Black (abdomen) is out for Tuesday's game against the Thunder.

Black will be sidelined for a sixth straight game, and there's been no indication that he's close to a return, with the Magic announcing last week that his return timeline will depend on how he responds to treatment. For now, he can be considered doubtful for Thursday's game against Charlotte.

Larsson (elbow) is good to go Tuesday against the Hornets.

As expected, Larsson was able to shed his probable tag for this contest. He'll be on the streaming radar Tuesday, with Andrew Wiggins (toe) already ruled out and Bam Adebayo (calf) listed as doubtful.

Jovic (back) is available for Tuesday's game against Charlotte.

After nearly a month on the shelf, Jovic is set to return to the lineup. Bam Adebayo (calf) is doubtful for Tuesday, so there are some minutes up for grabs in Miami.

Adebayo (calf) is doubtful for Tuesday's game against the Hornets.

Adebayo appears likely to miss his first game since Dec. 27. He was previously labeled as questionable, so he can be treated as day-to-day for now. With this news, Kel'el Ware could step into a major role as Miami's starting center, making him a popular target in daily formats.

Spurs head coach Mitch Johnson said Monday that he's optimistic Kornet (knee) will be available for Tuesday's game in Sacramento, Tom Orsborn of the San Antonio Express-News reports.

Along with Kornet, Johnson also expressed confidence that guard Dylan Harper (calf) would be available Tuesday, which would bring the San Antonio rotation back to full strength. While Kornet was sidelined for Monday's 119-115 win over the Clippers due to a sore right knee, Carter Bryant (21 minutes) saw a slightly heightened role, and Mason Plumlee (six minutes) was added to the rotation as a backup option behind Victor Wembanyama.

Spurs head coach Mitch Johnson said Monday that he's optimistic Harper (calf) will be available for Tuesday's game in Sacramento, Tom Orsborn of the San Antonio Express-News reports.

Along with Harper, Johnson also expressed confidence that center Luke Kornet (knee) would be available Tuesday, which would bring the San Antonio rotation back to full strength. While Harper was sidelined for a second straight game in Monday's 119-115 win over the Clippers due to a bruised right calf, Stephon Castle (36 minutes) and Devin Vassell (35 minutes) saw slightly elevated roles, and Jordan McLaughlin (10 minutes) was added to the rotation.

Robinson (back) is questionable for Tuesday's game against Indiana.

Robinson was a very late addition to the injury report. Considering the opponent, the Knicks may opt to proceed with caution. Ariel Hukporti could soak up some backup center minutes if Robinson is held out.

Brunson (ankle) is doubtful for Tuesday's game against the Pacers.

Brunson was previously listed as questionable, but the Knicks seemingly believe it's in his best interest to rest up against this struggling opponent. With Brunson expected to sit, Jose Alvarado and Landry Shamet could be more involved in the Knicks' backcourt, but Karl-Anthony Towns will presumably be the go-to scorer.

Jackson supplied 11 points (4-5 FG, 3-4 FT), one rebound, one block and one steal in 17 minutes during Monday's 119-115 loss to the Spurs.

Jackson turned some heads in limited minutes Monday, perhaps giving the coaching staff something to think about. Brook Lopez has been solid for the most part as Los Angeles' starting center, but he posted a major dud in 24 minutes Monday. Keep an eye on Jackson in case he builds on this momentum.

Miller notched 22 points (10-13 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-1 FT), nine rebounds and three assists in 26 minutes during Monday's 119-115 loss to San Antonio.

With Kawhi Leonard (ankle) sidelined, Miller took advantage of some extra touches and was an obvious standout for the Clippers. Miller has a lot of upside when the minutes are there, making him a valuable streamer if Leonard continues to miss time. Leonard is traveling with the team and is considered day-to-day.
