Davis (foot) is available for Sunday's game against the Clippers, Daniel Starkand of LakersNation.com reports.

Davis was tabbed as a game-time call for this matchup, but it seems things went well during the pre-game routine, as he's been upgraded to available and will make his return to the starting lineup after a one-game absence. Expect the big man to be the Lakers' go-to option on offense while handling his regular workload as an all-around, two-way contributor.

Hayes (shoulder) is available for Sunday's game against the Clippers, Daniel Starkand of LakersNation.com reports. He'll come off the bench since Anthony Davis (foot) is available and starting.

Hayes will add some much-needed depth in the frontcourt in this matchup, where he'll have to battle against the likes of Ivica Zubac and Mo Bamba. Hayes should see decent minutes in this game, though he's not expected to have a big impact in most fantasy formats due to his bench role.

Ware amassed 25 points (10-19 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and two blocks in 34 minutes during Sunday's 128-107 victory over the Spurs.

It was a standout performance off Miami's bench by Ware, who ended up exceeding Bam Adebayo's minutes total while matching his season high with 25 points to lead the team in Sunday's rout. Ware has made a serious case for more playing time with the Heat since the calendar flipped to January, as he's averaging 12.3 points, 6.0 rebounds, 1.4 blocks and 1.0 threes while shooting 45.8 percent from three-point land in 20.6 minutes over his last 11 games. The rookie first-rounder's fantasy upside will remain capped while Adebayo is healthy, but Ware is flashing a unique skill set for providing treys and swats alongside a high field-goal percentage.

Porzingis (foot) is not on the injury report for Monday's game against the Warriors, Jay King of The Athletic reports.

The Celtics have a clean bill of health for Monday's matchup, meaning both Porzingis and Al Horford are available. Porzingis is likely to remain in the starting lineup, as he's averaging 19.6 points, 8.3 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.6 blocks per game across seven starts in January.

Horford (toe) is not on the injury report for Monday's game against the Warriors, Jay King of The Athletic reports.

Horford missed the loss to the Hawks on Saturday, the second leg of a back-to-back set, but the veteran big man will be available Monday. As has been the trend of late, Horford could come off the bench Monday, as Jayson Tatum and Kristaps Porzingis are expected to start in the frontcourt.

Zubac (back) is available for Sunday's game against the Lakers, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.

Zubac was one of several regulars who were deemed questionable for this rivalry matchup, but the big man will give it a go and suit up Sunday. He's been an excellent two-way threat for the Clippers, averaging 14.0 points, 12.6 rebounds and 1.9 blocks per game since the beginning of January.

Landale (personal) is not on the injury report for Monday's game against the Pistons.

Landale missed Saturday's win over the Trail Blazers due to a personal problem, but the big man will suit up and be available Monday. That said, he essentially provides depth in the frontcourt, so he's not going to provide a lot of fantasy value even when available.

Ayton (back) is available for Sunday's game against the Bulls, Danny Marang of 1080 The Fan Portland reports.

Ayton was deemed probable earlier Sunday for the second leg of this back-to-back set, and he'll end up starting due to the absences of Robert Williams (rest) and Donovan Clingan (ankle). Ayton is averaging 9.6 points, 9.1 rebounds and 1.4 assists per game across seven contests since the beginning of January.

Wembanyama racked up 21 points (8-18 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 2-6 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists and one block across 30 minutes during Sunday's 128-107 loss to Miami.

Wembanyama has now recorded 19 double-doubles this season, seven of which have come in his last eight appearances. The budding superstar is averaging 22.5 points, 12.4 rebounds, 3.9 blocks, 3.2 assists, 1.2 steals, and 2.8 threes across his last 10 contests. Wembanyama remains the league leader in blocks by a wide margin with his 4.0 rejections per contest.

Kessler (rest) is available for Monday's game against the Pelicans, Ben Anderson of KSL News Salt Lake City reports.

Kessler received rest in Friday's loss to the Pelicans, but he'll be available for Monday's rematch. His return will give the Jazz a much-needed boost on both ends of the court, and it'll likely push Drew Eubanks back to the bench.
