Adebayo (hand) is available for Tuesday's game versus the Hawks, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.

Adebayo has been upgraded from probable to available despite dealing with a sprained left hand. The 26-year-old big man is averaging 18.1 points, 11.4 rebounds, 4.2 assists and 1.2 steals in 32.4 minutes across his last 10 outings.

Kleber (back) is available to play Wednesday against the Hornets, Grant Afseth of SI.com reports.

Kleber continues to deal with a nagging back problem, but he's going to give it a go Tuesday. He's been playing off the bench in recent weeks and enters Tuesday's action averaging just 3.8 points and 2.9 rebounds across 19.0 minutes per game in his last 10 outings, so he's hard to trust in even the deepest of formats.

Claxton (ankle) is probable for Wednesday's game against the Raptors, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.

Claxton was sidelined for Sunday's loss to the Kings, marking his first absence since Dec. 27, but will return to action Wednesday. Over his last eight appearances, Claxton has averaged 9.8 points, 11.3 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 2.0 blocks and 0.9 steals in 31.6 minutes per game.

Horford (toe) is out Tuesday versus Milwaukee, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.

Horford and Kristaps Porzingis (hamstring/rest) will both be inactive Tuesday, leaving Luke Kornet and Xavier Tillman behind as frontcourt anchors looking to extend Milwaukee's ongoing losing streak to five. Boston is fully healthy with the exception of Horford and Porzingis.

Porzingis (hamstring/rest) will be inactive Tuesday versus Milwaukee, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.

Porzingis and Al Horford (toe) have both been ruled out for Tuesday's contest, leaving a platoon of Luke Kornet and Xavier Tillman to handle minutes at center. Neemias Queta signed a standard multi-year contract with Boston on Monday, but he is currently at the G League level. Porzingis' next opportunity to take the court comes Thursday versus New York.

Holmes (toe) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Timberwolves.

Holmes will miss a seventh straight game due to a left big toe contusion. Marvin Bagley (knee) and Tristan Vukcevic (knee) are also out, so Anthony Gill, Eugene Omoruyi and Patrick Baldwin are candidates for increased roles. Holmes has only two chances left to suit up this season -- Friday versus Chicago and Sunday in Boston.

Queta agreed to a standard contract with the Celtics on Monday, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.

Queta will be eligible for the postseason after securing the team's 15th roster spot. He's appeared in 26 games this season for Boston, averaging 4.6 points and 4.1 rebounds in 11.4 minutes. Despite signing a standard contract, Queta remains with the G League's Maine Celtics and is expected to play for the team in Game 1 of the G League Finals versus the Oklahoma City Blue on Tuesday.

Nurkic is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Clippers due to a right ankle sprain.

Nurkic logged 31 minutes in Sunday's 113-105 loss to New Orleans, and though no reports emerged during the game that he was nagged by any sort of injury, hsi status will now need to be monitored in advance of Tuesday's contest. Tuesday also marks the beginning of a back-to-back set for the Suns, with a rematch versus the Clippers on deck Wednesday. The Suns have posted a 1-4 record without Nurkic this season.

Badji is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Pelicans due to low back soreness.

Badji was also listed on the team's injury report as questionable leading up to Sunday's game, and he was ultimately able to go. Expect confirmation on his availability closer to the 10 p.m. ET tipoff.

Theis (thumb) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Suns, Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Theis was held out of Sunday's matchup against the Cavs due to a left thumb sprain. He'll likely need to make it through morning shootaround and pregame warmups to get the green light to suit up Tuesday.
