Robinson (ankle) has been upgraded to questionable for Wednesday's game against the Raptors.

Robinson was initially listed as out for Wednesday's contest, which would've extended his streak of absences to 51 games. However, it appears the defensive-minded center made better progress than expected and now has a chance to suit up against Toronto. Even if Robinson is cleared to play, he'll presumably be monitored closely, though his availability would likely mean fewer minutes for Isaiah Hartenstein, Precious Achiuwa and Jericho Sims.

Sabonis chipped in 12 points (3-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 6-8 FT), 11 rebounds, nine assists and two blocks in 31 minutes during Tuesday's 132-96 loss to the Mavericks.

Despite the Kings' poor showing, Sabonis managed his 55th consecutive double-double, breaking another record by matching Jerry Lucas for the longest double-double streak in the history of the franchise. Dallas was well aware of Sabonis' potential and crowded him in the paint often, which resulted in a lower shot volume for the underrated big man. Despite popular opinion, Sabonis' season merits MVP consideration, as the Kings would likely be out of the playoff hunt without him.

Valanciunas logged six points (2-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-3 FT), six rebounds and one assist in 10 minutes during Tuesday's 119-112 loss to Oklahoma City.

Valanciunas did not play in the second half of Tuesday's loss, with coach Willie Green turning to Larry Nance and small-ball lineups with Zion Williamson at center to combat Chet Holmgren and Oklahoma City's spacing-oriented offense. Valanciunas will likely be more incorporated Thursday against Milwaukee.

Davis finished with 34 points (12-31 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 7-7 FT), 23 rebounds, four blocks, two assists and two steals across 52 minutes in Tuesday's 128-124 double-overtime win over the Bucks.

Plenty of rebounds were up for grabs with the two teams combining to hit just 40.1 percent of their 228 shot attempts on the night, and Davis was able to clean up en route to his second game of the season with at least 20 boards. Though he supplemented the rebound total with strong numbers in the defensive categories and a big scoring total, he wasn't immune to the shooting struggles, as his 38.7 percent mark from field on heavy volume was harmful in category-based leagues. On a positive note, Davis stepped up with perfect shooting from the free-throw line, and his trio of three-pointers were also a welcome sight; he had nailed just three triples combined over his last 15 games. Given that he handled his heftiest workload of the season Tuesday and has been battling bilateral Achilles tendinopathy, Davis could be a candidate to sit out Wednesday against the Grizzlies in the second leg of a back-to-back set.

Looney amassed seven points (3-5 FG, 1-2 FT), six rebounds and one assist in 19 minutes during Tuesday's 113-92 win over the Heat.

With Trayce Jackson-Davis (knee) sidelined, Looney logged 19 minutes in the win, the most he has played in over two months. Having sat out seven of the previous nine games, it's clear the Warriors are no longer reliant on Looney's defensive presence. Given he was not a must-roster player when starting, there is no reason to think he will have any value now that his role has been significantly reduced.

Sarr logged 10 points (2-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 16 rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal across 34 minutes Saturday in the G League Oklahoma City Blue's 112-95 win over the Greensboro Swarm.

Through 15 outings in the G League this season, Sarr -- who is one of the Thunder's three two-way players -- is averaging 13.5 points, 11.8 rebounds, 2.4 blocks, 1.9 assists, 0.9 steals and 0.7 three-pointers in 27.6 minutes per contest.

Sarr logged 17 points (6-14 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 16 rebounds, three blocks and an assist in 27 minutes during Oklahoma City Blue's win over the Memphis Hustle on Friday, Mar. 15.

Sarr had a very strong performance on the boards, leading the team with 16. He was also a key offensive player, scoring 17 points on 14 shots.

Kleber (knee) is good to go for Tuesday's game against the Kings, Grant Afseth of SI.com reports.

Kleber was carrying a questionable tag before this update, but it's a good sign if the Mavericks are letting him play the second leg of their back-to-back set. In March, Kleber is averaging 18.2 minutes per game.

Gibson (hamstring) won't play in Wednesday's game versus the Timberwolves.

Gibson will miss his fifth straight game while dealing with a right hamstring strain. However, his absence won't impact Detroit's rotation.

Duren (back) is probable for Wednesday's game against Minnesota.

Duren appears on track to return from a three-game absence due to back spasms. If he's able to return, James Wiseman would likely revert to a 15-20 minute role off the bench, although the status of offensive engine Cade Cunningham (knee/rest) is important to monitor as well.
