Suns' Ryan Dunn: Late addition to injury report
Dunn is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Nuggets due to right groin soreness, Kellan Olson of ArizonaSports.com reports.
Dunn was an extremely late addition to the injury report, which isn't a positive sign ahead of tipoff at 11:00 p.m. ET. If the second-year forward is ultimately ruled out, Rasheer Fleming would likely see increased playing time.

Clippers' Jordan Miller: Iffy for Wednesday
Miller is listed questionable for Wednesday's game against the Raptors due to back soreness.
After the Clippers' 129-96 win over the Bucks on Monday, head coach Tyronn Lue told NBA writer Justin Russo that Miller's back locked up on him during the contest, but Lue suggested that the third-year forward would be "OK" moving forward. While Miller doesn't look to be in danger of missing extended time, his status for Wednesday's contest is still up in the air. Even if Miller ends up being able to play through the back injury, he might be in line for a reduced role. The Clippers are set to get Bennedict Mathurin (toe) and John Collins (ankle) back from four- and one-game absences, and Kawhi Leonard (ankle) is listed as questionable but could get the green light to play.

Bennedict Mathurin SF | LAC
Clippers' Bennedict Mathurin: Good to go vs. Toronto
Mathurin (toe) has been cleared to play Wednesday against the Raptors, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.
Mathurin is ready to return to the court following a four-game absence due to a right toe injury. He was enjoying a strong March before going down with the injury, averaging 19.4 points, 5.8 rebounds and 1.7 assists over 10 appearances.

Kawhi Leonard SF | LAC
Clippers' Kawhi Leonard: Iffy for Wednesday
Leonard (ankle) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Raptors, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.
Leonard has been a mainstay on the injury report of late due to a left ankle sprain and could miss Wednesday's contest. If the star forward is ultimately ruled out, Jordan Miller (back), Bennedict Mathurin and Nicolas Batum would be candidates to see increased burn.

John Collins PF | LAC
Clippers' John Collins: Cleared for Wednesday return
Collins (ankle) will play Wednesday against the Raptors, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.
Collins will return to action following a one-game absence due to a left ankle sprain. He'll presumably slot right back into the starting lineup, which would bump Nicolas Batum back to his usual bench role.

Robert Williams III C | POR
Trail Blazers' Robert Williams: Iffy for Wednesday
Williams (knee) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Bucks.
Williams took a seat for Monday's game against the Nets due to left knee injury management, and the Blazers are unsure if the big man will take the court Wednesday. Expect an update from the team closer to tipoff.

Vit Krejci SF | POR
Trail Blazers' Vit Krejci: Questionable for Wednesday
Krejci (calf) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Bucks.
Krejci hasn't taken the court since March 15 after suffering a left calf injury, but he appears to be approaching a return. The team may elect to see how he fares in shootaround or pregame warmups before providing another update on his availability for Wednesday.
-
Jerami Grant PF | POR
Trail Blazers' Jerami Grant: Questionable to face Milwaukee
Grant (foot) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Bucks.
Grant may miss a third straight game due to left foot soreness, which would leave more minutes available for guys like Sidy Cissoko and Kris Murray. Over his last five outings, Grant has averaged 15.0 points, 3.4 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.0 steals in 30.6 minutes per contest.

Bobby Portis PF | MIL
Bucks' Bobby Portis: Picks up wrist injury
Portis is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Trail Blazers with a right wrist sprain.
Portis had just put a rib injury behind him, but he's now dealing with a wrist issue that has him in danger of missing Wednesday's contest. Kyle Kuzma (Achilles) is also questionable, so the Bucks could be a bit thin in the frontcourt if one or both players are unable to go.
