Plowden is probable for Tuesday's game against the Hornets with right foot soreness.

After sitting out Sunday's win over the Nets, Plowden looks to be ready to take the floor Tuesday. Over his last seven appearances, the two-way player has averaged a respectable 14.0 points, 3.6 rebounds, 1.3 steals and 1.1 assists in 31.0 minutes per contest.

Knueppel is listed as probable for Tuesday's game against Sacramento due to lower-back soreness.

Knueppel has been a steady presence for the Hornets in March, but he's evidently dealing with a minor back issue. He's expected to be able to play through the injury, barring any type of setback leading up to game time.

Achiuwa is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Hornets due to lower-back soreness.

Achiuwa hasn't missed a game since Feb. 4, but he's in danger of sitting Tuesday due to the back issue. The team should have more to share on his availability closer to tipoff.

The Hornets recalled McNeeley from the G League's Greensboro Swarm on Monday.

McNeeley will rejoin the Hornets ahead of their game against the Kings on Tuesday. However, the rookie first-rounder hasn't seen the floor for the parent club since Jan. 28 and isn't guaranteed to play Tuesday.

Krejci (calf) is out for Monday's game against the Nets.

A bruised left calf will cost Krejci a fifth straight contest Monday. With the swingman sidelined, the likes of Scoot Henderson, Kris Murray and Matisse Thybulle are each in position for added minutes.

Grant (foot) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Nets.

Grant will miss both halves of this back-to-back set due to left foot soreness, and his next opportunity to play will come Wednesday against Milwaukee. With the veteran forward sidelined, Sidy Cissoko, Matisse Thybulle and Kris Murray are candidates to see increased playing time.

Williams (knee) is out for Monday's game against the Nets.

The 28-year-old big man is sitting out the second half of Portland's back-to-back set. Yang Hansen was summoned from the G League's Rip City Remix earlier Monday and could enter the rotation behind Donovan Clingan versus Brooklyn. Sidy Cissoko is also a candidate to see increased playing time.

Clowney (wrist) won't play in Monday's game versus Portland, per C.J. Holmes of the New York Daily News.

Claxton (rest) is off the injury report for Monday's game against Portland, per C.J. Holmes of the New York Daily News.

After missing Sunday's loss to the Kings, Claxton is set to return to the court Monday. The rebuilding Nets are beginning to dial back Claxton's workload, with the big man averaging 7.2 points, 6.7 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 0.8 blocks in 21.2 minutes per tilt over his last six games.

Mann will be rested Monday against the Trail Blazers, C.J. Holmes of the New York Daily News reports.
