Adams is out for Saturday's game versus the Jazz due to left ankle soreness.

Adams will miss the second leg of Houston's back-to-back Saturday due to a sore left ankle. Jock Landale will likely receive increased playing time as the backup center to Alperen Sengun in his absence. Adams' next chance to suit up is Tuesday's matchup with Milwaukee.

Collins (back) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against Houston.

Collins is coming off a 26-point performance during the Jazz's 130-107 loss to the Thunder on Friday, but he appears to have come out of contest worse for wear with a sore lower back. Micah Potter, Brice Sensabaugh and KJ Martin would be candidates to enter Utah's starting lineup if Collins is unable to play Saturday.

Williams (knee) has been listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Hornets.

Williams has been in and out of the lineup for the Trail Blazers throughout the entire 2024-25 campaign thus far, as he's dealt with injuries. The veteran big man could end up missing another game Saturday after being listed as questionable with left knee soreness. Rookie Donovan Clingan will likely continue to get more time on the floor if Williams cannot play against Charlotte.

Adebayo (knee) closed Friday's 120-111 overtime victory over Toronto with 19 points (8-13 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 12 rebounds and one assist across 37 minutes.

Adebayo was held out of the Heat's final game before the All-Star break Feb. 13 in Dallas due to a bruised left knee, but he was likely just getting some maintenance for the second leg of a back-to-back seat. He was back in action Friday and came away with his third straight double-double and his fourth in his last five appearances. Adebayo has embraced a bigger role on both ends of the court since Jimmy Butler got suspended and subsequently traded, and his numbers back that up. He's averaging 22.4 points, 11.4 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 0.9 blocks per game in seven games since the beginning of February.

Sarr amassed 22 points (8-19 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 2-6 FT), seven rebounds, one assist, one block and two steals in 26 minutes during Friday's 104-101 loss to Milwaukee.

The Wizards suffered a tight loss to the Bucks on Friday, but Sarr made a strong case to be considered the best player on the floor. He led all scorers with 22 points and also filled the stat sheet and finished three boards shy of a double-double. This 22-point output was a new career-high mark for the rookie big man, who returned from an eight-game absence due to a left ankle sprain.

Collins provided 26 points (11-19 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 3-7 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one steal across 31 minutes during Friday's 130-107 loss to the Thunder.

The 27-year-old forward led all scorers on the night, but he didn't get a whole lot of help -- the Jazz were down by 21 at halftime, and only three of Collins' teammates even wound up scoring in double digits. The 26 points were Collins' best offensive performance since Nov. 14. After missing most of January with a hip injury and an illness, he's averaging 19.6 points, 7.3 boards, 1.4 blocks, 1.3 threes, 0.9 assists and 0.8 steals through eight appearances in February while shooting 52.3 percent from the floor.

Holmgren posted 20 points (7-15 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 5-6 FT), seven rebounds, one assist and three blocks across 28 minutes during Friday's 130-107 win over Utah.

It was Holmgren's best scoring effort since Nov. 8. Coming out of the All-Star break, he appears fully back up to game speed after missing nearly three months due to a hip injury. It's not clear whether Holmgren will be allowed to play in back-to-back contests yet, so he could get rested for one end of the Thunder's home-and-home set against the Timberwolves on Sunday and Monday.

Sengun accumulated 24 points (8-21 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 8-10 FT), 13 rebounds and two assists over 36 minutes during Friday's 121-115 victory over the Timberwolves.

After notching a double-double in each of the final two games before the All-Star break, Sengun picked up right where he left off when the Rockets' schedule resumed. The fourth-year center already has a career-high 33 double-doubles on the season. Over six full games since he returned from a calf injury in early February, he's averaging 20.2 points, 12.8 boards, 4.2 assists and 0.8 steals.

Reid closed with 22 points (9-16 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, three assists, three blocks and one steal across 34 minutes during Friday's 121-115 loss to Houston.

Making his ninth straight start in the absence of Julius Randle (groin), Reid also benefitted from Rudy Gobert (back) needing a little more rest coming out of the All-Star break. The three blocks tied Reid's season high, and he's scored more than 20 points in six of the last eight games, averaging 21.4 points, 9.4 boards, 3.9 assists, 2.9 threes, 1.6 blocks and 0.8 steals in 36.3 minutes a contest. Once Randle and Gobert are both healthy, Reid's usage and production will see a steep drop, but the 25-year-old big should remain in the starting five if only one of the veterans is cleared to return for Sunday and Monday's home-and-home set against the Thunder.

Kessler (thumb) tallied four points (2-4 FG, 0-2 FT), 19 rebounds, one assist, one steal and one block across 32 minutes in Friday's 130-107 loss to the Thunder.

Kessler was held out for the Jazz's final game of the first half on Feb. 13 versus the Clippers due to a left thumb sprain, but his absence was likely more of a maintenance day in the second leg of a back-to-back set. As expected, the third-year center was back in action after the All-Star break. Though he didn't come close to matching the 15.8 points he averaged over his previous four appearances, he made his presence felt on the boards and contributed in both defensive categories. The Jazz will wrap up another back-to-back set Saturday versus the Rockets, and fantasy managers will want to keep close tabs on his status leading up to the 9:30 p.m. ET tipoff, as Kessler could be a candidate to rest once again.
