  • Anthony Davis PF | WAS

    Mavericks' Anthony Davis: Questionable against Orlando

    Davis (adductor) has been listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Magic.

    After missing Tuesday's loss to the Knicks, Davis has a chance to play Thursday in Orlando. The superstar big man finished with 12 points, six rebounds, three assists, one steal and one block in the win over the Nets on Monday after missing 18 straight games for Dallas with an adductor injury.

  • 76ers' Andre Drummond: No timetable for return

    Head coach Nick Nurse indicated Wednesday that Drummond (toe) does not have a timetable on a return, Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com reports.

    Drummond has been out of action since March 12 due to a left toe sprain that has bothered him since late December. With no clear indication on a return and Joel Embiid (knee) out for the season, Guerschon Yabusele will continue to start at center while Adem Bona serves as his backup.

  • Spurs' Charles Bassey: Ruled out for Thursday

    Bassey (knee) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Cavaliers, Jeff Garcia of KENS 5 San Antonio reports.

    Bassey will miss a 17th straight game for the Spurs while dealing with a left knee issue. The next opportunity for the 24-year-old big man to return to the floor will be Saturday against the Celtics.

  • Steven Adams C | HOU

    Rockets' Steven Adams: Iffy for Thursday

    Adams is questionable for Thursday's game against the Jazz with right wrist pain.

    This sounds like a day-to-day issue for Adams, but the Rockets are typically pretty careful with the veteran center. If Adams ends up sitting out, Jock Landale could soak up the backup center minutes for Houston.

  • Knicks' Mitchell Robinson: Not listed on injury report

    Robinson (ankle) isn't listed on New York's injury report for Wednesday's game against the Clippers.

    Mitchell sat out Tuesday's win over Dallas, but as expected, he'll be back in action for the second half of New York's back-to-back set. Over his last six appearances, the backup big man has averaged 5.7 points, 6.5 rebounds, 1.5 steals and 1.3 blocks in 18.2 minutes per game.

  • Nikola Jokic C | DEN

    Nuggets' Nikola Jokic: Now questionable for Wednesday

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

    Jokic was previously listed as doubtful, but his upgrade in status offers hope that he'll making hisreturn from a five-game absence due to a left ankle impingement. If he does get the green light to play, Jokic could face restrictions in his first game back. Look for DeAndre Jordan to move back to the bench if Jokic is cleared ahead of the 9 p.m. ET tipoff.

  • Kings' Jonas Valanciunas: Plays just eight minutes

    Valanciunas totaled two points (0-4 FG, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and one assist across eight minutes during Tuesday's 121-105 loss to Oklahoma City.

    With Domantas Sabonis playing both games of this back-to-back set with an average of 35.0 minutes, there isn't much room for Valanciunas to produce much fantasy value. Over his last two games, Valanciunas has averaged a mere 10.5 minutes per contest.

  • Rockets' Alperen Sengun: Fills stat sheet Tuesday

    Sengun racked up 18 points (8-19 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal over 38 minutes during Tuesday's 121-114 victory over Atlanta.

    Sengun couldn't replicate the impressive triple-double he notched against the Nuggets on Sunday, but the big man continues to fill the stat sheet every time he steps on the hardwood. Sengun's numbers might not be as inflated as they were earlier in the season, but he remains very productive in a position where there isn't a lot of top-end talent. The All-Star big man is averaging 17.2 points, 10.9 rebounds, 5.1 assists and a combined 2.0 steals-plus-blocks per game over his last 10 appearances.

  • Hawks' Onyeka Okongwu: Impressive double-double

    Okongwu contributed 14 points (6-14 FG, 2-4 3Pt), 15 rebounds and three assists over 38 minutes during Tuesday's 121-114 loss to the Rockets.

    Okongwu has been one of the standout performers for the Hawks this season, and he has taken full advantage of his new role as the starting center. The big man has started in 31 contests in a row and is averaging 14.7 points, 10.0 rebounds and a combined 2.2 steals-plus-blocks per game in that stretch.

  • Bam Adebayo C | MIA

    Heat's Bam Adebayo: Stuffs stat sheet Tuesday

    Adebayo accumulated 27 points (9-18 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 7-9 FT), eight rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal across 34 minutes during Tuesday's 112-86 victory over the Warriors.

    The Heat delivered a dominant performance on both ends of the court Tuesday, and it's safe to say Adebayo played a huge role in the victory, leading the team in scoring and ending just two boards shy of a double-double. The star big man hasn't recorded a double-double since March 10, but he remains an impactful player who can fill the stat sheet on any given game. He's averaging a solid line of 17.4 points, 7.6 rebounds, 4.0 assists and a combined 2.1 steals-plus-blocks per game over his last 10 contests.
