Adebayo amassed 24 points (8-15 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 8-12 FT), six rebounds and two steals in 34 minutes during Saturday's 121-114 loss to Orlando.

Adebayo was one of three Miami players who scored at least 20 points in this game, with Tyler Herro and Terry Rozier being the others. The star big man continues to be extremely consistent on both ends of the court, posting three games with at least 20 points and four double-doubles across his last six appearances. Expect Adebayo to enjoy a slight bump in fantasy upside if Jimmy Butler (illness) remains sidelined for Monday's game against the Nets.

Bol (knee) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Pistons.

Bol is dealing with a left knee contusion and will be unavailable for the Suns on Saturday. Bol hasn't been part of the Suns rotation recently, so his absence shouldn't have much of a rotational impact. His next chance to play will come Monday at Denver.

Wagner (knee) has been ruled out for the remainder of Saturday's game against Miami, Cody Taylor of USA Today reports. He didn't record any counting stats over two minutes prior to exiting.

Wagner sustained a non-contact left knee injury and will undergo further testing to determine the specifics and severity of the injury. Jonathan Isaac and Caleb Houstan are the likeliest candidates for increased roles sans Wagner. Wagner's next chance to play will come Monday against Boston.

Carter was ejected from Saturday's game against the Heat after being assessed two technical fouls in the second quarter. He finished the game with five points (2-5 FG, 1-2 3Pt), a rebound, an assist and a block across 13 minutes.

The Magic saw Moritz Wagner (knee) depart earlier in the game with a non-contact knee injury, and now Carter is gone, so they'll be extremely thin in terms of depth at center. This means Goga Bitadze and Jonathan Isaac will see even more minutes in the frontcourt.

Looney is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Timberwolves.

Head coach Steve Kerr has decided to tweak the Warriors' frontcourt for this matchup against the Timberwolves, meaning Looney will return to the bench while Trayce Jackson-Davis gets the start at center. Looney's numbers haven't experienced many changes regardless of his role, though, and he's not expected to have a lot of fantasy upside in most formats.

Jackson-Davis is in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Timberwolves.

Head coach Steve Kerr has decided to tweak the Warriors' frontcourt for this matchup against the Timberwolves, so Jackson-Davis will get the nod over Kevon Looney at center. The second-year big man is averaging 8.3 points, 5.4 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 0.7 steals per game when deployed in a starting role this season.

Wagner was helped off the floor during Saturday's game against the Heat after sustaining a non-contact knee injury, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reports.

Wagner wasn't able to put much, if any, weight on his left leg while being helped back to the locker room. Considering the non-contact nature of the injury, Wagner should be considered doubtful to return. Jonathan Isaac and Caleb Houstan could see more action while Wagner is sidelined while Wendell Carter could see more minutes at center.

Drummond is in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Cavaliers.

The 76ers will be without Joel Embiid (knee) for this contest, so Drummond will fill in for him, as he's often done this season. Drummond is averaging 8.7 points and 10.3 boards per game in a starting role (13 appearances) in 2024-25.

Sabonis (back) is available for Saturday's game versus the Lakers.

Sabonis has been upgraded from questionable to available Saturday despite dealing with a back contusion. The star big man is averaging 23.6 points, 13.3 rebounds and 6.0 assists in 35.4 minutes across his last 10 outings.

Davis (elbow) will play in Saturday's game against the Kings, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.

The writing was on the wall for Davis to play Saturday, as he was upgraded from questionable to probable hours before tipoff. Davis has logged a double-double in five straight games, averaging 30.4 points, 13.6 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 3.4 blocks across 35.6 minutes during that stretch.
