Poeltl is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Hornets due to a right hand contusion, Esfandiar Baraheni of The Athletic reports.

The right hand injury is a new concern for Poeltl, who missed Sunday's win over the Nets due to rest purposes. If the big man is sidelined once again, Orlando Robinson and Jonathan Mogbo are candidates for an uptick in playing time against Charlotte.

Holmes (shoulder) will not play Tuesday against the Pacers.

Holmes was previously considered doubtful, so no surprises here. Anthony Gill could soak up additional minutes in Holmes' absence.

Adebayo (back) is listed as available for Wednesday's game against the Bulls.

After missing Monday's game against the 76ers with left back spasms, Adebayo is cleared to play Wednesday and should be able to take on his usual workload. Over his last 10 games, the star big man has averaged 21.8 points, 8.0 rebounds, 4.7 assists, 1.1 steals and 1.9 three-pointers while shooting 50.0 percent from downtown in 34.4 minutes.

Holmes (shoulder) has been listed as doubtful for Tuesday's game against the Pacers.

Holmes is trending toward not playing Tuesday in Indiana due to a shoulder contusion. The Wizards will likely turn to Anthony Gill (hamstring) and Tristan Vukcevic (knee) against the Pacers if they are cleared to play.

Sabonis amassed 19 points (7-11 FG, 5-5 FT), 15 rebounds, 10 assists and one block over 35 minutes during Monday's 127-117 victory over Detroit.

Sabonis racked up his 10th triple-double of the season in Monday's victory. With 67 games under his belt and three regular-season games remaining, Sabonis is on pace to return second-round value in nine-category formats with 19.2 points, 13.9 rebounds, 6.1 assists and 0.9 three-pointers.

Duren registered six points (2-4 FG, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds, six assists, one block and one steal across 20 minutes during Monday's 127-117 loss to the Kings.

Duren battled foul trouble in his return from a leg injury, limiting him to just 20 minutes. Initially ruled out for the game, Duren was able to get back on the court ahead of schedule, a good sign despite the loss. The Pistons will enter the playoffs full of hope but need Duren to be at his best should they hope to emerge victorious.

Valanciunas produced 10 points (2-5 FG, 6-6 FT), 12 rebounds, one assist and one block in 13 minutes during Monday's 127-117 victory over the Pistons.

Valanciunas needed just 13 minutes to record his first double-double in his past 11 games. Outside of a brief period when Domantas Sabonis was sidelined due to injury, it's been a modest stretch of games for Valanciunas. Since being acquired from the Wizards prior to the trade deadline, he has served primarily as the backup center, typically playing minutes in the low teens.

Ware produced 19 points (8-16 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 17 rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 35 minutes during Monday's 117-105 victory over the 76ers.

Ware bounced back from a sluggish performance Saturday against the Bucks, notching his second double-double in three appearances. He led his team on the glass with 17 rebounds, which marked a new season high for the 20-year-old rookie. Ware has been less reliable in the scoring department of late, as he's been held to single digits in three of his last five matchups.

Richards (elbow) is listed as probable for Tuesday's game against the Warriors.

Richards is expected to play on the front end of the club's back-to-back set while he deals with right elbow soreness. The 27-year-old big man has averaged 6.2 points and 5.8 rebounds across 22.2 minutes per game in his last five outings (four starts).

Duren (leg) is available for Monday's game against Sacramento, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.

Duren was initially ruled out for Monday's contest due to a right leg contusion, but the third-year center out of Memphis has now been given the green light to return from a one-game absence. Duren has averaged 14.7 points on 67.8 percent shooting, 10.6 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1.4 blocks over 28.2 minutes per game since the beginning of March.
