Queta (toe) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Knicks.

The toe sprain is a new concern for Queta, who has missed just two games since the All-Star break. If the big man is unable to suit up in the front end of this back-to-back, Nikola Vucevic and Luka Garza would be candidates to take on expanded roles.

Hauser is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Knicks due to low back spasms.

Hauser has been a key member of the Celtics' starting lineup because of his three-point shooting and floor spacing, so not having him would be a significant blow for Boston. Still, the questionable tag suggests a decision won't be made yet, and a final call on his status could be made closer to Wednesday's tipoff at 7:30 p.m. ET. If Hauser ends up being ruled out, Payton Pritchard and Baylor Scheierman could see increased burn.

Bassey (ankle) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Lakers.

Bassey is a new addition to the injury report with a left ankle sprain. With Kristaps Porzingis (illness) out, Bassey could see a sizable role if he's cleared to play.

White (knee) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Knicks.

White is dealing with a right knee contusion and may be held out of the front end of this back-to-back set. If the veteran guard isn't cleared to play, Payton Pritchard would likely step into the starting five, while Baylor Scheierman and Hugo Gonzalez would be candidates to see increased playing time.

Santos (pelvis) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Lakers.

After missing Tuesday's game against the Kings, Santos remains day-to-day with a right pelvic contusion. With Thursday being the front end of a back-to-back set, a maintenance day could be on the table for one of these contests.

Cryer (illness) is probable for Thursday's game against the Lakers.

Cryer appears likely to return from a two-game absence. The Warriors could be very thin for the front end of this back-to-back set, and Stephen Curry (knee) is questionable to play, which could open things up for Cryer.

Porzingis is listed out for Thursday's game against the Lakers due to general illness management.

After missing Tuesday's 110-105 win over the Kings due to a knee issue, Porzingis is now being held out of the first leg of a back-to-back set for illness management. His absence Thursday could open up elevated playing time once again for Charles Bassey (ankle), who is listed as questionable after logging 27 minutes Tuesday.

Brown is questionable for Thursday's game against the Knicks due to left Achilles tendinitis.

The Celtics are listing the majority of the starting lineup as questionable, but it wouldn't be surprising if Brown is cleared and given the green light to play in this rivalry matchup. Brown has been the best player for the Celtics this season and has delivered first-round value in fantasy, averaging 28.8 points, 7.0 rebounds, 5.2 assists and 1.0 steals per game in 70 regular-season starts.

Curry (knee) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Lakers.

A maintenance day is on the table for Curry for the first leg of this back-to-back set. Presumably, the Warriors will likely hold him out for one of these two contests to err on the side of caution.

Cain (calf) is available for Wednesday's game against the Timberwolves, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reports.

Cain exited Monday's win over the Pistons in the second quarter and did not return due to a left calf contusion. However, the 27-year-old forward will be back in action Wednesday. Over four appearances in April, he has averaged 9.0 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.8 assists in 21.8 minutes per tilt.
