Biyombo is not in the Spurs' starting lineup against the Celtics on Saturday.

Biyombo has started in 18 of 19 games for the Spurs this season, but he'll come off the bench Saturday while Jeremy Sochan draws the start at center. Biyombo has averaged 4.9 points, 5.3 rebounds and 1.5 assists over 18.5 minutes per game since the beginning of March.

Edey will start Saturday's game against the Lakers.

Edey will replace Santi Aldama in the first unit with the Grizzlies looking to shake things up after a blowout loss to the Thunder. As a starter this season, Edey holds averages of 8.7 points, 7.6 rebounds and 1.2 blocks.

Bagley (concussion) is available for Saturday's game against the Lakers, Michael C. Wright of ESPN.com reports.

Bagley has been sidelined for the Grizzlies' last two games, but he has cleared the league's concussion protocol and will be available off the bench for Saturday's contest. He's seen sparse playing time this season but offers depth at center behind Jaren Jackson and Zach Edey.

Jones (hip) will play Saturday against the Bulls.

Jones was able to shake off a questionable tag for this contest. Over his last five games, Jones has averaged 10.8 points, 8.0 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 0.8 blocks.

Gafford (knee) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Bulls.

Gafford won't return to the floor Saturday for Dallas, as his absence will extend to 21 games due to a sprained right knee. The next opportunity for the 26-year-old big man to return to the floor will be Monday against the Nets.

Davis (adductor) will play Saturday against the Bulls.

As expected, Davis will shake off a probable tag to suit up for this contest. He's been quiet in his last two appearances, averaging 13.5 points on 39.3 percent shooting from the field.

Lively (ankle) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Bulls.

Lively has been ramping up his activity and is in the final stages of his recovery from a right ankle injury that has kept him out of action since Jan. 14. He's not quite ready to return Saturday. Still, his next chance to play is Monday against the Nets.

Williams (rest) will not play Sunday against New Orleans.

As per usual, Williams will be held out of the opening leg of this back-to-back set. For now, the expectation is that Williams will be back in the lineup against the Jazz on Monday. In the meantime, Jusuf Nurkic and Moussa Diabate will likely soak up the bulk of the frontcourt minutes for Charlotte.

Drummond (toe) will miss the next five games for the 76ers, Noah Levick of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

Drummond has missed the last eight games for Philadelphia while nursing a toe injury on his left foot and will now miss five more. The veteran big man has played 40 games this season for the 76ers, averaging 7.3 points, 7.8 rebounds and 1.0 steals per game while shooting 50 percent from the field.

Ayton (calf) will not play Sunday against the Knicks.

Ayton has been sidelined since Feb. 12 due to a left calf strain, and the Trail Blazers have yet to provide an indication that he's getting closer to a return. Fantasy managers can consider him doubtful for Portland's next game Tuesday against Atlanta.
