Dereck Lively II C | DAL
Mavericks' Dereck Lively: Iffy against New York
Lively (illness) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game versus the Knicks.
Lively left Dallas' most recent contest early due to an illness and could be forced to sit out Wednesday. If Lively is unable to suit up against New York, Daniel Gafford would likely draw the start.

Trey Murphy III SF | NO
Pelicans' Trey Murphy: Back on injury report
Murphy is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Raptors due to a left knee contusion.
After missing 10 straight games to start the season, Murphy has appeared in six of the last eight matchups, with his only absences coming during the second half of back-to-back sets. The sharpshooter appears to have found a groove over his past two appearances, totaling 48 points (18-36 FG, 7-20 3Pt), 10 rebounds, eight assists, two blocks and a steal in 78 minutes.

Klay Thompson SG | DAL
Mavericks' Klay Thompson: Questionable for Wednedsay
Thompson (foot) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game versus the Knicks.
Thompson is in danger of missing his second straight contest due to left foot plantar fasciitis. If Thompson is forced to sit out again, Naji Marshall will likely draw another start.

Brandon Ingram SF | NO
Pelicans' Brandon Ingram: Questionable for Wednesday
Ingram (calf) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Raptors.
Despite not playing Monday in Indiana and missing Tuesday's practice, Ingram still has a chance to play Wednesday. The veteran forward appeared in 15 straight games to start the season but has missed two of the past three matchups, so he may face some limitations if given the green light Wednesday.

Johnny Furphy SG | IND
Pacers' Johnny Furphy: Iffy against Portland
Furphy (ankle) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game versus the Trail Blazers.
Furphy is in danger of missing his second straight contest Wednesday due to a left ankle sprain. If he's ruled out yet again, Quenton Jackson, Tristen Newton and Jarace Walker are candidates to receive increased playing time.

Tobias Harris PF | DET
Pistons' Tobias Harris: Iffy for Wednesday
Harris is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Grizzlies due to a left hip impingement.
Harris is in danger of missing his first game of the season. With Cade Cunningham (hip) likely to miss a third straight game, the Pistons' depth could be seriously tested. If Harris is sidelined, Simone Fontecchio, Ron Holland and Isaiah Stewart would be candidates for increased roles.
-
Cade Cunningham SG | DET
Pistons' Cade Cunningham: Unlikely to play Wednesday
Cunningham (hip) is doubtful for Wednesday's game against Memphis.
Cunningham will likely miss a third straight game due to a hip injury. In his absence, Jaden Ivey has moved to point guard, allowing Malik Beasley to start at shooting guard. If Cunningham is indeed ruled out, his next chance to suit up would be Friday in Indiana.
-
Talen Horton-Tucker SG | CHI
Bulls' Talen Horton-Tucker: Good to go
Horton-Tucker (thumb) is available for Tuesday's game against the Wizards.
As expected, Horton-Tucker has been upgraded from probable to available. With Patrick Williams (foot) still out, Horton-Tucker should see minutes off the bench against Washington.
-
Nick Richards C | CHA
Hornets' Nick Richards: Another absence coming
Richards (ribs) won't play in Wednesday's game versus the Heat.
Richards will miss his 13th straight contest Wednesday due to a right rib fracture. However, Richards recently went through practice in the G League, and his next chance to suit up is Friday's matchup with the Knicks.
