Robinson put up 12 points (4-11 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), eight boards, three assists and one block in 24 minutes during Friday's 125-115 overtime loss to the Bulls.

The third-year big man had a solid night with the second unit, stringing together a season high in points with his second-best rebounding game of the year. Although his efficiency from the field left plenty to be desired, it was encouraging to see Robinson take as many shots as he did considering it was his highest mark of the season by a good margin. With the Raptors fairly thin at the center position, Robinson has an opportunity to carve out a real role in head coach Darko Rajakovic's rotation going forward.

Clarke (lips) is out for Saturday's game against the Spurs, Drew Hill of The Daily Memphian reports.

Clarke will miss a game just for the second time since the calendar flipped to the new year, as he's dealing with a laceration on his lip. This shouldn't be a serious injury, though, so his status for Monday's game against the Hawks is uncertain.

Collins dropped 15 points (5-10 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 13 boards, five assists, one steal and one block in 40 minutes during Friday's 125-115 overtime win against the Raptors.

In the absence of Nikola Vucevic (calf), Collins has continued to dominate the big-man minutes in head coach Billy Donovan's rotation. He once again made the most of his newfound role with his second straight double-double against the Raptors and is now averaging 18.3 points and 11.7 boards on 55.9 percent shooting in his past three outings. So long as Vucevic stays on the sidelines, Collins will remain a viable fantasy option. The former has already been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Pacers, making Collins an attractive waiver wire pickup if he hasn't already been snatched up.

Robinson (ankle) is listed as probable for Sunday's game versus the Heat.

Robinson made his season debut Friday and is expected to suit up Friday despite continuing to recover from left ankle surgery. If Robinson is upgraded to available against Miami, he should operate as the team's backup center to Karl-Anthony Towns.

Holmes isn't in the starting five for Saturday's game versus the Hornets.

Alex Sarr will replace Holmes in the starting lineup Saturday after missing Washington's previous three contests due to an ankle injury. Holmes is averaging 3.8 points, 6.2 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.0 blocks in 18.0 minutes across his previous five appearances coming off the bench.

Porzingis (illness) is doubtful for Sunday's game against the Nuggets, Jay King of The Athletic reports.

Porzingis missed Friday's loss to the Cavaliers with the illness, and the doubtful tag suggests his chances of playing Sunday are slim as well. The big man is averaging 17.9 points, 5.9 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 2.0 blocks and 1.0 steals per game across eight outings since the beginning of February.

Nurkic (illness) won't play in Saturday's game versus the Wizards.

Nurkic will miss a second straight game due to an illness. His next chance to suit up is Monday's matchup with Golden State.

Williams (knee) is out for Sunday's game against the Cavaliers.

Williams will miss a fifth straight game with the injury, and the veteran center has been limited to just three appearances since the beginning of February. His next chance to suit up will come against the 76ers on Monday in the second leg of a back-to-back set, though given his recent injury history, his chances of playing in that matchup are slim to none.

Vucevic (calf) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Pacers.

Vucevic will miss a fourth straight game Sunday for the Bulls, as he continues to deal with a right calf strain. Jalen Smith and Zach Collins will likely see more time on the floor due to the absence of the veteran big man.

Bradley agreed to a 10-day contract with the Pacers on Saturday, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.

After being waived by the Hawks in the preseason, Bradley has spent the 2024-25 campaign with the G League's College Park Skyhawks, averaging 14.0 points, 10.5 rebounds, 1.0 assists, 1.0 blocks and 0.5 steals in 22.8 minutes per game over 24 appearances. He'll add depth to the Indiana frontcourt but is unlikely to crack the rotation on a regular basis.
