  • Magic's Wendell Carter: Downgraded to questionable

    Carter is questionable for Monday's game against the Bucks with left ankle soreness.

    Carter is likely to test out his ankle before the Magic determine his playing status Monday. Moritz Wagner would likely step into the starting lineup if Carter can't play, with Goga Bitadze figuring to move into the backup center role in this case.

  • Lakers' Deandre Ayton: Good to go Monday

    Ayton (knee) is good to go Monday against the Thunder.

    Ayton is set to return to action after being a late scratch Saturday against the Thunder. With Luka Doncic (hamstring) sidelined, Ayton could see a short-term boost in usage.

  • Clippers' Isaiah Jackson: Good to go for Tuesday

    Jackson will be available to debut Tuesday against Houston, Farbod Esnaashari of On SI reports.

    Jackson was acquired from the Pacers at the trade deadline and will likely step into a rotation role right away. Brook Lopez is expected to start at center, but Jackson could be penciled in as his backup.

  • Kings' Domantas Sabonis: Won't play Monday

    Sabonis (back) is out for Monday against the Pelicans.

    Sabonis will be sidelined for a third straight game, but he continues to be listed as day-to-day. Presumably, the Kings are going to move forward with extreme caution. In the meantime, Maxime Raynaud and Dylan Cardwell are expected to hold down the fort at center.

  • Rudy Gobert C | MIN

    Timberwolves' Rudy Gobert: Steady campaign continues

    Gobert ended with 10 points (5-7 FG, 0-1 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and one block over 30 minutes during Sunday's 115-96 loss to the Clippers.

    Gobert continues to go about his business as a reliable source of boards and swats. Over his last seven appearances, the veteran center has averaged 9.7 points, 11.1 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 1.4 blocks and 1.3 steals in 29.5 minutes per game.

  • Celtics' Neemias Queta: Quiet in loss

    Queta ended Sunday's 111-89 loss to the Knicks with four points (2-4 FG), five rebounds and one assist over 23 minutes.

    Queta saw 23 minutes as the starting center, matching the workload of Nikola Vucevic. This has the look of a timeshare, but it could fluctuate depending on matchups -- Queta is more of a defensive presence while Vucevic is instant offense.

  • Naz Reid C | MIN

    Timberwolves' Naz Reid: Teases double-double

    Reid accumulated eight points (4-9 FG, 0-3 3Pt), nine rebounds, three assists and one steal across 24 minutes during Sunday's 115-96 loss to the Clippers.

    Reid led the Timberwolves in rebounds and nearly recorded his first double-double since Jan. 11. However, it's been a slow start to February offensively for the 26-year-old, who is averaging 10.5 points on 39.5 percent shooting from the field in his first four appearances of the month.

  • Clippers' Yanic Konan Niederhauser: Paces bench in scoring

    Niederhauser posted 15 points (5-5 FG, 5-7 FT), six rebounds, two assists and one block over 17 minutes before fouling out of Sunday's 115-96 win over the Timberwolves.

    Niederhauser provided an unexpected scoring boost in limited opportunities by going perfect from the field. He fell one point shy of tying his best mark of the season and has now scored in double digits in two of his last three games. However, Niederhauser's minutes are expected to take a hit once Isaiah Jackson (trade pending) is ready for his team debut.

  • Alex Sarr C | WAS

    Wizards' Alex Sarr: Delivers double-double

    Sarr finished with 12 points (6-13 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 0-2 FT), 12 rebounds, five assists and one steal across 26 minutes in Sunday's 132-101 loss to Miami.

    Sarr didn't stand out as a scorer but still managed to fill up the stat sheet in a blowout loss. In what's been a productive season of progression for the 2024 first-round pick, the big man is now up to 12 double-doubles on the campaign, with three coming over his past six contests.

  • Kel'el Ware C | MIA

    Heat's Kel'el Ware: Double-double off bench

    Ware logged 19 points (8-13 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 14 rebounds, one assist and one block in 30 minutes during Sunday's 132-101 win over the Wizards.

    Ware made a significant impact as both a scorer and rebounder in a dominant Heat victory. Sunday marked his highest scoring output since Dec. 29 and the big man's most rebounds in a game since Dec. 21. His role had been more limited as of late, as Ware averaged 7.7 points and 4.7 rebounds in just 11.3 minutes per contest over the previous six contests.
