Warriors' Quinten Post: Ruled out Monday
Post (foot) won't play Monday against the Warriors.
Coach Steve Kerr mentioned in his pregame presser that Post was banged up after Sunday's game against the Knicks, per Nick Friedell of The Athletic, and the big man has since been downgraded to out. Look for Will Richard, Gary Payton and Malevy Leons to be candidates for an increase in playing time as a result.

Myles Turner C | MIL
Bucks' Myles Turner: Back on injury report
Turner is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Cavaliers due to a right calf strain.
Turner has recently been dealing with right patella tendinitis, though it now seems he's picked up a calf injury. His status for Tuesday will presumably depend on how he fares during shootaround and warmups ahead of tipoff.

Ivica Zubac C | IND
Pacers' Ivica Zubac: Questionable for Tuesday
Zubac (ankle) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Knicks.
Zubac has played in each of the past three contests but is listed as questionable due to a left ankle sprain that previously sidelined him for 15 games. If he's unable to play, Jay Huff figures to slot into the starting center role and log heavier minutes in the post.

Branden Carlson C | OKC
Thunder's Branden Carlson: Another absence coming
Carlson (back) is out for Tuesday's game against the Magic.
Carlson will miss a ninth consecutive game due to a back strain. The second-year big man looks to be out indefinitely, but his next chance to play comes Wednesday against the Nets in Brooklyn.

Warriors' Quinten Post: Listed as questionable
Post is questionable for Monday's game against the Wizards due to right foot injury management.
After he posted a career-high 22 points (9-16 FG, 4-10 3Pt) and three blocks over 35 minutes during Sunday's 110-107 loss to the Knicks, the Warriors are thinking about holding Post out for the second leg of this back-to-back set. Draymond Green (back), who's expected to play Monday, and Kristaps Porzingis would be in line to share the center minutes if Post joins Al Horford (calf) on the sidelines.

Kristaps Porzingis C | GS
Warriors' Kristaps Porzingis: Absent from injury report
Porzingis (illness) is off the injury report for Monday's game against the Wizards.
Porzingis is ready to play during the second half of this back-to-back set while the Warriors continue to manage his workload. Over his first four appearances for Golden State, the star big man has averaged 14.5 points, 3.5 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.8 blocks in 20.8 minutes per game.

Robert Williams III C | POR
Trail Blazers' Robert Williams: Questionable for Monday
Williams (knee) is questionable for Monday's game against Brooklyn.
Williams returned from a one-game absence Sunday against the 76ers and finished with six points, 12 rebounds and three blocks in 20 minutes. He may be held out for injury maintenance Monday, and if that happens, Sidy Cissoko could become more involved for Portland.

Daniel Gafford C | DAL
Mavericks' Daniel Gafford: Doubtful for Monday
Gafford (illness) is doubtful for Monday's game against the Pelicans.
After resting Friday against Cleveland, which was the second night of a back-to-back set, Gafford was expected to return to action for Sunday's rematch versus the Cavaliers, but he missed that contest due to an illness. The veteran center remains under the weather and is expected to miss the second half of Dallas' back-to-back set, which should allow Marvin Bagley to see an increased role. However, the Mavericks started a small lineup Sunday, with Cooper Flagg, Naji Marshall and P.J. Washington in the frontcourt.

Nick Richards C | CHI
Bulls' Nick Richards: Probable for Monday
Richards has lower back tightness and is probable for Monday's game versus Memphis.
Richards was a late addition to the injury report, but he intends to play through this minor setback. Over his last six games, he's averaging 11.0 points, 9.5 rebounds and 1.3 blocks in 26.2 minutes per contest.
