Powell had four points (1-2 FG, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, three assists and two steals over 21 minutes during Tuesday's 128-113 loss to New York.

Powell delivered another underwhelming performance, scoring single digits for the sixth straight game. In fact, to this point, he has scored double-digits only once all season, averaging 2.2 points and 2.3 rebounds in 10.1 minutes per game.

Duren ended Tuesday's 122-96 win over San Antonio with 14 points (6-9 FG, 2-5 FT), seven assists and four rebounds over 24 minutes.

Duren tied his career-high mark in assists during his limited run in Tuesday's blowout win. The third-year big man has now dished out at least five dimes in 12 outings this season, including twice in his last five games. Duren's seven assists were also a game high, and he chipped in double-digit points for a fourth consecutive contest as well.

Holmgren (hip) is available and in the starting five for Tuesday's game versus the Kings.

Holmgren has been upgraded from questionable to available Tuesday after missing the Thunder's previous contest due to a left hip strain. Holmgren is averaging 15.3 points, 8.3 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 2.0 blocks in 28.0 minutes across his last 10 appearances.

Tillman (knee) won't play in Wednesday's game versus the Suns.

Tillman's absence streak will extend to four games Wednesday due to a left knee joint sprain. Tillman's next chance to suit up is Saturday's matchup with San Antonio.

Horford (toe) is off the Celtics' injury report for Wednesday's game against the Suns.

Horford is slated to return to game action after missing Monday's win over the Kings due to a left big toe sprain. However, Monday's absence was likely just a day of rest during the second leg of a back-to-back set, as the veteran big man has yet to suit up in both halves of a back-to-back this season. Over his last five outings (all starts), Horford has averaged 10.0 points, 7.8 rebounds and 4.0 assists across 31.0 minutes per game.

Jokic (ankle) has been listed as doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Bucks.

Jokic is trending toward missing a sixth straight game for the Nuggets while nursing a left ankle issue. Denver will likely continue to lean on Aaron Gordon (calf/ankle) if he's cleared to play against Milwaukee. If Gordon and Jokic cannot play Wednesday, the Nuggets may give Peyton Watson, Zeke Nnaji and DeAndre Jordan more minutes on the floor.

Castleton's second 10-day contract with the Raptors expired Tuesday, and Toronto isn't expected to re-sign him prior to Wednesday's game in Brooklyn, Michael Grange of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Castleton saw extensive action with Toronto during his 10-day deals, appearing in each of the last 10 contests while averaging 6.9 points, 7.4 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 0.8 blocks in 25.8 minutes per contest. Though the Raptors have the option of signing Castleton to a rest-of-season deal, the team prefers to use the 15th spot on the roster to cycle in a new player on a 10-day contract. Expect the Raptors to find a replacement on the roster prior to Wednesday's contest, while Castleton presumably heads back to the G League and joins the Osceola Magic, with whom he had been playing before signing his first 10-day deal with Toronto.

Robinson (ankle) is out for Tuesday's game versus the Mavericks, Kristian Winfield of the New York Daily News reports.

Robinson has been downgraded from questionable to out for the first leg of the Knicks' back-to-back Tuesday due to left ankle injury recovery. Precious Achiuwa will likely receive the majority of the team's backup center minutes behind Karl-Anthony Towns in his absence. Robinson's next chance to suit up is Wednesday's matchup with the Clippers.

Boucher is out for Wednesday's game against the Nets with an illness.

Wednesday will mark a third consecutive absence for Boucher, who can be deemed day-to-day prior to Friday's contest against the Hornets. With Jakob Poeltl getting the night off against Brooklyn, the Raptors are set to have Orlando Robinson and Jonathan Mogbo make up a timeshare at center.

Sharpe is out for Wednesday's game against the Raptors with a right knee sprain, C.J. Holmes of the New York Daily News reports.

It's a new issue for Sharpe, who'll sit out for the first time since Jan. 8. His next chance to return comes Friday against the Clippers, and the Nets should turn to Trendon Watford and Noah Clowney for the backup center minutes against Toronto.
