Drummond (toe) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Wizards.

Drummond missed Monday's game against the Suns, and he was unable to practice Tuesday. The 76ers will be hopeful that Drummond can go, and he would offer more upside than usual in fantasy with Joel Embiid (foot) already ruled out. Either way, Guerschon Yabusele looks poised to have a big role Wednesday.

Huff provided 11 points (4-7 FG, 3-6 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist and two steals across 28 minutes during Monday's 119-104 victory over the Mavericks.

Huff is averaging 15.3 minutes per game this season off the bench. However, during Monday's win against the Mavericks, he saw an increased role, taking starter Zach Edey's spot in the second half. Huff continues to be a force from deep, going 3-for-6 from beyond the arc, where he's shooting an impressive 42.7 percent this season.

Embiid (foot) will not play Wednesday against the Wizards.

Embiid is battling a left foot sprain and was unable to practice Tuesday. It's not a good sign that Embiid is being ruled out 24 hours in advance, and he should be considered questionable for Friday's game against the Pelicans. Andre Drummond (toe) is questionable for Wednesday, so Guerschon Yabusele could be asked to log extended minutes in the frontcourt yet again.

Turner amassed 10 points (4-7 FG, 2-4 3Pt), five rebounds, one assist, three blocks and three steals across 31 minutes during Monday's 113-99 victory over the Nets.

Turner continues to show why he can be a defensive force for the Pacers. The veteran big man may be seeing a dip in his offensive production, averaging two fewer points per game (15.1) in more time on the floor this season (31.3). However, he is still one of the elite shot blockers in the NBA, averaging 2.1 per game, fourth in the league behind Anthony Davis (2.2), Walker Kessler (2.5) and Victor Wembanyama (4.0).

Claxton recorded four points (2-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt), seven rebounds, three assists, one block and two steals over 26 minutes during Monday's 113-99 loss to the Pacers.

Claxton shot only 20 percent from the field during Monday's loss to the Pacers. The 25-year-old big man is shooting a career-low 55.3 percent from the floor this season while also seeing a drop in minutes (25.9) and points per game (9.7) during the 2024-25 campaign.

The Kings waived Robinson on Tuesday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

The Kings will open up a spot on the 15-man roster by moving on from Robinson. The third-year center made just nine appearances for the Kings this season, averaging 2.1 points, 1.6 rebounds and 0.9 assists in 6.3 minutes.

Duren ended Monday's 118-115 win over Portland with 14 points (7-11 FG), 12 rebounds and four assists across 27 minutes.

Duren continues to be a double-double machine for the Pistons. The 21-year-old big man has 13 double-doubles on the season and three in the last four games, making him a force to be reckoned with in the paint. However, overall this season, his numbers have taken a step back. After averaging 13.8 points and 11.6 rebounds in 29.5 minutes per game during his breakout sophomore campaign, Duren is averaging only 9.6 points and 9.4 rebounds in 25.0 minutes per game this season.

Nurkic provided five points (1-2 FG, 3-4 FT), seven rebounds and one assist over 14 minutes during Monday's 109-99 victory over the 76ers.

After returning from suspension and being demoted to the bench, Nurkic didn't do much to make a case to get back in the starting lineup or get more minutes. Nurkic took only two shots against the 76ers, finishing with five points in 14 minutes, and there's no telling what kind of role he'll have on this team moving forward.

Plumlee had two points (1-1 FG), seven rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal across 13 minutes during Monday's 109-99 victory over the 76ers.

Plumlee was on the floor for only 13 minutes as a starter during Monday's game against the 76ers. Outside of seven rebounds and two blocks, the veteran big man didn't make much of an impact in the paint for Phoenix. With head coach Frank Vogel experimenting with lineups, it'll be interesting to see if Plumlee's minutes continue to dip.

Vucevic posted 24 points (10-22 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 11 rebounds, three assists and one steal over 34 minutes during Monday's 114-110 win over the Spurs.

The double-double was his fifth straight and 23rd of the season in 35 appearances, putting him eighth in the league in that category. Vucevic remains a rock-steady presence in the Bulls' starting lineup, and over the last 10 games, the veteran center is averaging 19.2 points, 11.1 boards, 3.5 assists, 1.8 threes and 0.8 steals.
