Washington (ankle) is probable for Tuesday's game against the Mavericks.

Washington was previously labeled as questionable, but he appears very likely to return from a three-game absence. Washington may face restrictions in his return, but the Mavericks don't really have the luxury of holding him back too much with so many injuries.

Thompson (hip) is doubtful for Tuesday's game against Charlotte.

Thompson was previously listed as questionable for this contest, but it appears that the team will err on the side of caution. Caleb Martin, who is probable with a back issue, could see extended minutes along with Khris Middleton on the wings.

Gilbert agreed to a two-way contract with the Hawks on Tuesday, Jake Fischer of BleacherReport.com reports.

Gilbert made his NBA debut back in February when he was signed to a 10-day deal with the Wizards, but he's now set to get some longer-term security after Atlanta brought him aboard to fill one of its three two-way slots. The undrafted rookie guard out of Iowa State has spent most of his time in the G League this season with the Capital City Go-Go, averaging 15.1 points, 5.8 assists, 4.4 rebounds and 1.5 steals in 28.4 minutes per game over 37 appearances. He'll be able to move between the NBA and G League on his two-way deal but is likely to continue seeing most of his minutes at the latter level with the Hawks' affiliate, the College Park Skyhawks.

Wiggins is probable for Tuesday's game against the Nets with bilateral knee tendinitis.

Wiggins was a very late addition to the injury report, but it sounds like he will push through the pain for this contest. The forward is averaging 17.4 points, 6.0 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 1.6 blocks and 2.8 three-pointers over his last five contests.

Oubre (illness) is out for Tuesday's game against the Spurs.

Oubre was a late addition to the injury report and will be held out for the front end of this back-to-back set. With this news, there could be more minutes available for Quentin Grimes and Jabari Walker on the wings.

Black (quadriceps) has been downgraded to questionable for Tuesday's game against the Wizards, with head coach Jamahl Mosley noting that Black is unlikely to play, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reports.

Black had been listed as probable heading into the day due to a right quad contusion, but the Magic are now likely to hold the 22-year-old guard out for the night after he was unable to go through morning shootaround. Unless Black's condition takes a dramatic turn for the better leading up to the 7 p.m. ET tipoff, the Magic are likely to rely more heavily on Jevon Carter and Tristan da Silva in his expected absence.

Detroit recalled Lanier from the G League's Motor City Cruise on Monday.

Lanier has 20 NBA appearances to his name this season for an average of 8.6 minutes per contest. With the Pistons at full strength, Lanier isn't expected to see playing time.

Detroit recalled Klintman from the G League's Motor City Cruise on Monday.

Klintman will be available as an emergency option off the bench Tuesday against Cleveland with this transaction.

Williams had 18 points (5-8 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 5-6 FT), two rebounds, two assists and one steal over 22 minutes during Monday's 114-101 loss to the Clippers.

The journeyman signed a two-way deal with the Warriors last month, and he impressed during his second game of action with the parent club. He's already made waves with the G League since his acquisition, and the Warriors are in desperate need of depth at his position. Although we shouldn't expect too much from Williams, his stat line was encouraging.

Podziemski recorded 22 points (9-18 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds and three assists in 37 minutes during Monday's 114-101 loss to the Clippers.

Podziemski posted a solid all-around line in the loss, but lackluster performances with the rest of the first unit weren't enough to turn the tide against the Clippers. He was one of only four Warriors to reach double digits in the contest, with only two other players scoring more than 10 points. Although Podziemski has been a great placeholder for Stephen Curry (knee), the team is in desperate need of more production.
