Pistons' Duncan Robinson: Strong effort in win
Robinson registered 20 points (7-12 FG, 6-9 3Pt), three rebounds and two assists in 25 minutes during Tuesday's 124-121 win over the Nuggets.
This was a terrific showing for Robinson, and the timing is good for him too -- the Pistons just acquired Kevin Huerter from Chicago on Tuesday, and he could provide some competition for Robinson on the wings with both players specializing in perimeter shooting. Robinson's role will be worth monitoring closely going forward.

Jamal Murray PG | DEN
Nuggets' Jamal Murray: Drops 32 points in defeat
Murray finished with 32 points (8-17 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 12-13 FT), eight assists, two blocks and one rebound over 37 minutes during Tuesday's 124-121 loss to the Pistons.
After scoring just 12 points on 4-for-16 shooting from the field in Sunday's loss to the Thunder, Murray bounced back in the scoring column and reached the 30-point threshold for the 14th time this season. The star point guard also led the team in assists and swatted a season-high two shots. Over his last five outings, Murray has averaged 23.0 points, 9.0 assists and 3.8 rebounds in 36.0 minutes per tilt.

Gary Harris SG | MIL
Bucks' Gary Harris: Remaining out Wednesday
Harris (hamstring) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Pelicans.
Harris will miss a fourth consecutive contest due to a left hamstring strain and is without a timetable for a return. The veteran swingman's next opportunity to play will come Friday against Indiana. In the meantime, Gary Trent and Cole Anthony (ankle) are candidates for increased playing time.

Pistons' Tobias Harris: Muted effort in win
Harris ended Tuesday's 124-121 victory over the Nuggets with 11 points (4-13 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), six rebounds and three assists over 34 minutes.
This was another quiet outing for Harris, as he continues to underwhelm in fantasy hoops. Across 35 appearances, he holds averages of 13.5 points, 4.6 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 0.9 steals and 1.4 three-pointers on 45.9 percent shooting from the field.

Cole Anthony PG | PHO
Bucks' Cole Anthony: Probable for Wednesday
Anthony is probable for Wednesday's game against the Pelicans due to a left ankle sprain.
Anthony twisted his left ankle during Tuesday's win over the Bulls, but it's not expected to keep him out of Wednesday's contest. Check back closer to tipoff for official confirmation on Anthony's status, but even if he's available, the backup guard may not see minutes due to Kevin Porter's return.

Myles Turner C | MIL
Bucks' Myles Turner: Probable for Wednesday
Turner is probable to play Wednesday versus the Pelicans due to a left ankle sprain.
Turner tweaked his ankle during Tuesday's win over the Bulls, but it appears he's planning on powering through. Managers can expect to get official confirmation on his status closer to Wednesday's tip. He finished Tuesday's game with 15 points (5-10 FG), four rebounds, one assist, two steals and a block in 23 minutes.

Kevin Porter PG | MIL
Bucks' Kevin Porter: Available to play
Porter (oblique) is available to play Wednesday against the Pelicans.
Porter will shed his questionable tag and is all set to return from a six-game absence. He may face restrictions in his first game back, but his usage could be through the roof while Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) is on the shelf.

Mitchell Robinson C | NY
Knicks' Mitchell Robinson: Not listed on injury report
Robinson (ankle) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Wednesday's game versus the Nuggets.
Robinson took his standard rest day on the first leg of this back-to-back set Tuesday, but he'll be back in action with his usual workload Wednesday evening. Robinson is averaging 4.7 points, 9.1 rebounds and 1.1 blocks per game this season.

Mohamed Diawara PF | NY
Knicks' Mohamed Diawara: Iffy Wednesday
Diawara is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Nuggets due to a sprained left ankle.
Diawara sustained the ankle injury in Tuesday's win over Washington but has a chance to return in the second leg of this back-to-back set. If the rookie second-rounder isn't cleared to play, Jordan Clarkson and Landry Shamet are candidates for a small bump in minutes.
