Tonje achieved his best scoring tally since March 10 while leading his squad in points and steals Tuesday. While Maine won't have any more games this season, the versatile man is serving under a two-way contract and could see limited minutes for the NBA team in the remaining contests. His final G League regular-season numbers were 17.8 points, 4.5 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 0.7 steals per game.
Johnson will shed his questionable tag for this contest. He's been struggling lately, shooting 44.1 percent from the field over his last three games with 11.3 points, 2.7 rebounds and 1.3 assists.
Harkless will miss a second straight game, joining Isaiah Collier (hamstring) and Keyonte George (hamstring) on the sidelines. In their absences, Kennedy Chandler, who signed a second 10-day contract with the Jazz on Wednesday, should see ample playing time. Harkless' next chance to suit up will come Friday in Houston.
During his first 10-day deal, Chandler saw extensive playing time for the injury-ravaged Jazz. Over his six appearances, he shot 43.1 percent from the field and 36.4 percent from downtown while averaging 14.2 points, 6.8 assists, 3.2 rebounds, 1.3 three-pointers and 1.0 steals in 32.3 minutes. With Isaiah Collier (hamstring), Keyonte George (hamstring) and Elijah Harkless (hamstring) all out, Chandler could start and should retain a major role during Wednesday's game against the Nuggets.
Coulibaly is set to return from a one-game absence. The second-year forward is averaging 14.0 points, 4.4 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.0 three-pointers in 25.0 minutes over his last five contests.
This is a tough blow for an injury-depleted Washington frontcourt. With Sarr out for a third straight contest, the Wizards will likely lean more on Tristan Vukcevic and Anthony Gill.
Bridges had one of his most efficient performances from the field during his final game of the 2025-26 campaign. He featured as a regular starter throughout the season, averaging 14.2 points, 4.9 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.4 steals per game. Additionally, he converted more than two three-pointers in 32 of his 49 appearances.
Playing in his first game since Feb. 21 due to a fractured left hand, Brooks showed some obvious rust and had his minutes monitored by design. He was averaging 20.9 points, 3.7 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.0 steals prior to the injury, so fantasy managers will be looking for him to find his footing shortly.
Nix led his side in scoring and assists while ranking second in rebounds during the first playoffs round against Austin. After securing a triple-double on March 26, the guard has remained a key all-around contributor and has now registered more than 30 points, seven rebounds and six assists in three consecutive contests.
Ingram delivered an excellent stat line which wasn't enough for the G League Spurs to avoid elimination against the Vipers. Ingram is still a two-way option for San Antonio but hasn't played at the NBA level since Feb. 21, so he's unlikely to play a meaningful role for the rest of the season. He completed a solid campaign with Austin, as his 29 double-doubles represented the highest figure in the whole G League and he also led the squad with an average of 12.1 rebounds per game.
Harper will shake off a questionable tag for this contest. With the Celtics mostly healthy, Harper is likely to be an emergency depth option.
Mangas posted a season-high scoring count in his team's final game of the campaign, although he wasn't too active in other aspects of the game. He finished in good form with more than 25 points in four of his last six starts, and his 16.7 points per game ranked fourth among Austin players during the regular season. Other than that, he averaged 4.2 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 1.2 steals and 0.6 blocks per contest over that span.
Giddey has some left hamstring tightness and was a late addition to the injury report, and that's an ominous sign in fantasy hoops. If Giddey is unable to play, the Bulls are likely to lean more on Rob Dillingham and Collin Sexton.
Mitchell was available again after struggling with a muscular issue over the past month. Although he had his minutes managed, Mitchell was efficient on his few attempts, and he performed slightly above his average of 6.5 points per contest. The 23-year-old will likely remain a bench option behind John Knight and Tristen Newton going forward.
Abogidi bounced back following a short absence due to his calf injury, but he got limited playing time against Austin. Despite that fact, the center was rather active on the boards, increasing his season average to 6.4 rebounds per game. He'll push for more involvement in upcoming matchups, offering an alternative to Olisa Akonobi if Isaiah Todd (elbow) remains out.
Embiid wasn't previously on the injury report, so this is an unfortunate development for his fantasy managers. He was dealing with an illness back on Monday against Miami, yet he posted 26 points (10-25 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 4-5 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and one block in 34 minutes. Adem Bona and Andre Drummond will likely pick up some minutes with Embiid on the shelf.
Payton came off the bench but played more minutes than in any of previous last 11 games before his absence. He racked up at least six assists for the eighth time in his last 10 outings while adding multiple steals for the third consecutive contest. In any case, he'll have to wait for his next chance to produce, given that his team has been knocked out of the G League playoffs.
Todd is at risk of facing a longer absence ahead of the decisive G League games, in which case he would be unable to increase his season tallies of nine points, seven rebounds and two assists over three appearances. The center had recently moved to a starting spot, but that role was taken by Olisa Akonobi in the last contest.
Johnson has made only one appearance since joining the Vipers in March, and he's now questionable for the next rounds. In case he regains health soon, he'll have a few opportunities to challenge Tristen Newton for playing time, most likely doing so from a second-unit role.
Miller was unable to help his team avoid an early exit from the G League playoffs, with Stanley Umude replacing him in the starting lineup. While the type and severity of the two-way player's issue remain unknown, he might not see a lot of action for the remainder of the campaign unless he makes a quick recovery and is considered for a bench role with the parent team. Miller was quite consistent in the G League during the campaign, averaging 16.5 points, 6.5 rebounds and 1.9 assists per game.
Making his fifth straight start in place of Marcus Smart (ankle), LaRavia scored in double digits for the first time since Feb. 28. During his latest stint in the starting five, the fourth-year wing is averaging 6.2 points, 3.6 boards, 1.8 steals and 0.8 assists in 28.4 minutes while shooting an improbable 76.5 percent from the floor, and it's not clear how much more time Smart might miss as the Lakers fight to hang onto the No. 3 seed in the Western Conference.
It was Ayton's best scoring effort since March 12 as he moves past a back issue that sidelined him last Wednesday and limited his to 22 minutes in each of his prior two games. The 27-year-old center's production was inconsistent in March even when healthy, as he averaged 11.1 points, 7.8 boards, 1.1 blocks and 0.9 assists in 25.5 minutes over 15 appearances on the month, but he did shoot 73.3 percent from the floor.
The fifth-year guard delivered another solid performance as he put the finishing touches on a productive March. Over the last 13 games, Reaves averaged 23.4 points, 6.1 assists, 4.7 boards, 2.2 threes and 1.3 steals, supplanting LeBron James as the second option in the Lakers' offense behind Luka Doncic.
It was the first time since March 13 that Bryant had played 20 or more minutes, as the Cavaliers emptied their bench with the Lakers up 110-83 heading into the fourth quarter. The 28-year-old journeyman responded with his best scoring effort since Dec. 23 while tying his season high in made three-pointers. Bryant has had a steady role in the Cavs' frontcourt since the All-Star break, and over the last 17 games he's averaging 15.6 minutes while contributing 8.4 points, 4.4 boards, 1.0 threes and 1.0 combined blocks and steals.
The Cavaliers emptied their bench in the fourth quarter with the Lakers up 110-83, but Allen still led his team in scoring despite his reduced workload. The 27-year-old center also sat out the front end of Cleveland's back-to-back Monday as he works his way back from a knee injury and played just 18 minutes in his return Friday, and the team's priority will be to make sure he's 100 percent for the playoffs. Allen may not get much more court time Thursday in a road clash with the Warriors.
Turner delivered a loaded stat line with at least two tallies in four of the five major categories, but overall, this has been a disappointing season for the former Pacers big man. He's had issues adjusting to the offense, and his numbers have taken a drastic hit as a result. Turner 11.9 points, 5.3 rebounds and 1.6 blocks per game in 2025-26, and he's experiencing a marked decrease in each of those categories compared to the previous seasons.
Kuzma was one of two Milwaukee players who scored at least 20 points in this win Tuesday, with Ryan Rollins (24 points, seven rebounds, nine assists) being the other. The veteran forward returned to the hardwood after overcoming an Achilles injury, and he should be a reliable contributor for Milwaukee in the final two weeks of the regular season.
Dieng returned to the bench due to the return of Kyle Kuzma (Achilles) to the lineup, but he still posted an impressive double-double. Dieng is finally getting consistent minutes at the NBA level, and he's proving he can perform at a decent level. Over his last eight games (six starts), Dieng is averaging 12.0 points, 4.4 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 1.3 steals across 29.4 minutes per game while posting double-digit scoring numbers in six of those outings. Even if he ends the regular season coming off the bench, he's an option worth keeping close tabs on as a potential streamer, mainly in category-based leagues due to his ability to fill the stat sheet.
Mathurin surged with three solid games following a four-game absence, but he crashed back to earth Tuesday night. He logged his second-lowest shot volume of the season in the loss, and although Mathurin usually comes off the bench, his low total illustrates how the team depends on the sixth man for production. The team is 1-3 when Mathurin scores less than 10 points.
Poulakidas made his season debut with the Mavs on March 3, and while his playing time has been inconsistent, he's finding ways to produce when given enough minutes. This 11-point output was a season-high mark for the rookie, although it's hard to trust him in fantasy given his role. After all, he's appeared in just seven of the Mavs' 17 games since the beginning of March.
Cisse didn't provide much on offense, although he made his presence felt, considering he didn't have many touches. His real fantasy value came on the defensive end and as a rebounder. In three appearances in March, Cisse racked up 32 rebounds, four steals and five blocks while scoring 14 points on 7-for-13 shooting. He won't be a game-changer in most fantasy formats with the playoffs about to end, but he could be useful in category-based leagues for managers looking to bolster their frontcourt via an streaming alternative.
Garland logged a high shot volume but had trouble finding the bottom of the basket during the defeat. Although Garland has been generally productive, his scoring results have been wildly erratic, alternating between prolific totals and underwhelming performances. Although assists have padded his fantasy totals, the team needs more consistency from the guard down the stretch.
Leonard received ample support from his teammates and had the goods to take down the Trail Blazers, but Portland rode the momentum and outplayed them in the second half. While the Clippers are essentially a lock for the play-in tournament, they will have to face Portland again in 10 days. The Clippers will need superior numbers from Leonard as they try to hold onto the eighth seed.
Flagg delivered a better performance than in his previous game, when he posted 12 points on 5-for-19 shooting in a loss to the Timberwolves on Monday. However, the star rookie has been struggling with his shot considerably in recent weeks, perhaps showing signs of fatigue from the long grind of his first season in the NBA. Flagg has gone three straight games without draining a three-pointer, but the long-range woes date back to March 6 when he returned from a foot sprain. In his last 15 games, Flagg is averaging 19.9 points per game but is shooting just 18.2 percent from beyond the arc while attempting multiple threes in all but two of those contests.
The Trail Blazers have rattled off two consecutive victories without Clingan's usual production. The prolific rebounder has recorded a paltry nine boards over the past two games, well below his seasonal average of 11.6 rebounds per game. While others have picked up the slack, the team lacks a key element of their success without Clingan's proficiency off the glass. He'll take a day off and try to right the ship Thursday against the Pelicans.
The Trail Blazers employed a smaller lineup amid Jerami Grant's (calf) absence, running Henderson alongside Jrue Holiday in the backcourt for a second consecutive game. The move has reaped significant benefits with two convincing victories. Shaedon Sharpe's (calf) extended absence has opened a window for Henderson to show his potential after fading into the woodwork for most of the season behind Holiday. The team will likely ride with this successful scheme until Grant returns.
Even though Paolo Banchero and Jalen Suggs posted solid stat lines across the board, it was Bane who led the Magic in scoring with a strong showing. Bane has scored at least 17 points in five games in a row and has made at least two three-pointers in three consecutive appearances, so he's doing what is asked of him. The veteran guard averaged a robust 20.4 points per game in March while shooting 38.3 percent from deep, so fantasy managers shouldn't have a problem relying on him even if he has a few down games here and there.
Banchero had a not-so-great shooting performance in this win over the Suns, but that shouldn't matter much from a fantasy perspective, as he contributed enough in other categories to finish just one board and two dimes away from a triple-double. Even if Jalen Suggs and Desmond Bane carried the Magic offensively in this win, it's hard to downplay the impact Banchero has offensively for the Magic. The star forward averaged 24.9 points, 7.9 rebounds and 5.2 assists per game in March.
Avdija padded his total with another great result at the charity stripe. The Portland standout has logged 23 games with 10 or more free-throw attempts, eclipsed only by Luka Doncic. Avdija also finished as the team's top rebounder, a milestone usually reserved for Donovan Clingan, who endured one of his worst games of the season. Avdija has recorded solid numbers since returning from a six-game absence, averaging 21.8 points, 6.8 rebounds, 6.8 assists and 1.7 steals over a 13-game span.
Carter was efficient on both ends of the court and posted his second double-double over the last three games. While Carter's upside on offense is the one of being the team's No. 3 option in a best-case scenario, he ultimately produces enough even in a limited role to be considered a strong fantasy option. Carter ended the month of March scoring in double digits in nine of his last 10 appearances, averaging 13.6 points, 7.3 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.0 steals per contest.
Devin Booker carried the Suns in this tight loss to the Magic, and there's a big chance that the outcome of the game could've been different had Green been more accurate with his shot -- he made 30 percent of his field goals and missed all five of his treys. That said, Green was coming off five straight games with at least 20 points, so there's a big chance this was just a bump on the road for the talented scorer. Green averaged 21.8 points per game while appearing in each of the Suns' 16 games during the past month, which in itself is huge for Green considering the injury issues he's had all season long.
Fleming made the most of his limited minutes Tuesday, and he delivered double-digit points despite playing under 20 minutes for the first time this season. Even though all four of Fleming's double-digit scoring performances came in March, it's hard to trust him since he regularly comes off the bench and often plays under 25 minutes. With that kind of role, projecting Fleming to contribute steadily in fantasy is a tough task.
Even though he remains a player with decent fantasy upside due to the tight grip he has on a starting role, it's worth noting he's been trending in the wrong direction for a while now. Gillespie might have scored in double digits in seven of his last eight games, but over that stretch, he's averaging 12.9 points, 3.4 rebounds and 5.4 assists per contest while shooting 38.5 percent from the floor and 34.8 percent from three-point range.
Holiday took control on the offensive end and led the Blazers in scoring and made treys. He did so in an efficient manner by drilling 46.7 of his attempts from beyond the arc, and he fell one triple shy of tying his season high in three-point makes. Holiday isn't at the stage in his career where he's able to supply this type of pop on a nightly basis, but he still has a few elite performances in the tank.
Doncic didn't skip a beat after serving a one-game suspension Monday against the Wizards for picking up his 16th technical foul of the campaign. He put together an offensive masterpiece and secured his first double-double since March 18 by reaching double-digit assists. Doncic reached the 40-point threshold for the 16th time this year and closed March by reaching the 40-point mark in three consecutive showings.
Ausland notes that Collins appeared to suffer the injury while competing with Brook Lopez for a rebound. Collins checked out of the game with 6:23 remaining in the third period to get evaluated in the locker room. He would later emerge from the tunnel in time to start the final period of play.
Sheppard moved back to the bench, although he still managed to maintain his recent momentum. While his demotion was seemingly a step in the wrong direction, head coach Ime Udoka spoke prior to the game, indicating this was merely a temporary move, with Sheppard likely back in the starting lineup for Wednesday's matchup with the Bucks. Continue to roster him with confidence.
Capela's role, although relatively secure, is certainly not that of a player aspiring to be a starter in the NBA. Now toward the backend of his career, Capela is really the only option Houston has in terms of a backup center. While he can provide sporadic contributions in both rebounds and blocks, his production has been far too inconsistent to warrant fantasy attention.
Robinson has struggled to have an impact in recent times, averaging just 4.0 points, 5.0 rebounds and 1.0 blocks in 19.9 minutes per game across his past three appearances. Although he has been mostly healthy, his impact remains inconsistent, particularly from a fantasy standpoint. At best, managers can consider him for streaming purposes when in need of boards and blocks.
Sochan saw the court for just the third time in the past nine games, all of which have been during garbage time. Since arriving in New York, Sochan has been unable to carve out a consistent role, logging double-digit minutes only once in 13 appearances.
Clarkson has been mostly a non-factor this season, sitting outside the top 350 through 66 appearances. Tuesday's double-digit performance was just the second time he has reached that mark in his past six games. With season averages of 8.9 points and 1.1 three-pointers, it's tough to make a case for him, even as a potential stream option.
It's not clear when Goodwin suffered the injury, but head coach Jordan Ott noted after the matchup that the guard is being sent for further evaluation. He can be considered day-to-day until the team has more to share on the severity of the issue.
Durant looked extremely comfortable on the offensive end Tuesday night and ended the game with a team-high 27 points with the help of four triples. The 37-year-old was also heavily involved as a playmaker, and he's now dished out eight or more dimes in three of his previous four outings.
Barrett was listed on the injury report due to a left shoulder injury he sustained during Sunday's blowout win against Orlando. He was cleared to play Tuesday, and his shoulder didn't appear to bother him in an efficient night from both the field and charity stripe. Barrett will wrap up the month of March having averaged 21.7 points, 5.1 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 1.7 threes and 0.7 steals over 31.0 minutes per game.
Ingram was given the green light to return Tuesday after missing Sunday's game against Orlando due to right heel inflammation. He didn't fill up the box score against Detroit and was inefficient from deep, but he still finished as Toronto's second-leading scorer behind Scottie Barnes (24 points). It was Ingram's 42nd 20-plus-point game of the season but his first since March 15, also against the Pistons. He'll end the month of March having averaged 19.5 points, 4.5 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 1.6 threes and 0.8 steals over 33.7 minutes per game.
Murray-Boyles was cleared to play Tuesday after missing Sunday's game against the Magic due to lower-back spasms. He gave the Raptors a nice spark of the bench, leading the team in rebounds (including seven on the offensive glass) while finishing as Toronto's fourth-leading scorer. Murray-Boyles has enjoyed a productive rookie campaign and has been an important piece of the Raptors' rotation, especially when Jakob Poeltl missed time due to his own back injury.
Jenkins attempted just nine shots from the field, but he still reached the 20-point threshold for the sixth time this season thanks to his work at the charity stripe, where he logged career highs in both made and attempted free throws. Jenkins saw his role off the Pistons' bench steadily increase as the season progressed, and he has thrived in a starting role while filling in for the injured Cade Cunningham (chest). Jenkins has started in each of the Pistons' last eight games, and over that span he has averaged 18.5 points, 6.9 assists, 4.4 rebounds and 2.1 threes over 36.2 minutes per game.
Johnson exceeded 20 minutes for the first time in the past four games, scoring in double digits for the fifth time in his young career. With Brooklyn manipulating its rotation on a nightly basis, it's hard to be too excited by this performance. Generally speaking, fantasy managers are better off focusing on other teams when it comes to streaming candidates.
Robinson sat out Monday's game against the Thunder due to a right hip strain, but the veteran sharpshooter was cleared to return for the second leg of the Pistons' back-to-back set Tuesday. He gave the Pistons the scoring spark they needed and finished as the team's third-leading scorer behind Jalen Duren (31 points) and Daniss Jenkins (21 points). It was the 11th time this season that Robinson connected on five-plus threes, with three of those games coming in his last eight outings since March 15.
Claxton's turned in another underwhelming performance. Despite being a regular fixture in the starting lineup, he has been outside the top 250 in 14 games over the past month. During that time, he has averaged just 8.1 points, 6.1 rebounds and 1.0 blocks. At this point, he is nowhere near being a must-roster player.
Despite some inconsistent shooting, White continues to provide Charlotte with valuable production off the bench. He has scored in double digits in nine straight games while also chipping in across other categories, most notably assists and threes. While he isn't a must-roster player, he certainly isn't out of place on a standard-league roster.
Reese will be held out of a second straight game as the Wizards look to preserve his eligibility for the remainder of the season while he's signed to a two-way deal. He'll be eligible to suit up in all of Washington's final six regular-season games after Wednesday.
Mann has failed to play more than 10 minutes in 16 straight games, and in six of those he has failed to see the floor at all. With Charlotte firing on all cylinders at the moment, Mann's role is basically non-existent, eliminating any chance he has at putting up fantasy value. He can be ignored in just about every format.
Duren was cleared to play after missing Monday's game against the Thunder due to knee injury management. His return was the boost that the Pistons desperately needed, especially in the continued absence of Cade Cunningham (chest). It was Duren's eighth 30-plus-point performance of the season (and fourth in 10 games since March 13) and 17th game of at least two blocks. Across his last 10 outings, the All-Star center has averaged 25.0 points, 10.9 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 0.9 blocks over 31.2 minutes per game.
Kalkbrenner continues to play a backup role, which, to this point has yielded very little in terms of fantasy production. In 14 appearances over the past month, he has barely been a top-200 player, averaging 6.9 points, 3.6 rebounds and 1.4 blocks per game. At best, he can be streamed for blocks when the schedule works in his favor.
Bridges posted a strong all-around line after failing to tally either a block or steal in four consecutive games. He shot the basketball with efficiency on the offensive end and set a new season high in steals. Bridges is averaging 15.3 points, 4.5 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.0 steals over his last four appearances.
Booker followed his 36-point performance in Monday's win over Memphis with another huge scoring outburst in the second leg of this back-to-back set. However, he needed a season-high 16 makes from the charity stripe to reach 30 points Tuesday, whereas he didn't get to the line at all Monday. The star guard also chipped in a team-high seven assists and has dished out at least five dimes in seven straight games.
Rollins posted a strong all-around line and led the Bucks in points and assists in the blowout victory. The 23-year-old didn't appear to be slowed down at all by the hip injury that kept him from taking the floor Sunday. Rollins has put up 20-plus points in three of his last five matchups and should continue to see opportunities with the first unit as Milwaukee wraps up the regular season with little to play for.
Sasser was ruled out with only a few minutes remaining in the fourth quarter, so his absence shouldn't have much of an impact. The severity of the injury is unclear at this time, and he can be considered day-to-day until more information comes to light.
Suggs turned in a well-rounded performance Tuesday and was Orlando's second-leading scorer, reaching the 20-point mark for the first time since March 12. He also finished third on the team in rebounds and second in assists. Additionally, the 24-year-old point guard made an impact on the defensive end, finishing one swipe shy of tying his season high. Suggs has been inconsistent on the offensive end of late, scoring in double figures in four of his last seven games while reaching the 15-point threshold just once.
With Luka Doncic back from his one-game suspension, Hachimura will retreat to the second unit. The 28-year-old forward has averaged 6.2 points and 2.2 rebounds across 20.6 minutes per game in his last five appearances off the bench.
Williamson will provide much-needed backcourt depth for Memphis down the stretch of the regular season, as the team has shut down a number of key contributors for the rest of the campaign due to injuries. The 27-year-old has appeared in 46 games in the G League this year across stops with the Memphis Hustle and the Windy City Bulls, averaging 7.2 points, 2.3 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.1 steals in 23.7 minutes per contest.
With Jarrett Allen (knee) back in the lineup for the second leg of this back-to-back, Ellis will slide to the second unit. He has averaged 7.0 points, 2.0 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.2 steals in 23.6 minutes per game over his last five appearances off the bench.
It was thought that James could get Tuesday night off for injury maintenance, but the star forward will suit up after all. James is fresh off a triple-double Monday night against Washington, as he finished with 21 points, 10 rebounds, 12 assists and one block in 33 minutes.
With Sam Merrill (hamstring) sidelined, Strus will draw his first start of the season. Over six appearances this season, the 30-year-old forward is averaging 12.5 points, 6.5 rebounds and 2.0 assists in 24.0 minutes per contest.
Jackson will miss a second consecutive contest Tuesday after spraining his right ankle in Friday's win over Indiana. The big man can be considered doubtful for Thursday's game against the Spurs until the Clippers offer an update on his status. With Jackson sidelined, John Collins will likely continue to see increased minutes.
Gafford looked to be in significant discomfort as he made his way to the locker room, and the team announced shortly thereafter that he'll be shut down for the rest of the night. Dwight Powell and Moussa Cisse should see an uptick in minutes in Gafford's absence.
Gafford suffered the injury on a block attempt, and he wasn't able to move his right arm on his way off the court. He can be considered questionable to return until the Mavs have an official diagnosis for the big man.
Payton could be held out of the front end of this back-to-back set, which would leave more minutes available for guys like Will Richard, Nate Williams and Seth Curry. Payton would likely see increased playing time if he's cleared to suit up due to De'Anthony Melton (thumb) being unavailable.
Post departed Sunday's matchup against Denver due to right foot soreness, though it's worth noting that he's been ruled out Wednesday due to right foot injury management, so this appears to be a precautionary decision. Draymond Green and Omer Yurtseven should be in line for increased opportunities at center with Post, Al Horford (calf) and Kristaps Porzingis (illness) all out.
Richard is set to return from a one-game absence due to left heel soreness. The rookie second-rounder is a top candidate to enter the starting five due to De'Anthony Melton (thumb) and Kristaps Porzingis (illness) being sidelined.
Santos had a down night Sunday against the Nuggets, though it's unclear if this injury played a role in his sluggish performance. He'll presumably be monitored closely leading up to tipoff to determine whether he can take the court Wednesday evening.
The thumb injury is a new concern for Melton, whose next opportunity to suit up will come Thursday against Cleveland. Will Richard, Pat Spencer and Gary Payton (knee) are candidates for expanded roles in Melton's stead.
Porzingis will get a night off after appearing in four straight matchups for Golden State. Al Horford (calf) and Quinten Post (foot) have also been ruled out, leaving the Warriors awfully thin at center. Expect Draymond Green to get some run there Wednesday along with Omer Yurtseven. Malevy Leons and Nate Williams could also factor more heavily into the rotation with Porzingis sidelined.
Curry was able to practice in full for the first time since suffering a knee injury Jan. 30 against Detroit, which included participating in a 5-on-5 scrimmage after practice, per Amick and Friedell. The goal is for Curry to return to game action Sunday, assuming he checks out fine following Tuesday's activities. The sharpshooter has already been ruled out for Wednesday's matchup with San Antonio and is being considered doubtful for Thursday against Cleveland, so he looks to have at least a few more days to make sure his knee feels strong before potentially facing live competition. The Warriors should have additional updates on Curry's status as Sunday approaches.
Hinson will hit the inactive list for a fourth consecutive contest as the Jazz manage his availability while signed to a two-way pact. After Wednesday, he'll be eligible to play in four of Utah's final five games.
With Jalen Duren (knee) out, Reed got the start in Monday's 114-110 overtime loss to Oklahoma City, finishing with 21 points, 10 rebounds, two assists, four blocks and one steal. However, with Duren back in the lineup, Reed will return to the bench, likely limiting him to roughly 15-20 minutes of work.
Green got the spot start in the front end of this back-to-back set, but he will retreat to the second unit Tuesday with Tobias Harris (hip) returning to the lineup. Green has averaged 6.4 points and 2.8 rebounds across 16.8 minutes per contest over his last five outings off the bench.
Huerter drew the start Monday with Detroit sitting multiple key starters, but he'll retreat to the bench for the second half of the team's back-to-back. The Maryland product has scored in double figures in two of his previous four matchups as a reserve.
After starting Milwaukee's last three games, Nance will slide back to the second unit. The 26-year-old forward has averaged 5.8 points, 4.0 rebounds and 1.4 assists in 20.8 minutes per game over his last five appearances off the bench.
Dieng started Milwaukee's last six games. However, with Kyle Kuzma (Achilles) back in the lineup, the 22-year-old will head back to the bench. With that said, Dieng was still productive in his last appearance as a reserve, finishing with 19 points, five rebounds, one assist and one steal across 30 minutes in the 123-116 loss to the Cavaliers on March 17.
Shead drew a spot start Sunday against the Magic and delivered a double-double, but he'll move to a bench role Tuesday with Brandon Ingram returning to action. Shead has struggled as a reserve recently and has been held to single figures in 12 straight bench appearances.
Jackson got the spot start in Sunday's loss to the Clippers but will return to the second unit Tuesday. Over his last five appearances off the bench, the 24-year-old has averaged 4.8 points, 1.8 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.0 steals in 12.2 minutes per contest.
The veteran center won't suit up for the front end of this back-to-back set, though he'll likely return for Thursday's meeting with the Clippers. Without Kornet in the equation, Mason Plumlee and Kelly Olynyk are the favorites to see minutes behind Victor Wembanyama.
The two-way player is in jeopardy of joining Keyonte George (hamstring) and Isaiah Collier (hamstring) on the inactive list for a second consecutive contest due to left hamstring soreness. If Harkless is unable to suit up Wednesday, Bez Mbeng would likely see a significant uptick in playing time.
Collier continues to miss game action while rehabbing from a left hamstring injury. The Jazz have yet to provide an update on his recovery, so it's unclear if he'll return to play this season. The second-year point guard can be considered doubtful for Friday's game in Houston.
George hasn't played since March 11 due to a right hamstring strain and remains without a clear timetable for a return. The 22-year-old point guard should be considered doubtful for future contests until the Jazz provide an update on his progress. With Isaiah Collier (hamstring) out and Elijah Harkless (hamstring) questionable, Bez Mbeng could see a significant bump in minutes against Denver.
Ingram initially carried a questionable tag heading into this contest after missing Sunday's 139-87 win over the Magic. However, he was upgraded to probable and now has the green light to suit up. With Ingram back in the lineup, Jamal Shead or Ja'Kobe Walter will presumably head back to the bench.
Murray-Boyles was upgraded to probable shortly before tipoff, so that fact that he's now been cleared to play isn't much of a shock. The rookie has made just three appearances since Feb. 28 due to a thumb injury and more recently a back issue, and he's averaging 9.3 points, 3.7 rebounds and 2.3 blocks over this brief three-game stretch.
Sasser was listed as questionable heading into this meeting because of a hip injury, though he will suit up for a fourth consecutive contest. Over 12 games in March, the 25-year-old has averaged 6.6 points, 1.5 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 0.1 blocks and 0.8 steals while shooting 35.9 percent from the field and 43.5 percent from deep in 18.0 minutes per contest.
After going unused off the bench in Sunday's win over Sacramento, Williams will return to the first unit Tuesday. As a starter this season (12 games), the 24-year-old forward has averaged 13.3 points, 2.5 rebounds, 2.4 steals and 1.1 assists in 24.3 minutes per tilt.
LeVert will shed his questionable tag and suit up in both halves of this back-to-back set after contributing 10 points (4-11 FG, 2-5 3Pt), four rebounds, two assists and one block across 26 minutes in Monday's overtime loss to the Thunder. The veteran guard has averaged 7.0 points, 3.4 assists, 3.2 rebounds and 1.0 blocks across 19.8 minutes per game over his last five appearances.
Robinson was initially added to the injury report with a probable designation and has since been cleared to take the court Tuesday. He sat out Monday while dealing with a hip injury but is expected to be a full go versus Toronto.
Harris was tagged as probable leading up to tipoff, so his availability isn't much of a surprise. He'll return to the court following a one-game absence due to a hip issue.
Duren sat out Monday's overtime loss to the Thunder due to right knee injury management, though he'll return to action in the second leg of this back-to-back set. The star big man has recorded nine double-doubles over his last 10 appearances, averaging 23.3 points, 11.1 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.5 combined steals-plus-blocks in 29.2 minutes per contest during that span.
Ingram was on track to play in Sunday's 139-87 win over the Magic, although he was ruled out shortly before the opening tip. If the 28-year-old officially gets the green light to suit up, Ja'Kobe Walter or Jamal Shead will likely head back to the bench.
Murray-Boyles was initially added to the injury report as questionable due to lower-back spasms, but it seems he'll be available to run the floor Tuesday. Expect confirmation on his status closer to tipoff.
Gordon has appeared in only one of Denver's last three games, most recently missing Sunday's 116-93 win over Golden State. He practiced in full Tuesday, so he is on track to suit up. If that's the case, Peyton Watson will likely head back to the bench.
Jones exited Sunday's game against the Warriors with a right hamstring injury, and the issue is significant enough to keep him out of Wednesday's action. Peyton Watson, Julian Strawther and Tim Hardaway could see more opportunities in Jones' absence.
Johnson exited Sunday's win over the Warriors in the third quarter due to back spasms and did not return. However, he practiced Tuesday and is set to play Wednesday. Over his last five games, the 30-year-old forward has averaged 12.6 points, 2.2 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1.0 steals in 27.0 minutes per contest.
The sixth-year big man came away with the issue during Sunday's win over the Warriors. With Nnaji sidelined Wednesday, Jonas Valanciunas has less competition for the backup center spot behind Nikola Jokic but isn't guaranteed to see meaningful minutes in this role.
This looks to be a scheduled off day for the veteran forward with the regular season nearing an end. Look for Khris Middleton and John Poulakidas to pick up minutes in the frontcourt with Naji Marshall (illness), Caleb Martin (heel) and Thompson all sidelined.
Wolf remains in a walking boot due to a sprained left ankle, and the rebuilding Nets are unlikely to be in much of a hurry to push the rookie first-rounder back into the fray. The likes of Ziaire Williams, Drake Powell and Josh Minott should continue to soak up more playing time going forward.
McBride's status was in doubt after he departed Sunday's matchup due to injury, but he evidently felt good enough in shootaround and warmups to give it a go Tuesday. He managed to log 11 minutes Sunday before exiting, so expect the Knicks to keep a close eye on his minutes in just his second game back from sports hernia surgery.
Dillon Brooks will return to the starting lineup following an extended absence due to a fractured left hand, pushing O'Neale to the second unit. Over five outings off the bench this season, the veteran forward has averaged 10.8 points, 5.0 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1.2 steals in 27.6 minutes per contest.
Kuzma missed the Bucks' last four contests. However, he will avoid another absence and suit up against the Mavericks. In Kuzma's only meeting with Dallas this season, he finished with 26 points, five rebounds, two assists and one steal in 32 minutes of action.
Harris will miss a third consecutive contest due to personal reasons after missing the prior three outings with a groin injury. His absence shouldn't cause any significant waves in the rotation, and his next opportunity to play will come Wednesday in Houston.
Rollins was added to the injury report as probable due to a hip injury after sitting out Sunday, and he's since been given the green light to take the court. He's averaging 20.4 points, 4.4 rebounds, 5.4 assists and 1.6 steals over his last five appearances.
Eason will join the first unit Tuesday for his first start since March 18. Head coach Ime Udoka said during his pregame presser that the change from Reed Sheppard to Eason is a matchup-based decision, per Varun Shankar of the Houston Chronicle, and Sheppard is expected to be back in the starting five for the second half of Houston's back-to-back Wednesday against Milwaukee. Eason is averaging 6.4 points, 6.3 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.4 steals in his last eight opportunities as a starter.
Tari Eason is instead getting the starting nod against the Knicks for matchup-related reasons. Sheppard's minutes should remain mostly unaffected by the move to the bench, as he's averaging 12.2 points, 3.2 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.5 steals in 29.4 minutes per contest across his last six games as a reserve.
Siakam appears on track to suit up for his sixth consecutive outing. He had a rough showing in Friday's 114-113 loss to the Clippers. However, the 31-year-old responded by posting a 30-point, 11-rebound double-double with six assists and one steal in Sunday's 135-118 win over the Heat. In three meetings with Chicago during the campaign, Siakam has averaged 26.7 points, 7.3 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 0.7 blocks and 1.3 steals while shooting 43.8 percent from deep across 34.7 minutes.
Nembhard will be held out of Wednesday's contest after appearing in each of Indiana's last five games. His next chance to suit up will come Friday in Charlotte. With T.J. McConnell (hamstring) also sidelined, Kam Jones, Taelon Peter and Quenton Jackson are candidates for expanded roles.
The veteran floor general's next chance to return arrives Friday in Charlotte. The door is open for each of Kam Jones, Quenton Jackson and Ethan Thompson to claim a more prominent role at point guard Wednesday.
Toppin was listed as questionable leading up to Sunday's game against Miami due to a back injury and right foot injury management, so he appears to have shed the back issue. All signs point to the Dayton product suiting up for Wednesday's tilt.
Davis hasn't played since Jan. 8 due to ligament damage in his left hand and can be considered week-to-week until the Wizards offer another update on his progress. However, with the team holding a 17-58 record, it wouldn't be surprising if the star big man doesn't return this season.
Hendricks started Monday's 131-105 loss to Phoenix. However, he likely won't suit up for Wednesday's meeting with the visiting Knicks. Tyler Burton and Rayan Rupert would be candidates to see increased playing time if Hendricks is ultimately ruled out.
Gibson has missed the Grizzlies' last two matchups due to right foot soreness. He'll presumably take the court for shootaround and warmups to determine whether he feels healthy enough to give it a go Wednesday.
Small missed Monday's loss to the Suns due to lower-back soreness, though he's set to return to action Wednesday. The rookie second-rounder has started each of his last five appearances, during which he has averaged 11.6 points, 4.0 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 1.2 steals in 25.0 minutes per contest. His return will leave fewer minutes available for guys like Adama Bal and DeJon Jarreau.
Prosper is set to return from a one-game absence due to a right wrist injury. The third-year big man has been impressive for the Grizzlies of late, averaging 15.7 points, 4.2 rebounds, 1.3 steals and 1.9 three-pointers across 24.6 minutes per game in his last nine appearances, shooting 43.6 percent from beyond the arc over this span.
Jerome is in line for his fifth straight absence while rehabbing from a left ankle sprain. The fact that he's been ruled out a full day ahead of Wednesday's game is likely a sign that he's not all that close to a return. With only six games remaining in the regular season after Wednesday, it's unknown if he'll get healthy in time to appear down the stretch, especially with little to play for.
Richards missed the Bulls' last three games because of a sprained right elbow. If he is ruled out heading into Wednesday's contest, Guerschon Yabusele (ankle), who is also questionable, would be in line to start. However, if both players don't suit up, Leonard Miller would likely start the game in the middle, with rookie Lachlan Olbrich coming in for relief.
McClung missed the G League Windy City Bulls' regular-season finale due to a right hamstring issue but is set to be available for the parent club against Indiana. However, the two-way player isn't guaranteed to see the floor for Chicago.
Yabusele continues to be bothered by the injury and could go through pregame warmups Wednesday before Chicago updates his playing status. Nick Richards (elbow) is also questionable, so the depleted Bulls frontcourt could be down to Leonard Miller and Lachlan Olbrich as the last men standing at the center position.
Simons remains sidelined while on the mend from a fractured left wrist. He can be considered doubtful for Chicago's next matchup Friday in New York.
Broome went under the knife at the end of February to repair a lateral meniscus tear in his right knee, and the Sixers have yet to provide much of an update on a timeline for his return. He was scheduled to be re-evaluated one month from his surgery date, so more information could come to light in the coming days. For now, he can be considered doubtful for Friday's matchup against Minnesota.
Wells won't return this season after undergoing a procedure to repair a tendon avulsion fracture, though he is expected to make a full recovery ahead of the 2026-27 campaign. The 22-year-old appeared in 69 regular-season games in his sophomore season, starting all of them and finishing with averages of 12.5 points, 3.2 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 0.1 blocks and 0.9 steals while shooting 43.1 percent from the field and 35.3 percent from deep across 26.4 minutes per contest.
Davis hasn't played since Jan. 8 due to ligament damage in his left hand and remains without a clear timetable for a return. Considering the Wizards own a 17-58 record, it wouldn't be surprising to see the star big man miss the remainder of the season. For now, he can be considered doubtful for future contests until the club offers an update on his progress.
George has been sidelined since March 2 due to a Grade 2 distal UCL tear in his left elbow. The team has yet to provide much of an update on his timeline for a return, and there doesn't seem to be much sense in rushing him back for the final few games of the regular season. George can be considered doubtful for Saturday's game in Miami until further notice.
Young isn't yet ready to return after suffering a right quadriceps injury. His next opportunity to suit up will arrive Saturday in Miami.
After just coming back from a multi-game layoff, Johnson continues to deal with lingering effects of the sprain. If the rookie first-rounder cannot suit up Wednesday, Bub Carrington, Jaden Hardy and Sharife Cooper should all help pick up the slack from a minutes perspective.
Embiid was under the weather during Monday's loss to the Heat, when he posted 26 points (10-25 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 4-5 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and one block in 34 minutes. However, the illness won't cause him to miss Wednesday's contest. The star big man has appeared in three straight outings, averaging 30.0 points, 6.3 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 1.3 blocks in 32.7 minutes per contest over that stretch.
Sarr was also listed as questionable ahead of Monday's game against the Lakers before ultimately being downgraded to out, so it seems he's closing in on a return. The Wizards should have more to share on his status as tipoff approaches.
Coulibaly is in danger of missing a second consecutive game with a lingering heel injury. If the swingman cannot play Wednesday, more playing time would be available to Justin Champagnie, Leaky Black and Jamir Watkins.
Landale is in danger of missing his second consecutive matchup due to illness. The team should have a clearer idea of his availability closer to tipoff.
Wiggins recently returned from an extended absence with a toe issue, which appears not to be fully behind him quite yet. If the veteran forward cannot suit up Wednesday, Pelle Larsson would be worthy of streaming consideration in all fantasy leagues and Simone Fontecchio in deeper formats.
Powell continues to battle an illness that will sideline him for a third straight contest. His next chance to return will be Saturday against the Wizards.
After sitting out Monday's loss to the Hawks with a thumb injury, Queta is ready to get back into the lineup Wednesday and will likely push Luka Garza to the bench. Queta has averaged 11.0 points, 8.1 rebounds and 2.8 assists in 27.9 minutes per contest across his last eight games, shooting 69.1 percent from the field during this stretch.
Harper remains day-to-day after missing Monday's game against Atlanta. His status doesn't carry much weight in fantasy hoops, however.
As expected, Tatum has the green light to return after getting a maintenance day against the Hawks on Monday. He's averaging 25.7 points, 9.7 rebounds and 6.7 assists over his last three outings.
Thiero will be available off the bench after three straight absences. He's not guaranteed any minutes, however.
The veteran guard will sit out a fifth straight contest due to a right ankle contusion. His next chance to play will come Thursday in Oklahoma City. Jake LaRavia will likely continue starting at small forward for the Lakers on Tuesday.
Strus is no longer on the injury report after missing Monday's game against Utah for injury management. In six appearances this season, Strus holds averages of 12.5 points, 6.5 rebounds and 2.0 assists.
Merrill's absence will be maintenance-related Tuesday, giving him a good chance of returning Thursday against the Warriors. Keon Ellis should step into the starting lineup versus the Lakers and see a sizable boost in playing time.
Allen is set to return after getting the night off Monday against the Jazz. In Allen's most recent performance Friday against Miami, he looked sharp with 18 points (8-10 FG, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds and one block over 18 minutes.
The Lakers are contemplating giving James a maintenance day for the second leg of a back-to-back set while he continues to manage a lingering left foot issue. During Monday's 120-101 win over the Wizards, James finished with 21 points (8-16 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-6 FT), 12 assists, 10 rebounds and one block across 33 minutes.
Mosley noted that Wagner has participated in 5-on-5 scrimmages at practice and will be re-evaluated following treatment. Wagner appears to have a real chance to return from a high-grade left ankle sprain Wednesday, when the Magic take on the Hawks in a key Eastern Conference matchup.
Black will miss his 13th straight game Tuesday, but this update suggests that he's trending in the right direction. For now, he can be considered questionable at best for Wednesday against Atlanta.
The veteran guard has no timetable for a return due to irritation in the joint of the first toe in his right foot. Given that the Kings are reeling in the standings, the club is probably not in a rush to push Westbrook to return.
Coach Steve Kerr said Curry went through a full practice Tuesday, which included some five-on-five, so the two-time MVP continues to progress in the right direction. Assuming Curry sits out the next two games, a return against Houston on Sunday appears to be on the table.
Murray is taking contact in practice amid his recovery from an ankle sprain, but he isn't ready for game action. Considering the Kings are buried in the standings, the team is unlikely to be in a hurry to bring Murray back.
DeRozan was held out of Sunday's game against Brooklyn, though it was mostly maintenance-related. The veteran is averaging 14.5 points, 5.5 assists, 3.0 rebounds and 1.5 turnovers in 28.2 minutes per contest.
Monk is set to return from a one-game absence with a shoulder injury that cost him Sunday's loss to the Nets. The veteran guard has averaged 13.2 points, 7.4 assists, 2.0 rebounds and 2.0 three-pointers in 27.0 minutes per tilt in his last five games.
Coming off a six-point game in Friday's win over the Heat, Mitchell bounced back convincingly Tuesday. In March, the superstar guard has averaged 25.3 points, 5.4 assists, 4.3 rebounds and 1.4 steals in 34.2 minutes per tilt.
Jenkins continues to fill in effectively for the injured Cade Cunningham (chest) in the Pistons' starting lineup. The second-year guard has averaged 19.7 points, 7.5 assists, 4.7 rebounds and 2.2 three-pointers in 36.5 minutes per tilt in his last six games, essentially making Jenkins a must-roster player as the fantasy season winds down.
This was just another day at the office for Harden as the Cavaliers improved to 47-28 on the season. Over Harden's last seven outings, he's been elite with averages of 22.4 points, 9.6 assists, 5.9 rebounds, 1.3 steals and 3.3 three-pointers.
This was a strong showing for Goodwin despite some mediocre shooting, as his playmaking and defensive activity were on full display. His role could take a hit Tuesday against Orlando, however, as Grayson Allen will be back from a maintenance day and Dillon Brooks (hand) is cleared to return from an 18-game absence.
Johnson left Sunday's win over the Warriors and didn't return due to a back injury. However, his presence at Tuesday's session is an encouraging sign, and Johnson can be tentatively deemed questionable for Wednesday's game against Utah until the Nuggets release an official injury report.
Gordon is trending in the right direction after missing Sunday's game against Golden State. Additionally, coach David Adelman said he's hopeful to have Gordon back in the lineup to face Utah on Wednesday.
Nesmith is sidelined for a second consecutive contest with a cervical strain and was a very limited practice participant Tuesday. His absence opens up more playing time for Ben Sheppard, Quenton Jackson and Kobe Brown to soak up Wednesday.
Walker will be sidelined for a second straight game and did "very little" at practice Tuesday, according to coach Rick Carlisle. Walker's absence is likely to open things up for Kobe Brown and Jalen Slawson.
Tuesday marks a sixth consecutive absence with a left ankle sprain for Coffey. His next chance to return is Thursday, when the Suns face the Hornets in Charlotte.
Allen is returning to action after sitting out Monday's win over Memphis. The sharpshooter has averaged 16.1 points, 4.7 assists, 2.6 rebounds, 1.3 steals and 3.0 three-pointers in 26.1 minutes per tilt in his last seven games.
Highsmith will sit out for a seventh straight game Tuesday and remains without a timetable to return. Even when cleared to play, he's not likely to be part of the rotation now that Phoenix is getting healthier.
Williams hasn't played since March 3 due to a stress reaction in the third metatarsal of his left foot, though he was recently cleared for 5-on-5 at practice. His next chance to play comes Thursday against Charlotte. Until Williams is cleared to play, Oso Ighodaro should continue to start at center.
After posting 10 points (4-11 FG), four rebounds and two assists in 26 minutes during Monday's loss in Oklahoma City, LeVert is at risk of sitting out the second part of this back-to-back set. Ausar Thompson and Ronald Holland could pick up some extra minutes if LeVert winds up missing Tuesday's contest.
This will be Brooks' first appearance since Feb. 21. He missed 18 games due to a fractured left hand, and it's unclear if he will face restrictions during his return. Through 50 appearances, he's averaging 20.9 points, 3.7 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.0 steals while shooting 44.0 percent from the field in 30.6 minutes per contest.
After posting 12 points (4-9 FG) and four assists in 18 minutes during Monday's loss in Oklahoma City, Sasser is dealing with a nagging left hip strain and could test out the issue during pregame warmups. Kevin Huerter and Javonte Green would be in line for an uptick in playing time if Sasser ends up sitting out.
The Mavericks are planning a rest day for the veteran for the second leg of this back-to-back set. Thompson had just five points in 22 minutes against Minnesota on Monday.
After sitting out Monday, Harris is expected to be available for the second half of this back-to-back set. The veteran forward has averaged 14.0 points, 6.0 rebounds, 5.0 assists and 1.4 blocks in 28.0 minutes per tilt in his last seven games, shooting 47.5 percent from the floor.
Bagley will be sidelined for a second straight contest. With this news, Dwight Powell is likely to soak up the backup center minutes behind Daniel Gafford.
Martin will be sidelined for his eighth game in a row and remains without a timetable to return. His next chance to play is Friday against Orlando.
Robinson is expected back in the lineup after sitting out the front end of this back-to-back set Monday against the Thunder. Kevin Huerter could lose a bit of steam as a streamer with this news.
Marshall will end up missing both ends of this back-to-back set due to illness. Max Christie and Khris Middleton should both push for minutes in the 30s for the injury-plagued Mavericks on Tuesday.
Duren is likely to get the green light to suit up for the second leg of this back-to-back set after missing Monday's game against the Thunder. With Duren expected back, Paul Reed could lose a lot of streaming appeal.
Barrett will shed his probable tag for this contest. The wing is averaging 20.4 points, 4.6 rebounds and 3.4 assists in 30.3 minutes per contest in his last nine games.
Washington will miss his second game in a row for the Mavericks. His next chance to play comes Friday against Orlando. Khris Middleton and Tyler Smith could see more opportunities with this news.
With San Antonio now back to full strength, McLaughlin isn't expected to be featured in the rotation moving forward and will likely be limited mainly to garbage-time cameos. He had appeared in each of the Spurs' previous seven games but averaged just 9.4 minutes per contest during that stretch.
