Collins chipped in 15 points (6-11 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists and three steals across 29 minutes during Saturday's 111-110 win over San Antonio.

Collins turned in a double-double for the second time in three appearances, and he also set a new top mark on the young campaign with three steals. Both Collin Sexton and Lauri Markkanen contributed in big ways for the Jazz in the victory, but it was promising to see Collins also put up productive numbers alongside Utah's big two.

Castleton is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Portland with a left ankle sprain.

A two-way player, Castleton has played just seven minutes across four appearances for the Grizzlies this season. Though the Grizzlies have ruled out five other players for Sunday's contest due to injury, the team has all of its centers healthy with the exception of Castleton, who likely won't be in store for playing time if he's cleared to suit up.

Davis (left plantar fasciitis) is probable for Sunday's game against the Raptors, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.

Davis is dealing with a lingering bout of plantar fasciitis, but the probable tag suggests the star big man should be ready to play against Toronto. Davis registered 31 points (11-20 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 7-8 FT), nine rebounds, one assist and four blocks across 35 minutes during Friday's 116-106 victory over the 76ers.

Hayes (knee) is listed as probable for Sunday's game against the Raptors, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.

Hayes has been on the Lakers' injury report the past few days due to left knee soreness, but the issue isn't serious enough for him to be sidelined. He's averaging 5.7 points and 4.4 rebounds over 17 minutes to start the 2024-25 regular season.

Robinson (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Phoenix.

Robinson hasn't made his 2024-25 regular-season debut due to a left MCL sprain he suffered in early October. His next chance at suiting up will be Monday against the Spurs.

Nurkic is questionable for Sunday's game against the Kings due to left ankle soreness.

The Suns will be without Kevin Durant (calf) for at least two weeks, and losing Nurkic would deplete the frontcourt considerably. However, the questionable tag suggests he should have a decent chance of playing Sunday. Nurkic is averaging 11.0 points and 10.6 rebounds per game this season.

Kornet (hamstring) is questionable to play Sunday against the Bucks, Gary Washburn of The Boston Globe reports.

Kornet tweaked his hamstring during Wednesday's loss to Golden State and missed Friday's overtime win over the Nets. The questionable tag for this matchup doesn't bode well for his chances of playing. If he's out, then either Neemias Queta or Xavier Tillman would earn a start in the frontcourt alongside Al Horford.

Carter (foot) won't play in Sunday's game versus the Wizards.

Carter is set to miss his fourth straight contest Sunday due to left foot plantar fasciitis. Goga Bitadze will likely draw another start in his absence. Carter's next chance to suit up is Tuesday's matchup with Charlotte.

Duren (ankle) is doubtful for Sunday's game against the Rockets.

Duren is dealing with a left ankle sprain, and the doubtful tag suggests he's not likely to see action Sunday. That would mark his second straight absence since leaving the Wednesday loss to the Hornets after just eight minutes of action due to the injury. If Duren is ruled out, then Isaiah Stewart and Paul Reed are candidates to receive increased playing time.

Bamba (knee) is out for Saturday's game versus the Raptors, Justin Russo of the 'Clip & Roll' podcast reports.

Bamba will remain sidelined to begin the 2024-25 campaign due to left knee soreness. There is no official return timetable for the 26-year-old big man.
