Robinson racked up one rebound and two steals over 20 minutes during Tuesday's 128-117 win over the Bulls.

Robinson continues to play limited minutes off the bench, failing to score in just 20 minutes. While it is great to see him back on the floor, he is not doing enough to be rostered outside of very deep leagues. His role could increase during the playoffs, but as for season-long fantasy leagues, he can be left on waivers.

Embiid notched 37 points (12-22 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 9-10 FT), 11 rebounds, eight assists, two blocks and three steals in 36 minutes during Tuesday's 120-102 win over the Pistons.

Embiid returned from a one-game absence in style, and the reigning MVP was two assists shy from registering his third triple-double of the season Tuesday. The 76ers were without Tyrese Maxey (hip) but the team didn't miss a beat on offense with Embiid controlling the flow of the game. Philadelphia is one game back of Indiana for the sixth seed in the Eastern Conference, and the coaching staff will have to balance a desire to avoid the NBA Play-In Tournament with Embiid's health heading into the postseason. In the four games since his return, Embiid is averaging 30.0 points on 51.4 percent shooting, 8.3 rebounds, 4.8 assists, 1.3 blocks and 1.8 steals over 30.1 minutes per game.

When asked about Wembanyama's status for Wednesday's game versus the Thunder, coach Gregg Popovich said the Spurs will "look it over," Jeff Garcia of KENS 5 San Antonio reports.

Wembanyama hasn't suffered an injury but could sit out the second leg of San Antonio's back-to-back Wednesday for rest purposes. The Spurs have already been eliminated from playoff contention and are looking after the health of their 19-year-old budding superstar.

Duren finished Tuesday's 120-102 loss to the 76ers with 15 points (5-12 FG, 5-6 FT), 11 rebounds and two assists in 28 minutes.

Duren sat out of Saturday's contest against the Nets with a sprained left ankle, but the big man returned Tuesday and co-led the Pistons in rebounding with Chimezie Metu. Duren now has 43 double-doubles on the year, tied for seventh most in the NBA, and his 11.6 rebounds per game ranks fifth in the Association. Over his last 10 games, Duren has averaged 11.9 points, 10.2 rebounds and 1.2 assists over 25.7 minutes per game.

Hayes will start Tuesday's game against the Warriors, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.

Anthony Davis is sidelined with a headache, so the Lakers will turn to Hayes as their starting center. In four starts this season, Hayes has averaged 11.0 points, 7.5 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 2.3 steals.

Badji (back) is available to play Tuesday against the Pelicans.

Badji doesn't always see the floor for Portland and has been held to single-digit minutes in his last four appearances.

Drummond suffered a left ankle injury and won't return to Tuesday's game against the Knicks, Julia Poe of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Drummond played just five minutes before leaving the game for good, finishing with four points (2-2 FG), two rebounds and one steal. For now, fantasy managers should consider him questionable for Thursday versus Detroit until the Bulls provide an update on his status.

Theis (thumb) is available for Tuesday's game versus the Suns, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.

Theis has been upgraded from questionable to available Tuesday after missing the Clippers' previous contest with a left thumb sprain. The veteran big man has averaged 4.6 points, 3.8 rebounds and 1.1 assists in 14.0 minutes across his last 10 appearances.

Reid was ejected from Tuesday's game against the Wizards with 3:36 remaining in the first quarter. He finished with three points, two rebounds, one steal and one block in eight minutes.

The officials determined that Reid made "unnecessary and excessive" contact to the head of Johnny Davis. With Reid hitting the locker room early, Kyle Anderson is likely to pick up a lot of minutes.

Eubanks will start Tuesday's game against the Clippers, Kellan Olson of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Jusuf Nurkic is sidelined with a right ankle sprain, so Eubanks is expected to see the bulk of the center minutes. Coach Frank Vogel also mentioned the possibility of Thaddeus Young and Bol Bol getting a shot at some center minutes as well.
