Achiuwa (back) is questionable for Thursday's game against Orlando.

Achiuwa remains day-to-day after missing Tuesday's game against the Hornets. If he misses another contest, Daeqwon Plowden could be poised for another healthy workload in the frontcourt.

Westbrook (foot) is out for Thursday's game against Orlando.

Westbrook will be sidelined for a third straight contest Thursday. The Kings don't have anything left to play for, so the team may be cautious about bringing the veteran back. Devin Carter could see another sizable workload in Westbrook's absence.

Miller is out for Wednesday's game against the Raptors due to back soreness, NBA writer Justin Russo reports.

Miller will be sidelined Wednesday for the first time since Dec. 11. His next chance to play comes Friday, when the Clippers face the Pacers in Indiana. With Kawhi Leonard (ankle) questionable versus Toronto, Kris Dunn, Bennedict Mathurin and Nicolas Batum could all see an uptick in playing time.

Leonard (ankle) is out for Wednesday's game against the Raptors, Mark Medina of TheSportingTribune.com reports.

Leonard was previously listed as questionable, but the Clippers have opted to hold him out Wednesday. His next chance to play comes Friday against Indiana. With Jordan Miller (back) also out, Bennedict Mathurin and Kris Dunn could be heavily involved.

Quickley is doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Clippers.

The 2020 first-rounder is expected to miss a second consecutive contest due to right foot plantar fasciitis. In Quickley's likely absence, Jamal Shead and Ja'Kobe Walter should both see additional ball-handling responsibilities in the backcourt Wednesday.

Turner is questionable for Wednesday's game against Portland with right calf soreness.

Turner is a late addition to the injury report, and he's been nursing calf issues for the past week or so. With Bobby Portis' (wrist) status also up in the air Wednesday, the Bucks may need to turn to Jericho Sims and Pete Nance to both take on a featured role in the frontcourt.

Gordon is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Mavericks due to right hamstring injury management.

With Wednesday being the second leg of Denver's back-to-back set, the team is considering holding Gordon out of action for maintenance purposes. Peyton Watson (hamstring) is also a question mark to play versus Dallas, so both Tim Hardaway and Bruce Brown could be in line for an expanded role.

Watson (hamstring) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Mavericks.

After missing the front end of this back-to-back set Tuesday against the Suns, Watson is not a lock to play Wednesday. If he's held out once again, the Nuggets will likely lean on Tim Hardaway and Spencer Jones.

Vukcevic is out for Wednesday's game against the Jazz due to lower-back tightness.

After exiting early during Sunday's loss to the Knicks, Vukcevic continues to deal with the issue and can be deemed day-to-day going forward. With Alex Sarr (toe) also sidelined, the Wizards will need to play small-ball, with Anthony Gill, Justin Champagnie, Julian Reese and Jamir Watkins as candidates to soak up center minutes.

Coulibaly (heel) is good to go for Wednesday's game against the Jazz.

Coulibaly will shake off a questionable tag after dealing with right retrocalcaneal bursitis. For now, it's unclear if he will face any restrictions against the Jazz. After missing two games in mid-March, Coulibaly has totaled 34 points, nine rebounds, six assists, four steals and four blocks in 63 minutes over his past two appearances.
