Jokic (ankle) has been upgraded to questionable for Wednesday's game against the Bucks.

Jokic was previously listed as doubtful, but his upgrade in status offers hope that he'll making hisreturn from a five-game absence due to a left ankle impingement. If he does get the green light to play, Jokic could face restrictions in his first game back. Look for DeAndre Jordan to move back to the bench if Jokic is cleared ahead of the 9 p.m. ET tipoff.

Valanciunas totaled two points (0-4 FG, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and one assist across eight minutes during Tuesday's 121-105 loss to Oklahoma City.

With Domantas Sabonis playing both games of this back-to-back set with an average of 35.0 minutes, there isn't much room for Valanciunas to produce much fantasy value. Over his last two games, Valanciunas has averaged a mere 10.5 minutes per contest.

Sengun racked up 18 points (8-19 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal over 38 minutes during Tuesday's 121-114 victory over Atlanta.

Sengun couldn't replicate the impressive triple-double he notched against the Nuggets on Sunday, but the big man continues to fill the stat sheet every time he steps on the hardwood. Sengun's numbers might not be as inflated as they were earlier in the season, but he remains very productive in a position where there isn't a lot of top-end talent. The All-Star big man is averaging 17.2 points, 10.9 rebounds, 5.1 assists and a combined 2.0 steals-plus-blocks per game over his last 10 appearances.

Okongwu contributed 14 points (6-14 FG, 2-4 3Pt), 15 rebounds and three assists over 38 minutes during Tuesday's 121-114 loss to the Rockets.

Okongwu has been one of the standout performers for the Hawks this season, and he has taken full advantage of his new role as the starting center. The big man has started in 31 contests in a row and is averaging 14.7 points, 10.0 rebounds and a combined 2.2 steals-plus-blocks per game in that stretch.

Adebayo accumulated 27 points (9-18 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 7-9 FT), eight rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal across 34 minutes during Tuesday's 112-86 victory over the Warriors.

The Heat delivered a dominant performance on both ends of the court Tuesday, and it's safe to say Adebayo played a huge role in the victory, leading the team in scoring and ending just two boards shy of a double-double. The star big man hasn't recorded a double-double since March 10, but he remains an impactful player who can fill the stat sheet on any given game. He's averaging a solid line of 17.4 points, 7.6 rebounds, 4.0 assists and a combined 2.1 steals-plus-blocks per game over his last 10 contests.

Williams racked up eight points (4-7 FG), 13 rebounds, four assists, one block and two steals across 28 minutes during Tuesday's 111-104 loss to the Magic.

Williams wasn't much of an offensive weapon for the Hornets, but he made his presence felt on the glass and recorded double-digit boards for the sixth time over his last eight outings. A bit more consistency on the scoring side of things would be a boost for the Hornets, but overall, Williams has been getting the job done on both ends of the court. Over that aforementioned eight-game stretch, Williams is averaging 14.4 points, 10.8 rebounds, 3.5 assists and a combined 2.9 steals-plus-blocks per contest.

Clingan amassed 18 points (6-10 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 4-7 FT), 12 rebounds, two assists, three blocks and one steal across 32 minutes during Tuesday's 122-111 loss to Cleveland.

Clingan has been very inconsistent on the offensive end, but he's been an elite source of rebounds and blocks in recent games. Over his last five outings, Clingan has produced 10th-round value in nine-category formats in 26.5 minutes, averaging 9.0 points, 10.2 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 1.8 blocks.

Filipowski logged 13 points (4-6 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT), two rebounds and one steal over 24 minutes during Tuesday's 140-103 loss to the Grizzlies.

Although Filipowski has been effective amid John Collins's (ankle) absence, the former turned in a tepid line during a hapless performance by the team. The rookie is a critical part of Utah's future plans, so he'll get every opportunity to produce as the team languishes through the rest of the schedule.

Huff contributed 15 points (6-13 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds and one block across 18 minutes during Tuesday's 140-103 win over the Jazz.

Huff led a huge run in the third quarter after stepping in for Jaren Jackson. Huff posted 12 points, two rebounds and a block during the stanza and was a key factor in putting the game out of reach. He's buried on the depth chart, but the team's choice to use him immediately after Jackson's exit shows that he may have a leg up on Zach Edey in the rotation.

Edey accumulated 15 points (5-8 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 3-3 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and two steals across 21 minutes during Tuesday's 140-103 victory over the Jazz.

Although Jay Huff got the first crack at absorbing Jaren Jackson's missing production, Edey took over and contributed seven points in the fourth quarter. Although Edey has been relegated to backup duty, he has the ability to rack up rebounds quickly when given the opportunity.
