Martin (heel) is not expected to play Sunday versus the Bulls.

It looks like Martin will be spending the final game of the season on the sidelines, which should allow AJ Johnson and John Poulakidas to remain in the rotation. Check back for official confirmation on Martin's status closer to Sunday's tipoff.

Marshall (hip) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Bulls.

It appears as though Marshall will miss a third consecutive game while tending to a left hip contusion. If he's indeed ruled out for Sunday's game, he'll end the 2025-26 regular season averaging a career-high 15.2 points per game along with 4.7 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 1.1 steals and 0.8 threes over 29.5 minutes per game. Klay Thompson (rest), Khris Middleton and John Poulakidas should operate in elevated roles if Marshall is sidelined.

Thompson (illness) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Sunday's regular-season finale against the Bulls.

Thompson missed the past two games for the Mavericks due to an illness, but it appears he'll be available for the last game of the regular season. His return may result in fewer minutes for AJ Johnson and John Poulakidas.

Cisse (two-way) is listed as probable for Sunday's game against Chicago.

Cisse has appeared in the Mavericks' last two games, most recently finishing with seven points, eight assists, two steals and three blocks across 19 minutes in Friday's 139-120 loss to San Antonio. With Daniel Gafford (rest), P.J. Washington (elbow) and Marvin Bagley (shoulder) doubtful for this contest, Cisse could continue to see action. There's also a chance he will start for the second time during the 2025-26 campaign.

Bagley (shoulder) is doubtful for Sunday's game versus the Bulls.

It appears Bagley will miss the Mavs' regular-season finale after aggravating his shoulder injury during Friday's loss to the Spurs. With both Bagley and Daniel Gafford (rest) expected to sit Sunday, Dwight Powell, Moussa Cisse and Tyler Smith will fill the center minutes for Dallas.

Hukporti finished with eight points (4-4 FG), four rebounds and one assist across 13 minutes during Friday's 112-95 victory over the Raptors.

Hukporti didn't play in New York's' previous two contests heading into Friday night. While the 23-year-old narrowly missed his first double-digit scoring effort since the 132-101 win over the Wizards, it was still an above-average showing. With the Knicks locked into the No. 3 seed in the Eastern Conference, Hukporti might see extended action in Sunday's meeting with the Hornets. However, he likely won't see the floor much (if at all) throughout the postseason, barring injuries to Mitchell Robinson or Karl-Anthony Towns.

Clarkson provided 10 points (4-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound and four assists across 18 minutes during Friday's 112-95 win over Toronto.

Clarkson logged 18 minutes in the win over the Raptors. He also had his first double-digit scoring effort since the 111-94 loss to Houston on March 31. With OG Anunoby (ankle) exiting Friday's game, Clarkson might see additional action in Sunday's meeting with Charlotte. That trend could extend into the postseason if Anunoby misses time moving ahead.

Williams had 14 points (6-16 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 0-2 FT), three rebounds and five assists in 34 minutes during Friday's 147-101 victory over the Grizzlies.

Williams didn't have a horrible showing Friday. However, he still had trouble finding the bottom of the net, which has been a recurring theme of late. With only one more game left on the regular-season schedule for Utah, Williams will presumably remain in the starting lineup in Sunday's meeting with the Lakers, assuming Isaiah Collier (hamstring) and Keyonte George (hamstring) remain on the shelf.

Bridges registered 13 points (5-10 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), one rebound, three assists and three steals over 33 minutes during Friday's 112-95 win over Toronto.

Bridges finished with his fifth straight double-digit scoring effort. Still, despite OG Anunoby (ankle) failing to return after exiting in the second quarter, Bridges couldn't capitalize on the scoring end. The 29-year-old hasn't been as productive offensively compared to previous seasons, averaging 14.6 points while adding 3.9 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 0.8 blocks and 1.3 steals in 81 games. To keep his consecutive games streak alive, Bridges is expected to play in Sunday's meeting with the Hornets. However, with New York clinching the No. 3 seed in the Eastern Conference, he may start before exiting as soon as possible for the remainder of the contest.

Gonzalez provided 10 points (4-7 FG, 2-4 3Pt), four rebounds, one assist and three steals over 25 minutes during Friday's 144-118 win over the Pelicans.

Gonzalez didn't suit up in the Celtics' previous two contests heading into Friday's meeting with the Pelicans. He logged over 20 minutes for the first time since the 104-102 loss to Oklahoma City on March 12, which was also his last double-digit scoring effort. With Boston locking up the No. 2 seed in the Eastern Conference for the playoffs, Gonzalez might find himself in the starting lineup for the season-finale versus Orlando. However, the 20-year-old could have a tough time getting on the floor during the postseason.
