Wembanyama registered 17 points (7-16 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 13 rebounds, four assists and two blocks over 36 minutes during Wednesday's 116-103 loss to the Celtics.

It was a relatively quiet night on the offensive side of the floor for Wembanyama, but the 2023 first-overall pick still managed to grab a team-high 13 rebounds while registering his 28th double-double of the regular season. Wembanyama has a chance to take his offensive game to another level following the All-Star break once new acquisition De'Aaron Fox is fully acclimated to his new team.

Porzingis tallied 29 points (10-16 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 6-9 FT), six rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 37 minutes during Wednesday's 116-103 win over San Antonio.

Porzingis was the Celtics' No. 2 option behind Jayson Tatum for a second straight game due to the absence of Jaylen Brown (knee). Porzingis' 29 points were his second-most of the season and second-highest in the game behind Tatum (32). Porzingis has averaged 20.1 points on 49.6 percent shooting (including 45.3 percent from three on 5.9 3PA/G), 7.4 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1.7 blocks over 30.1 minutes per game since the beginning of January.

Sengun (back) is active and starting Wednesday against the Suns, Ben DuBose of USA Today reports.

Sengun was forced to leave Sunday's game against Toronto due to back spasms and was listed as questionable for Wednesday's game. However, he's been given the green light to face Phoenix.

Len is available for and will play in Wednesday's game against the Jazz, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.

Len signed with the Lakers on Tuesday and will be active for Wednesday's contest. He'll compete with Jaxson Hayes and Trey Jemison for center minutes the rest of the season. In 36 appearances with the Kings during 2024-25, Len averaged 1.4 points and 1.8 rebounds across 7.2 minutes.

Williams (knee) is out for Wednesday's game against the Nuggets, Sean Highkin of Rip City Radio 620 Portland reports.

Williams will miss Portland's final game before the All-Star break Wednesday. The veteran big man's next chance to play comes Feb. 20 against the Lakers. Donovan Clingan should dominate the center minutes against Denver in the absence of Deandre Ayton (calf).

Clingan is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Nuggets, Sean Highkin of Rip City Radio 620 Portland reports.

With Deandre Ayton (calf) out Wednesday, Clingan will join Portland's starting lineup. The rookie first-rounder has averaged 9.9 rebounds, 6.8 points, 2.9 blocks and 0.7 steals in 22.1 minutes across 10 games as a starter this season, granting him boosted fantasy value.

Claxton (ankle) is available for Wednesday's game against the 76ers, Meghan Triplett of YES Network reports.

Claxton was iffy to suit up Wednesday, but he'll play through an ankle sprain in the Nets' final outing prior to the All-Star break. The 25-year-old's matchup outlook is brightened by the absence of Joel Embiid (knee). Over his last six games, Claxton has averaged 12.7 points, 6.2 rebounds, 2.8 blocks and 1.0 steals in 27.2 minutes.

Vucevic (ankle) is available for Wednesday's game against the Pistons.

As expected, Vucevic has been upgraded from probable to available and will suit up for Chicago's final game before the All-Star break. In February (five games), Vucevic has averaged 12.0 points, 8.4 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 1.0 steals in 30.8 minutes per game.

Nurkic is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against Magic.

With the Hornets missing Mark Williams (not injury related) and Moussa Diabate (eye) on Wednesday, Nurkic will draw the start at center while operating with a minutes restriction in his team debut. Nurkic averaged 9.5 rebounds, 8.8 points, 1.9 assists, 1.0 steals and 0.7 blocks in 24.3 minutes over 23 games as a starter with the Suns this season.

Holmes is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Pacers.

Alex Sarr is returning from an ankle injury Wednesday, pushing Holmes to the bench. Holmes has averaged 4.0 rebounds, 3.9 points, 0.8 assists and 0.5 blocks in 11.5 minutes over 12 games off the Wizards' bench this season.
