  • Celtics' Neemias Queta: Used sparingly again in win

    Queta provided four points (2-4 FG) and three rebounds in six minutes during Wednesday's 132-102 win over the Suns.

    Queta's role continues to underwhelm, with him now having played fewer than 10 minutes in five straight games. It's been an up-and-down season for Queta, who at one point played as the primary backup center. On the whole, there has been very little to get excited about, with Queta averaging 4.9 points and 3.8 rebounds in just 13.8 minutes per game.

    Wizards' Alex Sarr: Does it all as leading scorer

    Sarr finished with 24 points (10-17 FG, 4-7 3Pt), seven rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal in 31 minutes during Wednesday's 119-114 victory over the 76ers.

    Sarr put his mark on nearly every aspect of Wednesday's contest, leading all players in scoring and blocks while connecting on a team-high-tying mark from three and contributing on the glass. Sarr posted his second -highest scoring total of the year, falling behind only his season-high 34 points tallied March 15.

  • Al Horford C | GS

    Celtics' Al Horford: Starting sans Tatum

    Horford is part of Boston's starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Suns, Sean Grande of NBC Sports Boston reports.

    Horford will draw the start Wednesday in place of the injured Jayson Tatum (ankle). Horford is averaging 9.6 points, 6.5 rebounds and 2.4 assists across 29.7 minutes per game as a starter this season.

  • Nuggets' DeAndre Jordan: Back to bench Wednesday

    Jordan is not in the Nuggets' starting lineup against the Bucks on Wednesday.

    Jordan was in the Nuggets' starting five for the last two games, but he'll retreat to the bench Wednesday due to the return of Nikola Jokic (ankle). Across those two starts, Jordan averaged 10.5 points on 69.2 percent shooting, 16.0 rebounds, 5.5 assists and 1.0 steals over 34.5 minutes per contest.

  • Nikola Jokic C | DEN

    Nuggets' Nikola Jokic: Gets green light for Wednesday

    Jokic (ankle) is available to play in Wednesday's game against the Bucks.

    The star center will be back in action after a five-game absence due to a left ankle impingement, though he could face some light restrictions with his workload. Prior to his recent absence, Jokic was performing at an MVP level through his first eight appearances of March, averaging 29.3 points, 13.6 rebounds, 9.0 assists, 1.6 steals, 1.4 three-pointers and 0.9 blocks in 39.8 minutes per game over eight contests.

  • Raptors' Orlando Robinson: Starting Wednesday

    Robinson is part of the first unit for Wednesday's game against the Nets, Coty Wiles of RaptorsRepublic.com reports.

    Jakob Poeltl (rest) is out, and Colin Castleton wasn't brought back after his 10-day contract expired, so it'll be Robinson manning the center position Wednesday. In four starts with the Raptors, Robinson is averaging 9.8 points, 7.5 rebounds and 3.0 assists across 25.5 minutes.

  • Grizzlies' Marvin Bagley: Ruled out against Oklahoma City

    Bagley (concussion) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Thunder.

    Bagley will miss a second straight game for the Grizzlies as he works his way back from a concussion. The next opportunity for him to get back on the floor for Memphis will be Saturday against the Lakers.

  • Bulls' Nikola Vucevic: Working through midback strain

    Vucevic is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Lakers due to a right midback strain.

    Vucevic missed seven games spanning across February and March due to a left calf strain. He's managed to play in the Bulls' last eight contests (including seven starts), and over that span he has averaged 14.5 points, 8.9 rebounds and 3.5 assist over 28.0 minutes. It appears that Vucevic is working through a new issue, and if he were unable to play Thursday, Jalen Smith and Zach Collins would be the top candidates to take the starting center spot in the Bulls' lineup.

  • Anthony Davis PF | WAS

    Mavericks' Anthony Davis: Questionable against Orlando

    Davis (adductor) has been listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Magic.

    After missing Tuesday's loss to the Knicks, Davis has a chance to play Thursday in Orlando. The superstar big man finished with 12 points, six rebounds, three assists, one steal and one block in the win over the Nets on Monday after missing 18 straight games for Dallas with an adductor injury.

  • 76ers' Andre Drummond: No timetable for return

    Head coach Nick Nurse indicated Wednesday that Drummond (toe) does not have a timetable on a return, Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com reports.

    Drummond has been out of action since March 12 due to a left toe sprain that has bothered him since late December. With no clear indication on a return and Joel Embiid (knee) out for the season, Guerschon Yabusele will continue to start at center while Adem Bona serves as his backup.
