Kleber (toe) is available for Saturday's game versus the Thunder, Brett Dawson of SelloutCrowd.com reports.

Kleber has been upgraded from questionable to available Saturday despite dealing with a dislocated toe. With Dereck Lively (nose) out, Kleber should continue to start at center.

Biyombo agreed to a one-year deal with the Thunder on Saturday, Vincent Goodwill of Yahoo Sports reports.

The Thunder have been rumored to be looking for extra frontcourt depth for much of the season and appear to have found a solution in the form of Biyombo. The veteran center averaged 5.2 points, 6.4 rebounds and 1.1 blocks across 23.9 minutes in 30 games with the Grizzlies this season before being waived in mid-January. He'll compete with the likes of Kenrich Williams and Jaylin Williams for backup minutes behind starting center Chet Holmgren.

Holmes isn't on the injury report for Saturday's game versus the 76ers.

Holmes is set to make his Washington debut Saturday after being traded from the Wizards. The 30-year-old big man will likely serve as the backup center to Marvin Bagley.

Bagley (back) isn't on the injury report for Saturday's game versus the 76ers.

Bagley will return to action Saturday after missing the last four games with a back contusion. The 24-year-old big man will likely take over the starting center role against Philadelphia following the trade of Daniel Gafford.

Gafford (recently traded) is available for Saturday's game versus the Thunder, Grant Afseth of SI.com reports.

Gafford was traded from the Wizards to the Mavericks on Thursday. While the 25-year-old big man sat out against the Knicks, he is set to make his Dallas debut on Saturday. With Dereck Lively (nose) out and Maxi Kleber (toe) questionable, Gafford will likely enter the starting lineup versus the Thunder.

Poeltl recorded 16 points (7-11 FG, 2-2 FT), 13 rebounds, three assists, six blocks and three steals in 37 minutes during Friday's 107-104 win over Houston.

Poeltl recorded one of his best stat lines of the season, finishing just four blocks shy of a triple-double and making his presence felt on both ends of the court. Poeltl is expected to hold a prominent role for the Raptors going forward after the team traded away several regulars before the deadline, and an increase in touches should bolster Poeltl's fantasy value, which is already decent given his ability to post a double-double anytime he steps on the court. He's reached that feat in three of his last five outings since returning from an ankle injury that sidelined him for most of January.

Porzingis ended Friday's 133-129 win over the Wizards with 34 points (9-18 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 14-14 FT), 11 rebounds and one block in 33 minutes.

Porzingis has scored at least 30 points in back-to-back games, something he hadn't accomplished all season long, and he continues to prove he can deliver when called upon. Porzingis is averaging 25.0 points and 8.2 rebounds per game over his last five outings, and while he's not expected to reach the 30-point mark on a regular basis going forward, he remains productive in terms of fantasy appeal. He's on pace to average at least 20 points per game for the sixth consecutive season.

Jokic racked up 23 points (9-17 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 4-5 FT), eight rebounds, seven assists and three steals over 30 minutes during Friday's 135-106 loss to Sacramento.

Domantas Sabonis got the better of Jokic in the lopsided loss, logging nine more rebounds than the All-Star. Absences from Michael Porter (knee) and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (hamstring) had a negative effect on Denver's efficiency, and the adjusted supporting cast didn't provide much help to Jokic, who was the only Nugget to score over 20 points.

Sabonis finished Friday's 135-106 win over the Nuggets with 17 points (7-9 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 17 rebounds, 10 assists and one steal over 31 minutes.

Sabonis' triple-double broke the tie with Nikola Jokic for top spot in the category. The Nuggets were no match for the Kings on their home court, as Sobonis joined six other players with double-digit scoring totals. The big man missed only two shots in the game, raising his season field goal percentage to 62.2 percent.

Richards recorded 16 points (7-9 FG, 2-3 FT), 11 rebounds and one block in 30 minutes during Friday's 120-84 loss to Milwaukee.

The Hornets lost in a rout Friday, but Richards had a positive performance, going an efficient 7-for-9 from the field. His 16 points tied for the team lead, while his 11 boards paced the club. This was Richards' 11th double-double of the campaign, and he's proven to be a viable fantasy asset as a source of rebounds, blocks and moderate scoring, though he had been struggling coming into Friday with an average of just 4.5 points, 7.5 boards and 0.5 blocks over his previous two contests.
