Porzingis totaled 25 points (9-13 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 6-8 FT), 13 rebounds, three assists, three blocks and one steal over 29 minutes during Tuesday's 104-96 victory over Brooklyn.

Porzingis saw an increased offensive role with Jayson Tatum (knee) and Jaylen Brown (back) out, as he led Boston in scoring during Tuesday's victory. Although Porzingis's season average of 6.6 boards per game is his lowest since 2017-18, the 29-year-old big man hauled in a season-high 13 rebounds against Brooklyn.

Plumlee is out for Wednesday's game versus the Bulls due to a left quadriceps strain.

Plumlee will miss his first game since Nov. 15 due to a quadriceps injury. In the veteran big man's absence, Nick Richards and Oso Ighodaro could receive increased playing time. Plumlee's next chance to suit up is Friday's matchup with Cleveland.

Sabonis is out for Wednesday's game against Cleveland due to a right ankle sprain.

After suffering the injury in Monday's game against the Grizzlies, Sabonis will need to miss at least one game. The star big man can be labeled day-to-day ahead of Thursday's matchup with the Bulls. Jonas Valanciunas should join the first unit Wednesday, and he's averaged 12.0 points, 12.2 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 1.0 blocks and 0.8 steals in 26.6 minutes over six games as a starter for the Kings.

Jokic (elbow/ankle) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Lakers.

Jokic continues to deal with a right elbow contusion and a left ankle impingement, which could hold him out for a second consecutive contest Wednesday. If the superstar big man is sidelined once again, Zeke Nnaji and Vlatko Cancar could see an uptick in playing time. Jokic has made eight appearances in March, during which he has averaged 29.3 points, 13.6 rebounds, 9.0 assists and 1.6 steals across 39.8 minutes per contest.

Jemison (illness) is questionable for Wednesday's game against Denver, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.

Jemison is in jeopardy of missing his fourth consecutive contest due to an illness. If the 25-year-old center remains on the shelf, Alex Len and Christian Koloko are candidates for a bump in minutes behind Jaxson Hayes.

Kessler is out for Wednesday's game versus the Wizards due to rest purposes, Ben Anderson of KSL News Salt Lake City reports.

Kessler will sit out Wednesday's contest despite not suffering any injuries. In his absence, Kyle Filipowski and Micah Potter will likely receive increased playing time. Kessler's next chance to suit up is Friday's matchup with Boston.

Horford is in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Nets.

With Jayson Tatum (knee) sitting out Tuesday, Horford will join the starting five. The veteran big man has averaged 14.4 points, 9.0 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.2 blocks in 33.8 minutes over his last five games as a starter, granting him enhanced fantasy value.

Robinson (ankle) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Spurs.

Robinson is in jeopardy of missing the first half of the club's back-to-back set due to left ankle injury management. If the big man is cleared to play Wednesday, he'll likely be held out of Thursday's game against Charlotte. Over his last five outings, Robinson has averaged 4.6 points, 5.4 rebounds, 1.8 steals and 1.0 blocks across 17.6 minutes per contest.

Bassey (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Knicks, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.

Bassey will miss his 13th consecutive contest due to an acute-on-chronic bone bruise in his left knee. The big man is without a clear timeline for a return, but his continued absence should pave the way for Bismack Biyombo, Sandro Mamukelashvili and Jeremy Sochan to cover most of the minutes at center.

Drummond (toe) is out for Wednesday's game against the Thunder.

It'll be a fourth straight absence for the veteran big man, who carries no clear timetable for a return ahead of Friday's tilt against the Spurs. With Adem Bona (ankle) joining Drummond on the sideline, the 76ers will likely look for Oshae Brissett, Chuma Okeke and Alex Reese to handle the frontcourt minutes against Oklahoma City.
