Jokic (ankle) is available for Tuesday's game against the Timberwolves.

Jokic will suit up for his third straight outing following a five-game absence due to a left ankle impingement. Over his last two appearances, the three-time MVP has amassed 66 points, 24 rebounds, 16 assists and four steals across 70 total minutes. He has shot 55.8 percent from the field and 36.4 percent from beyond the arc in that two-game span.

Biyombo is starting in Tuesday's game against the Magic.

Jeremy Sochan (back) is a late scratch Tuesday, opening the door for Biyombo to start at center. The veteran big man has averaged 5.5 points, 5.6 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 0.8 blocks and 0.7 steals in 19.2 minutes over 18 games as a starter this season.

Robinson isn't in the starting five for Tuesday's game versus the Bulls.

Jakob Poeltl will reclaim his starting spot from Robinson after sitting out Toronto's previous contest due to rest purposes. Robinson has averaged 8.8 points, 7.6 rebounds and 2.1 assists in 25.0 minutes across his last 10 appearances coming off the bench.

Robinson is in the starting five for Tuesday's game versus the 76ers, Kristian Winfield of the New York Daily News reports.

Robinson will replace Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) in the starting five Tuesday. Robinson tallied seven points and five rebounds in 15 minutes during his only other start of the season.

Kessler (conditioning) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game versus the Rockets.

Kessler is in danger of missing his third straight contest Wednesday as he works his way back into game shape. If Kessler is forced to sit out yet again, Kyle Filipowski will likely draw another start.

Lively (ankle) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against Atlanta.

Lively was upgraded to questionable before ultimately being ruled out Monday against Brooklyn. Still, he practiced fully Tuesday, per Mike Curtis of The Dallas Morning News, and is nearing a return to action after having not played since Jan. 14 due to a right ankle stress fracture. With Anthony Davis (adductor) probable and Daniel Gafford having returned following a lengthy absence of his own, Lively wouldn't be asked to play significant minutes if he's available Wednesday.

Bradley (illness) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Hornets.

Bradley will not be available for the Pacers on Wednesday due to illness. However, his absence won't have much of an impact from a fantasy perspective, as he's averaging 5.7 minutes per game.

Davis (adductor) is listed as probable for Wednesday's game against Atlanta.

Davis is expected to suit up in his fourth consecutive contest while the club manages the left adductor strain that kept him sidelined for 18 straight games. The star big man has made four appearances since the extended absence, averaging 14.3 points, 6.8 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 1.0 blocks across 28.5 minutes per contest. Davis was limited to 28 minutes during Tuesday's loss to Brooklyn, and he'll likely continue to operate under a minutes restriction if he suits up against the Hawks.

Turner is questionable for Wednesday's game against Charlotte with an illness.

Turner didn't play in Monday's matchup with the Kings, and his status should be updated closer to Wednesday's tipoff. If the star big man remains sidelined against the Hornets, the Pacers would likely to turn to Thomas Bryant for another spot start at center after he did so Monday.

Kornet (illness) is not listed on the injury report for Wednesday's game against Miami, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.

Kornet missed Monday's tilt against Memphis due to an illness, but he's set to be available for Wednesday. With Kristaps Porzingis (reconditioning) questionable and Al Horford (toe) doubtful to play against the Heat, Kornet may be asked to make a spot start in the middle. Kornet averaged 7.2 points, 6.1 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.1 blocks in 22.2 minutes through 14 games last month.
