Maxi Kleber C | LAL
Mavericks' Maxi Kleber: Cleared to play
Kleber (knee) is good to go for Tuesday's game against the Kings, Grant Afseth of SI.com reports.

Taj Gibson PF | MEM
Pistons' Taj Gibson: Another absence coming
Gibson (hamstring) won't play in Wednesday's game versus the Timberwolves.
Gibson will miss his fifth straight game while dealing with a right hamstring strain. However, his absence won't impact Detroit's rotation.

Jalen Duren C | DET
Pistons' Jalen Duren: Considered probable Wednesday
Duren (back) is probable for Wednesday's game against Minnesota.
Duren appears on track to return from a three-game absence due to back spasms. If he's able to return, James Wiseman would likely revert to a 15-20 minute role off the bench, although the status of offensive engine Cade Cunningham (knee/rest) is important to monitor as well.

Anthony Davis C | WAS
Lakers' Anthony Davis: Good to go against Milwaukee
Davis (Achilles) is available for Tuesday's game versus the Bucks.
Davis has been upgraded from probable to available Tuesday despite dealing with a nagging Achilles injury. With LeBron James (ankle) out, Davis will likely shoulder a larger offensive load against Milwaukee.

Rudy Gobert C | MIN
Timberwolves' Rudy Gobert: Battling lingering rib soreness
Gobert is questionable for Wednesday's game against Detroit due to a sprained rib on his left side.
Gobert has compiled 74 minutes of action across his last two appearances, but he was sidelined for the three contests prior due to rib pain. During those absences, Gobert expressed the importance of being 100 percent healthy to take the court, so his status will need to be monitored in advance of Wednesday's contest. Anthony Edwards (finger) is also considered questionable.

Brandon Clarke C | MEM
Grizzlies' Brandon Clarke: Upgraded to questionable
Clarke (Achilles) is questionable to play Wednesday versus the Lakers, Drew Hill of The Daily Memphian reports.
Clarke ascending to questionable is an interesting development with 10 games remaining on the schedule. Clarke began contact work at the beginning of March and has been ramping up at practice with the Grizzlies' G League affiliate, with April 3 set to represent 13 months of recovery after tearing his Achilles. An abundance of caution will be exercised with the 27-year-old, but building continuity with Memphis' young contributors could have merit. Clarke's status will need to be monitored in advance of Wednesday's contest.

Warriors' Trayce Jackson-Davis: Won't play against Miami
Jackson-Davis has been ruled out for Tuesday's game versus the Heat, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.
Jackson-Davis has been downgraded from questionable to out Tuesday due to right knee soreness. Kevon Looney and Dario Saric are set to receive backup center minutes behind Draymond Green. Jackson-Davis' next chance to suit up is Wednesday's matchup with Orlando.

Mitchell Robinson C | NY
Knicks' Mitchell Robinson: Still out Wednesday
Robinson (ankle) won't play in Wednesday's game versus the Raptors.
