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.

T.J. McConnell PG | IND
Pacers' T.J. McConnell: Tagged out for Tuesday
McConnell (hamstring) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Timberwolves.
McConnell hasn't taken the court since March 29 while tending to a hamstring injury. His next chance to suit up will arrive Thursday in Brooklyn, though the team has yet to provide any indication that he's close to a return.

Sandro Mamukelashvili PF | TOR
Raptors' Sandro Mamukelashvili: Questionable to face Miami
Mamukelashvili (knee) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against Miami.
Mamukelashvili is in danger of missing his first game since Jan. 14 due to left knee soreness. With Collin Murray-Boyles (quadriceps) also questionable, the Raptors could be thin in the frontcourt, which would open the door for guys like Trayce Jackson-Davis, Jonathan Mogbo and Jamison Battle to see increased playing time.

Obi Toppin PF | IND
Pacers' Obi Toppin: Expected to play vs. Minnesota
Toppin is probable for Tuesday's game against the Timberwolves due to right foot injury management.
Toppin was also tagged as probable leading up to Sunday's game before eventually getting clearance to play, so this appears to be a similar situation heading into Tuesday's clash. Expect confirmation on his availability closer to tipoff.

Collin Murray-Boyles PF | TOR
Raptors' Collin Murray-Boyles: Questionable for Tuesday
Murray-Boyles (quadriceps) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Heat.
The right quadriceps contusion is a new concern for the rookie first-rounder, who has appeared in each of Toronto's last four games. With Sandro Mamukelashvili (knee) also questionable, the Raptors could be shorthanded in the frontcourt Tuesday. If Murray-Boyles or Mamukelashvili is ruled out, Trayce Jackson-Davis, Jonathan Mogbo and Jamison Battle would be candidates to see increased minutes.
