NBA Player News

Horford (toe) is not on the injury report for Monday's game against the Warriors, Jay King of The Athletic reports.

Horford missed the loss to the Hawks on Saturday, the second leg of a back-to-back set, but the veteran big man will be available Monday. As has been the trend of late, Horford could come off the bench Monday, as Jayson Tatum and Kristaps Porzingis are expected to start in the frontcourt.

Zubac (back) is available for Sunday's game against the Lakers, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.

Zubac was one of several regulars who were deemed questionable for this rivalry matchup, but the big man will give it a go and suit up Sunday. He's been an excellent two-way threat for the Clippers, averaging 14.0 points, 12.6 rebounds and 1.9 blocks per game since the beginning of January.

Landale (personal) is not on the injury report for Monday's game against the Pistons.

Landale missed Saturday's win over the Trail Blazers due to a personal problem, but the big man will suit up and be available Monday. That said, he essentially provides depth in the frontcourt, so he's not going to provide a lot of fantasy value even when available.

Ayton (back) is available for Sunday's game against the Bulls, Danny Marang of 1080 The Fan Portland reports.

Ayton was deemed probable earlier Sunday for the second leg of this back-to-back set, and he'll end up starting due to the absences of Robert Williams (rest) and Donovan Clingan (ankle). Ayton is averaging 9.6 points, 9.1 rebounds and 1.4 assists per game across seven contests since the beginning of January.

Wembanyama racked up 21 points (8-18 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 2-6 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists and one block across 30 minutes during Sunday's 128-107 loss to Miami.

Wembanyama has now recorded 19 double-doubles this season, seven of which have come in his last eight appearances. The budding superstar is averaging 22.5 points, 12.4 rebounds, 3.9 blocks, 3.2 assists, 1.2 steals, and 2.8 threes across his last 10 contests. Wembanyama remains the league leader in blocks by a wide margin with his 4.0 rejections per contest.

Kessler (rest) is available for Monday's game against the Pelicans, Ben Anderson of KSL News Salt Lake City reports.

Kessler received rest in Friday's loss to the Pelicans, but he'll be available for Monday's rematch. His return will give the Jazz a much-needed boost on both ends of the court, and it'll likely push Drew Eubanks back to the bench.

Collins (hip) is out for Monday's game against the Pelicans, Ben Anderson of KSL News Salt Lake City reports.

Collins will miss an eighth straight game while dealing with a hip problem, and the loss of the veteran forward shrinks the team's depth considerably in the frontcourt since the Jazz are also missing Lauri Markkanen (back) and Micah Potter (illness/G League). Collins' next chance to play will come against the Thunder on Wednesday.

Edey (nose) is not on the injury report and will be available for Monday's game against the Timberwolves.

Edey exited Friday's win over the Spurs after receiving a blow to his nose, but the big man will be fine and should handle his regular workload Monday. Edey is averaging 4.7 points, 5.3 rebounds and 0.7 blocks per game in seven contests since returning to the starting lineup on Jan. 4.

Gobert is questionable for Monday's game against the Grizzlies due to a right ankle sprain.

Gobert is a new addition to the injury report with an ankle problem, and the questionable tag suggests the Timberwolves will decide on his status closer to Monday's 2:30 p.m. tipoff. If Gobert can't go, then Naz Reid would likely move to the starting lineup alongside Julius Randle in the frontcourt. Gobert is averaging 10.2 points and 10.4 rebounds per game this season.

Sharpe (eye) is available for Sunday's game against the Thunder, Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Sharpe was added to the injury report earlier Sunday with an eye injury, but the big man will suit up and should see minutes off the bench. He's averaging 7.5 points, 6.3 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 0.7 steals in 17.4 minutes per game this season.
