Vukcevic (hand) will play Tuesday against the Hawks.

Vukcevic will return from a one-game absence Tuesday, and that is likely to push Anthony Gill to the bench. Over his last five games, Vukcevic has averaged 13.6 points, 4.6 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.6 steals and 0.8 blocks in 17.8 minutes per contest. He should continue to start as long as Alex Sarr (hamstring) and Anthony Davis (finger) are sidelined, which will at least be for a few more weeks.

Champagnie (knee) is available for Tuesday's game against Atlanta.

Champagnie will shake off a questionable tag to appear in this contest. He's had a minor role recently, averaging 17.4 minutes across his last two appearances.

Mitchell (illness) is probable for Tuesday's game against the Bucks.

Mitchell was previously listed as questionable, but it appears likely that he will return from a one-game absence. With this news, the Heat won't have to rely on Kasparas Jakucionis and Dru Smith as much.

Jovic (back) will not play Tuesday against the Bucks.

No surprise here, as Jovic was previously considered doubtful. With Jovic out for a second straight game, Pelle Larsson could see a small uptick in minutes.

Jones (back) is probable for Tuesday's game against the 76ers.

Jones was previously considered questionable. With the Pacers very shorthanded, Jones is likely to see a considerable workload Tuesday.

Goodwin (calf) will be re-evaluated in 1-to-2 weeks, according to Suns reporter Mark McClune on Tuesday.

It was reported Monday that Goodwin had no timetable for a return, so this does not mean a return is imminent. The Suns have been devastated by injuries, and Dillon Brooks (hand) is slated to miss multiple weeks as well. In the meantime, guys like Jamaree Bouyea and Amir Coffey could become more involved.

Sheppard posted 15 points (5-9 FG, 5-9 3Pt), three rebounds, four assists and one steal across 24 minutes off the bench during Monday's 125-105 victory over Utah.

It was another big night from downtown for the No. 3 pick in the 2024 NBA Draft. Sheppard has sunk at least one three-pointer in all nine of Houston's games in February and drained four or more in three of the last five, averaging 12.7 points, 3.2 assists, 2.9 boards, 2.6 threes and 1.4 steals in 24.7 minutes a contest

Sengun posted 16 points (7-12 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds, nine assists, two blocks and one steal across 36 minutes during Monday's 125-105 win over the Jazz.

The fifth-year center fell just short of his third triple-double of the season, and the 11th of his career. Sengun has seen his offense taper off a bit in February as the Rockets struggle to find enough shots for everyone, but through nine games this month, he's still averaging 17.7 points, 8.8 boards, 6.3 assists, 1.6 blocks and 1.0 steals.

Durant recorded 18 points (7-13 FG, 4-6 3Pt), five rebounds, 12 assists, one block and one steal across 34 minutes during Monday's 125-105 victory over Utah.

The double-double was his sixth of the season, and the 12 assists were a season high for Durant. The future Hall of Famer has delivered his usual well-rounded production in February, averaging 24.5 points, 5.3 boards, 4.3 assists, 2.6 threes, 1.5 steals and 0.9 blocks in eight games on the month.

Eason supplied 11 points (5-12 FG, 1-5 3Pt), 10 rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal across 32 minutes during Monday's 125-105 victory over Utah.

The fourth-year wing produced his second straight double-double and his fourth of the season, all of which have come since the calendar flipped to 2026. Through eight games in February, Eason is averaging 11.4 points, 6.8 boards, 1.9 threes, 1.8 assists and 1.0 steals, but he continues to struggle on offense, shooting just 39.1 percent from the floor and 32.6 percent from long distance.
