Pistons' Cade Cunningham: Doubtful for Monday
Cunningham (chest) is doubtful for Monday's game against the Magic.
The doubtful tag can be viewed as an upgrade for Cunningham. On April 2, the Pistons announced he would be re-evaluated in one week, so he's due for another update shortly. However, Cunningham's return timetable remains murky until that happens.

Andre Jackson Jr. SF | TOR
Bucks' Andre Jackson: Left out of rotation
Jackson (coach's decision) went unused off the bench Sunday in the Bucks' 131-115 win over the Grizzlies.
The return of starting point guard Ryan Rollins (hip) from a two-game absence was enough to bump Jackson out of the rotation. The third-year wing had appeared in each of the Bucks' prior seven games, averaging 7.1 points, 3.0 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 1.3 three-pointers and 1.1 steals in 17.4 minutes while shooting 45 percent from the field.

Magic's Jonathan Isaac: Sitting out Monday
Isaac (knee) is out for Monday's game against Detroit.
Isaac remains without a timetable to return. Consider him doubtful for Wednesday against the Timberwolves.

Taj Gibson PF | NO
Grizzlies' Taj Gibson: Grabs six boards in return
Gibson (foot) tallied zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt), six rebounds and one assist across seven minutes Sunday in the Grizzlies' 131-115 loss to the Bucks.
The veteran big man had missed the Grizzlies' previous four games due to right foot injury management but was able to reclaim a small role in the rotation Sunday. With the Grizzlies in the midst of a back-to-back set, Gibson could be a candidate to rest in Monday's game against the Cavaliers.

Dillon Brooks SF | PHO
Suns' Dillon Brooks: Will play Tuesday
Brooks will play Tuesday against the Rockets after a technical foul was rescinded.
Brooks was assessed his 18th technical foul of the season Sunday, triggering an automatic one-game suspension. However, upon an NBA review, Brooks was later cleared of the foul. Look for him to be in the lineup Tuesday.

Anthony Black SG | ORL
Magic's Anthony Black: Another absence coming
Black (abdomen) is out for Monday's game against the Pistons.
Black will be sidelined for a 17th straight contest and remains without a timetable to return. His next chance to play is Wednesday against Minnesota.

Franz Wagner SF | ORL
Magic's Franz Wagner: Resting Monday
Wagner has been ruled out for Monday against the Pistons due to left high-ankle sprain injury management.
As expected, Wagner will miss the second leg of the Magic's back-to-back set for rest purposes after he logged 20 minutes and recorded 11 points, five rebounds, two assists and one block in Sunday's 112-108 win over the Pelicans. With Wagner sitting out, Tristan da Silva is the most likely candidate to take his spot in the starting five Monday.

Rasheer Fleming PF | PHO
Suns' Rasheer Fleming: Falls out of rotation
Fleming (coach's decision) went unused off the bench Sunday in the Suns' 120-110 win over the Bulls.
With head coach Jordan Ott electing to reduce his rotation to nine men Sunday, Fleming ended up being the odd man out. The rookie second-round pick had appeared in each of the Suns' previous 20 games, averaging 6.8 points, 3.6 rebounds and 1.4 three-pointers in 18.9 minutes while shooting 45.4 percent from the field. He'll likely find playing time difficult to come by moving forward now that Phoenix is at close to full strength.

Heat's Norman Powell: Practices Monday
Powell (illness) was able to practice Monday, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.
Powell is trending in the right direction after missing the past four games for Miami. A return against the Raptors on Tuesday appears to be on the table.
