PJ Washington PF | DAL
Mavericks' P.J. Washington: Doubtful to face Phoenix
Washington is listed as doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Suns due to a left elbow sprain.
Washington missed the front end of this back-to-back due to left elbow soreness, and he's one of six Mavericks players being listed as doubtful. If the 27-year-old forward is ultimately ruled out, Khris Middleton and Tyler Smith would be candidates to see increased playing time.

Timberwolves' Rudy Gobert: Ruled out Wednesday
Gobert (rest) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Magic, Jon Krawczynski of The Athletic reports.
The veteran center will sit out the second leg of this back-to-back set, joining Anthony Edwards (knee), Julius Randle (hand), Ayo Dosunmu (rest) and Mike Conley (rest) on the inactive list. With Gobert out, Naz Reid should take on an expanded role, while Joan Beringer will likely see a significant bump in minutes.

Mavericks' Caleb Martin: Doubtful to play Wednesday
Martin (heel) is doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Suns.
Martin didn't play in the first leg of the back-to-back set Tuesday against the Clippers, and the doubtful tag suggests the veteran forward could sit out Wednesday's game as well. Martin hasn't played since March 15, and it's uncertain whether he'll suit up for any of the final games of the Mavericks' season this week.

Cooper Flagg SF | DAL
Mavericks' Cooper Flagg: Probable to play Wednesday
Flagg is probable for Wednesday's game against the Suns due to a left wrist sprain.
Flagg will probably be a game-time call for this contest, but the probable tag suggests the star rookie should suit up and handle his regular workload. Flagg has been outstanding for Dallas recently, averaging 26.9 points, 6.8 rebounds, 4.9 assists, 1.8 steals and 1.3 blocks per game over his last 10 contests.

Daniel Gafford C | DAL
Mavericks' Daniel Gafford: Doubtful for Wednesday
Gafford (shoulder) is doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Suns.
Gafford is set to miss his second straight contest Wednesday. With Gafford expected to be sidelined, Dwight Powell, Marvin Bagley and Moussa Cisse are candidates to see increased run.

Chucky Hepburn PG | TOR
Raptors' Chucky Hepburn: Remains out for Thursday
Hepburn (knee) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Heat.
Hepburn is still recovering from right knee surgery he underwent Jan. 8 to repair a torn meniscus, and he remains without a clear timetable for a return. At this point, it appears unlikely the two-way player will return during the Raptors' final two regular-season games.

Patrick Williams PF | CHI
Bulls' Patrick Williams: Expected to play Thursday
Williams is probable for Thursday's game against the Wizards due to a left thumb sprain.
Williams is expected to suit up and handle steady minutes off the bench to bolster the Bulls' frontcourt. He's averaging 6.0 points per game over his last 10 outings, although he scored 20 points in a win over the Wizards on Tuesday.

Collin Sexton SG | CHI
Bulls' Collin Sexton: Probable for Thursday
Sexton is probable for Thursday's game against the Wizards due to a right finger injury.
The probable tag suggests Sexton will suit up Thursday despite not being 100 percent healthy. He's averaging 18.8 points, 3.9 rebounds and 2.9 assists per game over his last 10 appearances, and Thursday's matchup looks like a favorable one on paper against a lackluster Washington team.
