Allen (knee) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Nuggets.

Allen will have an opportunity to return Tuesday after missing his team's last four matchups due to left knee injury management. Phoenix should have a better idea of his availability as tipoff approaches.

Martin (heel) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Warriors.

Martin will miss a fourth consecutive contest due to a right heel contusion. The veteran forward's next opportunity to play will come Wednesday in Denver. With Martin out, Khris Middleton and Klay Thompson are candidates for a slight bump in minutes.

Williams (concussion) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Warriors.

Williams will miss a third consecutive game as he remains in the league's concussion protocol. Ryan Nembhard figures to see his minutes tick up as a result, and Williams' next chance to return will come Wednesday against the Nuggets.

Moody (wrist), who is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Mavericks, is expected to play, Dalton Johnson of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Moody has missed Golden State's last 10 games due to a right wrist sprain, though he's seemingly trending in the right direction ahead of Monday's tipoff at 9:30 p.m. ET. If the 23-year-old swingman is cleared to suit up, there would be fewer minutes for guys like Will Richard and Gary Payton.

Murray-Boyles (thumb) is available for Monday's game against the Jazz, Michael Grange of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Murray-Boyles will shed his questionable tag and return from an 11-game absence due to a left thumb sprain. He's likely to split the center minutes with Sandro Mamukelashvili in the absence of Jakob Poeltl (back) on Monday.

Williams (shoulder) has been ruled out for Monday's game against Toronto.

Williams was downgraded from questionable to doubtful earlier Monday, so the fact that he's now been ruled out isn't much of a surprise. His next opportunity to play will arrive Wednesday against the Wizards.

Smith (calf) is not in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Rockets.

Smith will play despite previously being listed as questionable due to right calf injury management, but head coach Billy Donovan said that the big man will be limited to 22-to-24 minutes. Because of Smith's minute restriction, the Bulls will keep Nick Richards in the starting lineup at center. In 32 games as a reserve this season, Smith is averaging 9.0 points, 6.4 rebounds and 1.4 assists in 18.1 minutes per contest.

Clayton won't start Monday's game against the Hawks.

With Ty Jerome (calf) back in the lineup, Clayton will slide to the second unit. Over six appearances off the bench this month, the rookie first-rounder has averaged 7.3 points and 5.5 assists across 24.0 minutes per game.

Rupert will start Monday's game against the Hawks, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Rupert has been inactive for his team's last three matchups as Memphis aims to conserve the number of games he has left as a two-way player, but he'll be back in the fold Monday evening. He started his last appearance for the Grizzlies on March 16 against Chicago but was held to three points, four rebounds, one assist and two steals in 27 minutes.

Watson (hamstring) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Suns.

Watson will sit out the front end of this back-to-back set following his return from a 19-game absence due to a strained right hamstring. With the 23-year-old forward out, Spencer Jones and Tim Hardaway are candidates to see increased playing time.
