Paul Reed C | DET
Pistons' Paul Reed: Scores in double figures
Reed provided 10 points (4-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-4 FT), seven rebounds, one block and two steals in 18 minutes during Saturday's 116-93 win over the 76ers.
Reed provided a solid boost off the bench Saturday, and he was far more involved across the board than in his previous showing, when he was held to four points and four rebounds in 16 minutes Thursday against Minnesota. The DePaul product has scored in double figures in four of his last five appearances and is averaging 11.4 points, 6.0 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.6 blocks in 19.6 minutes during this stretch.

Lakers' Adou Thiero: Returns from G League
The Lakers recalled Thiero from the G League's South Bay Lakers on Sunday.
Since their last game Thursday, the Lakers have lost Austin Reaves (oblique) and Luka Doncic (hamstring) to long-term injuries, and with Marcus Smart (ankle) joining them on the sideline for Sunday's game in Dallas, Thiero was summoned from the G League to provide reinforcement. Even if he's included in the rotation Sunday, Thiero likely won't be in store for enough minutes to make a meaningful fantasy impact.

Pelicans' Bryce McGowens: Remaining out Sunday
McGowens (toe) is out for Sunday's game against the Magic.
McGowens will remain sidelined while on the mend from a fractured toe. The team hasn't provided much of an update on his rehab, so it's unclear if he'll return before the regular season comes to an end. McGowens' next chance to suit up will arrive Tuesday against the Jazz.

Tristan Vukcevic PF | WAS
Wizards' Tristan Vukcevic: Game-time call Sunday
Vukcevic (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Nets.
Vukcevic sat out of Saturday's matchup with the Heat due to a bruised right knee, but he'll have an opportunity to return for the second half of Washington's back-to-back. Alex Sarr (toe) has already been downgraded to out, so Anthony Gill and Julian Reese would be in line for an uptick in minutes if Vukcevic also can't go.

Trae Young PG | WAS
Wizards' Trae Young: Still out Sunday
Young (quadriceps) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Nets.
Young hasn't played since March 16, and while the Wizards continue to treat him as day-to-day, it'd be surprising if the veteran point guard suited up during the final week of the regular season. In his absence, Bub Carrington, Jaden Hardy and Sharife Cooper remain candidates for increased roles.

Tre Johnson SG | WAS
Wizards' Tre Johnson: Questionable for Sunday
Johnson (foot) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Nets.
After posting 11 points (5-13 FG), four assists and three rebounds in 25 minutes during Saturday's loss in Miami, Johnson is in danger of sitting out the second half of Washington's weekend back-to-back set. If he's sidelined, Jaden Hardy, Jamir Watkins and Sharife Cooper would be candidates for increased roles.

Justin Champagnie SF | WAS
Wizards' Justin Champagnie: Iffy for Sunday
Champagnie (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Nets.
Champagnie posted 12 points (4-9 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists and one steal in 21 minutes off the bench during Saturday's 152-136 loss to the Heat, but he's in danger of sitting out the second half of Washington's back-to-back set. If he's sidelined, Jamir Watkins, Leaky Black and Julian Reese would be candidates for increased roles.
-
Alex Sarr C | WAS
Wizards' Alex Sarr: Will remain out Sunday
Sarr (toe) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Nets.
Sarr will miss a fifth straight game, including both halves of Washington's weekend back-to-back set. In his absence, Tristan Vukcevic (knee) is a candidate for increased playing time, but if he's also sidelined, Anthony Gill and Julian Reese would likely be thrust into expanded roles.

Matas Buzelis SF | CHI
Bulls' Matas Buzelis: Dealing with illness
Buzelis (illness) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Suns.
After not being listed on the Bulls' initial injury report, Buzelis has been downgraded to questionable after presumably waking up under the weather. If he's sidelined, Isaac Okoro, Patrick Williams and Leonard Miller would all be candidates for increased roles.
