Ware (knee) will not play Wednesday against the Cavaliers.

Ware will miss a second straight game due to a knee sprain. During Monday's 106-90 win over the Wizards, Kevin Love started in Ware's place and played 12 minutes, while all of Kyle Anderson, Pelle Larsson and Haywood Highsmith saw extra playing time off the bench.

The Raptors converted Robinson from a two-way contract to a standard one-year deal.

Toronto will bring Jared Rhoden aboard to fill Robinson's vacated two-way slot. Since he initially joined Toronto on a 10-day contract in January, Robinson has appeared in 17 games while averaging 5.5 points, 4.3 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 15.6 minutes per contest.

Adams (ankle) isn't listed on Houston's injury report for Tuesday's game against the Pacers.

It looks like Adams will suit up for the second night of a back-to-back set, but he was also omitted from the injury report for Monday's loss to the Thunder and didn't see any action, even with Alperen Sengun (back) sidelined. Adams appeared in nine of Houston's 13 contests in February, averaging 14.9 minutes per game.

Landale is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Pacers with left knee soreness.

Landale drew a start Monday against the Thunder, finishing with six points, three rebounds and one assist in 21 minutes. The Rockets will be getting a healthy Alperen Sengun back in the lineup Tuesday, however, along with several others.

Sengun (back) is not listed on Houston's injury report for Tuesday's game against the Pacers.

After sitting out Monday's loss to the Thunder, Sengun, Amen Thompson (shoulder) and Dillon Brooks (knee) will all be available for the second half of Houston's back-to-back set. Over his last seven appearances, Sengun has averaged 20.0 points, 11.9 rebounds, 4.1 assists and 1.0 blocks in 32.4 minutes per game.

Edey provided 15 points (6-8 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, two assists and one block across 27 minutes during Monday's 132-130 loss to the Hawks.

Jaren Jackson left this game early with an ankle sprain, and it's unclear if he'll be forced to miss additional time. If Jackson does end up missing some action, Edey could have a higher floor in fantasy formats. The rookie center has been pretty quiet lately, averaging 7.6 points, 7.5 rebounds and 1.4 blocks over his last 10 games.

Porzingis (illness) went through practice Tuesday, Souichi Terada of MassLive.com reports.

Porzingis has missed the last two games for the Celtics with an illness but could be trending toward returning to the floor Wednesday against the Trail Blazers. If the veteran big man can't play against Portland, Boston will likely turn to Al Horford to shoulder the load in the frontcourt.

Capela totaled 11 points (4-7 FG, 3-6 FT), four rebounds, one assist, one steal and one block in 16 minutes in Monday's 132-130 win over the Grizzlies.

Capela had a solid impact on offense Monday, scoring in double figures for the first time since returning from a back injury Jan. 28. The 30-year-old had been the unquestioned starting center for the Hawks from 2020 through the first 41 games this season, but he's taken a back seat to Onyeka Okongwu. In 10 games coming off the bench, Capela is averaging 8.1 points and 7.1 rebounds in 17.4 minutes.

Houston assigned Dante to the G League's Rio Grande Valley Vipers on Tuesday, Kelly Iko of The Athletic reports.

Dante made his NBA debut Monday against the Thunder, finishing with 10 points (4-6 FG, 2-3 FT), nine rebounds, two blocks and one assist over 19 minutes. The Rockets are likely to get some healthy bodies back in the rotation Tuesday, so it's not a surprise to see Dante back with the Vipers.

Duren closed with 16 points (5-5 FG, 6-8 FT), 12 rebounds, two assists, four blocks and two steals across 30 minutes during Monday's 134-106 win over Utah.

Duren racked up his 29th double-double of the campaign as the Pistons ran the Jazz out of the building in this one. Duren has been on a tear lately, posting second-round value in nine-category formats over his last 14 games with 14.1 points, 11.6 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 1.1 steals and 1.3 blocks in 26.3 minutes per contest.
