Ryan Rollins SG | MIL
Bucks' Ryan Rollins: Good to go Sunday
Rollins (hip) is available for Sunday's game against the Grizzlies.
Rollins will shake off a questionable tag and is one of Milwaukee's few regulars who'll suit up, so he should handle a major role against Memphis. However, he's appeared in just one of the Bucks' past four games, so he may experience some rust. Before the recent injury, Rollins averaged 17.1 points, 6.4 assists, 4.7 rebounds and 1.6 steals in 31.7 minutes over 16 March appearances.

Bulls' Matas Buzelis: Ruled out for Sunday
Buzelis (illness) won't play Sunday versus the Suns, K.C. Johnson of Chicago Sports Network reports.
Buzelis is feeling under the weather and won't be able to give it a go Sunday, and for now, he should be considered questionable for Tuesday's matchup with the Wizards. With Buzelis out, there will be more minutes available for Leonard Miller, Patrick Williams and Collin Sexton.

Lachlan Olbrich C | CHI
Bulls' Lachlan Olbrich: Good to go Sunday
Olbrich (foot) has been cleared to play Sunday against the Suns, Will Gottlieb of AllCHGO.com reports.
Olbrich was initially added to the injury report as probable due to a foot issue, but it won't prevent him from taking the court Sunday. He's averaging 6.0 points, 4.5 rebounds and 1.0 assists in his last four outings, all off the bench. Given the Bulls' lengthy injury report, Olbrich should have a sizable spot in the rotation versus Phoenix.

Collin Sexton SG | CHI
Bulls' Collin Sexton: Getting green light Sunday
Sexton (finger) will play Sunday against Phoenix, Will Gottlieb of AllCHGO.com reports.
Sexton will be able to fight through a minor finger injury to suit for Sunday's tilt. He's been playing at a high level on the offensive end lately, averaging 21.0 points while converting at a clip of 52.2 percent from the field in his previous five appearances. With Josh Giddey (hamstring) sidelined, Sexton will slide back into the starting lineup and should retain increased usage.

Josh Giddey PG | CHI
Bulls' Josh Giddey: Won't play Sunday
Giddey (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Suns, K.C. Johnson of Chicago Sports Network reports.
Giddey tried to play through his hamstring injury Friday in New York, but he posted six points (3-12 FG), five rebounds and five assists in 26 minutes during a blowout loss and will be sidelined Sunday for the second time in three games. The point guard's status for the final week of the regular season remains unclear, but in his absence, Collin Sexton should retain increased usage.

Nikola Vucevic C | BOS
Celtics' Nikola Vucevic: Returning to action Sunday
Vucevic (finger) is available for Sunday's game against the Raptors.
As expected, Vucevic will be available for the first time since fracturing his right ring finger March 6. Given it wasn't a lower-body injury, the veteran's conditioning should be up to speed, but he figures to still play limited minutes behind Neemias Queta while Vucevic shakes off some rust. In 11 appearances before suffering the injury, Vucevic averaged 11.4 points, 7.8 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.3 stocks in 23.4 minutes per game.

With the Wizards' lengthy injury report, Jamir Watkins, Leaky Black and Julian Reese are candidates for increased roles.

Wizards' Tre Johnson: Out Sunday
Johnson (foot) has been ruled out 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 will miss the second half of Washington's back-to-back set. Given the lengthy injury report, Jaden Hardy, Jamir Watkins and Sharife Cooper are candidates for increased roles.

Wizards' Bilal Coulibaly: Won't play Sunday
Coulibaly (heel) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Nets.

His next chance to suit up will come Tuesday against the Bulls. Given the Wizards' lengthy injury report, Leaky Black and Jamir Watkins are candidates for increased roles.
