Magic head coach Jamahl Mosley said that Wagner (ankle), who has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Suns, is "progressing well" in his recovery, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel.

Mosley noted that Wagner has participated in 5-on-5 scrimmages at practice and will be re-evaluated following treatment. Wagner appears to have a real chance to return from a high-grade left ankle sprain Wednesday, when the Magic take on the Hawks in a key Eastern Conference matchup.

Black (abdomen) was spotted going through individual work after Tuesday's shootaround, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reports.

Black will miss his 13th straight game Tuesday, but this update suggests that he's trending in the right direction. For now, he can be considered questionable at best for Wednesday against Atlanta.

Westbrook (toe) is out for Wednesday's game against Toronto.

The veteran guard has no timetable for a return due to irritation in the joint of the first toe in his right foot. Given that the Kings are reeling in the standings, the club is probably not in a rush to push Westbrook to return.

Curry (knee) is out for Wednesday's game against the Spurs and doubtful for Thursday's game against the Cavaliers, Anthony Slater of ESPN.com reports.

Coach Steve Kerr said Curry went through a full practice Tuesday, which included some five-on-five, so the two-time MVP continues to progress in the right direction. Assuming Curry sits out the next two games, a return against Houston on Sunday appears to be on the table.

Murray (ankle) is out for Wednesday's game against Toronto.

Murray is taking contact in practice amid his recovery from an ankle sprain, but he isn't ready for game action. Considering the Kings are buried in the standings, the team is unlikely to be in a hurry to bring Murray back.

DeRozan (hamstring) will be available for Wednesday's game against the Raptors.

DeRozan was held out of Sunday's game against Brooklyn, though it was mostly maintenance-related. The veteran is averaging 14.5 points, 5.5 assists, 3.0 rebounds and 1.5 turnovers in 28.2 minutes per contest.

Monk (shoulder) is off the injury report for Wednesday's game against Toronto.

Monk is set to return from a one-game absence with a shoulder injury that cost him Sunday's loss to the Nets. The veteran guard has averaged 13.2 points, 7.4 assists, 2.0 rebounds and 2.0 three-pointers in 27.0 minutes per tilt in his last five games.

Mitchell closed with 34 points (10-18 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 11-12 FT), two rebounds, five assists and one steal in 36 minutes during Monday's 122-113 victory over Utah.

Coming off a six-point game in Friday's win over the Heat, Mitchell bounced back convincingly Tuesday. In March, the superstar guard has averaged 25.3 points, 5.4 assists, 4.3 rebounds and 1.4 steals in 34.2 minutes per tilt.

Jenkins notched 15 points (7-17 FG, 1-5 3Pt), four rebounds, six assists and two steals across 36 minutes during Monday's 114-110 overtime loss to the Thunder.

Jenkins continues to fill in effectively for the injured Cade Cunningham (chest) in the Pistons' starting lineup. The second-year guard has averaged 19.7 points, 7.5 assists, 4.7 rebounds and 2.2 three-pointers in 36.5 minutes per tilt in his last six games, essentially making Jenkins a must-roster player as the fantasy season winds down.

Harden posted 13 points (4-9 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 4-6 FT), six rebounds, 14 assists, one block and one steal across 39 minutes during Monday's 122-113 win over the Jazz.

This was just another day at the office for Harden as the Cavaliers improved to 47-28 on the season. Over Harden's last seven outings, he's been elite with averages of 22.4 points, 9.6 assists, 5.9 rebounds, 1.3 steals and 3.3 three-pointers.
