NBA Player News

Adebayo is listed as probable for Wednesday's game against Cleveland due to a left hip contusion.

Adebayo logged a full workload in Monday's victory over Chicago with no injury being reported, so his presence on Tuesday's injury report could be precautionary. He has started Miami's last 10 games and appears on track to play Wednesday.

Richards (concussion) is out for Wednesday's game versus the Wizards.

Richards's absence streak will extend to three games Wednesday while in concussion protocols. He will have extra time to recover ahead of Sunday's matchup with Orlando.

Horford (rest) isn't listed on the Celtics' injury report for Wednesday's game against the Bucks, John Karalis of BostonSportsJournal.com reports.

After playing 22 minutes during Sunday's win over Memphis, Horford took the night off Monday. However, as expected, he'll return to action Wednesday. The Celtics will have everyone available, so Horford should come off the bench. As a reserve this season (nine games), Horford has averaged 5.4 points, 5.4 rebounds and 1.8 assists in 21.7 minutes.

The Pistons announced Tuesday that Duren (ankle) is expected to practice this week, James L. Edwards III of The Athletic reports.

Duren has missed five straight contests due to right ankle soreness, but he's nearing a return to game action. The second-year center has recently been participating in 3-on-3 drills and should be a full participant in practice soon. The Pistons have just one more game this week -- Friday in Indiana -- but Duren's status for that matchup has yet to be determined.

Williams supplied 18 points (8-14 FG, 2-2 FT), 16 rebounds, two assists, three blocks and one steal in 33 minutes during Monday's 121-118 overtime victory over Boston.

Williams has been an inconsistent producer for Charlotte this season, but he has stepped up in recent games against Boston and Milwaukee. Totaling 29 points and 32 rebounds against the Eastern Conference powerhouses, Williams is demonstrating the ability to anchor the paint, even if his defensive versatility is lacking. However, his three blocks Monday marked a season high, so he is showing improvement on that end of the court.

Theis recorded 19 points (8-10 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and one steal in 21 minutes during Monday's 124-99 victory over the Spurs.

In his second game with the Clippers, Theis boomed during Monday's blowout victory. The lopsided nature of the contest led to additional opportunities for the 31-year-old center, but it was nonetheless an impressive showing as he continues acclimating to a new team. Expecting relevant fantasy output isn't advised, but Theis fills a critical backup center role for the Clippers while Mason Plumlee (knee) is out.

Portland recalled Brown from the G League's Rip City Remix on Tuesday.

Brown, Kris Murray and Rayan Rupert were all elevated from the G League following Rip City's 107-103 win over Ontario on Monday. They'll all be available as depth options for Portland's matchup in Phoenix on Tuesday, but it's unlikely they'll see significant playing time, barring a blowout.

Towns contributed 20 points (6-10 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 6-7 FT), five rebounds, four assists, two blocks and three steals in 36 minutes before fouling out of Monday's 117-100 win over the Knicks.

Towns has gone three consecutive games without a double-double, but the star big man remains a productive offensive threat and has reached the 20-point mark in seven straight contests. The establishment of Anthony Edwards as a bonafide scoring threat and the revival of Rudy Gobert have translated into a decrease in Towns' overall fantasy numbers, but the Kentucky product remains a key contributor on offense for one of the best teams in the Western Conference.

Robinson finished with 10 points (5-7 FG), 11 rebounds, two blocks and two steals across 30 minutes during Monday's 117-100 loss to the Timberwolves.

Robinson holds a secondary role in the Knicks' offensive scheme, so it's not surprising to see this was just his third game with 10 or more points this season. Most of his value lies in what he can do defensively, particularly as a rebounder and rim protector. On that note, this was his ninth game with double-digit rebounds and his sixth with two or more blocks.

Valanciunas finished Monday's 129-93 victory over the Kings with 10 points (3-4 FG, 4-4 FT), 13 rebounds, seven assists, three blocks and one steal in 21 minutes.

Valanciunas didn't have many touches on offense, but he was extremely effective while making his presence felt on both ends of the court. The veteran big man ended just three assists away from a triple-double and notched multiple blocks for the fifth time across his last six appearances. Valanciunas might not be the dominant rim presence he once was, but he remains a productive asset in most fantasy formats, particularly in category-based leagues.
