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

Jokic has played in all but six games for Denver this season while staying healthy and available for his team for the majority of the 2024-25 campaign. However, if he's ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Kings, the Nuggets will likely have to lean on DeAndre Jordan and Zeke Nnaji (ankle) to pick up the slack, especially if Aaron Gordon (ankle) is also unable to play.

The Mavericks could shut down Davis (adductor) for the rest of the 2024-25 season, Shams Charania of ESPN reported Tuesday during his appearance on "The Pat McAfee Show."

Charania's report isn't an official update, but the Mavericks have thus far been vague about where Davis stands in his recovery from the left adductor strain he sustained in his team debut Feb. 8, with the team merely noting shortly after the All-Star break that he was "making good progress." The Mavericks were dealt another brutal blow Tuesday, when star point guard Kyrie Irving (knee) was diagnosed with a torn ACL, which will keep him out for the remainder of the season and quite likely, a large portion of the 2025-26 campaign. Rather than pushing Davis for a late-season return to an injury-ravaged roster that no longer seems to have aspirations for a deep playoff run, the Mavericks could be inclined to hold the superstar big man out so that he can head into 2025-26 in optimal health.

Ware (knee) will not play Wednesday against the Cavaliers.

Ware will miss a second straight game due to a knee sprain. During Monday's 106-90 win over the Wizards, Kevin Love started in Ware's place and played 12 minutes, while all of Kyle Anderson, Pelle Larsson and Haywood Highsmith saw extra playing time off the bench.

The Raptors converted Robinson from a two-way contract to a standard one-year deal.

Toronto will bring Jared Rhoden aboard to fill Robinson's vacated two-way slot. Since he initially joined Toronto on a 10-day contract in January, Robinson has appeared in 17 games while averaging 5.5 points, 4.3 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 15.6 minutes per contest.

Adams (ankle) isn't listed on Houston's injury report for Tuesday's game against the Pacers.

It looks like Adams will suit up for the second night of a back-to-back set, but he was also omitted from the injury report for Monday's loss to the Thunder and didn't see any action, even with Alperen Sengun (back) sidelined. Adams appeared in nine of Houston's 13 contests in February, averaging 14.9 minutes per game.

Landale is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Pacers with left knee soreness.

Landale drew a start Monday against the Thunder, finishing with six points, three rebounds and one assist in 21 minutes. The Rockets will be getting a healthy Alperen Sengun back in the lineup Tuesday, however, along with several others.

Sengun (back) is not listed on Houston's injury report for Tuesday's game against the Pacers.

After sitting out Monday's loss to the Thunder, Sengun, Amen Thompson (shoulder) and Dillon Brooks (knee) will all be available for the second half of Houston's back-to-back set. Over his last seven appearances, Sengun has averaged 20.0 points, 11.9 rebounds, 4.1 assists and 1.0 blocks in 32.4 minutes per game.

Edey provided 15 points (6-8 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, two assists and one block across 27 minutes during Monday's 132-130 loss to the Hawks.

Jaren Jackson left this game early with an ankle sprain, and it's unclear if he'll be forced to miss additional time. If Jackson does end up missing some action, Edey could have a higher floor in fantasy formats. The rookie center has been pretty quiet lately, averaging 7.6 points, 7.5 rebounds and 1.4 blocks over his last 10 games.

Porzingis (illness) went through practice Tuesday, Souichi Terada of MassLive.com reports.

Porzingis has missed the last two games for the Celtics with an illness but could be trending toward returning to the floor Wednesday against the Trail Blazers. If the veteran big man can't play against Portland, Boston will likely turn to Al Horford to shoulder the load in the frontcourt.

Capela totaled 11 points (4-7 FG, 3-6 FT), four rebounds, one assist, one steal and one block in 16 minutes in Monday's 132-130 win over the Grizzlies.

Capela had a solid impact on offense Monday, scoring in double figures for the first time since returning from a back injury Jan. 28. The 30-year-old had been the unquestioned starting center for the Hawks from 2020 through the first 41 games this season, but he's taken a back seat to Onyeka Okongwu. In 10 games coming off the bench, Capela is averaging 8.1 points and 7.1 rebounds in 17.4 minutes.
