Onyeka Okongwu C | ATL
Hawks' Onyeka Okongwu: Modest line in loss
Okongwu finished Monday's 108-105 loss to the Knicks with 12 points (4-13 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, one assist and one block over 37 minutes.
This was a modest line by Okongwu's standards in what has been a terrific campaign for the center. Across 72 appearances, he holds averages of 15.3 points, 7.7 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 1.1 steals, 1.1 blocks and 2.0 three-pointers.

Nae'Qwan Tomlin PF | CLE
Cavaliers' Nae'Qwan Tomlin: Handles extra minutes Monday
Tomlin ended with 10 points (4-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), nine rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 22 minutes during Monday's 142-126 victory over the Grizzlies.
Tomlin saw a boost in playing time during Monday's rout, as he reached the 20-minute marker for just the second time since early February. The forward was left out of the rotation entirely during Thursday's win over the Warriors, so he doesn't appear to have a stable role.

Tyrese Proctor PG | CLE
Cavaliers' Tyrese Proctor: Chips in 10 points off bench
Proctor registered 10 points (2-8 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 5-6 FT), two rebounds, one assist and three steals over 22 minutes during Monday's 142-126 win over the Grizzlies.
Proctor saw his largest workload since returning from a quadriceps strain in March, though that likely had more to do with the lopsided score Monday. The guard has averaged 5.7 points, 1.5 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 1.0 steals in 10.4 minutes per tilt in his last six games.

Coby White PG | CHA
Hornets' Coby White: Downgraded to questionable
White (groin) is questionable for Tuesday's game against Boston.
It's unclear if White suffered a setback during Tuesday's morning shootaround, as he was initially deemed probable to play with left groin soreness. If the combo guard cannot suit up, Sion James and Josh Green should help pick up the slack in the backcourt.

Patrick Williams PF | CHI
Bulls' Patrick Williams: Probable for Tuesday
Williams (thumb) is probable for Tuesday's game against the Wizards.
Williams was a late addition to the injury report with a left thumb sprain, but he intends to play through it. He's been ice cold lately, shooting 27.1 percent from the field over his last eight games.

Ace Bailey SG | UTA
Jazz's Ace Bailey: Unlikely to play Tuesday
Bailey (knee) is doubtful for Tuesday's game against the Pelicans.
Bailey is now unlikely to play Tuesday after initially being listed as questionable. The rookie has appeared in 11 straight games, averaging 20.2 points, 5.0 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1.5 blocks in 31.9 minutes per tilt over that span. With Utah's injury list a mile long, John Konchar, Bez Mbeng and Svi Mykhailiuk are candidates for increased roles.

Kyle Filipowski PF | UTA
Jazz's Kyle Filipowski: Probable for Tuesday
Filipowski (back) is probable for Tuesday's game against the Pelicans.
Filipowski was previously listed as questionable, but it appears he will give it a go. With the Jazz thin up front, Filipowski may play a featured role. Over his past six appearances, Filipowski has averaged 22.2 points, 10.0 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 1.0 steals in 29.5 minutes.

Karlo Matkovic PF | NO
Pelicans' Karlo Matkovic: Won't play Tuesday
Matkovic (back) is out for Tuesday's game against the Jazz.
Matkovic will sit out for a fourth straight game despite drawing a questionable tag previously. Consider him questionable for Friday's game against Boston.
