Pritchard won't start against the Mavericks on Tuesday.

With Baylor Scheierman entering the starting five, Pritchard will come off the bench for the first time this season. Over his last five outings, the 28-year-old guard has averaged 16.2 points, 4.6 assists and 3.2 rebounds while shooting 44.4 percent from three-point range in 30.6 minutes per contest.

Scheierman is in the Celtics' starting lineup against the Mavericks on Tuesday.

Head coach Joe Mazulla is making a change to the starting five after Anfernee Simons was traded to the Bulls earlier in the day, with Scheierman entering the lineup while Payton Pritchard comes off the bench for the first time this season. Scheierman's last start came Friday against the Spurs, when he logged 16 points, five rebounds, one assist and one steal over 31 minutes.

Schroder isn't listed on the injury report ahead of Wednesday's game against the Clippers.

Schroder appears ready for his Cleveland debut after being traded by the Kings on Saturday. It remains to be seen how large of a role he'll take on with his new squad, especially with James Harden (personal) uncertain to play Wednesday after being acquired by the Cavaliers on Tuesday in exchange for Darius Garland (toe) and a second-round pick.

Ellis (recently traded) isn't listed on the injury report for Wednesday's game against the Clippers.

Ellis was traded to Cleveland on Saturday and is set to make his Cavaliers debut in Los Angeles. The 26-year-old guard averaged 5.6 points, 1.3 rebounds and 1.1 steals across 17.6 minutes per contest over 43 regular-season appearances (five starts) with the Kings this season.

Garland (toe) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Clippers.

Garland will miss a 10th consecutive game Tuesday while recovering from a Grade 1 right big toe sprain. His name has cropped up in trade rumors ahead of Thursday's deadline, but if he were to stay with the Cavaliers, then his next opportunity to play would be Saturday against the Kings.

Martin is starting Tuesday's game against the Celtics, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.

Martin will slot in with the starters Tuesday due to the absence of P.J. Washington (concussion). Martin has averaged 6.7 points, 5.1 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.0 blocks in his last seven starts.

Coffey is in the Bucks' starting lineup against the Bulls on Tuesday.

Coffey has played five minutes or less in four of the Bucks' last five games (including a healthy DNP against the Wizards on Thursday). However, he'll enter the Bucks' starting lineup Tuesday for the first time this season due to the absences of Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) and Bobby Portis (hip). Coffey's last NBA start was as a member of the Clippers on Feb. 23, 2024, when he logged 14 points, three rebounds and one assist over 26 minutes against the Pacers.

Caruso (hip) is available for Tuesday's game against the Magic, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.

Caruso was initially added to the injury report ahead of Tuesday's game as doubtful due to a right adductor strain, but he was later upgraded to questionable and has now been given the green light to run the floor. This will mark his first game action since Jan. 19, so the Thunder may keep a close eye on his workload.

Williams (shoulder) is available for Tuesday's game against Orlando, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.

Williams will shake off his questionable tag due to a left shoulder contusion and play in the first leg of this back-to-back set. The big man has averaged 5.8 points, 4.8 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1.0 blocks in 20.0 minutes per game over his last 10 outings (four starts).

Hartenstein (calf) is available for Tuesday's game against the Magic, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.

Hartenstein has played in each of the Thunder's last two games after missing 16 straight outings dating back to late December due to a right calf injury. The veteran big man has been cleared to play in Tuesday's contest, but it remains to be seen whether he'll play in the second leg of the Thunder's back-to-back set Wednesday against the Spurs.
