Holmgren (hip) is questionable for Monday's game against the Bulls.

Holmgren has been in and out of the lineup lately as he continues to nurse a left hip injury. If he is unable to suit up, Kenrich Williams and Jaylin Williams (hip, questionable) would be candidates for increased minutes.

Hartenstein (hip) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Bulls.

Hartenstein is in jeopardy of missing Monday's contest after exiting Saturday's win over Indiana due to left hip soreness. With Chet Holmgren (hip) and Jaylin Williams (hip) also being listed as questionable for Monday's matchup, Kenrich Williams, Branden Carlson and Dillon Jones could receive a bump in minutes in the frontcourt.

Bassey (knee) is available for Sunday's contest against the Warriors.

Bassey will be available for the first time since Feb. 23 after missing the last 18 games due to what the Spurs have labeled as an acute-on-chronic bone bruise in his left knee. While Bassey projects to be part of the rotation Sunday, given the length of his absence, the Spurs are likely to keep his minutes in check.

Claxton (rest) is available for Monday's game against the Mavericks.

Claxton missed the second half of a back-to-back set Saturday against the Wizards for rest purposes, but he will be available for Monday's contest in Dallas. Over his last five appearances, Claxton has averaged 12.4 points, 9.4 rebounds, 2.0 blocks and 1.8 assists in 27.6 minutes per game.

Horford (toe) is off the injury report for Monday's game against Memphis, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.

Horford has missed two of the club's last three outings due to the left big toe sprain, though he's slated to return to game action Monday. The veteran big man has made nine appearances in March, averaging 12.3 points, 8.3 rebounds, 3.7 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.0 blocks across 31.6 minutes per contest.

Davis (adductor) is listed as probable for Monday's game against Brooklyn.

Davis has played in three of the Mavericks' last four games while working his way back from an adductor injury and is on track to play in Monday's interconference game. Davis has averaged 15.0 points, 6.7 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 1.0 blocks and 1.0 steals over 28.7 minutes per game since his return.

Gafford (knee) is listed as probable for Monday's game against the Nets.

Gafford hasn't played since Feb. 10, when he suffered a Grade 3 right MCL sprain in a loss to the Kings. He's been practicing for nearly two weeks, and Gafford looks to have made enough progress to put himself on track to return Monday. It's unclear whether Gafford will start if he's available, but his ability to play would leave fewer minutes available for centers Kai Jones and Dwight Powell.

Lively (ankle) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Nets.

His questionable tag is worth noting, as he had previously either been ruled out or listed as doubtful due to a right ankle injury that has kept him off the floor since Jan. 14. That indicates that he is in the final stages of his recovery from the injury, and when he does return he'll likely operate under a minutes restriction to allow him to get up to game speed.

Kessler has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Hornets due to return to competition reconditioning.

Kessler will miss his second consecutive contest while the club works him back to playing form after missing Friday's loss to Denver due to an illness. The big man's next chance to play will come Wednesday against the Rockets. Kyle Filipowski and Oscar Tshiebwe will likely continue to receive an uptick in playing time due to Kessler being sidelined.

Sharpe (knee) has been ruled out for Monday's game against Dallas, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.

Monday will be the fourth straight game that Sharpe will miss due to a sprained right knee. His next chance to play is Thursday against Minnesota, but the severity of the injury is still being assessed and he does not have a clear timeline for a return.
