Poeltl (back) is out for Tuesday's game against the Thunder.

With Tuesday being the first half of a back-to-back, the Raptors are holding Poeltl out for injury management. Collin Murray-Boyles and Sandro Mamukelashvili are expected to split the center minutes evenly in the absence of Poeltl.

Nurkic is scheduled to undergo season-ending nose surgery Wednesday, Chris Haynes of NBA TV reports.

Nurkic came back from the All-Star break with a nose injury, and he's opting for a procedure to repair the issue. The 31-year-old big man is set to be an unrestricted free agent ahead of 2026-27, and he should receive plenty of interest on the open market this summer after averaging 10.9 points, 10.4 rebounds, 4.8 assists and 1.3 steals in 26.4 minutes per contest through 41 games this season. With Nurkic's campaign over, the runway is clear at center for Kyle Filipowski to handle a starting role the rest of the way.

Bryant (coach's decision) went unused off the bench Sunday in the Cavaliers' 121-113 loss to the Thunder.

With Evan Mobley available again after overcoming the calf injury that sidelined him for seven straight games leading up to the All-Star break, Bryant has dropped out of the Cleveland rotation for two of the past three contests. Bryant's opportunities are likely to be scarce over the final two months of the season, so long as both Mobley and Jarrett Allen can stay healthy.

The Warriors have ruled out Porzingis (illness) for game Tuesday in New Orleans and Wednesday in Memphis, Anthony Slater of ESPN.com reports Monday.

Porzingis didn't travel with the Warriors for their upcoming back-to-back set after he was initially listed as probable ahead of Sunday's 128-117 win over the Nuggets before being downgraded to questionable and then ruled out prior to tipoff. The Warriors haven't indicated that Porzingis' setback on the health front is a major concern, but he'll likely need to resume practicing Thursday and/or Friday to have any chance at being available for the start of the team's homestand Saturday versus the Lakers. With Porzingis out for the two-game road trip, Quinten Post could maintain a minor role in the Golden State rotation.

Vucevic ended Sunday's 111-89 victory over the Lakers with nine points (4-6 FG, 1-2 FT), eight rebounds and one steal in 21 minutes.

The star big man is still acclimating to his new surroundings in Boston, so fantasy managers should remain patient for the time being. Vucevic has averaged 11.8 points, 8.4 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.0 steals in 25.3 minutes per contest in his last five games (zero starts), shooting 50.0 percent from the field.

Niederhauser registered seven points (3-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt), eight rebounds and four blocks across 26 minutes off the bench during Sunday's 111-109 loss to the Magic.

With Ivica Zubac (ankle) now in Indiana, Niederhauser has seen a more consistent role in the Clippers frontcourt rotation, and he's beginning to make an impact -- Sunday's four rejections were a new career high. Over the last eight games, the rookie center is averaging 5.9 points, 4.5 boards and 1.4 blocks in 15.4 minutes with the second unit.

Carter chipped in 15 points (6-14 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 14 rebounds and three assists over 33 minutes during Sunday's 111-109 victory over the Clippers.

The double-double was the seventh of the season for Carter and his first since Jan. 4, while the 14 boards were a season high. The 26-year-old center has grabbed more than 10 rebounds in three of the last four games, but it's his offense that's been lagging -- he scored in single digits in eight straight games to begin February. On the month, Carter is averaging 6.7 points, 8.3 boards, 1.8 assists and 1.2 steals in 26.6 minutes a contest while shooting a miserable 34.4 percent from the floor.

Richards ended with nine points (3-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-5 FT), 13 rebounds and one block across 23 minutes off the bench during Sunday's 105-99 loss to New York.

Jalen Smith (calf) left the game in the third quarter and didn't return, giving Richards an opportunity to post a new season high in boards. If Smith ends up sidelined for any length of time, Richards would likely be the biggest beneficiary. Over six games since being acquired from the Suns, the 28-year-old center is averaging 8.7 points, 6.7 rebounds and 1.3 blocks in 20.0 minutes.

Towns contributed 28 points (10-17 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 11 rebounds, two assists and three steals across 32 minutes during Sunday's 105-99 win over Chicago.

The double-double was his league-leading 39th of the season, and his ninth in the last 10 contests after he'd seen an eight-game streak ended in his first game after the All-Star break Saturday. Through nine February appearances, Towns is averaging 20.2 points, 11.6 boards, 2.7 assists, 1.6 threes and 1.2 steals while shooting 53.6 percent from the floor.

Clingan had 23 points (9-13 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-4 FT), 13 rebounds, three assists, four blocks and one steal in 31 minutes during Sunday's 92-77 win over the Suns.

Clingan put together a stellar all-around showing, tying Jerami Grant for the team lead in points while pacing the Blazers in rebounds. Clingan has now scored 23 points in two of his last three matchups and has recorded five double-doubles in nine February appearances.
