Bryant will be available to make his Pacers debut in Sunday's game against the Pelicans, Tony East of SI.com reports.

Though he was outside of Miami's rotation for much of the season before being traded to Indiana on Friday, Bryant has a clearer path to consistent playing time with the Pacers. With Isaiah Jackson (Achilles) and James Wiseman (Achilles) out for the season, Bryant will compete with undersized centers Obi Toppin and Enrique Freeman for minutes behind starter Myles Turner.

Hartenstein finished with 21 points (9-12 FG, 3-4 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and one block in 33 minutes during Saturday's 111-96 victory over the Rockets.

Hartenstein casually dropped in a career-high 21 points, continuing his strong start to the season. Despite missing the first month due to a hand injury, Hartenstein has been a seamless addition to the Thunder roster, providing him with the best opportunity of his young career. With very little competition for playing time, Hartenstein should see upwards of 30 minutes on most nights, at least until Chet Holmgren returns from his hip injury.

Capela amassed six points (3-8 FG, 0-2 FT), eight rebounds, four blocks and one steal across 29 minutes during Saturday's 110-102 loss to Milwaukee.

Capela played at least 28 minutes for just the fourth time this season, tallying a season-high four blocks. It's been a modest season for the veteran, currently averaging 10.0 points, 9.4 rebounds and 1.0 blocks in 23.0 minutes per game. The coaching staff seems intent on splitting the center minutes across Capela and Onyeka Okongwu, typically limiting the opportunities for both players.

Adams exited in the third quarter of Saturday's 111-96 loss to the Thunder with a left ankle injury and was unable to return, Adam Wexler of Sportstalk 790 Houston reports.

Adams finished with four points (1-2 FG, 2-4 FT) and six rebounds in six minutes before departing. He'll benefit from some extra healing time with the Rockets off until Thursday against the Pelicans, but if Adams is unable to move past the ankle injury by then, Jock Landale would likely slot in as the primary backup to starting center Alperen Sengun.

Davis is probable for Sunday's game against the Grizzlies due to left plantar fasciitis, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Davis has been a mainstay on the injury report due to this nagging injury, but the star big man isn't expected to miss time in the near future, so he should continue to suit up for the Lakers as long as he continues to get the probable tag. Davis is averaging 26.5 points, 11.0 rebounds and 4.0 blocks while averaging 21.0 shots per contest in the last two games during which Los Angeles has been without LeBron James (foot), and fantasy managers can expect another high usage rate Sunday if James sits out again.

Huff is questionable for Sunday's game against the Lakers due to left knee soreness.

Huff could be in danger of missing a game for the first time this season. The big man has seen steady minutes off the bench for Memphis, but he isn't playing enough to be relevant in most fantasy formats. He's averaging 9.8 points, 3.5 rebounds and 0.7 blocks per game over his last 10 appearances, all of them coming off the bench.

Edey (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Lakers.

Edey hasn't stepped on the hardwood since Nov. 17, but the questionable tag suggests he might have a shot at returning Sunday following a 12-game absence. Edey has started in nine of his 14 appearances this season, averaging 11.1 points, 6.9 rebounds and 1.0 blocks per game.

Williams (reconditioning) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Suns, Sean Highkin of Rip City Radio 620 Portland reports.

Williams cleared the concussion protocol earlier this week, but the big man is going through the process of recovering his conditioning to play. As such, a decision on his status will be made closer to Sunday's 8 p.m. ET tipoff. If he's not available, then Donovan Clingan, Duop Reath and Jabari Walker will log all the minutes available at center.

Ayton (illness) is out for Sunday's game against the Suns, Sean Highkin of Rip City Radio 620 Portland reports.

Ayton will miss a second straight contest after not suiting up in Friday's loss to the Spurs. Donovan Clingan is not on the injury report for Sunday, so he might get the start at center instead of Jabari Walker. Ayton's next chance to play will come against the Nuggets on Thursday.

Kleber has been diagnosed with a fractured rib, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.

The Mavericks ruled Kleber out of Sunday's game against the Warriors due to an illness, but the rib injury suggests he'll be sidelined for a longer period than initially expected. His absence shouldn't affect many fantasy squads, though, as he's averaging a mere 17.0 minutes per game across 14 appearances (two starts) this season.
