Eubanks is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Warriors, Matt George of ABC 10 Sacramento reports.

Domantas Sabonis (ribs) is out for Wednesday's game, so Eubanks will draw the spot-start and he'll be joined in the first unit by Russell Westbrook, DeMar DeRozan, Dennis Schroder and Nique Clifford. In Eubanks' previous start this season he finished with four points, four rebounds, two steals and four blocks over 22 minutes.

Head coach Jason Kidd said Wednesday that Lively (knee) is doing on-court work and will hopefully be back by next week, Christian Clark of the Athletic reports.

Lively has already missed five straight games with a sprained right knee, and he'll miss at least two more due to the issue. Kidd's comments indicate he'll be sidelined for both legs of Dallas's back-to-back that begins Friday. After that, Lively's next chance to play will come Monday against Milwaukee.

Davis (calf), who's already been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Pelicans, is considered day-to-day, Christian Clark of The Athletic reports.

Head coach Jason Kidd gave Davis the designation, and Kidd said the superstar forward is still "ramping up on the court." Wednesday's absence will be Davis' third straight due to a low-grade calf strain. His next chance to play will come Friday in Memphis.

Towns (illness) has been cleared to play in Wednesday's game against the Timberwolves, Ian Begley of SportsNet New York reports.

Towns is dealing with an illness, but it won't keep him off the floor against this old team. The veteran big man is coming off an impressive 33-point double-double in the blowout win over the Wizards. He's currently averaging 20.4 points, 13.1 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 1.0 blocks per game while shooting 40.8 percent from the field and 36.1 percent from deep.

Adams (hip) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Grizzlies, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports.

Adams is dealing with a hip issue that will keep him sidelined. Clint Capela and Jeff Green will likely be turned to to shoulder the load in the frontcourt.

Allen (finger) will play in Wednesday's game against Philadelphia barring a setback in pregame warmups, Spencer Davies of SI.com reports.

For the first time this season, the Cavaliers' entire core four of Darius Garland, Donovan Mitchell, Evan Mobley and Allen will be available. Allen has missed back-to-back games with a fractured finger on his left hand, but the 27-year-old center appears to be a full-go Wednesday. Per Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer, Allen will wear a protective splint on the finger. He's averaging 14.0 points, 7.0 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.4 steals per game.

Holmgren (lower back sprain) will not play Wednesday against Portland.

Holmgren returned from a three-game absence during Tuesday's 126-107 victory over the Clippers, finishing with 11 points (4-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five rebounds, three assists, three blocks and one steal over 30 minutes. The Thunder will play it safe on the second leg of this back-to-back set, however. In Holmgren's absence, the Thunder will likely rely on Isaiah Hartenstein and Jaylin Williams.

Sabonis (ribs) will not play Wednesday against Golden State, Marc J. Spears of ESPN.com reports.

Sabonis was unable to shake his questionable tag and will miss his first game since Opening Night. Fantasy managers can expect him to be listed as day-to-day going forward. With Sabonis sidelined Wednesday, the Kings could rely on guys like Drew Eubanks and new signing Precious Achiuwa.

Horford (rest) is available for Wednesday's game against the Kings.

After missing the front end of this back-to-back set, Horford is all set to return. The Warriors have submitted a lengthy injury report for Wednesday evening, so Horford may see increased usage.

Hayes (ankle) has been cleared to play in Wednesday's game against the Spurs, Thuc Nhi Nguyen of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Hayes has been dealing with an ankle issue, but it won't keep him off the floor. In five games played this season, the veteran center is averaging 5.4 points, 4.6 rebounds and 2.0 assists per game, shooting 76.5 percent from the field.
