Obi Toppin PF | IND
Pacers' Obi Toppin: Available Tuesday
Toppin (foot) is available for Tuesday's game against the Knicks.
Toppin will shed his questionable tag and be available for the first leg of this back-to-back. He hasn't cleared 16 minutes in any of his last eight games, limiting his fantasy appeal.

Aaron Nesmith SF | IND
Pacers' Aaron Nesmith: Good to go vs. New York
Nesmith (ankle) will play Tuesday against the Knicks.
Nesmith has been upgraded to available after initially being added to the injury report as questionable with an ankle injury. He's fresh off an impressive 32-point performance Sunday against Milwaukee, marking just the second time in 39 games this season that he's reached the 30-point threshold.

Pascal Siakam PF | IND
Pacers' Pascal Siakam: Out Tuesday
Siakam (knee) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Knicks.
Siakam will miss a fifth consecutive contest due to a right knee sprain. He can be considered highly questionable for Wednesday's game against the Trail Blazers until Indiana offers an update on his status. With the star forward sidelined, Kobe Brown, Jarace Walker and Jalen Slawson are candidates to see a bump in minutes.
-
Micah Potter PF | IND
Pacers' Micah Potter: Downgraded to out
Potter (triceps) is out for Tuesday's game against the Knicks.
Potter is out for the first time since the Feb. 3 loss to the Jazz due to a triceps injury. His absence Tuesday should free up a couple of extra minutes for Kobe Brown to pick up in the frontcourt.
-
Andrew Nembhard PG | IND
Pacers' Andrew Nembhard: Listed out Tuesday
Nembhard (calf) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against New York.
Nembhard is in line for a second straight absence as a result of a bruised right calf. T.J. McConnell drew the start in Nembhard's place Sunday and should be considered the favorite to do so again Tuesday.

Ousmane Dieng SF | MIL
Bucks' Ousmane Dieng: Cleared to suit up Tuesday
Dieng (illness) is available for Tuesday's game against Cleveland, per Eric Nehm of The Athletic.
Dieng has missed the last two games because of an illness. Fortunately, he'll return on a night when the Bucks will be without Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) and Myles Turner (calf). To make matters worse, Ryan Rollins (illness) remains questionable. Dieng has averaged 8.4 points, 4.0 rebounds, 3.3 assists, and 0.7 steals over seven March appearances. However, the 22-year-old could be more productive with Antetokounmpo, Turner and possibly Rollins sidelined.
-
Ivica Zubac C | IND
Pacers' Ivica Zubac: Good to go Tuesday
Zubac (ankle) has been cleared to play Tuesday against New York.
Zubac was added to the injury report as questionable due to a left ankle sprain, but he'll be good to go for Tuesday's clash. He's averaging 9.7 points, 7.0 rebounds and 1.7 assists in his first three games as a Pacer.

Wizards' Anthony Gill: Starting Tuesday
Gill will start Tuesday's game against Detroit.
With Alex Sarr (toe) and Julian Reese (two-way) unavailable, Gill will get the starting nod Tuesday. During his lone start this season in a loss to Charlotte on Feb. 22, the 33-year-old posted eight points, five rebounds, four assists and one steal in 31 minutes.
