Vucevic will come off the bench in Monday's game against Indiana.

Vucevic is set to return from a seven-game absence streak due to a calf injury, though he'll operate under a minutes restriction of 26-to-28 minutes off the bench, per K.C. Johnson of Chicago Sports Network. The veteran big man has averaged 15.2 points, 9.0 rebounds and 1.8 assists across 30.8 minutes per game in his last five outings.

Huff is in the Grizzlies' starting lineup against the Suns on Monday.

Huff has seen inconsistent playing time with the Grizzlies, but the big man will make his second start of the season Monday due to the absences of Zach Edey (ankle) and Jaren Jackson (ankle). Huff's first start was Nov. 13 against the Lakers, and he finished that game with six points, three rebounds, one block and one steal over 13 minutes.

Nurkic (neck) will play Monday against Miami.

Nurkic was trending in the right direction leading up to tipoff, and the team has since confirmed that he'll be available following a one-game absence. He's averaging 7.5 points, 8.5 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 1.1 steals and 1.0 blocks over his last eight games.

Drummond (illness) is out for Monday's game against the Hawks, Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Drummond is the latest casualty of a depleted Sixers team for this clash Monday. His next chance to play will come against the Raptors on Wednesday.

Robinson will start in Monday's game against Washington, Esfandiar Baraheni of The Athletic reports.

The big man will receive the starting nod due to Jakob Poeltl (rest) being sidelined. Robinson has started in three outings this season, during which he has averaged 8.7 points, 6.3 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 0.7 steals across 25.3 minutes per contest.

Len will start in Monday's game against Brooklyn, Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet reports.

The veteran big man will supplant Jarred Vanderbilt in the starting five due to Jaxson Hayes (knee) being sidelined. Vanderbilt drew the start at center during Saturday's loss to Boston, though Len will join the first unit against the Nets after receiving a DNP via coach's decision in each of the Lakers' last two outings.

Kornet is in the Celtics' starting lineup against the Jazz on Monday.

Kornet will make his fourth start since the beginning of March due to the absences of Kristaps Porzingis (illness) and Al Horford (toe). Kornet has averaged 5.0 points, 4.6 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.6 blocks over 23.2 minutes per game over his last five outings.

Clarke (knee) won't play Monday against the Suns.

Clarke will miss his second game of March after picking up a right knee injury. The Grizzlies will be severely shorthanded in the frontcourt Monday without Clarke, Zach Edey (ankle), Jaren Jackson (ankle) and Santi Aldama (calf), so look for Jay Huff and GG Jackson to see a large uptick in minutes.

Jokic (elbow/ankle) has been cleared to play Monday against the Thunder.

Jokic was tagged as questionable leading up to tipoff, but he'll ultimately get the green light to run the floor. He's off to a strong start to March, averaging 24.3 points, 15.8 rebounds, 11.5 assists and 1.8 steals in four appearances.

Edey (ankle) is out for Monday's game against the Suns.

The rookie big man was listed as questionable for the second leg of this back-to-back set, and the Grizzlies have opted to rule him out to avoid further risks. His next chance to play will come against Utah on Wednesday.
