Horford provided 20 points (7-11 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, one assist and three blocks across 32 minutes during Tuesday's 120-117 win over the Cavaliers.

It was a season high in scoring for the 38-year-old big, and Horford continues to give the Celtics reliable minutes in the frontcourt. He's drained multiple three-pointers in six straight starts, averaging 13.0 points, 6.5 boards, 3.0 threes, 2.0 assists and 1.0 blocks over that stretch while shooting 50.9 percent from the floor and 45.0 percent (18-for-40) from beyond the arc.

Allen totaled 10 points (5-6 FG), 11 rebounds, two assists and one steal across 28 minutes during Tuesday's 120-117 loss to Boston.

It's the fourth straight double-double for the 26-year-old center and his 11th of the season in 16 games. Allen is posting his usual numbers for the league-leading Cavaliers, averaging 14.3 points, 10.9 boards, 1.7 assists, 1.2 blocks and 1.0 steals to begin the campaign while shooting 66.9 percent from the floor.

Davis registered 26 points (10-15 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 6-10 FT), 14 rebounds, six assists and two steals across 34 minutes during Tuesday's 124-118 win over the Jazz.

Although Davis briefly exited Tuesday's game with what appeared to be a groin injury, he showed no ill effects and logged 34 minutes in the win. Dalton Knecht's record-setting three-point performance dominated the flow of the game, but Davis controlled the paint and won the rebound battle over John Collins.

Jemison notched two points (1-2 FG), one rebound, one assist and two steals in 17 minutes during Tuesday's 132-91 loss to the Mavericks.

Jemison played double-digit minutes for the sixth time in the past seven games, highlighting the fact that the Pelicans are battling a number of injuries to key players. Over the past two weeks, Jemison is averaging 4.0 points, 3.5 rebounds and 1.5 combined steals and blocks in 15.1 minutes per game. It has been a surprising development but one that is almost certainly going to end once the team starts to get their primary pieces back on the floor.

Davis (groin) is available to return during Tuesday's game against the Jazz, Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet reports.

The superstar collided with John Collins on a screen -- which was later called a Flagrant 1 foul on Collins -- in the third quarter and went back to the locker room. However, Davis is good to go if need be, though with the game nearing its end it wouldn't come as a shock if he remains sidelined.

Davis (groin) went back to the locker room in the third quarter of Tuesday's game against the Jazz, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.

The superstar collided with John Collins on a screen -- which was later called a Flagrant 1 foul on Collins -- and stayed in briefly before checking out and heading to the locker room. If Davis is unable to return, Christian Koloko is expected to pick up the slack the rest of the way.

Huff supplied six points (2-5 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT) and one rebound across 13 minutes during Tuesday's 122-110 loss to the Nuggets.

Huff managed just 13 minutes despite the fact the Grizzlies were without Zach Edey due to an ankle injury. While Brandon Clarke continues to start at center, there had been some hope that Huff would step into a larger role. Up against a Nuggets team without their own starting center, Nikola Jokic (personal), this may have been an unfortunate matchup for Huff. He remains an elite per-minute producer, and while this was not a great outing, his role is worth monitoring moving forward.

Jordan posted four points (2-4 FG), two rebounds and one steal over eight minutes during Tuesday's 122-110 victory over Memphis.

Jordan was dusted off once again, playing minutes as the backup center after Nikola Jokic was once again ruled out due to personal reasons. Primarily serving as a veteran leader in the locker room, there is no reason to think Jordan's role will extend beyond spot minutes when the Nuggets are shorthanded.

Davis is available and in the starting five for Tuesday's game versus the Jazz, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.

Davis has been upgraded from probable to available Tuesday despite continuing to deal with left foot plantar fasciitis. There is no indication that the superstar big man will operate on a minutes restriction, as he logged at least 32 minutes in each of his last three appearances.

Looney (illness) is listed as probable ahead of Wednesday's game against the Hawks.

Looney could miss his second consecutive game Wednesday, though the probable tag suggests he is nearing a return to game action. The 28-year-old has averaged 6.0 points, 9.0 rebounds and 1.6 assists across 15.4 minutes per game over his last five outings.
