    Bucks' Brook Lopez: Leads Milwaukee in loss

    Lopez finished with 23 points (9-11 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), seven rebounds, one assist and one steal in 36 minutes during Tuesday's 115-114 loss to the Pacers.

    Lopez finished as Milwaukee's leading scorer, marking his 11th outing with at least 20 points across 63 regular-season appearances. Additionally, the 36-year-old sank multiples triples for the fourth time over the club's last 10 outings. The veteran big man was extremely efficient while putting up double-digit shot attempts after three quiet outings on the offensive end. However, Lopez failed to record a block, ending his 14-game streak with at least one swat.

  • Cavaliers' Jarrett Allen: Tallies another 20-10 double-double

    Allen finished Tuesday's 109-104 victory over the Nets with 23 points (7-12 FG, 9-11 FT), 13 rebounds, one assist and three blocks across 34 minutes.

    Allen owned the paint in Tuesday's contest, leading all Cavaliers in rebounds and blocks while finishing as one of three players with 20 or more points in a well-rounded double-double. Allen has surpassed the 20-point mark in 11 contests, adding 10 or more boards in 10 of those outings.

  • Wizards' Richaun Holmes: Ejected Tuesday

    Holmes was ejected from Tuesday's game against the Pistons after being assessed a Flagrant 2 foul, Omari Sankofa II of the Detroit Free Press reports.

    The 31-year-old center was tossed after elbowing Ausar Thompson in the mouth while protecting the ball, per Sankofa. Holmes will finish the game with 14 points (6-10 FG, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and one steal across 22 minutes.

  • Yves Missi C | NO

    Pelicans' Yves Missi: Returns from locker room Tuesday

    Missi (ankle) returned to Tuesday's game against the Clippers with 6:28 remaining in the second quarter.

    Missi limped back to the locker room with 2:59 remaining in the first quarter due to an apparent ankle injury, per the broadcast. However, the rookie big man has since returned following a brief exit, and he will likely be able to shoulder his normal workload the rest of the way.

  • Yves Missi C | NO

    Pelicans' Yves Missi: Exits to locker room Tuesday

    Missi exited to the locker room in the first quarter of Tuesday's game against the Clippers due to an apparent lower-body injury, Jake Madison of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

    Missi limped back to the locker room with 2:59 remaining in the opening quarter. If the rookie big man is unable to return, Mo Bamba and Karlo Matkovic will likely see a bump in playing time the rest of the way.

  • Trail Blazers' Robert Williams: Iffy to return Wednesday

    Williams (knee) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Knicks.

    Williams has missed the Trail Blazers' last 10 games due to a left knee sprain. The seventh-year center out of Texas A&M has played in only 20 games (three starts) this season and is averaging 5.8 points, 5.9 rebounds, 1.1 assists and 1.7 blocks over 17.6 minutes per game.

  • Nikola Jokic C | DEN

    Nuggets' Nikola Jokic: Expected to play against Minnesota

    Jokic (elbow/ankle) is listed as probable for Wednesday's game versus the Timberwolves.

    Jokic continues to deal with a right elbow contusion and a left ankle impingement but hasn't missed a game since Jan. 15. Considering the superstar big man has played over 40 minutes in each of his last three outings, he is unlikely to operate on a minutes restriction if he's upgraded to available yet again.

  • Rudy Gobert C | MIN

    Timberwolves' Rudy Gobert: Questionable to face Denver

    Gobert (back) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Nuggets.

    Gobert made his return from a 10-game absence due to a lower back injury in Sunday's win over the Spurs, during which he posted 16 points (7-8 FG, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and two steals across 20 minutes. The big man will likely operate under a minutes restriction if he's able to play Wednesday. However, if Gobert is ruled out, Naz Reid and Luka Garza could receive a bump in minutes.

  • Clippers' Drew Eubanks: Not playing Tuesday

    Eubanks (hip) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Pelicans.

    Eubanks won't play Tuesday due to left hip soreness, and with the Clippers playing a back-to-back set, that puts him in jeopardy of missing Wednesday's game against the Heat. With Eubanks and Ben Simmons (knee) both sidelined, Kobe Brown could see an uptick in minutes as the Clippers' backup center behind Ivica Zubac.

  • Spurs' Charles Bassey: Ruled out for Wednesday

    Bassey (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Mavericks, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.

    Bassey has missed the last eight games for the Spurs while dealing with a bruise on his left knee. The next opportunity for the 24-year-old big man to get back on the floor will be Friday against the Hornets.
