Merrill (hamstring) is available for Tuesday's game against Milwaukee, Danny Cunningham of Sports Radio 92.3 The Fan Cleveland reports.

Merrill will make his return to the court after missing a pair of games with left hamstring soreness. He is expected to return to the starting five with Jarrett Allen (knee) remaining sidelined.

Highsmith (knee) is available for Tuesday's game against the Timberwolves.

Highsmith was initially listed as questionable due to right knee injury management, though he'll shake off that tag and suit up in the second leg of this back-to-back set. Over four appearances for the Suns, he has averaged 7.5 points, 2.8 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.0 steals in 18.0 minutes per contest.

Allen (knee) won't play Tuesday against the Timberwolves.

As expected, Allen will take a seat Tuesday night as the Suns aim to manage his left knee soreness. His next chance to take the court will arrive Thursday in San Antonio.

The Pacers have ruled out Thompson (two-way) for Tuesday's game against the Knicks.

Though he logged 38 minutes in a spot start in last Thursday's loss to the Suns, Thompson will now find himself on the inactive list for the third game in a row. After he signed a two-way contract with the Pacers on Nov. 30, Thompson is eligible to suit up for 39 games at the NBA level, and he's already been active on 30 occasions. As such, Thompson will be available to play in nine of the Pacers' remaining 13 contests after Tuesday.

The Pacers have ruled out Peter (two-way) for Tuesday's game against the Knicks.

Peter had averaged 14.0 minutes per game while appearing in three of the Pacers' previous four contests, but Indiana will hold him out Tuesday in an effort to manage his availability for the rest of the campaign. The two-way rookie out of Liberty has been active for 40 games this season and will be eligible to suit up for 10 of the Pacers' remaining 13 contests.

Rollins (illness) is available for Tuesday's game against Cleveland.

Rollins was a late addition to the injury report Tuesday due to an illness, though he will shed his questionable tag and suit up. Over nine March appearances (seven starts), the 23-year-old guard has averaged 14.3 points, 6.9 assists, 4.8 rebounds and 1.8 steals across 33.1 minutes per tilt.

McConnell (hamstring) is available for Tuesday's game versus New York.

McConnell has been battling right hamstring soreness. However, it won't be enough to keep him off the floor Tuesday. With Andrew Nembhard (calf) sidelined, McConnell may find himself starting once again. The 33-year-old got the start in Sunday's loss to Milwaukee, finishing with nine points, 11 assists, two rebounds and one steal in a season-high-tying 28 minutes.

Sheppard (ankle) will play Tuesday against New York.

Sheppard will make his return to the hardwood following a one-game absence caused by an ankle injury. He's been unable to make much of an impact of late, as he's been held to single digits in the scoring column in six of his last seven showings.

Jackson (calf) is available for Tuesday's game against the Knicks.

Jackson has been cleared to suit up for a second straight outing following a two-game absence due to a right calf injury. Over six March appearances, the 27-year-old guard has averaged 5.3 points, 3.0 assists and 2.3 rebounds in 17.7 minutes per contest.

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.
