George (illness) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Knicks.

George was able to play through an illness in Monday's 119-116 win over the Warriors, though he logged just 24 minutes and finished with 15 points (6-15 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and two rebounds. Isaiah Collier would likely enter the starting lineup if George is unable to play against New York.

Bailey (illness) isn't listed on the injury report for Wednesday's game against the Knicks.

Bailey missed Monday's win over the Warriors due to an illness but is set to return to action Wednesday. The rookie first-rounder's return will leave fewer minutes available for guys like Blake Hinson, John Konchar (calf) and Brice Sensabaugh.

Carrington will start Tuesday's game against the Heat.

With Trae Young (knee) sidelined, Carrington will return to the first unit Tuesday. As a starter this season (32 games), the second-year guard has averaged 11.6 points, 5.1 assists and 3.8 rebounds in 30.3 minutes per tilt.

Jakucionis is in the Heat's starting lineup against the Wizards on Tuesday, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.

Jakucionis will make his 10th start of the season (and first since Feb. 21) due to the absences of Tyler Herro (quadriceps) and Norman Powell (groin). In his last start against the Grizzlies on Feb. 21, Jakucionis finished with 12 points, five assists, three rebounds and two three-pointers over 23 minutes.

Wolf won't start Tuesday's game against the Pistons.

With Michael Porter resting Monday, Wolf posted 14 points (5-12 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-3 FT), nine rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal across 28 minutes during a 126-115 victory over the Grizzlies. However, the rookie slides back to a bench role with the Nets' leading scorer returning Tuesday. Nonetheless, with Day'Ron Sharpe (thumb) and Ziaire Williams (illness) sidelined, Wolf should still see a solid role as a reserve.

Marshall will start Tuesday's game against the Hawks.

After missing two straight games to begin March, Marshall came off the bench in three consecutive contests and handled a limited workload. However, he's back in the starting lineup Tuesday, sending Khris Middleton to a reserve role. As a starter this season, Marshall has averaged 17.8 points, 5.2 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 1.1 steals in 32.4 minutes per game.

Riley will start Tuesday's game against the Heat.

After coming off the bench in Washington's last two games, Riley will get the starting nod in Miami. As a starter this season (four games), the rookie first-rounder has averaged 16.8 points, 4.0 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.8 steals in 34.3 minutes per contest.

Middleton won't start Tuesday's game against the Hawks.

After 10 straight starts, Middleton is moving to the bench in favor of Naji Marshall. Even as a starter, Middleton averaged 6.5 points, 3.5 rebounds and 2.0 assists in only 21.5 minutes over his past two appearances.

Sims (knee) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Suns.

Sims is dealing with a right knee issue and won't suit up Tuesday. His next opportunity to play will come Thursday in Miami. With Bobby Portis (back) also sidelined, Pete Nance, Kyle Kuzma and Ousmane Dieng are candidates to see increased minutes Tuesday.

Allen (knee) is available for Tuesday's game against the Bucks.

Allen was a late addition to the injury report Sunday, and despite being listed as probable, he sat out during the win over Charlotte, which was surprising after he totaled 62 minutes during a back-to-back set earlier in the week. While Allen is cleared to play Tuesday, it's possible he sits out either Thursday in Indiana or Friday in Toronto as he continues to manage a knee issue.
