Klay Thompson SG | DAL
Mavericks' Klay Thompson: Unlikely to play Sunday
Thompson (rest) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Cavaliers.
Thompson is expected to sit out the front end of this back-to-back set, though he'd likely return for Monday's game in New Orleans if he's ruled out Sunday. If the veteran wing is ultimately ruled out, Naji Marshall and Khris Middleton would be candidates to see a bump in minutes.

Caleb Martin SF | DAL
Mavericks' Caleb Martin: Likely to play Sunday
Martin (finger) is listed as probable for Sunday's game against the Cavaliers.
Martin was able to play through a left finger sprain in Friday's 138-105 loss to Cleveland, and it appears as though he'll continue to do so in Sunday's rematch. Since the All-Star break, Martin has averaged 5.8 points, 2.6 rebounds and 0.8 assists over 18.5 minutes per game.

PJ Washington PF | DAL
Mavericks' P.J. Washington: Questionable for Sunday
Washington (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Cavaliers.
Washington missed Friday's loss to the Cavaliers due to left ankle soreness, though there's a chance he will return for Sunday's rematch in Cleveland. If the 27-year-old forward remains out, Khris Middleton, Caleb Martin (finger) and Naji Marshall would be candidates for increased minutes.

Jeremy Sochan SF | NY
Knicks' Jeremy Sochan: Could return Sunday
Sochan (illness) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Golden State.
Sochan was unable to play against the Pacers on Friday due to an illness. He has a chance to come back Sunday, though Sochan has played single-digit minutes in each of his last seven outings, so his return would not influence the Knicks' rotation all that much.

Josh Hart SF | NY
Knicks' Josh Hart: Questionable to play Sunday
Hart (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Warriors.
Hart didn't play in Friday's win over the Pacers, and the questionable tag means the veteran forward could be in line to miss a third consecutive contest. Hart has been a regular starter for the Knicks when available, though. He's averaging 10.5 points, 7.4 rebounds and 4.4 assists across 28.0 minutes per game in 11 starts since the All-Star break.

Karl-Anthony Towns C | NY
Knicks' Karl-Anthony Towns: Off injury report for Sunday
Towns (knees) isn't listed on the injury report for Sunday's game against the Warriors.
Towns was held out of Friday's win over Indiana due to bilateral knee soreness, though he's set to return to action Sunday. With the star big man returning to the lineup, Mitchell Robinson will likely move back to the second unit. Through seven March appearances, Towns has averaged 21.1 points, 13.0 rebounds and 3.7 assists in 31.0 minutes per contest.

Collin Murray-Boyles PF | TOR
Raptors' Collin Murray-Boyles: Remains out
Murray-Boyles (thumb) is out for Sunday's game against the Pistons.
Murray-Boyles will miss an eighth consecutive game due to a nagging thumb injury. His absence means Sandro Mamukelashvili will likely continue to see extended minutes as Jakob Poeltl's primary backup, while Jamison Battle and Jonathan Mogbo could see more playing time as well.

Danny Wolf PF | BKN
Nets' Danny Wolf: First career double-double
Wolf closed with 15 points (4-9 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 6-6 FT), 10 rebounds and two assists across 26 minutes during Saturday's 104-97 loss to Philadelphia.
Wolf tied a season high with 10 boards during Saturday's game and finished as the Nets' leading scorer en route to the first double-double of his NBA career. The rookie first-rounder has started three of Brooklyn's last four games, but he'll likely come off the bench against the Trail Blazers on Monday if Nic Claxton (rest) and Michael Porter (ankle) are cleared to return.

Adem Bona PF | PHI
76ers' Adem Bona: Swats three shots in return
Bona amassed nine points (2-5 FG, 5-5 FT), 10 rebounds, three blocks and one steal across 33 minutes during Saturday's 104-97 victory over the Nets.
Bona was cleared to return from a one-game absence due to a back injury and drew the start at center with Joel Embiid (oblique) and Andre Drummond (back) both sidelined. Bona was energetic on the defensive end of the floor and posted his ninth game of the season with at least three blocks. He has started each of the Sixers' last five games, and over that span he has averaged 7.4 points, 6.4 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 1.0 blocks over 26.5 minutes per game. Bona should remain in the Sixers' starting five for as long as Drummond and Embiid are sidelined.

John Collins PF | LAC
Clippers' John Collins: Not listed on injury report
Collins (neck) isn't listed on the injury report for Saturday's game against the Kings.
Collins will return to action following a seven-game absence due to a neck strain, though it wouldn't be surprising to see him operate under a minutes restriction. With the 28-year-old forward returning to the lineup, fewer minutes will be available for the likes of Kobe Sanders, Isaiah Jackson and Derrick Jones.
