Nurkic is questionable for Thursday's game in Brooklyn due to a right rib contusion.

Thursday's game will be the first of a back-to-back, so there's certainly a chance Nurkic will skip that one. If he does need a day off, there will be more minutes available for Taylor Hendricks, Kyle Filipowski and Kyle Anderson.

Poeltl (rest) will sit out Thursday's game against the Lakers, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.

Poeltl will take a maintenance day on the front end of a back-to-back set, but he should return to action Friday against the Hornets. Collin Murray-Boyles will have an opportunity to start Thursday night, and there will be more minutes available for Sandro Mamukelashvili.

Jackson-Davis (knee) is questionable for Thursday's game against the 76ers.

Jackson-Davis is in danger of missing his third straight game due to right knee soreness. Quinten Post (ankle) and Al Horford (back) could also be out, so Draymond Green may need to absorb all the minutes he can handle at center.

Horford (back) is questionable for Thursday's game against the 76ers.

Horford is trying to end a four-game absence with a back injury. With Trayce Jackson-Davis (knee) and Quinten Post (ankle) both questionable, Horford could be thrust into significant playing time if he plays.

Reid finished with 18 points (6-12 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, six assists and two steals across 32 minutes during Tuesday's 149-142 overtime victory over New Orleans.

Reid's fantasy upside may be capped by Julius Randle and Rudy Gobert, but he's fought off a slow start to his season since the start of November. Reid has averaged 14.3 points, 5.6 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 1.1 steals and 0.9 blocks per contest in his last 16 games.

Robinson (ankle) is out for Wednesday's game against the Hornets.

Robinson is sitting out the second part of New York's back-to-back set. The expectation is that he'll return Friday against the Jazz. Robinson's absence could allow Ariel Hukporti to join the rotation.

Williams won't play in Wednesday's game against Cleveland due to knee injury management.

No surprise here, considering Wednesday is the second half of a back-to-back set for Portland. With Donovan Clingan (leg) questionable, the Trail Blazers could be forced into a timeshare between Duop Reath and Yang Hansen at center.

Clingan is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Cavaliers due to a left lower leg contusion.

Clingan missed his first game of the season Sunday due to an illness, but he shook off a questionable tag and returned to action Tuesday, putting up 11 points and 11 rebounds in 21 minutes. However, it appears the big man picked up an injury during the contest and is in danger of missing another game. In his first absence, Kris Murray started at center in a small-ball lineup. Robert Williams (rest) has already been ruled out for Wednesday.

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.
