Holmgren (rest) will be available for Wednesday's game against Brooklyn.

Holmgren was held out for rest Monday against the Timberwolves, but he'll be back in the lineup alongside Isaiah Hartenstein (face). In his last five outings, Holmgren has posted averages of 13.2 points, 6.8 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 3.4 blocks in 26.6 minutes per game.

Williams (foot) is available for Tuesday's game against the Warriors.

As expected, Williams will be back in the mix after resting for the front end of this back-to-back set. Williams' return will likely push Jusuf Nurkic to the bench, and Moussa Diabate may find minutes hard to come by. Williams is averaging just 10.0 points, 7.0 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 1.0 steals over his last two games.

Powell (hip) has been upgraded to questionable for Tuesday's game against the Lakers.

Powell was previously listed as doubtful for this contest and has been sidelined since Jan. 17. With how thin the Mavericks are in the frontcourt, his potential return could be a big boost for Dallas' interior.

Collins (shin) is probable for Wednesday's game against the Clippers.

Collins is managing right shin pain, but he's likely to be available Wednesday. The veteran big man is primed for an increase in fantasy value as well, considering Nikola Vucevic (calf) is doubtful and Jalen Smith (concussion) is out. Collins posted a full stat line with 19 points, five rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal in 28 minutes during Monday's start against the 76ers.

Vucevic (calf) is doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Clippers.

After missing Monday's win over the 76ers, Vucevic is not expected to return from right calf tightness Wednesday. With Jalen Smith out with a concussion against Los Angeles, Zach Collins (shin) appears to be set to make another spot start at center after joining the first unit Monday.

Drummond ended with 10 points (1-3 FG, 8-8 FT), eight rebounds and one steal over 14 minutes during Monday's 142-110 loss to the Bulls.

Drummond has been out of favor with the 76ers lately, but Guerschon Yabusele suffered a corneal abrasion Monday and Joel Embiid (knee) is weighing treatment options. Therefore, fantasy managers will want to monitor the position battle between Adem Bona and Drummond going forward if Embiid and Yabusele are forced to miss additional time.

Collins produced 19 points (6-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 6-6 FT), five rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal across 28 minutes during Monday's 142-110 win over the 76ers.

Nikola Vucevic missed this game with a calf strain and is presumably day-to-day -- he was initially probable before being ruled out. Collins has been productive in the past when the minutes are there, making him a potential pickup in fantasy formats if Vucevic is forced to miss additional time. Through four games with Chicago, Collins holds averages of 8.5 points, 5.3 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 0.8 steals in 18.3 minutes.

Nurkic notched 12 points (4-6 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), nine rebounds, three assists, one block and three steals in 27 minutes during Monday's 130-88 loss to Sacramento.

Mark Williams was held out for rest on the front end of the back-to-back set, though he's expected back Tuesday. As a veteran on a rebuilding team, Nurkic may have a tough time securing a consistent role on a nightly basis with Moussa Diabate waiting in the wings.

Sabonis totaled seven points (3-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 10 rebounds and seven assists across 27 minutes during Monday's 130-88 win over the Hornets.

This was a very quiet game by Sabonis' standards, but the lopsided score didn't help things as he was limited to 27 minutes. Over his last 10 outings, Sabonis has cooled off with averages of 16.3 points, 14.3 rebounds, 5.1 assists and 0.6 three-pointers.

Adams (ankle) is available for Tuesday's game against the Bucks.

Adams is no longer on the injury report after missing Saturday's game against the Jazz, the second leg of a back-to-back set. The Rockets will play against the Spurs on Wednesday, so there's a chance Adams could miss that game if this trend continues.
