Highsmith (knee) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Nuggets.

Highsmith will miss a fourth consecutive contest due to right knee injury management, and his next opportunity to play will come Saturday against the Jazz. With the 29-year-old forward out, Ryan Dunn and Rasheer Fleming are candidates for increased minutes.

Brooks (hand) is out for Tuesday's game against Denver.

Brooks is continuing to battle back from a broken left hand, and while he recently got his cast off, he has more hurdles to clear before returning to game action. He can be considered doubtful for Saturday's game against the Jazz until further notice.

O'Neale (knee) is probable for Tuesday's game against Denver.

O'Neale has missed the previous three games due to left knee soreness but is on track to suit up Tuesday. The forward has been a fixture in Phoenix's starting lineup and is averaging 9.3 points, 4.5 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1.1 steals in 27.4 minutes per contest across his past 10 appearances.

Allen (knee) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Nuggets.

Allen will have an opportunity to return Tuesday after missing his team's last four matchups due to left knee injury management. Phoenix should have a better idea of his availability as tipoff approaches.

Martin (heel) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Warriors.

Martin will miss a fourth consecutive contest due to a right heel contusion. The veteran forward's next opportunity to play will come Wednesday in Denver. With Martin out, Khris Middleton and Klay Thompson are candidates for a slight bump in minutes.

Williams (concussion) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Warriors.

Williams will miss a third consecutive game as he remains in the league's concussion protocol. Ryan Nembhard figures to see his minutes tick up as a result, and Williams' next chance to return will come Wednesday against the Nuggets.

Moody (wrist), who is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Mavericks, is expected to play, Dalton Johnson of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Moody has missed Golden State's last 10 games due to a right wrist sprain, though he's seemingly trending in the right direction ahead of Monday's tipoff at 9:30 p.m. ET. If the 23-year-old swingman is cleared to suit up, there would be fewer minutes for guys like Will Richard and Gary Payton.

Murray-Boyles (thumb) is available for Monday's game against the Jazz, Michael Grange of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Murray-Boyles will shed his questionable tag and return from an 11-game absence due to a left thumb sprain. He's likely to split the center minutes with Sandro Mamukelashvili in the absence of Jakob Poeltl (back) on Monday.

Williams (shoulder) has been ruled out for Monday's game against Toronto.

Williams was downgraded from questionable to doubtful earlier Monday, so the fact that he's now been ruled out isn't much of a surprise. His next opportunity to play will arrive Wednesday against the Wizards.

Smith (calf) is not in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Rockets.

Smith will play despite previously being listed as questionable due to right calf injury management, but head coach Billy Donovan said that the big man will be limited to 22-to-24 minutes. Because of Smith's minute restriction, the Bulls will keep Nick Richards in the starting lineup at center. In 32 games as a reserve this season, Smith is averaging 9.0 points, 6.4 rebounds and 1.4 assists in 18.1 minutes per contest.
