Gilgeous-Alexander (finger) has been cleared to play Tuesday against the Magic, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.

Gilgeous-Alexander was added to the injury report Monday due to a sprained right index finger, but the issue won't prevent him from suiting up Tuesday. The 27-year-old is averaging 32.8 points, 4.8 rebounds, 7.0 assists and 1.0 steals over his last five games.

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

Holmgren will shed his questionable tag due to low back spasms and suit up in the front end of this back-to-back set. Over his last five outings, the star big man has averaged 17.0 points, 9.2 rebounds, 2.8 blocks and 1.8 assists across 30.6 minutes per contest.

Gueye is not in the Hawks' starting lineup against the Heat on Tuesday, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Gueye made his fifth start of the season Saturday during the Hawks 129-124 loss to the Pacers, when he logged 15 points, four rebounds, three steals and one block over 32 minutes. Even with Onyeka Okongwu (mouth) not playing Tuesday, Gueye will revert to a bench role while Christian Koloko enters Atlanta's starting lineup.

Koloko will start against the Heat on Tuesday, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

With Onyeka Okongwu (mouth) still out, Koloko will get the starting nod over Mouhamed Gueye on Tuesday. During his lone start with the Hawks in a loss to Houston on Thursday, Koloko posted six points (3-7 FG, 0-2 3Pt), seven rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal across 26 minutes.

Mann won't start against the Lakers on Tuesday, C.J. Holmes of the New York Daily News reports.

With Michael Porter returning from a two-game absence due to personal reasons, Mann will slide to the second unit. In three outings off the bench so far this season, he has averaged 3.3 points and 1.3 rebounds across 15.0 minutes per contest.

Wolf will be deployed off the bench Tuesday against the Lakers, C.J. Holmes of the New York Daily News reports.

Wolf will retreat to a bench role following the return of Noah Clowney from a back injury. Wolf has struggled to produce off the bench of late, averaging 6.6 points, 4.8 rebounds and 1.4 assists in his last five appearances as a reserve.

Gardner is starting Tuesday's game against the Hawks, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Gardner will make his second start in the last three games. He could be in for a steady diet of minutes Tuesday without the services of Tyler Herro (ribs), Norman Powell (personal) and Andrew Wiggins (hamstring). Gardner fared well in his last start Saturday against Chicago, finishing with 12 points, 11 rebounds and two steals in 23 minutes.

Jones (hamstring) will dress for Tuesday's game against the Bucks but is not expected to play, K.C. Johnson of Chicago Sports Network reports.

Jones has missed Chicago's last six games due to a left hamstring strain and will presumably serve as emergency depth Tuesday with Chicago extremely shorthanded. If the 26-year-old guard doesn't see the floor against Milwaukee, his next opportunity to play will come Thursday against the Raptors.

Phillips (wrist) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against Milwaukee.

Phillips was added to the injury report as questionable after picking up a right wrist sprain, and he's since been ruled out for Tuesday's clash. His absence shouldn't have much of an impact on the rotation considering Chicago's frontcourt is otherwise healthy.

Filipowski is starting Tuesday's game against the Pacers.

The Jazz have a depleted frontcourt for the interim in the aftermath of Tuesday's Jaren Jackson trade. It's set to be the 17th start of the campaign for Filipowski, who has averaged 14.2 points, 8.9 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.0 steals in 29.5 minutes per contest in his last 11 starts.
