Alperen Sengun C | HOU
Rockets' Alperen Sengun: Questionable for Monday
Sengun (back) is questionable for Monday's matchup with the Lakers.
Sengun is in danger of missing his second straight game due to the back issue, but we'll have a better idea on his status based on his activity level at shootaround. If Sengun is forced to spend another game on the bench, Dorian Finney-Smith could draw another start and there would be more minutes available for Clint Capela.

Isaiah Hartenstein C | OKC
Thunder's Isaiah Hartenstein: Pulls down 12 rebounds in win
Hartenstein totaled zero points (0-3 FG), 12 rebounds, three assists and two blocks across 21 minutes during Sunday's 116-103 victory over Minnesota.
While Hartenstein was scoreless in this game, he still played a big role in the win and dominated his matchup with Rudy Gobert. Per Nick Gallo of the Thunder's official site, head coach Mark Daigneault heaped praise on Hartenstein during his postgame media availability, saying: "His value is usually invisible value. He's not like a box score junkie, but he gets a lot done out there... We used him as a hub when that unit was out there to start the 2nd and 4th, and he really got that going with those guys running around him."

Naz Reid PF | CHA
Timberwolves' Naz Reid: Tweaks right shoulder in loss
Reid posted six points (1-5 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds and two steals in 28 minutes during Sunday's 116-103 loss to the Thunder.
Reid got tangled up with Isaiah Hartenstein on a drive to the hoop and wound up getting sandwiched between Hartenstein and the basketball stanchion, as Hartenstein tumbled on top of him after the play. Reid was slow to get up, and while he played through the shoulder issue without requiring a trip to the locker room, he did appear to be in some discomfort for the remainder of the game. The Timberwolves have a Tuesday-Wednesday, back-to-back set coming up, so managers will need to be on alert for a potential maintenance day.

Robert Williams III C | POR
Trail Blazers' Robert Williams: Available to play
Williams (knee) is available for Sunday's game versus the 76ers.
Williams is set to return after a one-game stint on the sidelines, which could push Sidy Cissoko back out of the rotation. Williams is averaging 6.9 points, 6.7 rebounds and 1.5 blocks per game this season.

Andre Drummond C | NY
76ers' Andre Drummond: Available to play
Drummond (back) is available for Sunday's game versus Portland, Noah Levick of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
Drummond is set to return from a three-game absence Sunday, and he'll likely be operating in a reserve role behind Adem Bona. Through five games in March, Drummond has averaged 4.0 points and 6.4 rebounds per game.

Nicolas Claxton C | CHI
Nets' Nic Claxton: Not listed on injury report
Claxton (rest) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Monday's game against the Trail Blazers.
Claxton will return from a one-game absence Monday, and he should see his usual minutes as a starter. Through six games in March, Claxton has averaged 6.8 points, 5.8 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 1.2 blocks per contest.

Alex Sarr C | WAS
Wizards' Alex Sarr: Not playing Monday
Sarr has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Warriors due to right hamstring injury management.
The Wizards play the front end of their back-to-back set Monday. They will opt to rest Sarr as he manages a right hamstring injury that cost him 10 straight games earlier in the season, and the second-year center should be available to play against the Pistons on Tuesday. Tristan Vukcevic will likely start in Sarr's absence while Anthony Gill and Julian Reese both see more minutes off the bench.
-
Drew Eubanks C | NY
Kings' Drew Eubanks: Sitting Sunday
Eubanks (thumb) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Utah.
Eubanks will end up sitting for both games of the Kings' back-to-back weekend set due to a sore left thumb, and he'll look to progress enough in his recovery to return for Tuesday's game against the Spurs. Dylan Cardwell will serve as the Kings' top backup center behind starter Maxime Raynaud in Eubanks' absence.

Jericho Sims C | MIL
Bucks' Jericho Sims: Back to bench Sunday
Sims is not in the Bucks' starting lineup against the Pacers on Sunday.
Sims made his 10th start of the season in Saturday's 122-99 loss to the Hawks, when he played 25 minutes and finished with seven points (2-2 FG, 3-4 FT), two rebounds and one assist. The fifth-year big man will come off the bench for Sunday's matinee due to the return of Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf).

Marvin Bagley III C | DEN
Mavericks' Marvin Bagley: Headed to bench
Bagley will come off the bench for Sunday's game in Cleveland.
Daniel Gafford (illness) has been ruled out for a second consecutive game Sunday, but Bagley will still shift back to the second unit with Dallas rolling with P.J. Washington at center. Through 11 games with the Mavericks this season, Bagley owns averages of 10.4 points and 8.0 rebounds per game.
