Hart is out for Sunday's game against the Hornets due to right ankle injury management.

OG Anunoby (ankle), Jalen Brunson (ankle) and Karl-Anthony Towns (elbow) will be joining Hart on the sidelines, so Mikal Bridges will be the only regular starter available for Sunday's game. Landry Shamet and Jordan Clarkson could get some time to shine with so many key players out for New York.

Merrill (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Wizards.

Merrill is one of nine Cavaliers players being listed as out for Sunday's regular-season finale, though he figures to return for the postseason. With the team set to be very shorthanded in the backcourt, Craig Porter, Tyrese Proctor and Max Strus should pick up the slack.

Brunson (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Hornets.

The Knicks are locked in as the No. 3 seed in the East, so Brunson and the rest of New York's starters will be sidelined for Sunday's regular-season finale. Brunson will end the regular season averaging 26.0 points, 6.8 assists, 3.3 rebounds, 2.6 threes and 0.8 steals over 35.0 minutes per game. Miles McBride, Jose Alvarado and Jordan Clarkson should all see extended run time against Charlotte.

Anunoby (ankle) won't play Sunday versus the Hornets.

Anunoby will skip New York's final regular-season game after twisting his ankle during Friday's win over the Raptors. His absence should lead to more minutes for Mohamed Diawara and Jeremy Sochan.

Mobley (calf) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Wizards.

Mobley will join eight other players on the inactive list for Cleveland's regular-season finale, though he should be good to go for the postseason. With Jarrett Allen (knee) and Thomas Bryant (calf) also sidelined, Larry Nance, Olivier Sarr and Tristan Enaruna are all in line to see increased playing time.

Harden (rest) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Wizards.

The Cavaliers are listing nine players as out ahead of Sunday's regular-season finale. With the team set to be very thin in the backcourt, Craig Porter and Tyrese Proctor should see increased burn.

White is probable for Sunday's game against the Knicks due to right calf soreness.

White is expected to push through the pain and make himself available for Sunday's game, and managers can expect to get official confirmation on his status closer to tipoff. Through 20 games with the Hornets, White has averaged 15.5 points, 3.1 assists and 2.0 triples per contest.

Mitchell (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Wizards.

Mitchell will be joined on the inactive list by several other key contributors in Cleveland's regular-season finale due to injury maintenance. With the Cavaliers set to be very shorthanded in the backcourt, Craig Porter and Tyrese Proctor are likely to step into expanded roles.

Allen (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Wizards.

Along with several other key contributors, Allen will sit out Cleveland's regular-season finale, though he should be good to go for the playoffs. With the big man and Evan Mobley (calf) both unavailable, Larry Nance and Olivier Sarr should see increased playing time.

Okongwu is questionable to play Sunday against the Heat due to a sprained left index finger.

Okongwu's left index finger has been bothering him since the end of March, so Atlanta may opt to hold him out of their regular-season finale with Miami. If Okongwu can't play, Mouhamed Gueye would have a chance to start, and there would be more minutes available for Asa Newell and Christian Koloko.
