Jonas Valanciunas C | DEN
Nuggets' Jonas Valanciunas: Probable against Dallas
Valanciunas is probable for Tuesday's game against the Mavericks with an illness.
The 37-year-old center ultimately shed a probable tag ahead of Monday's game against the Jazz and is likely to do the same Tuesday. Valanciunas has averaged 9.8 points, 4.9 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 13.9 minutes per contest through nine games this month.

Dwight Powell C | DAL
Mavericks' Dwight Powell: Questionable with illness
Powell is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Nuggets with an illness.
The Mavericks are likely to see how Powell is feeling closer to tipoff before updating his status. The veteran big man has been out of the Dallas rotation for three straight games, so the center minutes are unlikely to be affected by his possible absence.

Isaiah Jackson C | LAC
Pacers' Isaiah Jackson: Ruled out with concussion
Jackson (concussion) is out for Tuesday's game against the Bucks.
Jackson is in the concussion protocol after leaving Monday's game against the Celtics. Jay Huff could see a heavier workload at center, and James Wiseman might see some additional minutes off the bench Tuesday.

Mason Plumlee C | SA
Hornets' Mason Plumlee: Out with groin strain
Plumlee is out for Tuesday's game against the Wizards with a strained right groin.
The veteran big man left Monday's game against the Cavaliers due to right groin soreness, though he's since been diagnosed with a strain. Considering Ryan Kalkbrenner (elbow) is questionable, Charlotte could have to lean heavily on Moussa Diabate for the center minutes.

Wizards' Marvin Bagley: Cleared to play
Bagley (calf) is available for Tuesday's game against Charlotte.
Bagley will shed his questionable tag and is set to reprise his role as Washington's backup center. In 19.4 minutes per contest this season, Bagley holds averages of 10.0 points, 5.6 rebounds and 1.6 assists.
-
Ryan Kalkbrenner C | CHA
Hornets' Ryan Kalkbrenner: Questionable against Washington
Kalkbrenner is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Wizards with a sprained left elbow.
