Lakers' Anthony Davis: Probable against Philadelphia
Davis (foot) has been listed as probable for Tuesday's matchup against the 76ers, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.
After an incredible performance in Monday's win against the Hornets, Davis will likely play in the second game of a back-to-back Tuesday in Philadelphia. The veteran big man was thought to potentially rest against the 76ers, especially after recording a season-high 42 points and 23 rebounds in Charlotte. However, he's trending toward playing, which is good news for Los Angeles, who'll be trying to win a fifth straight game.

Brandon Clarke C | MEM
Grizzlies' Brandon Clarke: Scores 10 off bench
Clarke produced 10 points (4-6 FG, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, one assist and one block over 17 minutes during Monday's 143-106 loss to the Knicks.
The Grizzlies have a very deep rotation when the team is mostly healthy, making it hard for Clarke to see a significant workload. Clarke has averaged 19.0 minutes across 13 January appearances to go with 8.8 points, 4.8 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 1.0 steals.

Ivica Zubac C | IND
Clippers' Ivica Zubac: Scores season-high 25 points
Zubac supplied 25 points (12-17 FG, 1-1 FT), 16 rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal over 34 minutes during Monday's 111-109 loss to the Suns.
Zubac recorded his best scoring output of the season but was also impressive on the boards, as this was his 15th game with at least 15 rebounds. That impressive ability on both ends of the court has catapulted Zubac to the status of being one of the top centers in The Association this season. He's averaging 15.2 points, 12.9 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1.5 blocks per game since the beginning of January.

Daniel Gafford C | DAL
Mavericks' Daniel Gafford: Excellent two-way play
Gafford finished Monday's 130-108 victory over the Wizards with 18 points (8-13 FG, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, three assists and five blocks over 24 minutes.
Gafford has been making the most of the minutes he's earning in a depleted Mavericks frontcourt, and he's proving to be a reliable presence on both ends of the court for Dallas. Since moving to a starting role Jan. 15 during a 119-116 loss to the Pelicans seven games ago, Gafford is averaging 18.4 points, 10.4 rebounds, 3.3 blocks and 2.3 assists per game. With Dereck Lively (ankle) and Maxi Kleber (foot) out for at least a couple of months, Gafford should continue starting for the Mavericks.

Orlando Robinson C | CHI
Raptors' Orlando Robinson: Nets another 10-day deal
The Raptors re-signed Robinson to a second 10-day contract Tuesday, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.
Robinson's first 10-day contract expired earlier Tuesday, but Toronto will bring him back in advance of their next game Wednesday versus the Wizards. He played in three games during his first 10-day deal, averaging 2.7 points, 2.3 rebounds and 0.7 blocks in 11.0 minutes. Robinson will likely serve as the top backup to starting center Jakob Poeltl on Wednesday if Kelly Olynyk (calf) is forced to miss a third straight game.

Kel'el Ware C | MIL
Heat's Kel'el Ware: Double-doubles in win
Ware logged 19 points (7-8 FG, 4-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 10 rebounds, one block and two steals across 42 minutes during Monday's 125-119 double-overtime victory over the Magic.
It's safe to say Ware is enjoying his new role in the starting lineup alongside Bam Adebayo. Over his last five games, Ware leads Miami in nine-category fantasy value, posting second-round numbers with averages of 18.6 points, 9.8 rebounds, 1.2 steals and 1.8 blocks on 52.9 percent shooting from the field and 90.0 percent from the line. His fantasy arrow is pointing straight up.

Bam Adebayo C | MIA
Heat's Bam Adebayo: Nearly triple-doubles
Adebayo totaled 26 points (10-15 FG, 6-8 FT), 10 rebounds, nine assists and one steal across 44 minutes during Monday's 125-119 double-overtime win over the Magic.
Adebayo finished one assist shy of recording his ninth career triple-double. He previously struggled to adjust to his new role alongside Kel'el Ware, but the veteran put those concerns to bed Monday as the duo combined to log 86 minutes in the double-overtime win with both players posting massive lines.

Wendell Carter Jr. C | ORL
Magic's Wendell Carter: Plays 36 minutes in loss
Carter accumulated 14 points (5-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-3 FT), seven rebounds, five assists and one steal in 36 minutes during Monday's 125-119 double-overtime loss to the Heat.
Goga Bitadze returned to action Monday but saw 22 minutes compared to 36 for Carter. The double overtime inflated this number, however, and Bitadze was likely on some restrictions. Despite this strong showing for Carter, the presence of Bitadze will make this a position battle worth monitoring closely.

Luke Kornet C | SA
Celtics' Luke Kornet: Impresses as starter
Kornet totaled 18 points (8-9 FG, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal across 33 minutes during Monday's 114-112 loss to the Rockets.
This was a terrific showing for Kornet as he picked up the start due to Derrick White (leg) being unavailable. Al Horford (toe) was expected to play but was ultimately a late scratch that went unreported by Boston. Kornet has fared well as a fill-in starter this season, averaging 11.2 points, 4.7 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 2.3 blocks in six games.

Al Horford C | GS
Celtics' Al Horford: Active, but doesn't play Monday
Horford (toe) went unused off the bench in Monday's 114-112 loss to Houston.
Horford had been listed as questionable heading into Monday with a left big toe sprain and was upgraded to available, with the Celtics even including him in their initial starting five. However, the Celtics made the late decision to scratch him from the lineup, with head coach Joe Mazulla noting that the team determined two minutes before opening tip that Horford wouldn't be available to play, per Jay King of The Athletic. Fantasy managers can consider Horford questionable for Wednesday's game against the Bulls.
