    Timberwolves' Naz Reid: Tabbed questionable

    Reid (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Boston.

    Reid has missed back-to-back games due to a sprained right ankle, but the 26-year-old big man has a chance to return Sunday. Reid's absence has allowed Joan Beringer and Kyle Anderson to see an uptick in playing time.

  • Rockets' Alperen Sengun: Nursing back injury

    Sengun is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against Miami due to back tightness.

    Sengun missed two games earlier in the week due to a back issue but played in each of the Rockets' last two games, posting a double-double in both contests. If he's unable to play Saturday, then Clint Capela and Dorian Finney-Smith would be the top candidates to enter the Rockets' starting lineup.

  • Warriors' Quinten Post: Questionable versus Atlanta

    Post (foot) is questionable for Saturday's game against Atlanta.

    Post didn't play in Friday's loss to Detroit because of a nagging foot issue. The Warriors are already down Al Horford (calf) and Kristaps Porzingis (back) for this one. On top of that, Draymond Green (back) is also carrying a questionable designation. If Post can suit up, he could be looking at more action versus Atlanta. However, if Post and Green join Horford and Porzingis on the shelf, the Dubs should rely mostly on Gui Santos and Omer Yurtseven to handle the bulk of the work underneath the basket.

  • Warriors' Kristaps Porzingis: Ruled out against Hawks

    Porzingis (back) won't suit up for Saturday's game against Atlanta.

    Porzingis exited Friday's 115-101 loss to Detroit because of a back injury. While he already indicated he likely wouldn't be available Saturday against the Hawks, the latest update confirms what most had already expected. With Al Horford (calf) out and Draymond Green (back) and Quinten Post (foot) questionable, Gui Santos and Omer Yurtseven may split time in the middle versus Atlanta.

  • Spurs' Victor Wembanyama: Nursing right ankle injury

    Wembanyama is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Pacers due to right ankle soreness.

    Wembanyama may have picked up the injury during the Spurs' 101-100 win over the Suns on Thursday, when he played 35 minutes and finished with 34 points, 12 rebounds, one assist, three steals and one block. Luke Kornet would be the top candidate to enter San Antonio's starting lineup if Wembanyama is unable to play against Indiana.

  • Celtics' Amari Williams: Recalled to NBA

    Boston recalled Williams from the G League's Maine Celtics on Friday.

    Williams will likely be available to Sunday's meeting with the Timberwolves after spending a few days with the G League squad. However, the rookie has seen limited action at the NBA level over the past couple of months, and that is likely to remain the case for the rest of the season. He has been more productive when assigned to the Maine affiliate, for which his average of 10.8 rebounds per game is the highest on the team.

  • Rudy Gobert C | MIN

    Timberwolves' Rudy Gobert: Posts another double-double

    Gobert ended with 18 points (7-14 FG, 4-6 FT), 15 rebounds, one assist, one block and two steals in 38 minutes during Friday's 108-104 loss to Portland.

    Gobert managed to build off the dominant 21-point, 12-rebound effort he delivered in the win over the Jazz on March 18, and the big man posted back-to-back double-doubles for the first time since his first two games following the All-Star break. Gobert seems to be putting it all together, and if he can put up double-doubles consistently, he'd provide a huge boost for a Timberwolves team that's still without Anthony Edwards (knee). Gobert is averaging 11.1 points and 11.5 rebounds per game since the beginning of March, so even if he remains inconsistent on offense, he still delivers decent fantasy upside in all formats.

  • Maxi Kleber C | LAL

    Lakers' Maxi Kleber: Not playing Saturday

    Kleber (back) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Magic.

    Kleber has not played since March 8 while rehabbing from a back strain, though he progressed enough in his recovery to participate in Thursday's practice with the G League's South Bay Lakers. His next opportunity to play is Monday against the Pistons, though it's unclear whether he'll join his team toward the tail end of its six-game road trip.

  • Celtics' Neemias Queta: Perfect double-double Friday

    Queta produced 12 points (4-4 FG, 4-4 FT), 11 rebounds and one assist in 18 minutes during Friday's 117-112 victory over Memphis.

    Aside from notching his fourth double-double since the beginning of the month, it's worth noting that Queta also achieved this feat by not missing any of his shots from the field. His offensive touches will be even more inconsistent now that Jayson Tatum is back in the lineup, but the big man is making the most of his opportunities. Queta is averaging 10.7 points and 9.0 rebounds per game in March while shooting 62.7 percent from the floor.

  • Nets' Nic Claxton: Struggles continue Friday

    Claxton supplied eight points (4-7 FG) and seven rebounds in 22 minutes during Friday's 93-92 loss to New York.

    Claxton has been slumping badly in recent weeks, and Friday's loss means he's now scored in double digits in just two of his nine appearances since the beginning of March. Over that stretch, the veteran big man has averaged just 7.2 points and 6.6 rebounds per game, as this month has been his least productive of the season by a wide margin.
