Tobias Harris PF | DET
Pistons' Tobias Harris: Questionable for Monday
Harris (knee) is questionable for Monday's game in Orlando.
Harris played through the knee issue Saturday and looked good across 27 minutes, but he'll likely again need to test his knee at shootaround before an official decision is made on his status. If Harris can't give it a go, that would open up minutes for Ronald Holland and Caris LeVert.

L.J. Cryer PG | GS
Warriors' LJ Cryer: Won't play Sunday
Cryer has been ruled out for Sunday's game versus the Rockets due to an illness.
An illness will keep Cryer out of Sunday's game, and for now, he should be considered questionable for Tuesday's meeting with the Kings. Pat Spencer should be more involved in the rotation Sunday with Cryer unavailable.
