Robert Williams III C | POR
Trail Blazers' Robert Williams: Iffy to return Wednesday
Williams (knee) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Knicks.
Williams has missed the Trail Blazers' last 10 games due to a left knee sprain. The seventh-year center out of Texas A&M has played in only 20 games (three starts) this season and is averaging 5.8 points, 5.9 rebounds, 1.1 assists and 1.7 blocks over 17.6 minutes per game.

Nikola Jokic C | DEN
Nuggets' Nikola Jokic: Expected to play against Minnesota
Jokic (elbow/ankle) is listed as probable for Wednesday's game versus the Timberwolves.
Jokic continues to deal with a right elbow contusion and a left ankle impingement but hasn't missed a game since Jan. 15. Considering the superstar big man has played over 40 minutes in each of his last three outings, he is unlikely to operate on a minutes restriction if he's upgraded to available yet again.

Rudy Gobert C | MIN
Timberwolves' Rudy Gobert: Questionable to face Denver
Gobert (back) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Nuggets.
Gobert made his return from a 10-game absence due to a lower back injury in Sunday's win over the Spurs, during which he posted 16 points (7-8 FG, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and two steals across 20 minutes. The big man will likely operate under a minutes restriction if he's able to play Wednesday. However, if Gobert is ruled out, Naz Reid and Luka Garza could receive a bump in minutes.

Drew Eubanks C | SAC
Clippers' Drew Eubanks: Not playing Tuesday
Eubanks (hip) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Pelicans.
Eubanks won't play Tuesday due to left hip soreness, and with the Clippers playing a back-to-back set, that puts him in jeopardy of missing Wednesday's game against the Heat. With Eubanks and Ben Simmons (knee) both sidelined, Kobe Brown could see an uptick in minutes as the Clippers' backup center behind Ivica Zubac.

Spurs' Charles Bassey: Ruled out for Wednesday
Bassey (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Mavericks, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.
Bassey has missed the last eight games for the Spurs while dealing with a bruise on his left knee. The next opportunity for the 24-year-old big man to get back on the floor will be Friday against the Hornets.

Brandon Clarke C | MEM
Grizzlies' Brandon Clarke: Questionable for Wednesday
Clarke (knee) has been listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Jazz.
Clarke missed Monday's win against the Suns due to right knee soreness. If he's unable to play in Wednesday's game against Utah, the Grizzlies will likely turn to Jay Huff and GG Jackson to help pick up the slack in the frontcourt.

Zach Edey C | MEM
Grizzlies' Zach Edey: Iffy against Utah
Edey (ankle) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game versus the Jazz.
Edey is in danger of missing his second straight contest Wednesday due to right ankle soreness. If the rookie big man is ruled out against Utah, Jay Huff could draw another start.

Kai Jones C | DAL
Mavericks' Kai Jones: Not playing Wednesday
Jones (quadriceps) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Spurs.
Wednesday will be the fifth game in a row that Jones will be sidelined for due to a left quadriceps strain, and his next chance to see the floor is Friday against Houston. Dwight Powell and Kessler Edwards will continue to serve as the Mavericks' centers due to Jones' absence.

Kristaps Porzingis C | GS
Celtics' Kristaps Porzingis: Officially listed as questionable
Porzingis (illness) is listed as questionable on the Celtics' official injury report for Wednesday's game versus the Thunder.
Despite multiple reports deeming Porzingis doubtful, Boston officially lists the star big man as questionable due to an illness. Regardless, Al Horford and Luke Kornet should receive increased playing time if Porzingis is ultimately downgraded to out.

Andre Drummond C | PHI
76ers' Andre Drummond: Iffy for Wednesday
Drummond (illness) has been listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Raptors.
Drummond missed Monday's game against the Hawks due to an illness and may miss a second consecutive game. Guerschon Yabusele will likely see a bump in minutes in the frontcourt.
