NBA Player News

Huff is in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game versus Minnesota, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports.

Huff is supplanting Micah Potter at center in the starting lineup Tuesday. Over his last five starts, Huff has averaged 11.4 points, 4.8 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 2.2 three-pointers in 24.1 minutes per game.

Slawson won't start Tuesday's game against the Timberwolves, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports.

After starting and recording a career-high 19 points in Sunday's loss to Cleveland, Slawson will head back to the bench. As a reserve this season (five appearances), he has averaged 5.2 points, 4.0 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 1.6 steals and 1.2 blocks in 18.6 minutes per contest.

Bailey (knee) is listed as out for Tuesday's game against New Orleans.

Bailey was previously listed as doubtful, so this latest update isn't much of a surprise. His next opportunity to suit up will be Friday versus the Grizzlies. In the meantime, Cody Williams, Brice Sensabaugh and Kyle Filipowski are expected to do most of the heavy lifting on offense.

Riley is coming off the bench in Tuesday's game against the Bulls.

Bilal Coulibaly (heel) is replacing Riley in the starting lineup Tuesday. Riley has played at least 25 minutes in each of his last nine appearances as a reserve, so the expectation is that he'll still play significant minutes from the second unit.

Murray-Boyles (quadriceps) has been upgraded to probable for Tuesday's game against Miami.

Murray-Boyles was initially listed as questionable due to a left quadriceps contusion, though he's trending in the right direction ahead of tipoff at 7:30 p.m. ET. The rookie first-rounder has appeared in each of Toronto's last four games, averaging 16.3 points, 5.8 rebounds and 2.0 assists in 22.8 minutes per tilt during that span.

Filipowski (back) is available for Tuesday's game against the Pelicans.

Filipowski was initially listed as questionable before being upgraded to probable. In two games against New Orleans this season, the 22-year-old has averaged 12.5 points, 6.0 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 0.5 blocks and 0.5 steals across 24.0 minutes of work. However, with the Jazz down several of their top scorers, Filipowski should receive more opportunities on the offensive end.

Quickley (foot) has been upgraded to probable for Tuesday's game against the Heat.

Quickley is trending toward suiting up Tuesday following an eight-game absence due to right foot plantar fasciitis. If the 26-year-old point guard is cleared to play, there would be fewer minutes available for the likes of Jamal Shead, Ja'Kobe Walter and A.J. Lawson.

Mamukelashvili (knee) has been upgraded to probable for Tuesday's game against the Heat.

Mamukelashvili was initially listed as questionable for Tuesday's game, but now it appears likely that he'll be active. Check back for official confirmation on his status closer to tipoff.

Krejci (calf) is listed as doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Spurs.

Krejci has missed the Trail Blazers' last 11 games. With another absence potentially on the horizon Wednesday, the 25-year-old will have two more chances to suit up before the Play-In Tournament commences. In 18 appearances with Portland this season, Krejci has averaged 7.4 points, 2.8 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 0.3 blocks and 0.6 steals across 19.9 minutes per contest.

Spencer (back) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Nuggets.

Spencer continues to deal with lower-back soreness and will miss his third game this month. His next chance to play will come Friday in Utah. In the meantime, Lucas Williamson, Adama Bal and Rayan Rupert are candidates for increased playing time for the injury-riddled Grizzlies.
