  • Rockets' Alperen Sengun: Absent from injury report

    Sengun (back) is off the injury report for Wednesday's game against the Lakers.

    After sitting out Houston's past two contests with a back issue, the star big man is ready to roll for Wednesday. Clint Capela should revert back to the No. 2 center spot after drawing a spot start during Monday's meeting with the Lakers. Sengun has averaged 19.5 points, 7.7 rebounds and 3.5 assists in 30.4 minutes per tilt in his last six games, shooting 54.4 percent from the field.

  • Spurs' Victor Wembanyama: Racks up another double-double

    Wembanyama registered 21 points (9-20 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 1-3 FT), 13 rebounds, two assists, four blocks and one steal over 34 minutes during Monday's 119-115 win over the Clippers.

    Wembanyama struggled a bit with his perimeter shot but was otherwise impressive in the victory. He seemed to show no ill effects from the ankle injury that forced a one-game absence last week. Although he underperformed over a two-game span in late February, he's compiled six double-doubles since the brief downturn.

  • Naz Reid C | MIN

    Timberwolves' Naz Reid: Will play Tuesday

    Reid (shoulder) is available for Tuesday's game against the Suns, per Chris Hine of the Minnesota Star Tribune.

    Reid is battling a right shoulder contusion, but the issue won't stop him from playing the first half of Minnesota's back-to-back set. The big man has averaged 12.3 points, 5.0 rebounds and 1.2 assists in 25.4 minutes per game over his last six contests, and Reid should see a bump in usage due to the absence of Anthony Edwards (knee).

  • Lakers' Deandre Ayton: Grabs 11 rebounds in victory

    Ayton amassed seven points (3-6 FG, 1-2 FT), 11 rebounds, one block and one steal over 27 minutes during Monday's 100-92 victory over the Rockets.

    Although his scoring was successfully contained, Ayton had a clear advantage on the glass due to Alperen Sengun (back) being out of commission. The result snapped a short double-double streak that Ayton was building, which was aided by a five-game average of 10.0 rebounds per game.

  • Alex Sarr C | WAS

    Wizards' Alex Sarr: Sitting out Tuesday

    Sarr (hamstring) is out for Tuesday's game against the Pistons.

    Sarr will end up sitting out both legs of this back-to-back set. With how the Wizards have handled the minutes and maintenance days of their key players, fantasy managers should prepare for more headaches down the stretch. Tristan Vukcevic, Anthony Gill and Julian Reese could see a bump in involvement Tuesday.

  • Luke Kornet C | SA

    Spurs' Luke Kornet: Looks poised to play Tuesday

    Spurs head coach Mitch Johnson said Monday that he's optimistic Kornet (knee) will be available for Tuesday's game in Sacramento, Tom Orsborn of the San Antonio Express-News reports.

    Along with Kornet, Johnson also expressed confidence that guard Dylan Harper (calf) would be available Tuesday, which would bring the San Antonio rotation back to full strength. While Kornet was sidelined for Monday's 119-115 win over the Clippers due to a sore right knee, Carter Bryant (21 minutes) saw a slightly heightened role, and Mason Plumlee (six minutes) was added to the rotation as a backup option behind Victor Wembanyama.

  • Knicks' Mitchell Robinson: Iffy for Tuesday

    Robinson (back) is questionable for Tuesday's game against Indiana.

    Robinson was a very late addition to the injury report. Considering the opponent, the Knicks may opt to proceed with caution. Ariel Hukporti could soak up some backup center minutes if Robinson is held out.

  • Clippers' Isaiah Jackson: Fares well off bench

    Jackson supplied 11 points (4-5 FG, 3-4 FT), one rebound, one block and one steal in 17 minutes during Monday's 119-115 loss to the Spurs.

    Jackson turned some heads in limited minutes Monday, perhaps giving the coaching staff something to think about. Brook Lopez has been solid for the most part as Los Angeles' starting center, but he posted a major dud in 24 minutes Monday. Keep an eye on Jackson in case he builds on this momentum.

  • Brook Lopez C | LAC

    Clippers' Brook Lopez: Invisible in defeat

    Lopez racked up three points (1-2 FG, 1-1 3Pt), one rebound, one assist, two blocks and one steal in 24 minutes during Monday's 119-115 loss to the Spurs.

    This was a major dud for Lopez, but he's been solid enough to warrant another chance from his fantasy managers. Over his last eight games, he's producing ninth-round value in nine-category formats with averages of 10.0 points, 3.1 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 1.4 blocks and 1.4 three-pointers.

  • Clint Capela C | HOU

    Rockets' Clint Capela: Nearly double-doubles

    Capela closed with nine points (3-4 FG, 3-5 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and one steal across 26 minutes during Monday's 100-92 loss to the Lakers.

    Alperen Sengun (back) sat this contest out, allowing Capela to grab a fill-in start at center. Capela has been used sparingly by the Rockets this season. However, if Sengun continues to miss time, Capela will be a viable streaming option for rebounds, defensive stats and field-goal percentage.
