Norman Powell SG | MIA
Heat's Norman Powell: Questionable versus Spurs
Powell (calf) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against San Antonio.
Powell wasn't available for Saturday's loss to the Rockets. Fortunately, Jaime Jaquez (hip) and Andrew Wiggins (toe) are both listed as probable. If Powell can't get on the floor Monday, then Pelle Larsson may remain in the starting lineup, though that could change if one or both of Wiggins and Jaquez are officially cleared to play.

Heat's Andrew Wiggins: Trending toward Monday return
Wiggins (toe) is listed as probable for Monday's game against the Spurs.
Wiggins has missed the Heat's last eight games due to left big toe inflammation. The probable tag indicates that Wiggins will be available for Monday's game, though he would likely operate under a minutes restriction if cleared to play. His return would mean less minutes for Simone Fontecchio, Pelle Larsson and Myron Gardner.

Marcus Sasser PG | DET
Pistons' Marcus Sasser: Ruled out for Monday
Sasser (hip) is out for Monday's matchup with the Lakers.
This will be Sasser's second straight game on the sidelines, and with Wednesday's game versus the Hawks being the first of a back-to-back set, it wouldn't be surprising to see Sasser spend at least one more game beyond Monday sidelined. Caris LeVert and Kevin Huerter will have a chance for some extra minutes with Sasser unavailable.

Royce O'Neale PF | PHO
Suns' Royce O'Neale: Questionable Sunday
O'Neale (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game against Toronto.
O'Neale missed the last two contests because of left knee soreness. If he's out again, Jordan Goodwin, who posted 11 points, seven rebounds, four assists and one steal in Saturday's loss to Milwaukee, is expected to remain in the starting lineup.

Kevin Huerter SG | DET
Pistons' Kevin Huerter: Not listed on injury report
Huerter (shoulder) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Monday's game against the Lakers.
Huerter will be back in action Monday following a one-game stint on the sidelines, and he should be a bit more involved in the rotation with Cade Cunningham (lung) and Marcus Sasser (hip) out. Huerter can be viewed as a low-end streamer in deep leagues if you need some triples, dimes and steals.

Amir Coffey SF | PHO
Suns' Amir Coffey: Not playing Sunday
Coffey (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Toronto.
Coffey will end up missing a second consecutive game after spraining his left ankle against the Spurs on Thursday, and his next chance to play is Tuesday against the Nuggets. While he hasn't played as much in March as he had in February, his absence means Jamaree Bouyea and Isaiah Livers will have elevated roles off the bench.
-
Haywood Highsmith SF | PHO
Suns' Haywood Highsmith: Out again Sunday
Highsmith (knee) remains out for Sunday's game versus the Raptors.
Highsmith will be sidelined for a third straight game due to right knee injury maintenance. With the Suns also holding out Grayson Allen (knee) and Amir Coffey (knee), Ryan Dunn should be able to maintain a spot in the rotation, and Jordan Goodwin could be tasked with handling an elevated role once again.
-
Grayson Allen SG | PHO
Suns' Grayson Allen: Out for Sunday
Allen (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game versus the Raptors.
Allen will be in street clothes for a fourth consecutive game due to left knee injury management, leaving the Suns thin on the wing and at forward with Dillon Brooks (hand), Amir Coffey (ankle) and Haywood Highsmith (knee) also sidelined. Royce O'Neale (knee), meanwhile, is listed as questionable, and his potential return could cut into the minutes of Jordan Goodwin, Ryan Dunn, Jamaree Bouyea and Rasheer Fleming.

Jalen Smith PF | CHI
Bulls' Jalen Smith: Questionable for Monday
Smith (calf) is questionable for Monday's game against the Rockets.
With Guerschon Yabusele (ankle) doubtful, the Bulls need Smith on the floor. However, if Smith and Yabusele are both ruled out, Nick Richards will presumably remain in the starting lineup. Richards got the start in Thursday's loss to Cleveland, finishing with 16 points and eight rebounds in 29 minutes.

Jaden Ivey SG | CHI
Bulls' Jaden Ivey: Questionable for Monday
Ivey (knee) is questionable to play Monday against the Rockets.
This is the first time that Ivey has received the questionable tag since going down with a left knee issue in mid-February, indicating he's on the cusp of making his return. Ivey will likely have some strict limit on his minutes once he's cleared to play, but his return would mean less playing time available for the likes of Rob Dillingham and Collin Sexton.
