Brunson (ankle, neck) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Pacers.

The Knicks are considering giving the banged-up Brunson the night off versus an inferior opponent due to right-ankle injury management and a cervical strain. New York's offense would likely run through Karl-Anthony Towns on Tuesday if Brunson sits out, while Jose Alvarado and Landry Shamet would be the top candidates to join the starting lineup in this case.

Kuminga (knee) is available for Monday's game against Orlando, Kevin Chouinard of the Hawks' official site reports.

Kuminga will shed the questionable tag and suit up for Monday's home contest after a left knee injury sidelined him for four of the previous five games. In four appearances (one start) with Atlanta, the forward is averaging 16.5 points, 8.0 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.3 steals in 24.8 minutes per contest.

Newell was recalled to the Hawks from the G League's College Park Skyhawks on Monday.

Newell will return to the NBA club after presumably logging a few practices with College Park. He's appeared in one game for Atlanta since Feb. 11 but should be available if needed Monday night against Orlando.

Larsson is probable for Tuesday's game against the Hornets with a bruised left elbow.

The Heat are likely to check back with Larsson to see how he's feeling closer to Tuesday's tipoff. He's scored in double figures in six consecutive games, keeping Larsson on the streaming radar in most fantasy settings, especially while Andrew Wiggins (toe) remains out.

Jovic (back) is probable for Tuesday's game against the Hornets.

Jovic is on the verge of ending nearly a month-long absence due to lower-back injury management. With Andrew Wiggins (toe) sidelined, Jovic could play a minor role off the bench in his expected return.

Wiggins (toe) is out for Tuesday's game against the Hornets.

Tuesday will mark a sixth consecutive absence for Wiggins, whose next chance to play comes Thursday against the Lakers. Kel'el Ware and Jaime Jaquez should both continue to take on a more prominent role in the Miami frontcourt.

Howard (illness) is available for Monday's game against the Hawks.

Howard is available to handle his typical duties off the bench. He's averaged 10.3 points, 3.8 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.8 three-pointers in 23.1 minutes per contest in his last four games.

Carlson (back) is out for Tuesday's game against the Magic.

Carlson will miss a ninth consecutive game due to a back strain. The second-year big man looks to be out indefinitely, but his next chance to play comes Wednesday against the Nets in Brooklyn.

Williams (hamstring) is out for Tuesday's game against the Magic.

Williams has no timetable for a return from a right hamstring strain, which is costing him a 14th straight game. His next chance to play comes Wednesday, when the Thunder take on the Nets in Brooklyn, but he can be considered doubtful for future contests until the team provides an update.

Leonard (ankle) is out for Monday's game against the Spurs.

After turning his left ankle in Saturday's loss to the Kings, Leonard won't be able to play Monday and can be deemed day-to-day ahead of Wednesday's matchup against the Pelicans. The Clippers figure to turn to John Collins to start at power forward in Leonard's stead, and Derrick Jones should also see an uptick in playing time.
