James Harden PG | CLE
Cavaliers' James Harden: Available for Wednesday
Harden (personal) is available for Wednesday's game against the Hawks.
As expected, Harden will return from a one-game absence. With Donovan Mitchell (ankle) still listed as questionable, Harden could see a usage rate spike against the Hawks.

Thomas Bryant C | CLE
Cavaliers' Thomas Bryant: Ruled out with calf strain
Bryant (calf) is out for Wednesday's game against the Hawks.
A left calf strain is keeping Bryant out for a second straight contest. If Jaylon Tyson (toe) and Dean Wade (ankle) both remain sidelined, Larry Nance would likely serve as the No. 2 center behind Jarrett Allen on Wednesday.

Max Strus SG | CLE
Cavaliers' Max Strus: Removed from injury report
Strus (foot) is available for Wednesday's game against Atlanta.
Strus sat out Monday's win over Memphis for maintenance purposes but is set to return Wednesday. The sharpshooter has started each of his last three appearances, and Strus has averaged 12.7 points, 6.0 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 3.3 three-pointers in 25.1 minutes per tilt through nine outings this season.

Marvin Bagley III C | DAL
Mavericks' Marvin Bagley: Upgraded to probable
Bagley (shoulder) is listed as probable for Tuesday's game against the Clippers.
With Bagley likely to play and Daniel Gafford (shoulder) doubtful, the former is in line for a big role at center Tuesday. Over 10 appearances as a starter for Washington and Dallas in 2025-26, Bagley has averaged 12.6 points, 7.8 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.2 blocks in 27.1 minutes per game.

Brandon Williams PG | DAL
Mavericks' Brandon Williams: Downgraded to doubtful
Williams (illness) is doubtful for Tuesday's game against the Clippers.
Williams was previously listed as questionable, but it appears he will miss the front end of this back-to-back set. His absence could open things up for Ryan Nembhard in the backcourt.
-
PJ Washington PF | DAL
Mavericks' P.J. Washington: Doubtful for Tuesday
Washington (elbow) is doubtful for Tuesday's game against the Clippers.
Washington was a late addition to the injury report with left elbow soreness, and it looks like the team will hold him out for the first leg of this back-to-back set. As a result, Khris Middleton could become more involved in the frontcourt.

JD Davison PG | HOU
Rockets' JD Davison: Lands two-year deal with Houston
The Rockets are signing Davison to a new two-year deal Tuesday, per Shams Charania of ESPN.
The move fills Houston's open roster spot ahead of the postseason. Davison spent most of his time with the G League's Rio Grande Valley Vipers as a two-way player this year, but he's now set to provide the parent club with emergency backcourt depth during the final week of the regular season as well as the playoffs.

Adama-Alpha Bal SG | MEM
Grizzlies' Adama Bal: Second 10-day deal with Memphis
The Grizzlies signed Bal to a second 10-day contract Tuesday.
With the Grizzlies hurting for healthy bodies during the final week of the season, Bal is back with Memphis to help soak up more playing time. Over six appearances, Bal has averaged 8.8 points, 2.8 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 1.0 steals and 2.2 three-pointers in 27.3 minutes per game while shooting 43.3 percent from beyond the arc.

Jaden Hardy SG | WAS
Wizards' Jaden Hardy: Added to injury report
Hardy (back) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Bulls.
Hardy is a late addition to the injury report with lower-back spasms. If the fourth-year guard is ultimately downgraded to out, more playing time would be available to Bub Carrington and Sharife Cooper in the backcourt.
