Porzingis amassed 19 points (7-15 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds, one assist, two blocks and three steals over 26 minutes during Friday's 129-102 win over Detroit.

The 28-year-old big continues to have his minutes capped due to a nagging hamstring injury, as Boston is working to keep Porzingis on the court for the playoffs. The restriction hasn't kept him from posting solid numbers, though, and through three games since returning to the lineup, Porzingis has averaged 18.7 points, 5.0 boards, 2.3 threes, 1.3 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.0 blocks.

Theis appeared to suffer a right knee injury during the fourth quarter of Friday's 125-117 win over the Trail Blazers and was unable to return, Law Murray of The Athletic reports. He finished with six points (3-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt), four rebounds, two blocks and one assist in 21 minutes.

Theis was spotted receiving attention from the medical staff on the bench, and he didn't see any action after checking out of the contest with 9:24 remaining in the quarter. After the game, head coach Tyronn Lue said that he's not too concerned about Theis' injury, per Murray. The big man will be considered day-to-day ahead of Sunday's matchup with the 76ers.

Wembanyama produced 31 points (11-24 FG, 3-12 3Pt, 6-10 FT), 16 rebounds, five assists, three blocks and two steals over 33 minutes during Friday's 99-97 loss to the Grizzlies.

Wembanyama led all players in Friday's contest in scoring, rebounds and blocks while connecting on a team-high trio of threes to go along with a team-high-tying handful of assists in a 30-point double-double showcase. Wembanyama has crossed the 30-point mark in seven games this season, including in two of his last three outings. He has now hauled in 15 or more boards on six occasions, pairing that with at least 30 points in two contests.

Adebayo chipped in 12 points (4-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist and two blocks in 30 minutes during Friday's 111-88 loss to the Pelicans.

Adebayo returned from a one-game absence, recording a low-end double-double. It was a rough night for the Heat, who were soundly beaten by a Pelicans squad that was missing Brandon Ingram (knee) on the second night of a back-to-back. It's been a bumpy season for Miami, who currently occupies the eighth seed in the Eastern Conference. The Heat remain within striking distance of the top six, but they are going to need to find some consistency should they hope to avoid the Play-In.

Gobert (rib) tallied nine points (4-7 FG, 1-4 FT), 14 rebounds, two blocks and one assist across 37 minutes Friday in the Timberwolves' 104-91 win over the Cavaliers.

Gobert provided his usual contributions in the rebounds and blocks categories in his return from a three-game absence due to a left rib sprain, but a rough showing from the free-throw line kept him in single digits in the scoring column for a third consecutive contest. Even without Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) for the foreseeable future, Gobert isn't expected to benefit from a dramatic uptick in usage on the offensive end, as his scoring will derive mainly from putbacks and the occasional post touch.

Zeller closed with one point (1-2 FT), two rebounds and one steal over three minutes during Friday's 111-88 victory over Miami.

Zeller cracked the rotation for the first time in more than two weeks, logging three minutes in garbage time. Given he has appeared in only 39 games all season, during which he has averaged 1.9 points and 2.8 rebounds, it's clear he holds no fantasy value.

Holmgren logged 18 points (8-13 FG, 2-4 3Pt), 10 rebounds, one assist, one block and two steals in 27 minutes during Friday's 123-103 victory over the Raptors.

Holmgren registered his fourth double-double in his last five appearances Friday. He led the Thunder in rebounds and was third behind Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Jalen Williams in scoring. Over his last five games, Holmgren has averaged 20.2 points on 57.6 percent shooting (including 45.5 percent from three on 4.4 3PA/G), 11.2 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 2.0 blocks over 31.3 minutes per game.

Davis (Achilles) has been cleared to play Friday against the 76ers, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.

Davis has been a frequent presence on the team's injury report, but he continues to suit up while dealing with a nagging Achilles injury. He's averaging 19.5 points, 12.6 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 1.5 steals and 2.0 blocks over eight March appearances.

Reath has been confirmed as the Blazers' starting center for Friday night's game against the Clippers, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.

It was reported a few hours before tipoff that Reath was in line for the start, and it's since been made official. Reath should see plenty of opportunities to make an impact with Deandre Ayton (elbow) out of commission.

Allen (hand) checked into Friday's game against Minnesota during the third quarter, Serena Winters of Bally Sports Cleveland reports.

As expected, Allen has been cleared to re-enter Friday's clash. His hand was taped up when he returned, so the laceration may be something to monitor over the next few days.
