Holmgren chipped in 22 points (5-12 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 12-13 FT), 10 rebounds and four assists in 30 minutes during Wednesday's 125-112 win over the Suns.

Since returning from a lengthy absence, Holmgren has sat frequently for injury management and has ceded significant minutes to Isaiah Hartenstein (heel). Still, his teammate's absence allowed Holmgren to take full control under the basket. Despite an injury-filled 2024-25 campaign, the former first-round pick's numbers have been solid, averaging 15.0 points, 8.0 rebounds and 2.2 blocked shots over 32 games.

Nurkic had 26 points (12-19 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-4 FT), nine rebounds and four assists in 26 minutes during Wednesday's 126-96 loss to the Raptors.

After logging a healthy DNP against the Grizzlies on Tuesday, Nurkic was inserted into the Hornets' starting lineup due to the absences of Mark Williams (foot) and Moussa Diabate (illness). Nurkic finished as the Hornets' leading rebounder and finished second in scoring behind Nick Smith (28). With two games left in the 2024-25 regular season, Nurkic's playing time will be dependant on the availability of Williams.

Landale is part of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Clippers, Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Alperen Sengun (back) will be in street clothes Wednesday, resulting in Landale making the start. It'll be Landale's second start of the season. Expect Landale and Steven Adams to split most of the center work.

Queta recorded 11 points (4-6 FG, 3-4 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and two blocks over 25 minutes in Wednesday's 96-76 loss to Orlando.

Queta provided a lift off the Celtics bench Wednesday, recording team-high-tying marks in rebounds and blocks while leading all bench players in scoring and finishing as one of five Boston players with a double-digit point total. Queta recorded his ninth outing of the season with 10 or more points, his first since Feb. 8.

Reath (knee) will play in Wednesday's game against Utah.

Reath will return from a two-game absence due to a right knee injury. His availability could mean fewer opportunities for Jabari Walker. Reath averages 4.3 points and 2.0 rebounds across 10.3 minutes per game this season.

Nurkic is in the Hornets' starting lineup against the Raptors on Wednesday, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Nurkic was a healthy DNP in Tuesday's loss to the Grizzlies, but he'll make his eighth start with the Hornets on Wednesday due to the absence of Mark Williams (foot). Nurkic has averaged 7.9 points, 5.7 rebounds and 1.8 assists over 16.8 minutes per game since the beginning of March.

Robinson is in the Raptors' starting lineup against the Hornets on Wednesday, Esfandiar Baraheni of The Athletic reports.

Robinson will make his eighth start of the season (and sixth since the beginning of March) due to the absence of Jakob Poeltl (hand). Robinson has averaged 10.3 points, 6.5 rebounds and 2.1 assists in 21.8 minutes per game over his last 10 outings.

Kornet is in the Celtics' starting lineup against the Magic on Wednesday, Cody Taylor of USA Today reports.

Kornet will make his 15th start of the season (and eighth since the beginning of March) due to Al Horford (knee) and Kristaps Porzingis (rest) both being ruled out for Wednesday's contest. Kornet has averaged 11.2 points, 8.6 rebounds and 2.0 assists over 22.4 minutes per game over his last five outings.

Vucevic (calf) is available for Wednesday's game against Miami, Will Gottlieb of AllCHGO.com reports.

Vucevic didn't play in Tuesday's loss to the Cavaliers while managing a right calf issue, but he'll play in the second leg of the Bulls' back-to-back set Wednesday. The veteran center has averaged 19.2 points, 9.8 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 1.0 blocks in 29.1 minutes per game over his last 10 outings while shooting 55.4 percent from the field and 47.7 percent from three.

Hayes (hand) has been upgraded to available for Wednesday's game against the Mavericks, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.

Hayes was initially listed as questionable for this contest, but the big man has been upgraded to available and should start at center. Since the All-Star break, he has averaged 8.4 points, 5.8 rebounds, 1.1 assists and 0.9 blocks per game and should handle his regular workload in this matchup.
