Lachlan Olbrich C | CHI
Bulls' Lachlan Olbrich: Upgraded to available
Olbrich (foot) is listed as available for Tuesday's game against Washington.
Olbrich is overcoming a probable tag due to a foot injury Tuesday. With Nick Richards (elbow) out, Olbrich should handle the backup role at center behind Guerschon Yabusele.

Victor Wembanyama C | SA
Spurs' Victor Wembanyama: Doubtful for Wednesday
Wembanyama (ribs) is listed as doubtful for Wednesday's game against Portland, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Wembanyama suffered a left rib contusion during Monday's 115-102 win over the 76ers. It appears the 22-year-old will miss Wednesday's meeting with the Trail Blazers, though Chris Haynes of NBA TV reported Tuesday that his MRI came back clean, and he is considered day-to-day. If Wembanyama is indeed ruled out Wednesday, Luke Kornet is the favorite to enter the starting lineup.

Anthony Davis C | WAS
Wizards' Anthony Davis: Not expected to return this season
Head coach Brian Keefe said Tuesday that Davis (finger) is not expected to play again this season, Chase Hughes of Monumental Sports Network reports.
Davis hasn't played since Jan. 8 due to ligament damage in his left hand. Hughes relayed that the team tried to ramp him up but ultimately ran out of time. The star big man was recently cleared to take light contact and will continue rehabbing in the offseason ahead of the 2026-27 campaign. He'll finish this season with averages of 20.4 points, 11.1 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 1.7 blocks and 1.1 steals per game across 20 regular-season appearances with the Mavericks before being traded to the Wizards on Feb. 4.

Wendell Carter Jr. C | ORL
Magic's Wendell Carter: Questionable for Wednesday
Carter is questionable for Wednesday's game against Minnesota with a nasal fracture.
Carter didn't return to Monday's win over the Pistons due to the injury. His absence would free up a spot in the starting lineup, which would likely be filled by Goga Bitadze and would also put him in the streaming mix.

Thomas Bryant C | CLE
Cavaliers' Thomas Bryant: Ruled out with calf strain
Bryant (calf) is out for Wednesday's game against the Hawks.
A left calf strain is keeping Bryant out for a second straight contest. If Jaylon Tyson (toe) and Dean Wade (ankle) both remain sidelined, Larry Nance would likely serve as the No. 2 center behind Jarrett Allen on Wednesday.
-
Marvin Bagley III C | DAL
Mavericks' Marvin Bagley: Upgraded to probable
Bagley (shoulder) is listed as probable for Tuesday's game against the Clippers.
With Bagley likely to play and Daniel Gafford (shoulder) doubtful, the former is in line for a big role at center Tuesday. Over 10 appearances as a starter for Washington and Dallas in 2025-26, Bagley has averaged 12.6 points, 7.8 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.2 blocks in 27.1 minutes per game.

Onyeka Okongwu C | ATL
Hawks' Onyeka Okongwu: Modest line in loss
Okongwu finished Monday's 108-105 loss to the Knicks with 12 points (4-13 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, one assist and one block over 37 minutes.
This was a modest line by Okongwu's standards in what has been a terrific campaign for the center. Across 72 appearances, he holds averages of 15.3 points, 7.7 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 1.1 steals, 1.1 blocks and 2.0 three-pointers.
-
Yves Missi C | NO
Pelicans' Yves Missi: Questionable for Tuesday
Missi has a right hand sprain and is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Jazz.
Missi was a late addition to the injury report which is usually not a great sign in fantasy hoops. He was coming off a strong performance with 18 points (8-9 FG, 2-4 FT), 13 rebounds, three assists and four blocks over 40 minutes during Sunday's 112-108 loss to Orlando. DeAndre Jordan and Derik Queen may see more minutes if Missi is held out.

Nikola Jokic C | DEN
Nuggets' Nikola Jokic: Notches triple-double in OT win
Jokic produced 35 points (15-31 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 14 rebounds, 13 assists, five steals and two blocks in 43 minutes during Monday's 137-132 overtime victory over Portland.
The Nuggets faced a 14-point deficit heading into the fourth quarter, but Jokic's strong play down the stretch helped to force overtime, and he eventually helped Denver come up with the win. This marks the star center's second triple-double through three April appearances, and the third time he's put up 30-plus points in his last five matchups. Jokic's five steals were an added bonus, as he'd been held without a steal in his previous two showings before Monday.

Mitchell Robinson C | NY
Knicks' Mitchell Robinson: Grabs 12 boards, adds three blocks
Robinson finished with eight points (4-6 FG), 12 rebounds, one assist, three blocks and two steals in 20 minutes during Monday's 108-105 victory over the Hawks.
Robinson got it done on both ends of the floor, making some key plays for the Knicks in what felt like a playoff game. Seemingly healthy now, Robinson figures to play a sizeable role for New York, providing the team with an elite defensive presence and a dynamic rebounder, particularly on the offensive glass.
