  • Kings' Russell Westbrook: Ruled out for Tuesday

    Westbrook (toe) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Warriors.

    Westbrook hasn't played since March 19 due to a right toe injury and is without a timetable for a return. He'll have just two more chances to suit up this season after Tuesday, with his next chance to play coming in Friday's rematch with Golden State.

  • Jalen Williams SF | OKC

    Thunder's Jalen Williams: Won't play vs. Lakers

    Williams (hamstring) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Lakers.

    Williams will sit out the front end of this back-to-back set due to right hamstring injury management, and his next chance to play will come Wednesday against the Clippers. With the star forward sidelined, Cason Wallace and Ajay Mitchell are candidates to step into the starting five, while Alex Caruso and Aaron Wiggins could see increased playing time.

  • Bruce Brown SG | DEN

    Nuggets' Bruce Brown: Cleared to play Monday

    Brown (ankle) will play Monday night against Portland.

    Brown was added to the injury report as probable due to a left ankle issue, but it won't keep him from taking the court Monday evening. He's averaging 8.8 points, 2.2 rebounds and 1.4 steals in his last five outings.

  • Zeke Nnaji PF | DEN

    Nuggets' Zeke Nnaji: Good to go Monday

    Nnaji (hamstring) is available for Monday's game against the Trail Blazers.

    Nnaji was able to prove his health leading up to Monday's matchup and will be available off the bench if needed. He hasn't been a consistent part of the rotation of late, as he's averaging 1.3 rebounds in 6.3 minutes over his last four appearances.

  • LeBron James SF | LAL

    Lakers' LeBron James: Questionable versus Thunder

    James (foot) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against Oklahoma City.

    James had 30 points, nine rebounds, 15 assists and one steal across 39 minutes in Sunday's 134-128 loss to Dallas. However, with only four games remaining on the regular-season schedule for the Lakers, it's possible the multi-time All-Star will miss at least one of them in preparation for the postseason. If James doesn't suit up against Oklahoma City, Jarred Vanderbilt may slide into the starting lineup.

  • Marcus Smart PG | LAL

    Lakers' Marcus Smart: Ruled out for Tuesday

    Smart (ankle) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Thunder.

    Smart will miss an eighth consecutive contest due to a right ankle contusion. The veteran guard was recently cleared to participate in on-court work, and his next opportunity to return to game action will come Thursday against Golden State.

  • Grizzlies' Lucas Williamson: Draws first career start Monday

    Williamson will start Monday's game against the Cavaliers.

    Williamson will get the starting nod for the first time in his young career with the shorthanded Grizzlies. Over three appearances this season, the 27-year-old guard has averaged 4.0 points, 2.7 rebounds and 2.3 assists in 21.3 minutes per contest.

  • Toby Okani SF | MEM

    Grizzlies' Toby Okani: Retreating to bench

    Okani isn't in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Cavaliers.

    Okani was given an opportunity to show what he can do Sunday against the Bucks, as he logged 41 minutes in his second appearance on the year for Memphis. He'll shift back to the bench Monday with GG Jackson set to return from a knee issue.

  • Rayan Rupert SG | MEM

    Grizzlies' Rayan Rupert: Unavailable Monday

    Rupert (two-way) is listed out for Monday's game against the Cavaliers.

    Though Rupert turned in a career-best performance in Sunday's loss to the Bucks with a triple-double (33 points, 10 rebounds, 10 assists) to go with four steals and one block in 39 minutes, the Grizzlies will hold him out for the second leg of their back-to-back set in an effort to manage his availability. After Monday's contest, Rupert will be eligible to play in two of the Grizzlies' remaining three games while he's signed to a two-way deal.

  • 76ers' Andre Drummond: Not starting vs. San Antonio

    Drummond won't start Monday's game against the Spurs.

    With Joel Embiid (oblique) back in the lineup, Drummond will slide to the second unit. The veteran big man has averaged 3.2 points and 4.6 rebounds across 12.4 minutes per game in his last five appearances off the bench.
