  • 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.

  • Mavericks' Marvin Bagley: Questionable for Monday

    Bagley is questionable for Monday's matchup with Minnesota due to a left shoulder impingement.

    Monday's game will be the first of a back-to-back set, so it wouldn't be shocking to see Bagley get hit with a maintenance day. If he's ruled out, Dwight Powell will have the chance for some extra minutes.

  • Knicks' Ariel Hukporti: Returns to parent club

    The Knicks recalled Hukporti from the G League's Westchester Knicks on Saturday.

    Hukporti will be available for Sunday's game in Oklahoma City but isn't expected to be featured in the rotation. The second-year center suited up in Westchester's season finale Saturday, recording 32 points (13-23 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 10 rebounds, five blocks, one assist and one steal across 38 minutes in a 123-121 win over the Windy City Bulls.

  • Jericho Sims C | MIL

    Bucks' Jericho Sims: Starting Sunday

    Sims is in the starting lineup for Sunday's matchup with the Clippers, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.

    Andre Jackson, Gary Trent, Ousmane Dieng and Larry Nance will round out the first unit for Sunday's game. As a starter this season, Sims has averaged 6.2 points, 6.2 rebounds and 1.2 assists per game.

  • Clippers' Isaiah Jackson: Won't play Sunday

    Jackson (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game in Milwaukee, NBA writer Justin Russo reports.

    Jackson will miss Sunday's game after spraining his right ankle during Friday's win in Indiana. With Jackson sitting out, starting center Brook Lopez could have a higher minutes floor, and backup big man Nicolas Batum may be in store for a heightened role in the rotation.

  • Myles Turner C | MIL

    Bucks' Myles Turner: Ruled out for Sunday

    Turner (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game versus the Clippers, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.

    Turner will hit the sidelines for the second leg of this back-to-back set, and for now, he should be considered questionable for Tuesday's meeting with the Mavericks. Jericho Sims, Ousmane Dieng and Pete Nance will help fill the void with Turner unavailable.

  • Celtics' Neemias Queta: Trending toward playing Sunday

    Queta (thumb) has been upgraded from questionable to probable for Sunday's game against Charlotte, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.

    It looks like Queta will play through a right thumb sprain for Sunday's game, though there's no guarantee that he'll be available for the second leg of the Celtics' back-to-back set against the Hawks on Monday. Queta has logged double-digit rebounds in three of his last four outings and has averaged 10.1 points, 8.1 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 0.9 blocks over 27.9 minutes per game across his last seven appearances.

  • Myles Turner C | MIL

    Bucks' Myles Turner: Iffy to play Sunday

    Turner is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Clippers due to right patella tendonopathy.

    Turner has been playing through a right calf injury as of late but also popped up on the injury report earlier in March due to a knee issue. Sunday's game is the second leg of a back-to-back set for the Bucks, and if Turner is unable to play, then Jericho Sims would be the top candidate to enter Milwaukee's starting lineup. Turner played 28 minutes in Saturday's 127-95 loss to the Spurs and finished with 15 points, six rebounds, one assist, two blocks, one steal and four three-pointers.
