  • Jalen Duren C | DET

    Pistons' Jalen Duren: Doubtful for Monday

    Duren (knee) is doubtful to play Monday in Oklahoma City.

    Duren is scheduled for a rest day on the first leg of a back-to-back set, and managers can expect to get official confirmation on his status closer to tipoff. With both Duren and Isaiah Stewart (calf) unavailable for Monday's game, Paul Reed should see heavy minutes in a starting role.

  • Trail Blazers' Robert Williams: Good to go Sunday

    Williams (back) is available for Sunday's game against the Wizards.

    Williams will shed his questionable tag due to lower-back soreness and suit up for a third consecutive contest. The backup big man has averaged 6.0 points, 7.6 rebounds and 1.0 blocks in 16.2 minutes per game over his last five appearances.

  • Cavaliers' Jarrett Allen: Won't play Monday

    Allen has been ruled out for Monday's game in Utah due to right knee injury management.

    Allen will get hit with a maintenance day on the first leg of a back-to-back set, but he should be back for Tuesday's game in Los Angeles. Nae'Qwan Tomlin could see an uptick in minutes Monday with Allen unavailable.

  • Bulls' Nick Richards: Iffy for Monday

    Richards (elbow) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Spurs.

    Richards has a chance to return from a two-game absence due to a right elbow sprain. However, Guerschon Yabusele (ankle) is also listed as questionable, so the Bulls could be thin in the frontcourt. If either player remains out, Leonard Miller and Lachlan Olbrich would be candidates to see increased minutes.

  • Hawks' Onyeka Okongwu: Available against Boston

    Okongwu (finger) isn't listed on the injury report ahead of Monday's game against Boston.

    Okongwu had only eight points in Friday's 109-102 loss to the Celtics. He didn't suit up Saturday for the 123-113 win over Sacramento. However, Okongwu's absence won't extend beyond one game, meaning Jock Landale will presumably head back to the bench for the rematch with Boston.

  • Celtics' Neemias Queta: Available to play

    Queta (thumb) is available for Sunday's game in Charlotte, Bobby Krivitsky of Forbes.com reports.

    Queta will power through the thumb issue and should see his usual minutes as a starter Sunday. Queta is averaging 9.8 points, 8.3 rebounds and 1.3 blocks per game this season.

  • Jay Huff C | IND

    Pacers' Jay Huff: Coming off bench Sunday

    Huff is not in the Pacers' starting lineup against the Heat on Sunday, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports.

    Huff has started in each of the Pacers' last three games, but he will come off the bench for Sunday's contest while Indiana rolls with a starting five of Andrew Nembhard, Quenton Jackson, Ethan Thompson, Jalen Slawson and Pascal Siakam. Huff came off the bench in a six-game span in mid-March and averaged 9.7 points, 2.0 rebounds, 1.2 assists, 1.3 threes and 1.5 blocks over 18.5 minutes per game.

  • Trail Blazers' Robert Williams: Trending toward playing Sunday

    Trail Blazers interim head coach Tiago Splitter said Williams (back) is expected to be available for Sunday's game against the Wizards, Sean Highkin of Rip City Radio 620 Portland reports.

    Williams is officially listed as questionable, but assuming he makes it through his pregame routine no worse for the wear, he should be cleared to back up Donovan Clingan on Sunday. Over his 10 appearances thus far in March, Williams is averaging 8.2 points, 8.6 rebounds and 1.6 blocks in 18.8 minutes per game while shooting 65 percent from the field.

  • Raptors' Trayce Jackson-Davis: Available to play

    Jackson-Davis (knee) is available for Sunday's game versus the Magic, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.

    Jackson-Davis is set to return after a one-game absence, though he remains a fringe piece in Toronto's rotation. Over the past three games, he's logged just 17 total minutes, producing a total of three points, two rebounds, one assist, one steal, one block and two turnovers.

  • Mavericks' Daniel Gafford: Probable for Monday

    Gafford (shoulder) is probable to play Monday versus Minnesota.

    Gafford is on track to return from a two-game absence Monday, which will likely result in Dwight Powell heading back to the second unit. In March, Gafford is averaging 15.3 points, 9.9 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 0.8 blocks per contest.
