Jokic (illness) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Clippers.

This update comes from the official injury report, so fantasy managers don't have much information to operate with just yet. Presumably, the Nuggets will re-evaluate the big man closer to warmups before a decision is made. Dario Saric started in Jokic's place Tuesday against Boston but had zero points (0-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt), four assists, one rebound and one block across 17 minutes.

Sarr is questionable for Wednesday's game against the 76ers due to an illness.

The rookie finished Tuesday's blowout loss to the Rockets with only two points, his fewest since his NBA debut against Boston on Oct. 24. Carlton Carrington (back) and Kyle Kuzma (calf) are also questionable, while Marvin Bagley (knee), Malcolm Brogdon (foot) and Jordan Poole (hip) have all been ruled out already.

Jackson-Davis posted 19 points (9-12 FG, 1-1 FT), seven rebounds, one block and two steals across 35 minutes during Tuesday's 114-98 loss to the Heat.

Jackson-Davis produced a season-high 19 points just two days after a scoreless dud against the Kings in 18 minutes. He remains a dicey late-round fantasy option for his sporadic production and is averaging 9.8 points, 7.8 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1.0 steals and 0.8 blocks over his last five games.

Sharpe is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Pistons due to an illness, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.

Given that he's a late addition to the injury report, Sharpe may face an uphill battle for getting cleared to play ahead of Wednesday's 7:30 p.m. ET tipoff. The timing of the illness is unfortunate for Sharpe, who posted 16 points (8-13 FG, 0-1 3Pt), 13 rebounds and five assists over 22 minutes in Monday's loss to the Pacers in what was arguably his best performance of the season. If Sharpe is unable to play Wednesday, Noah Clowney could see more time as a reserve center behind Nic Claxton, which would open up more minutes at the forward spots.

Davis supplied 21 points (7-18 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 7-9 FT), 12 rebounds, three assists and two blocks across 35 minutes during Tuesday's 118-97 loss to the Mavericks.

The veteran big led the Lakers in points and boards while producing his fifth straight double-double, and his 26th of the season -- third in the NBA behind Domantas Sabonis (32) and Karl-Anthony Towns (30). Davis' double-double streak might be at 13 games were it not for an ankle injury he suffered Christmas Day against the Warriors, and over those last 13 appearances, he's averaging 24.2 points, 12.8 rebounds, 3.7 assists, 2.6 blocks and 1.3 steals while shooting 50.0 percent from the floor.

Turner is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Bulls due to an illness.

Turner was a late addition to the injury report after presumably waking up feeling under the weather. The center hasn't missed a game since Nov. 18 and has been remarkably durable this campaign. If he's unable to go, the Pacers could turn to Obi Toppin, Jarace Walker and Thomas Bryant to take on extra minutes out of the frontcourt.

Reid notched 13 points (6-16 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 0-1 FT), 12 rebounds, one assist and one block across 23 minutes during Tuesday's 104-97 win over the Pelicans.

Reid had a strong showing and recorded his first double-double since Oct. 24. His overall numbers have slightly decreased compared to the 2023-24 season, and while he remains a reliable option in fantasy due to his heavy workload and usage rate off the bench, his upside is currently capped. Last season, Reid shot a career-high 41.4 percent from deep which led to 2.1 made three-pointers per game. This season, Reid is shooting 35 percent from deep and making only 1.7 threes a night.

Kessler totaled 21 points (8-11 FG, 5-6 FT), 10 rebounds, three blocks and one steal in 30 minutes during Tuesday's 124-121 loss to the Hawks.

Kessler had another solid two-way display Tuesday, recording a third straight double-double and reaching that feat for the fifth time over his last six contests. The big man remains one of the best two-way centers in the NBA, and he's averaging 12.3 points, 12.5 rebounds and 1.3 blocks per game over that six-game stretch.

Capela ended Tuesday's 124-121 victory over the Jazz with 18 points (9-11 FG), six rebounds and three blocks over 25 minutes.

Capela was efficient from the floor and posted his highest scoring output since Nov. 22, when he finished with 21 points and 11 rebounds in a loss to the Bulls. That said, this was the first time he eclipsed the 10-point mark in January and just the third time he had done it over his last 10 games. He remains valuable in fantasy, but there's no doubt his upside is not what it once was.

Adebayo closed Tuesday's 114-98 victory over the Warriors with 19 points (9-14 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 0-1 FT), nine rebounds, five assists, one block and two steals across 30 minutes.

Although the Warriors put up a fight in the paint behind Trayce Jackson-Davis and Draymond Green, Adebayo received great support from his teammates and was able to post a solid total. The team was likely fatigued after a challenging double-overtime loss to the Kings on Monday night, and although Adebayo finished a bit below his usual scoring average, he showed no adverse effects from the back-to-back.
