Isaiah Hartenstein C | OKC
Thunder's Isaiah Hartenstein: Off injury report
Hartenstein (calf) isn't listed on the injury report for Thursday's game against the Lakers.
Hartenstein sat out Monday's overtime win over Detroit -- the second half of a back-to-back set -- due to soleus injury management. However, he's set to return to action Thursday. Over his last five outings, the big man has averaged 7.4 points, 13.2 rebounds, 4.2 assists and 1.8 steals in 23.4 minutes per contest.

Andrew Wiggins SF | MIA
Heat's Andrew Wiggins: Available versus Boston
Wiggins (toe) is available for Wednesday's game against the Celtics.
Wiggins carried a questionable designation before being upgraded to probable. However, he officially has the green light to play, meaning he will suit up for his sixth consecutive contest. In two meetings with the Celtics this season, the 31-year-old has averaged 21.0 points, 7.0 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.0 steals while shooting 57.7 percent from the field and 61.5 percent from deep across 36.5 minutes per outing.

Jock Landale C | ATL
Hawks' Jock Landale: Cleared to play Wednesday
Landale (illness) is available for Wednesday's game versus Orlando.
Landale didn't play in Monday's 112-102 win over Boston. He was questionable heading into Wednesday's contest, though he has now been cleared to suit up. With Landale back in the lineup, Mouhamed Gueye likely won't see much action.

PJ Hall C | CHA
Hornets' PJ Hall: Out Thursday with ankle injury
Hall has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Suns due to a sore right ankle.
The big man rejoined the Hornets after he presumably sustained the injury Tuesday, when he logged 18 minutes in the G League Greensboro Swarm's 112-90 win over the Maine Celtics in the first round of the G League playoffs. The severity of the injury isn't known, but the Hornets' decision to recall him from the G League suggests that he won't be available for the Swarm's next game Friday.

Amir Coffey SF | PHO
Suns' Amir Coffey: Won't play Thursday
Coffey (ankle) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Hornets.
Coffey will miss a seventh consecutive contest due to a left ankle sprain, though his absence shouldn't cause any significant waves in the rotation. His next chance to play will come Sunday in Chicago.

Marcus Sasser PG | DET
Pistons' Marcus Sasser: Questionable against Timberwolves
Sasser (hip) is questionable for Thursday's game against Minnesota.
Sasser carried a questionable tag heading into Tuesday's 127-116 win over the Raptors. While he was cleared to suit up for that contest, he would go on to re-aggravate his hip injury and was subsequently ruled out after only eight minutes of work. If Sasser can't play Thursday against Minnesota, Caris LeVert would likely see more action off the bench.

Haywood Highsmith SF | PHO
Suns' Haywood Highsmith: Ruled out for Thursday
Highsmith (knee) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Hornets.
Highsmith will miss an eighth consecutive contest due to right knee injury management and is without a clear timetable for a return to game action. For now, he can be considered highly questionable for Sunday's game in Chicago.

Jordan Goodwin SG | PHO
Suns' Jordan Goodwin: Not listed on injury report
Goodwin (hip) isn't listed on the injury report for Thursday's game against the Hornets.
Goodwin was sent for further evaluation after appearing to suffer a hip injury in Tuesday's loss to the Magic, though he's set to play Thursday. The 27-year-old guard has come off the bench in four straight games, during which he has averaged 8.3 points, 6.5 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 3.0 steals across 26.5 minutes per contest.

Mark Williams C | PHO
Suns' Mark Williams: Could return Thursday
Williams (foot) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Hornets, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.
Williams has been progressing in his recovery from a stress reaction in the third metatarsal of his left foot. It's an injury that has prevented him from playing since March 3, but he was recently cleared for 5-on-5 at practice, and the fact that he's earned the questionable tag for Thursday's game -- rather than being ruled out immediately -- is a good sign for the fourth-year center. Should Williams return, Oso Ighodaro would likely see his role decrease in the Suns' rotation, though the former will likely operate under a minutes restriction once he's cleared to play.

Patrick Baldwin Jr. SF | SAC
Kings' Patrick Baldwin: Not available Wednesday
The Kings list Baldwin (two-way) as out for Wednesday's game in Toronto.
With Baldwin joining the G League club for Wednesday's playoff game against the Iowa Wolves, the Kings will have just 10 players available for their matchup with the Raptors. The two-way player will be eligible to play in each of Sacramento's final five games of the season after Wednesday, but it's unclear if he'll be featured in the rotation for all of those contests. He's made six appearances for Sacramento thus far, averaging 3.8 points and 3.5 rebounds in 14.8 minutes per game.
