Al Horford C | BOS
Celtics' Al Horford: Iffy for Wednesday
Horford (toe) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game versus the Clippers, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.
Horford has consistently sat out one of leg of Boston's back-to-backs this season. If the veteran big man is downgraded to out Wednesday, Luke Kornet and Neemias Queta are candidates to receive increased playing time.

Celtics' Jrue Holiday: Iffy for Wednesday
Holiday (shoulder) has been listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Clippers, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.
Holiday has only missed six games this season for the Celtics but could be trending toward not playing in Wednesday's game against the Clippers due to a lingering shoulder issue. Payton Pritchard could get more time on the floor if Holiday can't go against Los Angeles.

Mavericks' Dwight Powell: Out against Minnesota
Powell (hip) is out for Wednesday's game against the Timberwolves.
Powell will miss a second straight game with a right hip strain Wednesday. If Dereck Lively (ankle) joins him on the shelf against Minnesota, Daniel Gafford should dominate the center minutes for the Mavericks while Maxi Kleber likely operates as Dallas' top backup big man off the bench.

Chris Boucher C | TOR
Raptors' Chris Boucher: Conflicting reports on status
Despite previous reports, Boucher (illness) is listed as available on the injury report for Tuesday's game versus the Magic.
Michael Grange of Sportsnet.ca and Esfandiar Braheni of The Athletic have both reported that Boucher will sit out Tuesday due to an illness. Still, the Raptor's official injury report and the daily lineups page on NBA.com both indicate that Boucher is available. Due to this conflicting information, it remains to be seen if Boucher will ultimately suit up against Orlando.
