through his recent knee injury, tallying his second double-double in the past six games. He was limited to 17 minutes as a result of early foul trouble, although the fact that the game was a blowout likely had something to do with it as well. As long as he is relatively healthy, Drummond remains a must-roster player, at least until Joel Embiid (knee) is back playing regular basketball.

Edey finished Tuesday's 126-119 loss to the Spurs with 19 points (8-12 FG, 3-4 FT), 15 rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 30 minutes.

It was another dominant display on the glass for Edey, who grabbed seven of his game-high 15 rebounds in the fourth quarter of Tuesday's loss. The second-year center has grabbed at least 15 boards in four straight games and five times over his last six outings. Since making his regular-season debut in mid-November after fully recovering from offseason right ankle surgery, Edey is averaging 14.2 points, 11.6 rebounds, 0.9 assists, 2.1 blocks and 0.8 steals over 25.9 minutes per game.

Jackson-Davis (knee) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Thunder.

Jackson-Davis will miss his second consecutive contest due to right knee soreness. The big man's next opportunity to suit up will come Thursday against Philadelphia.
