Lopez finished Wednesday's 112-102 win over the Hornets with 14 points (4-8 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and three rebounds over 30 minutes.

The Bucks were without Giannis Antetokounmpo, who was a late scratch due to left calf soreness Wednesday. Lopez got Milwaukee's offense off and running, going 4-for-5 from three-point range in the first quarter. The veteran center wasn't able to maintain that level of output over the last three quarters of the game, but that's when Damian Lillard (29 points) and the returning Bobby Portis (23) were able to pace the Bucks' offense. Lopez has connected on at least three three-pointers in four of his last six outings, and since the beginning of January he has averaged 11.6 points, 4.4 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 1.9 blocks over 31.6 minutes per game.

Jackson-Davis is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Thunder due to right knee soreness.

Jackson-Davis is a late addition to the injury report Wednesday for the opening leg of a back-to-back set. Quinten Post will start at the center position, and Kevon Looney would operate as Post's primary backup if Jackson-Davis can't go.

Sarr (ankle) is now listed as out for Wednesday's game against the Nets.

Sarr was initially ruled out for the contest, then was upgraded to available on the 6:30 ET injury report before ultimately being ruled out again on the 7:30 ET report. Richaun Holmes and Tristan Vukcevic should handle most of the center minutes Wednesday. Sarr's next chance to play will come Friday against Cleveland.

Holmes is part of the Wizards' starting lineup for Wednesday's game against Brooklyn.

Holmes will get the first crack at replacing Jonas Valanciunas (recently traded) in the starting lineup after Valanciunas was dealt to Sacramento earlier Wednesday. It'll be Holmes' first start of the season.

Sharpe (hamstring) has been cleared to play in Wednesday's game against the Wizards, Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports.

After filling up the stat sheet defensively in Tuesday's win against the Rockets, finishing with three blocks and two steals, Sharpe will play in the second game of a back-to-back Wednesday against Washington. The 23-year-old big man is averaging a career-high 7.9 points per game this season to go along with 6.1 rebounds and 1.5 assists per contest while shooting 50 percent from the field for Brooklyn.

Adams (ankle) is doubtful for Thursday's game against the Timberwolves, Danielle Lerner of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Adams is unlikely to play Thursday due to left ankle soreness, an issue the veteran big man has managed lately. The Rockets should lean heavily on Alperen Sengun from the starting lineup if Adams is ruled out ahead of Thursday's action, and Jock Landale should take over as the top backup big man off Houston's bench against Minnesota.

Clarke (back) will play in Wednesday's game against the Raptors.

After missing Monday's win against the Spurs, Clarke will return to the floor Wednesday on the road in Toronto. The veteran big man is averaging a career-low 7.8 points, 5.0 rebounds and 1.0 assists per game, shooting 61.5 percent from the floor.

Sarr (ankle) has been upgraded to available for Wednesday's game against the Nets.

Sarr hasn't played since spraining his ankle Jan. 27 against the Pistons, and he was initially listed as out for Wednesday's game, which would've marked a fifth straight absence. However, the rookie has been surprisingly upgraded to available after Washington traded Jonas Valanciunas to the Kings on Wednesday afternoon. Sarr will likely face restrictions, so Richaun Holmes may still see a sizable role off the bench.

Boucher (illness) is available for Wednesday's game against Memphis, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.

After being listed as questionable with an illness, Boucher is good to go following a one-game absence Tuesday against the Knicks. The veteran big man could be primed for an amplified role Wednesday, with Jakob Poeltl (hip) sitting on the sidelines. Over his last five outings, Boucher has averaged 13.2 points, 3.4 rebounds, 0.4 steals and 2.4 threes in 17.8 minutes.

Drummond (toe) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Heat, Kyle Neubeck of AllPHLY.com reports.

Drummond will miss an eighth straight game Wednesday for the 76ers as he continues to deal with a toe injury on his left foot. Up-and-comer Guerschon Yabusele will likely continue to see an increased workload with the veteran big man still on the mend.
