Tony Bradley C | IND
Tony Bradley: Cut loose by Indiana
Bradley was waived by the Pacers on Monday, NBA reporter Jake Fischer reports.
Bradley wasn't very involved in his last seven games with Indiana, averaging 1.3 points and 2.6 rebounds in 7.9 minutes, so his release isn't all that surprising. His contract was scheduled to become guaranteed Wednesday, so his release will free up some cap space for the Pacers.

Jarrett Allen C | CLE
Cavaliers' Jarrett Allen: Game-time call for Tuesday
Allen (illness) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Pacers.
Allen sat out of Sunday's matchup due to an illness, and he's not yet feeling healthy. His availability for Tuesday should come into focus closer to tipoff.

Robert Williams III C | POR
Trail Blazers' Robert Williams: Probable against Jazz
Williams is probable for Monday's game against the Jazz with left knee injury management.
Confirmation on Williams' status should arrive at some point prior to Monday's tipoff. The veteran center is set to return from a one-game respite, but he hasn't eclipsed 20 minutes in any of his last eight appearances.

Victor Wembanyama C | SA
Spurs' Victor Wembanyama: Questionable against Memphis
Wembanyama (knee) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Grizzlies, Jeff McDonald of the San Antonio Express-News reports.
Wembanyama went through 5-on-5 portions of practice Monday, and he'll be re-evaluated following Tuesday's morning shootaround. If the superstar big man is available, his presence would likely eat into the playing time of Luke Kornet. However, Wembanyama hasn't played more than 28 minutes since Nov. 14, starting only three of his past nine appearances as the Spurs continue to be cautious with their superstar big man.

Deandre Ayton C | LAL
Lakers' Deandre Ayton: Efficient scoring continues
Ayton produced 15 points (6-8 FG, 3-6 FT), eight rebounds, one assist, three blocks and one steal in 34 minutes during Sunday's 120-114 win over the Grizzlies.
The star big man continues to roll along during his first year with the Lakers. Ayton has averaged 12.9 points, 8.5 rebounds, 1.1 blocks and 0.9 steals in 29.7 minutes per contest over his last 14 games, shooting a robust 71.6 percent from the floor.

Jusuf Nurkic C | UTA
Jazz's Jusuf Nurkic: Available for Monday
Nurkic (toe) is available for Monday's game against Portland, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
Nurkic, who has missed the past two games for Utah, was able to shed his questionable tag this time around. With this news, Kyle Filipowski should shift to the bench for Utah. Nurkic is averaging 18.8 points, 10.0 rebounds, 6.3 assists and 1.8 three-pointers over his last four appearances.

Isaiah Hartenstein C | OKC
Thunder's Isaiah Hartenstein: Out again Monday
Hartenstein (calf) will miss Monday's game against Charlotte.
Hartenstein will be sidelined for a fifth straight game, and there's been no word on a potential timetable. Jaylin Williams (heel) also remains out for the Thunder. Hartenstein's next chance to play comes Wednesday against the Jazz.

Mark Williams C | PHO
Suns' Mark Williams: Expected to play Monday
Williams is probable for Monday's game against the Rockets due to right knee injury management.
Monday's tilt is the second leg of a back-to-back, though the oft-injured Williams is expected to be available. Williams has averaged 12.4 points, 6.9 rebounds, 1.1 assists, 1.1 steals and 0.8 blocks in 21.6 minutes per contest in his last 13 games, shooting 67.4 percent from the floor.
