Bagley is out for Tuesday's game against Utah due to a concussion.

Bagley will need to sit out at least one game while in the concussion protocol, and he can be labeled day-to-day ahead of Thursday's matchup with Oklahoma City. The veteran big man has played a mere 7.0 minutes per game over seven appearances since joining Memphis, so his absence is unlikely to free up a noticeable number of minutes.

Missi (hip) will play Monday against the 76ers.

Missi will take the floor despite dealing with right hip soreness. He hasn't logged north of 30 minutes since Feb. 10, so it would be fair to expect 25-to-28 minutes out of the Baylor product Monday evening.

Castleton is not in Toronto's starting lineup against Washington on Monday, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Castleton will come off the bench Monday due to the return of Jakob Poeltl, who rested during Sunday's loss to San Antonio. Castleton started in four of the Raptors' last six games, and over that span he averaged 8.2 points, 7.7 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 1.0 blocks and 0.7 steals over 27.3 minutes per game.

Sabonis (ankle) is available for Monday's game against Boston, Sam Amick of The Athletic reports.

Sabonis will return to action following a three-game absence due to the sprained right ankle. The star big man was expected to miss at least 10 days, but he'll make his return ahead of schedule after going through a full practice with the Kings on Sunday. However, Sabonis has played just 43 total minutes in three appearances during March, and he'll likely face restrictions against the Celtics.

Davis (adductor) is available for Monday's game against the Nets.

Initially listed as doubtful for Monday's contest after he recently resumed practicing in the G League, Davis had his status gradually updated throughout the day and will officially put an end to an 18-game absence. Though he'll take back his spot in the starting five, Davis will be restricted to 28 minutes, per Mike Curtis of The Dallas Morning News. The return of Davis could leave fewer minutes in the frontcourt available for Naji Marshall and Kai Jones, one of whom will likely move to the bench to clear room for Davis on the top unit.

Robinson (ankle) is questionable for Tuesday's game against Dallas.

Tuesday is the first half of a back-to-back for New York, therefore the Knicks will likely hold Robinson out on one leg or the other Wednesday against the Clippers. If the veteran big man ends up sitting out against the Mavericks, Precious Achiuwa would be in line for an uptick in playing time off the bench.

The Mavericks have upgraded Davis (adductor) to probable for Monday's game against Brooklyn, NBA reporter Marc Stein reports.

Davis was initially listed as doubtful to make his return from an 18-game absence due to a left adductor strain, though he's now expected to suit up. The star big man isn't expected to play in both halves of back-to-back sets yet, meaning he'll presumably sit out of Tuesday's game against the Knicks if he's deemed available Monday. Davis will likely operate under a minutes restriction Monday in what would be his first game since Feb. 8.

Baasey (knee) will not play Tuesday against the Pistons.

Bassey hasn't seen the floor since Feb. 23 due to a left knee injury, and he remains without a timetable for a return.

Tillman (knee) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Kings, Jay King of The Athletic reports.

Tillman will miss his third straight game due to a left knee joint sprain, though he hadn't appeared in any of the Celtics' six contests in coach's decisions prior to suffering the injury. If Tillman is cleared to return in the Celtics' next game Wednesday in Phoenix, he's unlikely to be included in the rotation.

Horford has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Kings due to a left big toe sprain, Jay King of The Athletic reports.

Though Horford is being listed with an injury, he's effectively getting a rest day for the second leg of a back-to-back set. He played 30 minutes in Sunday's 129-116 win over the Trail Blazers, finishing with 14 points (6-12 FG, 2-6 3Pt), six rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal in 30 minutes.
