Anderson (knee) has been ruled out for Monday's game against Sacramento.

Anderson missed Saturday's contest and had been listed as doubtful due to right knee soreness, so his absence doesn't come as much of a surprise. With the veteran forward inactive, Taylor Hendricks is likely to draw the start at center, while Olivier-Maxence Prosper and GG Jackson could see increased minutes off the bench. Anderson's next chance to play will come Wednesday against Golden State.

Jerome (illness) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Kings.

It was reported shortly before tipoff that Jerome wasn't expected to play Monday due to an illness, and the Grizzlies have since announced that he's been downgraded to out. Scotty Pippen and Cam Spencer are candidates to start in Jerome's place.

Green (back) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Pelicans.

Green was a late scratch from Sunday's contest due to a lower-back injury, leaving his status for Tuesday up in the air. Over his past five appearances, the 35-year-old is averaging 9.0 points, 5.4 rebounds and 4.0 assists while shooting 37.5 percent from the field and 32.1 percent from beyond the arc. With Kristaps Porzingis (illness) already ruled out, Al Horford (toe) would likely draw the start if Green is unavailable, with Quinten Post providing reinforcement at center.

Brown is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Suns due to a right knee contusion, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.

Brown didn't show any signs of the injury impacting his play Sunday, as he cruised to a 32-point day in a win over the Lakers. However, he's in jeopardy of sitting Tuesday after being added to the injury report. Brown will presumably test the knee during shootaround and in pre-game warmups to see if he's able to run the floor in Phoenix.

Jerome is unlikely to play Monday against the Kings, Damichael Cole of The Memphis Commercial Appeal reports.

Jerome remains listed as questionable due to an illness, but all signs point to him being held out. This would open up more opportunities for Scotty Pippen and Cam Spencer. The Grizzlies should have an official ruling on Jerome's availability shortly before tipoff.

Carter (back) is out for Monday's game against Memphis.

After being a late addition to the injury report with lower-back soreness, Carter is now downgraded to out. The Kings could opt for a hot-hand approach between Malik Monk and Russell Westbrook on Monday, with Nique Clifford also having a clearer path to minutes.

McNeeley (ankle) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Bulls.

McNeeley, who hasn't appeared in an NBA game since Jan. 28, will remain sidelined while managing a left ankle sprain. His next opportunity to return comes Thursday against the Pacers, though his inconsistent role in the Hornets' rotation means playing time isn't guaranteed even once healthy.

Kalkbrenner is probable for Tuesday's game against the Bulls with a sprained left ankle.

The rookie big man picked up the issue in Sunday's game against the Wizards, but it appears to be of minimal concern. Moussa Diabate is set to return from suspension Tuesday, which is likely to send Kalkbrenner to the bench. Kalkbrenner has started four straight games, averaging 8.8 points, 8.0 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.8 blocks in 26.3 minutes per tilt.

White (calf) is probable for Tuesday's game against the Bulls.

White is on the verge of his Charlotte debut after missing time with a left calf strain. If all goes according to plan, he should be available off the bench for Tuesday's clash. Expect an update on White's availability from the team closer to tipoff.

Robinson (ankle) is available for Tuesday's game against the Cavaliers.

Robinson received a rest day Sunday as the team finished off the second half of a back-to-back. He'll be available off the bench in his usual capacity Tuesday. Robinson is averaging 6.6 points and 5.6 rebounds in 17.4 minutes per game over his previous five outings.
