Isaiah Stewart PF | DET
Pistons' Isaiah Stewart: Officially out Monday
Stewart (calf) is out for Monday's game against the Magic.
Stewart was temporarily upgraded from out to doubtful earlier in the day Monday, but the team has now officially listed him as out, which will mark his 13th straight absence while on the mend from a left calf strain. The 24-year-old's next chance to take the court will come Wednesday against the Bucks.

Jarace Walker PF | IND
Pacers' Jarace Walker: Questionable against Timberwolves
Walker (back) is questionable for Tuesday's game against Minnesota.
Walker suffered a back contusion after taking a hard fall during the 114-113 loss to the Clippers on March 27. Unfortunately, the injury has caused him to miss Indiana's last four contests. If Walker remains out, Jalen Slawson might stay in the starting lineup, though Kobe Brown is also a candidate to get the starting nod.

Duncan Robinson SG | DET
Pistons' Duncan Robinson: Ruled out Monday
Robinson (hip) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Magic.
As expected after he was downgraded to doubtful, Robinson will miss Monday's contest due to a right hip strain. With the veteran swingman sidelined, Kevin Huerter and Javonte Green are candidates to see increased playing time.

Tobias Harris PF | DET
Pistons' Tobias Harris: Downgraded to out Monday
Harris (knee) is out for Monday's game against Orlando.
Harris was downgraded to doubtful earlier in the day Monday, and he's now been officially ruled out due to a bruised left knee and left hip injury management. Ronald Holland, Javonte Green and Kevin Huerter should be in the mix for more looks with Harris sidelined.

Cade Cunningham SG | DET
Pistons' Cade Cunningham: Won't play Monday
Cunningham (chest) is out for Monday's game against the Magic.
Cunningham was upgraded to doubtful ahead of Monday's clash, which appears to be a sign he's headed in the right direction, but he's not quite ready to return to the floor yet. His next opportunity to do so will arrive Wednesday against the Bucks. Coach J.B. Bickerstaff noted in his pregame press conference Monday that he's hopeful Cunningham will be able to participate in at least one regular-season game before the playoffs, per Coty M. Davis of The Detroit News, so even if he can't go Wednesday, he'll still have an opportunity to play Friday against Charlotte and Sunday against Indiana.

Ben Sheppard SG | IND
Pacers' Ben Sheppard: Iffy to face Minnesota
Sheppard (hip) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against Minnesota.
Sheppard is in danger of missing a second straight game due to a right hip sprain. If he joins Andrew Nembhard (back), Aaron Nesmith (neck) and Pascal Siakam (ankle) on the inactive list, Ethan Thompson, Kam Jones and Quenton Jackson would be candidates to see increased playing time.

Caleb Martin SF | DAL
Mavericks' Caleb Martin: Doubtful for Tuesday
Martin (heel) is listed as doubtful for Tuesday's game against the Clippers.
Martin is likely to miss an 11th straight game due to a right plantar fascia strain. If he's ultimately ruled out, his next chance to play would be Wednesday in Phoenix.

Lachlan Olbrich C | CHI
Bulls' Lachlan Olbrich: Probable versus Washington
Olbrich (foot) is listed as probable for Tuesday's game against Washington.
Olbrich is battling bilateral plantar fasciitis. However, it's not expected to keep him off the floor versus the Wizards. With Nick Richards (elbow) out again, Olbrich should continue to see additional minutes off the bench behind Guerschon Yabusele.
