Hartenstein has been ruled out for the rest of Saturday's game against the Pacers due to left hip soreness, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.

Hartenstein managed to play 14 minutes in the first half but was replaced by Kenrich Williams at the start of the third quarter. The severity of the injury isn't clear, but it does put Hartenstein in jeopardy of missing Monday's game against the Bulls. He'll finish Saturday's game with four points (2-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt), five rebounds and one assist.

Adams (wrist) will play Sunday against the Suns.

After sitting out Thursday's game against the Jazz, Adams will likely reprise his role as the backup center. There's a possibility for a maintenance day Monday against the Lakers, however.

Bitadze provided 12 points (5-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal across 18 minutes during Saturday's 121-91 victory over the Kings.

Bitadze paced the Magic in rebounding off the bench en route registering a double-double, his first of the month of March. The veteran big man has still averaged just 4.1 points, 3.6 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 0.9 blocks in 13.2 minutes while shooting 54.1 percent from the field through 14 games this month, and his fantasy value should remain capped while Wendell Carter is healthy.

Biyombo is not in the Spurs' starting lineup against the Celtics on Saturday.

Biyombo has started in 18 of 19 games for the Spurs this season, but he'll come off the bench Saturday while Jeremy Sochan draws the start at center. Biyombo has averaged 4.9 points, 5.3 rebounds and 1.5 assists over 18.5 minutes per game since the beginning of March.

Edey will start Saturday's game against the Lakers.

Edey will replace Santi Aldama in the first unit with the Grizzlies looking to shake things up after a blowout loss to the Thunder. As a starter this season, Edey holds averages of 8.7 points, 7.6 rebounds and 1.2 blocks.

Bagley (concussion) is available for Saturday's game against the Lakers, Michael C. Wright of ESPN.com reports.

Bagley has been sidelined for the Grizzlies' last two games, but he has cleared the league's concussion protocol and will be available off the bench for Saturday's contest. He's seen sparse playing time this season but offers depth at center behind Jaren Jackson and Zach Edey.

Jones (hip) will play Saturday against the Bulls.

Jones was able to shake off a questionable tag for this contest. Over his last five games, Jones has averaged 10.8 points, 8.0 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 0.8 blocks.

Gafford (knee) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Bulls.

Gafford won't return to the floor Saturday for Dallas, as his absence will extend to 21 games due to a sprained right knee. The next opportunity for the 26-year-old big man to return to the floor will be Monday against the Nets.

Davis (adductor) will play Saturday against the Bulls.

As expected, Davis will shake off a probable tag to suit up for this contest. He's been quiet in his last two appearances, averaging 13.5 points on 39.3 percent shooting from the field.

Lively (ankle) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Bulls.

Lively has been ramping up his activity and is in the final stages of his recovery from a right ankle injury that has kept him out of action since Jan. 14. He's not quite ready to return Saturday. Still, his next chance to play is Monday against the Nets.
