Richards (ankle) is probable for Monday's game against the Raptors.

After playing 19 minutes against the Lakers on Sunday, Richards appears likely to play through this minor sprain. The center is averaging 13.8 points, 7.8 rebounds and 0.6 blocks over his last five outings.

Jemison (illness) will not play Monday against the Spurs, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Jemison will miss his third straight contest but remains day-to-day. His next chance to play comes Wednesday against Denver. In his absence, Christian Koloko and Alex Len are candidates for increased roles behind Jaxson Hayes.

Williams (knee) will not play Monday against the Wizards.

Williams, who hasn't seen the floor since Feb. 22, will remain on the sidelines Monday and currently doesn't have a timetable to return.

Poeltl won't play Monday against the Suns due to rest purposes, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Poeltl recorded 19 points (9-13 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 0-2 FT), eight rebounds, three assists and two steals in 25 minutes during Sunday's 105-102 loss to Portland, and now he'll get the night off during the second leg of a back-to-back set. His absence should clear the way for Orlando Robinson and Colin Castleton to cover most of the minutes at center.

Dallas recalled Davis (thigh) from the G League's Texas Legends on Monday.

Davis participated in 5-on-5 drills during Monday's G League practice as part of his return to action plan, but there's no word on how he fared just yet. As far as a timetable goes, it's still murky whether Davis will suit up for the Mavericks in the near future.

Drummond (toe) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Rockets.

Drummond will miss a third straight game, marking his fourth absence over Philly's last five games. With Adem Bona (ankle) also sidelined, Guerschon Yabusele (knee), Oshae Brissett, Alex Reese and Chuma Okeke are candidates for increased roles.

Allen totaled 20 points (8-11 FG, 4-6 FT), 12 rebounds, two assists and one block over 32 minutes during Sunday's 108-103 loss to the Magic.

Allen barely missed any shots from the field and posted a double-double for the fifth time across eight appearances this month. The big man is averaging 15.6 points, 10.4 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 2.9 steals-plus-blocks in that span. He continues to be one of the most reliable two-way big men across all formats.

Carter closed with 16 points (6-13 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-3 FT), 14 rebounds and one assist in 35 minutes during Sunday's 108-103 win over Cleveland.

Carter was solid on both ends of the court and notched his ninth double-double of the season. Furthermore, the big man finished just one board shy of matching his season-high mark in that category. Carter is averaging 9.5 points, 7.0 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 0.6 blocks per game in eight games since the beginning of March.

Clingan notched five points (2-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 14 rebounds, one assist, three blocks and one steal in 30 minutes during Sunday's 105-102 win over the Raptors.

Clingan grabbed double-digit rebounds for the fourth time over his last seven contests and recorded multiple blocks for the fifth time in that stretch. The big man continues to play a big role on the defensive end of the court even if he's not offering too much on offense, and he will remain a solid option on offense as long as he stays in a starting role.

Poeltl had 19 points (9-13 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 0-2 FT), eight rebounds, three assists and two steals in 25 minutes during Sunday's 105-102 loss to Portland.

Poeltl was rested Friday against the Jazz but was his usual productive self Sunday despite the loss, finishing just two points shy of a double-double. Poeltl has been rested in three of the Raptors' last seven games, and given the team is playing Monday against the Suns in the second leg of a back-to-back set, it wouldn't be surprising if he's rested for that contest.
