Knicks' OG Anunoby: Ruled out Tuesday
Anunoby (toe) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against Indiana, Tony East of Forbes.com reports.
Anunoby will miss a third straight game due to toe soreness in his right foot, and his final opportunity to suit up before the All-Star break will come Wednesday against Philadelphia. With the 28-year-old forward sidelined, Landry Shamet and Mohamed Diawara are candidates to see a bump in minutes.

Christian Braun SG | DEN
Nuggets' Christian Braun: Expected to play vs. Grizzlies
Braun is probable for Wednesday's game against Memphis due to a left ankle sprain.
Braun also carried a probable designation leading up to Monday's game against the Cavs and was ultimately able to suit up, so he'll presumably have a good chance to take the court Wednesday in his team's final game before the All-Star break. Braun is averaging 10.5 points, 4.0 rebounds and 3.0 assists in four showings since returning from a 12-game absence due to the ankle injury.

Spencer Jones SF | DEN
Nuggets' Spencer Jones: Tabbed questionable
Jones (concussion) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against Memphis.
Jones has missed back-to-back games due to a concussion, but he has a chance to return Wednesday night. Julian Strawther has filled in for Jones in the starting lineup and would likely do so again if Jones can't play Wednesday.

Nikola Jokic C | DEN
Nuggets' Nikola Jokic: Likely to play Wednesday
Jokic (ankle) is listed as probable for Wednesday's game against the Grizzlies.
Jokic has been a regular on the injury report of late due to a left ankle sprain, though he's expected to suit up for a seventh straight game. The three-time MVP has racked up three consecutive triple-doubles, averaging 24.7 points, 14.0 rebounds, 12.7 assists and 2.7 combined steals-plus-blocks per game during that stretch.

Jamal Murray PG | DEN
Nuggets' Jamal Murray: Still dealing with hip issue
Murray is probable for Wednesday's game against the Grizzlies due to left hip inflammation.
Murray picked up a hip injury during Saturday's win over the Bulls, but it hasn't forced him to miss any additional action thus far. He should have a good chance to suit up Wednesday after being tagged as probable.

Ron Holland SF | DET
Pistons' Ronald Holland: Out again Wednesday
Holland (personal) is out for Wednesday's game against the Raptors.
Holland will miss a second straight game for personal reasons. His absence could mean more opportunities for Isaiah Stewart or Javonte Green, though Stewart could be facing a suspension after taking part in a fight Monday against Charlotte. Wednesday's game is the Pistons' last before the All-Star break, making Holland's next chance to play Feb. 19 against the Knicks.

Jarace Walker PF | IND
Pacers' Jarace Walker: Late addition to injury report
Walker (illness) is listed as doubtful for Tuesday's game against the Knicks.
Walker is dealing with an illness and was an extremely late addition to the injury report. If he's unable to go Tuesday, Ben Sheppard, Kam Jones and Quenton Jackson would be candidates for increased playing time. Walker has averaged 15.0 points, 7.0 rebounds and 2.4 assists in 27.8 minutes per contest over his last five games (two starts).

Dom Barlow PF | PHI
76ers' Dominick Barlow: Questionable for Wednesday
Barlow (illness) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Knicks.
Barlow was a late addition to the injury report prior to Monday night's game against Portland, and he was ultimately downgraded to out. He's in jeopardy of missing a second straight game due to illness after being added to the injury report as questionable for Wednesday's clash.

Dean Wade PF | CLE
Cavaliers' Dean Wade: Won't go Wednesday
Wade (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against Washington.
Wade will miss a third straight outing due to a left ankle sprain, and his next chance to play will come against Brooklyn on Feb. 19. With Evan Mobley (calf) and Wade both sidelined, Jaylon Tyson, Sam Merrill and Nae'Qwan Tomlin are candidates for increased playing time.
