Holmes (shoulder) has been listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Celtics.

Holmes is trending toward returning to the floor for the Wizards on Sunday in Boston after missing Thursday's game against the Magic due to a shoulder issue. The veteran big man is averaging 7.4 points, 5.7 rebounds and 1.4 assists per game while shooting 64.7 percent from the field.

Porzingis (nose) has been cleared to play in Sunday's game against the Wizards.

Porzingis took an elbow to the face during Friday's game against the Suns, which resulted in him missing the rest of the game. However, he'll be ready to return to the floor on Sunday against the Wizards. The veteran big man is averaging 19.3 points, 6.9 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.6 blocks per game while shooting 48.5 percent from the floor and a career-high 40.4 percent from beyond the arc.

Lively (ankle) is listed as probable for Saturday's game versus the Clippers.

Lively is expected to return to action Saturday after sitting out the first leg of Dallas' back-to-back due to a right ankle injury. Although Lively started in his latest appearance, he only logged 16 minutes.

Gafford (knee) has been listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Clippers.

Gafford has played the last three games for the Mavericks after returning from a 21-game absence due to a knee issue. However, he is in danger of missing Saturday's game in Los Angeles, which would likely result in Dereck Lively (ankle) seeing extended minutes in the frontcourt along with Kai Jones and Dwight Powell.

Poeltl (rest) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Nets.

Poeltl will sit out once again for the Raptors on Sunday, continuing the trend of the talented big man resting every other game. Orlando Robinson and Jonathan Mogbo will likely get more minutes on the floor in Brooklyn.

Davis (adductor) has been listed as probable for Saturday's game against the Clippers.

After missing Friday's game against the Clippers, Davis will return to the floor to face Los Angeles on Saturday in the second game of a back-to-back against Kawhi Leonard and company. Since returning from a long absence due to the adductor injury, the superstar big man is averaging 18.2 points, 8.4 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 1.8 blocks per game while shooting 44 percent from the field.

Robinson (ankle) won't play in Saturday's game versus the Hawks, Kristian Winfield of the New York Daily News reports.

Robinson is listed out due to left ankle surgery injury recovery, so his absence Saturday should be viewed mainly as a maintenance day. He'll likely be back in action for the second leg of a back-to-back set Sunday versus the Suns.

Sharpe (knee) is out for Sunday's game versus the Raptors, Sharif Phillips-Keaton of USA Today reports.

Sharpe will miss his sixth straight contest Sunday due to a right knee sprain. While there is no timetable for Sharpe's return, his next chance to suit up is Tuesday's matchup with New Orleans.

Duren provided 21 points (9-11 FG, 3-4 FT), 18 rebounds, six assists, four blocks and one steal across 36 minutes during Friday's 117-105 victory over Toronto.

Even though the impressive double-double is the first thing that jumps out, as Duren grabbed his third-best rebounding output of the campaign, it's hard not to look at his contributions in other categories, mainly assists and blocks. Duren is one of the best two-way big men in the NBA and is ending the regular season on a strong note. He's recorded five double-doubles over his last six outings, averaging 16.5 points, 11.8 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 1.2 blocks per game in that stretch.

Sabonis closed Friday's 125-102 win over the Hornets with 24 points (9-16 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 6-7 FT), 11 rebounds and seven assists across 27 minutes.

Sabonis was dominant during this 27-minute cameo and delivered an impressive stat line, ending just three assists away from recording a triple-double and making his presence felt on both ends of the court. The star big man has finished three dimes away from a triple-double in his last two appearances, but at least he extended his double-double streak to five contests. He's currently leading the NBA in double-doubles with 57, ahead of Nikola Jokic (56), Ivica Zubac (54) and Karl-Anthony Towns (54).
