Sengun (back) is off the injury report for Wednesday's game against the Lakers.

After sitting out Houston's past two contests with a back issue, the star big man is ready to roll for Wednesday. Clint Capela should revert back to the No. 2 center spot after drawing a spot start during Monday's meeting with the Lakers. Sengun has averaged 19.5 points, 7.7 rebounds and 3.5 assists in 30.4 minutes per tilt in his last six games, shooting 54.4 percent from the field.

Edwards was diagnosed Tuesday with right knee inflammation and will be re-evaluated in 1-to-2 weeks, Chris Hine of The Minnesota Star Tribune reports.

A firm target date for Edwards' return hasn't been established, but since he's not scheduled to be re-evaluated for at least another week, he can safely be ruled out for the Timberwolves' next four games. In the meantime, players like Ayo Dosunmu and Bones Hyland could take on more minutes, while starters Donte DiVincenzo, Julius Randle and Jaden McDaniels could notice spikes in usage.

Terry (shoulder) is available for Tuesday's game against Denver.

Terry is ready to return from a one-game absence with a left shoulder impingement. Over his last five appearances, Terry has averaged 5.8 points, 2.8 assists and 2.6 rebounds in 20.0 minutes per game.

Sexton (lower leg) is questionable for Wednesday's game against Toronto.

Sexton has a chance to end a four-game absence with a left lower-leg contusion. With Anfernee Simons (wrist) and Jaden Ivey (knee) both sidelined, Tre Jones is worth streaming in most fantasy leagues, and Rob Dillingham should be on the radaer in deeper formats until Sexton is cleared to return.

Okoro (knee) is doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Raptors.

Okoro is likely going to be sidelined for a fifth straight game Wednesday. The Bulls play the second leg of a back-to-back set Thursday, but it's unclear if Okoro will be ready in time for that one. Leonard Miller should continue to see an expanded role in Okoro's presumed absence.

Highsmith (knee) is questionable for Tuesday's game against Minnesota.

After scoring a season-high 16 points in 19 minutes during Monday's loss to the Celtics, Highsmith might sit out the second leg of Phoenix's back-to-back for right knee injury management. If Highsmith sits out, Ryan Dunn could re-enter the rotation after not playing in either of the last two contests.

Allen (knee) is doubtful for Tuesday's game against the Timberwolves.

Allen is expected to sit out during the second leg of this back-to-back set to manage knee soreness. He's missed two games in March due to an ongoing knee injury and took a hard fall Monday in Boston after stepping on Hugo Gonzalez's foot during a drive. Allen stayed in the game, but his minutes were limited the rest of the way. As a result, Jordan Goodwin and Ryan Dunn could potentially pick up more run Tuesday.

Matkovic chipped in 13 points (5-7 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist and one steal across 20 minutes during Monday's 129-111 win over Dallas.

Matkovic nabbed his first double-double of the year, and he's resurfaced in the Pelicans' rotation for six straight games after falling out of the mix. New Orleans appears to be content with riding a hot-hand approach at center between Yves Missi, Derik Queen and Matkovic. That said, Matkovic hasn't drawn a start since Jan. 7 and might remain tough to trust in fantasy lineups in this timeshare.

Williamson registered 27 points (11-13 FG, 5-9 FT), four rebounds, one assist and one steal across 29 minutes during Monday's 129-111 victory over Dallas.

Williamson continues to score in bunches, putting up at least 19 points in seven consecutive games. The star forward has missed just one contest since the middle of December, so the Pelicans haven't been particularly cautious about his workload. Williamson has averaged 21.9 points, 5.7 rebounds and 2.1 assists in 30.5 minutes per game in his last seven outings, shooting 64.8 percent from the floor.

Gillespie posted three points (1-8 FG, 1-5 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist and two steals over 23 minutes during Monday's 120-112 loss to Boston.

With Devin Booker and Jalen Green combining for 61 points, Gillespie took a backseat on offense. His fantasy appeal hasn't been great lately, as he's shooting 37.7 percent from the field over his last eight games with 9.6 points, 5.1 assists, 5.0 rebounds, 1.0 steals and 2.5 three-pointers.
