  • 76ers' Andre Drummond: Team-high 12 rebounds

    Drummond registered five points (2-7 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 12 rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 21 minutes during Saturday's 126-111 loss to the Pelicans.

    Drummond remained in the starting lineup, although he was limited to just 21 minutes. Veteran center DeAndre Jordan was given the starting nod for the Pelicans and subsequently took advantage of the fact that Drummond is far from an elite defender. However, as long as Joel Embiid (knee) is sidelined, Drummond holds limited value in standard leagues for anyone simply needing to boost their rebound numbers.

    Suns' Oso Ighodaro: Double-double against Orlando

    Ighodaro amassed 11 points (5-7 FG, 1-1 FT), 12 rebounds, one assist and two steals across 30 minutes off the bench during Saturday's 113-110 double-overtime victory over the Magic.

    The second-year center recorded his first career double-double two games prior to the All-Star break, and he didn't wait long to deliver his second one. Ighodaro is finding a bit of a groove of late, and over his last four games he's averaging 9.8 points, 7.0 boards, 3.0 assists, 1.0 steals and 0.8 blocks in 22.0 minutes.

  • Paul Reed C | DET

    Pistons' Paul Reed: Won't start Saturday

    Reed won't start against the Bulls on Saturday.

    With Jalen Duren (suspension) back in the lineup, Reed will retreat to the second unit. The big man has averaged 8.8 points and 4.5 rebounds across 16.5 minutes per game in four appearances off the bench this month.

  • Pelicans' DeAndre Jordan: Starting Saturday

    Jordan will start against the 76ers on Saturday.

    The veteran center hasn't seen game action since Oct. 29 but will join the starting lineup in favor of Bryce McGowens on Saturday. Over two regular-season outings (one start) thus far, Jordan has averaged 4.5 points and 5.0 rebounds in 11.5 minutes per contest.

  • Nets' Nic Claxton: Not listed on report for Sunday

    Claxton (ankle) isn't listed on the injury report for Sunday's game against the Hawks.

    Claxton is set to return from a three-game absence after dealing with a right ankle sprain and right hip soreness of late. As a result, Day'Ron Sharpe is likely to retreat to the bench. Through five February appearances, Claxton has averaged 14.6 points, 5.6 rebounds and 2.8 assists across 25.6 minutes per contest.

  • Warriors' Kristaps Porzingis: Probable for Sunday

    Porzingis (Achilles) is listed as probable for Sunday's game against the Nuggets.

    Porzingis is likely to suit up for a second consecutive contest after making his Warriors debut in Thursday's loss to Boston, during which he supplied 12 points (5-9 FG, 2-5 3Pt), one rebound, one assist and one block over 17 minutes off the bench. If he's cleared to play, the big man is expected to see a bump in minutes with the second unit, according to Sam Gordon of the San Francisco Chronicle.

  • Mavericks' Daniel Gafford: Managing ankle injury

    Gafford is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Pacers due to right ankle injury management.

    Gafford has been managing a right ankle injury since mid-January and is in jeopardy of missing Sunday's game. Marvin Bagley would be the top candidate to start at center and Dwight Powell would have an elevated role off the bench if Gafford is unable to play. Gafford has averaged 8.6 points, 6.4 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 1.5 blocks over 23.5 minutes per game over his last 10 outings.

  • Myles Turner C | MIL

    Bucks' Myles Turner: Questionable versus Toronto

    Turner (calf) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Raptors.

    Turner has missed the last two games due to right calf soreness that initially flared up during warmups on Feb. 12. While he was unable to suit up for Friday's win over the Pelicans, the move to questionable suggests he is nearing a return to action. With Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) still without a firm timetable, Turner's potential return would provide a massive boost to a Milwaukee frontcourt currently leaning on Jericho Sims, Kyle Kuzma, Bobby Portis and Ousmane Dieng.

  • Santi Aldama C | MEM

    Grizzlies' Santi Aldama: Won't play Saturday

    Aldama (knee) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Heat.

    Aldama has missed 11 of the Grizzlies' last 13 games due to a right knee injury, and his next chance to play is Monday against the Kings, though there doesn't appear to be a clear timeline for the fifth-year pro's return. Kyle Anderson (knee) and Walter Clayton (calf) should continue to see more minutes for as long as Aldama is sidelined.

  • Yves Missi C | NO

    Pelicans' Yves Missi: Remains out Saturday

    Missi (calf) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the 76ers.

    Missi will miss his third consecutive contest due to a left calf strain, and his next chance to play will come Tuesday against the Warriors. Karlo Matkovic will likely see a bump in playing time due to Missi being sidelined.
