Kyle Filipowski PF | UTA
Jazz's Kyle Filipowski: Available versus Pelicans
Filipowski (back) is available for Tuesday's game against the Pelicans.
Filipowski was initially listed as questionable before being upgraded to probable. In two games against New Orleans this season, the 22-year-old has averaged 12.5 points, 6.0 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 0.5 blocks and 0.5 steals across 24.0 minutes of work. However, with the Jazz down several of their top scorers, Filipowski should receive more opportunities on the offensive end.

Immanuel Quickley PG | TOR
Raptors' Immanuel Quickley: Upgraded to probable
Quickley (foot) has been upgraded to probable for Tuesday's game against the Heat.
Quickley is trending toward suiting up Tuesday following an eight-game absence due to right foot plantar fasciitis. If the 26-year-old point guard is cleared to play, there would be fewer minutes available for the likes of Jamal Shead, Ja'Kobe Walter and A.J. Lawson.

Raptors' Sandro Mamukelashvili: Upgraded to probable
Mamukelashvili (knee) has been upgraded to probable for Tuesday's game against the Heat.
Mamukelashvili was initially listed as questionable for Tuesday's game, but now it appears likely that he'll be active. Check back for official confirmation on his status closer to tipoff.

Vit Krejci SF | POR
Trail Blazers' Vit Krejci: Doubtful for Wednesday
Krejci (calf) is listed as doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Spurs.
Krejci has missed the Trail Blazers' last 11 games. With another absence potentially on the horizon Wednesday, the 25-year-old will have two more chances to suit up before the Play-In Tournament commences. In 18 appearances with Portland this season, Krejci has averaged 7.4 points, 2.8 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 0.3 blocks and 0.6 steals across 19.9 minutes per contest.

Cam Spencer PG | MEM
Grizzlies' Cam Spencer: Ruled out for Wednesday
Spencer (back) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Nuggets.
Spencer continues to deal with lower-back soreness and will miss his third game this month. His next chance to play will come Friday in Utah. In the meantime, Lucas Williamson, Adama Bal and Rayan Rupert are candidates for increased playing time for the injury-riddled Grizzlies.

Gregory Jackson PF | MEM
Grizzlies' GG Jackson: Sitting out Wednesday
Jackson (knee) is out for Wednesday's game versus Denver.
Jackson continues to move in and out of the lineup due to nagging left knee soreness. With the forward sidelined Wednesday, fantasy managers should expect Taylor Hendricks, Toby Okani and Dariq Whitehead to each take on meaningful playing time in the frontcourt.
-
Taj Gibson PF | MEM
Grizzlies' Taj Gibson: Not listed on injury report
Gibson (foot) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Wednesday's meeting with the Nuggets.
Gibson is set to return from a one-game absence Wednesday, and he should play limited minutes off the bench. The veteran big man is averaging 3.5 points and 2.6 rebounds per game this season.
-
Jerami Grant PF | POR
Trail Blazers' Jerami Grant: Out versus Spurs
Grant (calf) is listed as out for Wednesday's game against San Antonio.
Grant will miss his fifth consecutive game Wednesday night. As a result, he will have two more chances to suit up before the start of the Play-In Tournament. With Grant out again, Scoot Henderson will presumably remain in the starting lineup.
-
Taylor Hendricks PF | MEM
Grizzlies' Taylor Hendricks: Not listed on injury report
Hendricks (thumb) isn't listed on the injury report for Wednesday's game against the Nuggets.
Hendricks sat out Monday's loss to the Cavaliers -- the second leg of a back-to-back -- due to a right thumb sprain. However, he's set to return to action Wednesday and should play a sizable role with Olivier-Maxence Prosper (ankle) doubtful and GG Jackson (knee) out.
-
Shaedon Sharpe SG | POR
Trail Blazers' Shaedon Sharpe: Doubtful for Wednesday
Sharpe (calf) is doubtful for Wednesday's game versus San Antonio.
Although Sharpe still isn't expected to play Wednesday, the doubtful tag is actually an upgrade on his status that suggests he's inching closer to returning from a long layoff with a left calf strain. Scoot Henderson and Matisse Thybulle should continue to play significant minutes for Portland against the Spurs.
