Porzingis (hamstring) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Knicks.

Porzingis, who missed Tuesday's loss to Milwaukee, is one of six Celtics listed as questionable, so it's unclear what Boston's rotation will look like Thursday. With the No. 1 seed locked up, Boston continues to rest its regulars occasionally, but Porzingis has appeared in 10 of the Celtics' last 12 games, averaging 19.1 points, 7.7 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 2.5 blocks and 1.3 steals in 29.3 minutes during that stretch.

Drummond is doubtful for Thursday's game in Detroit with a left ankle sprain.

Drummond suffered the ankle injury after playing just five minutes in Tuesday's 128-117 loss to the Knicks and was unable to return. With Drummond looking unlikely to be available Thursday, the Bulls could turn to rookie Adama Sanogo to enter the rotation as Nikola Vucevic's primary backup.

Nurkic (ankle) isn't on the injury report for Wednesday's game against the Clippers, Gerald Bourguet of GoPHNX.com reports.

Nurkic missed Tuesday's game against the Clippers due to a sprained right ankle, but he'll be back in action for the second half of the back-to-back set. Over his last five appearances, he's averaged 8.6 points, 11.4 rebounds and 5.0 assists in 29.5 minutes per game.

Jokic (hip) is probable for Wednesday's game against the Timberwolves, Alan Horton of the Timberwolves Radio Network reports.

Jokic continues to deal with left hip inflammation, but he's been able to suit up despite the issue. He'll likely be available once again in the second half of a back-to-back set. Over his last eight appearances, he's averaged 29.3 points, 13.5 rebounds and 9.1 assists in 36.0 minutes per game.

Wembanyama has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Thunder due to right ankle injury management, Andrew Lopez of ESPN.com reports.

Wembanyama will take a seat for the second half of the Spurs' back-to-back set after posting 18 points, seven rebounds, six assists and seven blocks in 31 minutes during Tuesday's win in Memphis. The rookie superstar has only two more chances to play this season -- Friday versus Denver and Sunday against Detroit.

Zubac is questionable for Wednesday's game against Phoenix due to left ankle inflammation, Shane Young of Forbes.com reports.

Zubac has posted double-doubles in six consecutive appearances, averaging 15.2 points and 12.0 rebounds in 29.3 minutes per game. He hasn't missed a game since the beginning of March, but it's unclear whether he'll be available in the second half of a back-to-back set. If he sits out, Daniel Theis, Mason Plumlee and P.J. Tucker could see additional minutes.

Kleber (back) is probable for Wednesday against the Heat.

Wednesday's game is the second leg of a back-to-back set and Kleber's back spasms are still a mild concern, but the Mavericks anticipate that the forward will suit up. Kleber is averaging 6.5 points, 4.8 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.3 blocks in four April outings.

Okongwu (toe) is listed as out for Wednesday's game against the Hornets.

Okongwu hasn't played since March 21 after he aggravated his left big toe sprain. He had been scheduled for a re-evaluation earlier this week, but the Hawks have yet to provide an update on his status.

Boucher (knee) won't play Wednesday against the Nets, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.

Boucher will miss his 16th consecutive game Wednesday while he continues to recover from the partial MCL tear in his right knee. The Raptors haven't indicated that Boucher has resumed on-court work, so he'll most likely miss the team's remaining two games of the season after Wednesday.

Jemison racked up 14 points (6-14 FG, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal across 30 minutes during Tuesday's 102-87 loss to the Spurs.

Jemison had yet another strong showing for a Memphis team ravaged by injuries. Through four appearances in April, Jemison has compiled averages of 10.8 points, 8.3 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.5 blocks in 28.5 minutes.
