Suns' Jamaree Bouyea: Not starting Tuesday
Bouyea won't start Tuesday's Play-In Tournament game against the Trail Blazers, Hayden Cilley of ClutchPoints.com reports.
Bouyea got the starting nod in Sunday's regular-season finale, though he'll slide to the second unit Tuesday. With the Suns almost at full strength, the 26-year-old isn't guaranteed to see meaningful burn.

Heat's Bam Adebayo: Won't return Tuesday
Adebayo (back) won't return to Tuesday's Play-In Tournament game against the Hornets. He'll finish with six points (3-3 FG), three rebounds, one assist and one steal across 11 minutes.
This is a huge loss for the Heat, as Adebayo is one of Miami's go-to options on offense while also operating as the anchor on the defensive end. Without Adebayo, look for Kel'el Ware to continue handling a bigger role in the frontcourt for Miami.

Grayson Allen SG | PHO
Suns' Grayson Allen: Ruled out Tuesday
Allen (hamstring) has been ruled out for Tuesday's Play-In Tournament game against the Trail Blazers.
Allen will miss a second straight outing due to left hamstring soreness. With the veteran wing sidelined, Collin Gillespie, Jordan Goodwin and Ryan Dunn are all candidates to see increased playing time.

Jerami Grant PF | POR
Trail Blazers' Jerami Grant: Good to go Tuesday
Grant (calf) is available for Tuesday's Play-In Tournament game against the Suns, Kellan Olson of ArizonaSports.com reports.
Grant will shed his questionable tag and return from a seven-game stint on the sidelines due to a right calf strain to close out the regular season. The veteran forward's return will leave fewer minutes available for reserve players such as Kris Murray and Matisse Thybulle.

Heat's Bam Adebayo: Questionable to return
Adebayo is questionable to return to Tuesday's Play-In Tournament game against the Hornets due to a lower-back injury.
Adebayo took a hard fall early in the second quarter and is in jeopardy of missing the remainder of the contest. Kel'el Ware should help pick up the slack while Adebayo is on the sideline.

Warriors' Quinten Post: Won't play Wednesday
Post (foot) has been ruled out for Wednesday's Play-In Tournament game against the Clippers.
Post will miss an eighth consecutive contest due to a right foot injury. However, his absence shouldn't affect the rotation with Kristaps Porzingis, Al Horford and Draymond Green all healthy.
