Sharpe finished Tuesday's 125-124 overtime loss to the Celtics with four points (2-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt), six rebounds, one block and one steal in 17 minutes.

Sharpe started at center but saw limited playing time, with Moritz Wagner logging 22 minutes off the bench. Although Sharpe provided three combined steals and blocks, his modest offensive involvement and reduced minutes were disappointing. The distribution of minutes between Brooklyn's centers will be worth monitoring.

Clingan produced nine points (3-4 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 1-4 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist and one block in 26 minutes during Tuesday's 136-129 victory over the Lakers.

It's worth noting Robert Williams double-doubled Tuesday and closed the game in place of Clingan. The 26 minutes were still a season high for Clingan, so it appears there's plenty of room for both big men to be productive even if Williams continues to cut further into Clingan's playing time.

Drummond recorded 10 points (5-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 0-2 FT), eight rebounds and one assist over 14 minutes during Tuesday's 111-97 win over Detroit.

After two straight outings with fewer than 10 minutes of action, Drummond got a bit more run with Karl-Anthony Towns battling foul trouble. Across four games this season, Drummond is averaging 7.0 points, 6.8 rebounds and 1.8 assists in 13.2 minutes.

Aldama (knee) is out for Wednesday's game against the Thunder.

Aldama is still waiting to make his Mavericks debut. His next chance to return from knee surgery comes Friday versus Houston.

Hansen was assigned to the Rip City Remix on Wednesday, the Trail Blazers announced.

With Portland sending him to the G League, Hansen is set for additional developmental reps away from the NBA roster. The move suggests the center won't be part of the Trail Blazers' immediate rotation while he's with the Remix.

Williams racked up 14 points (6-8 FG, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist, one block and two steals across 21 minutes during Tuesday's 136-129 victory over the Lakers.

Williams delivered an efficient performance off the bench, recording a double-double while making six of his eight field-goal attempts. The veteran center also contributed three combined steals and blocks, showcasing his ability to provide fantasy value in limited minutes. However, Donovan Clingan remains Portland's starting center, making Williams' playing time worth monitoring.

Smith registered one point (0-1 FG, 1-4 FT) and four rebounds across six minutes during Tuesday's 111-97 loss to the Knicks.

Smith struggled at the free-throw line and committed four fouls during his brief appearance. The 26-year-old big man was unable to establish much of a role despite Jalen Duren (ankle) being unavailable, with Paul Reed handling the bulk of Detroit's center minutes. Smith remains off the fantasy radar in standard leagues.

Queta provided seven points (3-3 FG, 1-2 FT), three rebounds and two assists across 15 minutes before fouling out of Tuesday's 125-124 overtime win over Brooklyn.

Queta made all three of his field-goal attempts but was limited by foul trouble, picking up six fouls in just 15 minutes. Mitchell Robinson started at center and logged 25 minutes, while Queta played a reserve role. The combination of limited playing time and competition in Boston's frontcourt makes Queta difficult to trust in most fantasy formats.

Wagner amassed 15 points (6-9 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, three assists and two steals in 22 minutes during Tuesday's 125-124 overtime loss to the Celtics.

Wagner delivered his best performance of the young season, establishing season highs in points, assists, steals and minutes. The veteran big man has now scored in double figures in consecutive games, shooting 11-for-17 from the field and 4-for-6 from beyond the arc during that stretch. Wagner remains a reserve behind Day'Ron Sharpe, but his recent offensive production could help him earn additional playing time in Brooklyn's frontcourt.

The Warriors are exploring potential trades involving Porzingis (personal), who remains away from the team indefinitely while dealing with ongoing health concerns, Anthony Slater of ESPN.com reports.

Porzingis is reportedly contemplating his future in basketball as he continues to battle health issues that have plagued him for nearly two years. Golden State isn't expecting the veteran center to rejoin the team anytime soon, and his contract structure could make him an attractive trade piece despite the uncertainty surrounding his playing future. With no timetable for his return and retirement potentially on the table, Porzingis remains a highly speculative fantasy stash, even in leagues with injured reserve spots.
