  • Mavericks' Marvin Bagley: Logs 20 minutes in return

    Bagley (neck) produced six points (2-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds and two assists across 20 minutes during Sunday's 122-92 loss to the Raptors.

    Bagley made his return to action following a five-game absence due to a neck sprain, stepping back into his usual role as the Mavericks' top backup center. So long as Daniel Gafford is available for Dallas, Bagley may have difficulty reaching the 25-minute mark in most games, which makes it tough to rely on the big man outside of deeper leagues as anything more than a streaming option for rebounds and field-goal percentage.

  • Mavericks' Daniel Gafford: Scores 21 points without missing

    Gafford accumulated 21 points (10-10 FG, 1-1 FT), 11 rebounds, three assists and one block in 23 minutes during Sunday's 122-92 loss to the Raptors.

    This was Gafford's second straight double-double and his eighth of the season. He set a new season high in points and did so without missing a single shot, but the result was yet another loss for the Mavericks. Dallas has now lost seven straight and dropped 17 of its past 19 games overall.

  • Raptors' Trayce Jackson-Davis: Out for Tuesday

    Jackson-Davis (finger) is listed out for Tuesday's game against the Rockets.

    Jackson-Davis dislocated his right middle finger during pregame warmups prior to Sunday's 122-92 win over the Mavericks and will now miss his second straight game. Even when healthy, Jackson-Davis has typically been outside of the Toronto rotation.

  • Jericho Sims C | MIL

    Bucks' Jericho Sims: Starting Sunday

    Sims is in the starting lineup for Sunday's matchup with the Magic.

    Joining Sims in the first unit for Sunday's game will be Ryan Rollins, AJ Green, Ousmane Dieng and Myles Turner. Over eight starts this season, Sims has recorded averages of 5.4 points and 7.1 rebounds per contest.

  • Al Horford C | GS

    Warriors' Al Horford: Won't play Monday

    Horford has been ruled out for Monday's game against Utah due to left toe injury management.

    Horford will sit out the front end of this back-to-back set, though it appears likely he'll return Tuesday against Chicago. With the veteran big man and Kristaps Porzingis (illness) both sidelined, Quinten Post and Malevy Leons are candidates to see increased playing time.

  • Warriors' Kristaps Porzingis: Won't play Monday

    Porzingis (illness) has been ruled out for Monday's game in Utah.

    Monday's game will be the first of a back-to-back set, so Porzingis will get hit with a rest day, but he should be back for Tuesday's game against the Bulls. Quinten Post should be able to get back into the rotation with Porzingis watching from the sidelines.

  • Raptors' Trayce Jackson-Davis: Out with dislocated finger

    Jackson-Davis dislocated the middle finger on his right hand while going through pregame warmups and won't play Sunday against the Mavericks, Michael Grange of Sportsnet.ca reports.

    Jackson-Davis has been a negligible part of the rotation in Toronto, so his absence Sunday won't have any bearing on how head coach Darko Rajakovic distributes the minutes in the frontcourt. The center's next chance to play will come Tuesday in Houston.

  • Thunder's Branden Carlson: Won't play Monday

    Carlson (back) is out for Monday's game against the Nuggets.

    Carlson will be inactive for a sixth consecutive game as he nurses a back injury. His absence potentially leaves Jaylin Williams and Kenrich Williams as the only active players to play the five spot for Monday's contest, as Chet Holmgren (illness, questionable) and Isaiah Hartenstein (calf, out) could both be unavailable as well.

  • Thunder's Isaiah Hartenstein: Won't play Monday

    Hartenstein (calf) is out for Monday's game versus the Nuggets.

    This will be Hartenstein's second straight game on the sidelines, and it's not encouraging that he continues to get ruled out a full day in advance of tipoff. For now, he can be considered questionable for Thursday's game against the Celtics. Jaylin Williams and Kenrich Williams will likely help pick up the slack in Hartenstein's absence.

  • Alex Sarr C | WAS

    Wizards' Alex Sarr: Will be limited Sunday

    Head coach Brian Keefe said Sarr (hamstring) will play around 16-20 minutes during Sunday's game against New Orleans, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.

    Sarr is set to return from a 10-game absence due to a right hamstring strain, though he won't be rushed into an increased workload. With the second-year center on a minutes restriction, Julian Reese will likely continue to see meaningful playing time.
