Cole Anthony PG | PHO
Suns' Cole Anthony: Won't play Tuesday
Anthony (not with team) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Celtics.
Anthony has yet to suit up for the Suns since being acquired from the Bucks on Feb. 5. The guard's next opportunity to make his team debut will come Thursday against the Lakers, though there's currently no indication he will report to the team.

Grayson Allen SG | PHO
Suns' Grayson Allen: Game-time call vs. Celtics
Allen (ankle) is questionable for Tuesday's game against Boston, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.
Allen was shut down for Sunday's matchup due to right knee and ankle injury management, and his status is now up in the air for Tuesday's clash. Collin Gillespie and Isaiah Livers could see more usage if Allen remains sidelined.

De'Anthony Melton SG | GS
Warriors' De'Anthony Melton: Questionable with knee injury
Melton (knee) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Pelicans.
Coming off a 20-point performance in Sunday's win, Melton's status for Tuesday is in question due to a left knee injury. The guard has started each of the past six contests, averaging 14.5 points, 2.5 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 2.2 steals in 24.8 minutes per game during that stretch. Brandin Podziemski and Will Richard are candidates to enter the starting five and see increased minutes if Melton is ruled out.

Kyle Anderson SF | MIN
Grizzlies' Kyle Anderson: Won't play Monday
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.

Ty Jerome SG | MEM
Grizzlies' Ty Jerome: Officially out
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.

Draymond Green PF | GS
Warriors' Draymond Green: Iffy for Tuesday
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.

Jaylen Brown SF | BOS
Celtics' Jaylen Brown: Nursing bruised knee
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.

Ty Jerome SG | MEM
Grizzlies' Ty Jerome: Not expected to play Monday
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.

Devin Carter SG | SAC
Kings' Devin Carter: Out Monday
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.
