Davis (knee) will play and start in Saturday's game against the Cavaliers, Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet reports.

Although he has been an injury report regular, Davis has missed just one game since Feb. 3. Thus, it is not surprising to see him get the green light here. Barring any setbacks with his knee, look for the star big man to take on his usual workload in the frontcourt.

Clark is considered questionable for Saturday's matchup with the 76ers due to left Achilles maintenance.

Clarke made his season debut March 27 and subsequently played four straight games. He sat out Memphis' previous game for rest purposes and is in danger of missing his second straight, as the Grizzlies could opt to again err on the side of caution. More clarity on his status should come closer to tipoff.

Landale accumulated 10 points (4-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, four assists and one steal over 26 minutes during Friday's 119-104 loss to the Heat.

Landale recorded his second double-digit scoring outing in his last six appearances during Friday's loss to Miami. Across his last 10 games coming off the bench, Landale is averaging 8.1 points, 4.9 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.1 blocks in 20.7 minutes on 54.0 percent shooting from the field.

Gibson (hamstring) is listed as probable for Saturday's game versus the Nets.

Gibson is expected to return to action Saturday after missing Detroit's last nine contests with a right hamstring injury. However, the veteran big man has seen inconsistent playing time, even when available.

Jemison registered 17 points (7-9 FG, 3-3 FT), 13 rebounds, one assist, three blocks and one steal over 31 minutes during Friday's 108-90 win over Detroit.

Jemison started for the second consecutive game, and the former UAB standout delivered one of his best outings of the season Friday, posting his first double-double while notching a career-high mark in rebounds. Jemison is expected to remain in the starting lineup for Saturday's matchup against the 76ers if Santi Aldama (foot) or Jaren Jackson (quadriceps) end up being ruled out.

Duren accumulated 17 points (6-12 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 5-5 FT), 10 rebounds and one steal across 24 minutes during Friday's 108-90 loss to Memphis.

Duren notched his third double-double over his last five appearances, and the big man continues to put up quality numbers as one of the best two-way players in The Association. Duren has recorded 42 double-doubles across his 59 appearances.

Hartenstein closed Friday's 108-100 loss to the Bulls with 10 points (3-5 FG, 4-6 FT), seven rebounds, two assists, one block and three steals across 29 minutes.

Hartenstein is not known for recording double-doubles left and right, but the big man is capable of stuffing the stat sheet on both ends of the court, particularly in a starting role. He should remain as New York's starting center, as Mitchell Robinson is slowly working his way back from a lengthy absence. Thus, Hartenstein should be a valuable fantasy option across all formats, but particularly in category-based leagues. Hartenstein has averaged 11.6 points, 7.2 rebounds, 3.7 assists, 1.9 steals and 1.1 blocks per game over his last 10 appearances.

Valanciunas closed Friday's 111-109 loss to the Spurs with 26 points (10-12 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 6-6 FT), seven rebounds, seven assists and one steal in 28 minutes.

Valanciunas had the daunting task of dealing with Victor Wembanyama on both ends of the court. Even though the French rookie finished just one assist shy of a triple-double, Valanciunas held his own, posting his best scoring mark since Dec. 15, when he recorded a season-high 29 points in a win over the Hornets. Valanciunas should continue to see an uptick in touches if Brandon Ingram (knee) and Zion Williamson (finger) remain out to face the Suns on Sunday.

Wembanyama contributed 17 points (5-12 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 12 rebounds, nine assists, three blocks and one steal in 34 minutes during Friday's 111-109 victory over New Orleans.

Wembanyama came close to posting a quadruple-double in the loss to the Nuggets on Tuesday, and he finished just one assist away from a triple-double this time around. The star rookie has posted six double-doubles over his last 10 appearances while averaging 23.7 points, 12.0 rebounds, 5.6 assists and 4.1 blocks per contest in that span. Wembanyama also leads the league with 3.5 blocks per game.

Turner racked up 16 points (6-11 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, one block and one steal over 18 minutes during Friday's 126-112 win over the Thunder.

Turner returned to the Pacers' lineup Friday after missing Wednesday's game against the Nets due to a right finger sprain. He played just 16 minutes Friday, but he should see more action over the last four games of the regular season with the Pacers battling to avoid placement in the NBA Play-In Tournament. Since the All-Star break, Turner is averaging 15.9 points on 50.2 percent shooting (including 39.6 percent from three), 6.6 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 2.1 blocks over 25.9 minutes per game.
