Okogie recorded 12 points (5-11 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 0-2 FT), four rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal in 24 minutes during Wednesday's 129-93 loss to Denver.

Wednesday's game got out of hand during the second half, allowing Okogie to see more playing time off the bench. The 24 minutes were his most since Feb. 25, and considering Okogie got single-digit minutes in four of his prior six games to Wednesday, his fantasy appeal remains muted overall.

Mobley registered 18 points (8-13 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-7 FT), 13 rebounds, four assists and two blocks in 32 minutes during Wednesday's 128-122 loss to the Magic.

Although Mobley's counting stats were terrific, he had a nightmare showing at the free-throw line. That's been a common theme this season, as he's shooting 62.3 percent from the line on 4.5 attempts per game on average.

Bryant contributed 12 points (4-8 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five rebounds and one block over 19 minutes during Wednesday's 128-122 loss to the Magic.

With Jarrett Allen (knee) still sidelined, Bryant made the most of his minutes as Cleveland's backup center. He has struggled with his efficiency over his last three outings, however, shooting 34.8 percent from the field with 7.7 points, 4.0 rebounds and 0.7 blocks in 14.9 minutes per contest.

Goodwin (calf) is available for Thursday's game against the Pacers.

Thursday is the front end of a back-to-back, making Goodwin a candidate to sit out Friday's tilt in Toronto following a recent extended layoff with a left calf injury. Over his last seven appearances, Goodwin has averaged 9.4 points, 3.3 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 1.1 steals in 24.9 minutes per game.

Carrington (hip) is good to go for Thursday's game against the Magic.

Carrington will shake off a questionable tag for this contest. With Trae Young active, Carrington is likely going to see a modest workload off the bench.

Ware (shoulder) is good to go for Thursday's game against the Bucks.

Ware is all set to return from a one-game absence. With this news, Simone Fontecchio could lose some playing time, with Ware likely to reprise his spot in the rotation. Over his past five appearances (all off bench), Ware has averaged 12.4 points, 9.8 rebounds, 2.8 blocks and 2.6 steals in 29.4 minutes per game.

Williams (illness) is out for Thursday's game against the Hawks.

Williams joins a crowded group of injured players on the shelf for this contest. With this news, more minutes could be available for guys like Terance Mann, Danny Wolf and Jalen Wilson.

Missi posted six points (3-6 FG), 10 rebounds, two assists and two blocks across 19 minutes during Wednesday's 122-111 victory over the Raptors.

Missi hasn't scored in double digits since Jan. 25 against the Kings, but the second-year center contributed on the defensive side of the floor with two blocked shots. Wednesday was his 23rd multi-block game of the season, three of which have come over his last four outings. Since returning from a seven-game absence in February due to a strained left calf, Missi has averaged 5.0 points, 4.9 rebounds and 1.7 blocks over 14.9 minutes per game.

Williamson finished Wednesday's 122-111 victory over Toronto with 19 points (7-12 FG, 5-8 FT), six rebounds, four assists and one steal over 32 minutes.

Williamson helped close things out for the Pelicans with seven of his 19 points coming in the fourth quarter, and he finished as the team's third-leading scorer behind Trey Murphy (28 points) and Dejounte Murray (27 points). Over his last five outings, Williamson has averaged 21.0 points on 71.0 percent shooting along with 6.2 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 0.6 steals over 30.2 minutes per game.

Bitadze (coach's decision) went unused off the bench Wednesday in the Magic's 128-122 win over the Cavaliers.

Bitadze had seen action in each of the Magic's previous four games, but his most recent two appearances had come in garbage time at the end of blowouts. With Wednesday's contest remaining competitive throughout, Bitadze failed to get off the bench while Moritz Wagner handled all the backup center minutes behind starter Wendell Carter. So long as Carter and Wagner are available, Bitadze is unlikely to be featured in the rotation.
