  • Patty Mills PG | LAC

    Clippers' Patty Mills: Ruled out Tuesday

    Mills (illness) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Spurs.

    Mills was a late addition to the injury report before being ruled out, and his next chance to play will come Wednesday against the Rockets. The veteran guard's absence shouldn't cause any major waves in the Clippers' rotation.

    Warriors' Quinten Post: Won't suit up Tuesday

    Post (illness) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Suns, Dalton Johnson of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

    The rookie big man was a late addition to the injury report and won't suit up due to an illness. His next chance to play will come Wednesday against San Antonio. Kevon Looney will likely receive an uptick in playing time behind Draymond Green due to Post being sidelined.

  • Suns' Nick Richards: Will suit up vs. Golden State

    Richards (elbow) is available for Tuesday's game against the Warriors.

    Richards will shake off a probable tag Tuesday due to right elbow soreness. Over his last five outings (four starts), the big man has averaged 6.2 points and 5.8 rebounds across 22.2 minutes per contest.

  • Clippers' Derrick Jones: Starting sans Leonard

    Jones will start in Tuesday's game against the Spurs, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.

    The 28-year-old forward will return to the starting five due to Kawhi Leonard (knee) being sidelined. Jones has made five starts since the All-Star break, averaging 11.4 points and 2.8 rebounds across 25.6 minutes per contest in those five games.

  • Kawhi Leonard SF | LAC

    Clippers' Kawhi Leonard: Won't play Tuesday

    Leonard (knee) is out for Tuesday's game versus the Spurs, Mark Medina of TheSportingTribune.com reports.

    Leonard has been downgraded from questionable to out for the first leg of the Clippers' back-to-back Tuesday due to right knee injury management. Derrick Jones and Nicolas Batum are candidates to receive increased playing time in his absence. Leonard's next chance to suit up is Wednesday's matchup with Houston.

  • Kawhi Leonard SF | LAC

    Clippers' Kawhi Leonard: Absent from warmups

    Leonard (knee) wasn't seen during his typical warmup time slot ahead of Tuesday's game versus the Spurs, Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com reports.

    Leonard is officially listed as questionable for the first leg of the Clippers' back-to-back Tuesday due to right knee injury management. However, Leonard's absence from warmups is a bad sign of his availability against San Antonio.

  • Rockets' Alperen Sengun: Iffy for Wednesday

    Sengun is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game versus the Clippers due to lower back soreness.

    Sengun is in danger of missing his first game since March 3 due to lower back soreness. If Sengun is ultimately downgraded to out, Steven Adams and Jock Landale are candidates to receive increased playing time.

  • Jamal Murray PG | DEN

    Nuggets' Jamal Murray: Not expected to play Wednesday

    Murray is doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Kings with right hamstring inflammation.

    Murray is not expected to play against Sacramento, which would mark his sixth straight absence. The star guard is running out of time if he wants to return before the end of the regular season, with his next chance to take the floor coming Friday against Memphis if he's ultimately ruled out for Wednesday. Russell Westbrook has averaged 14.3 points, 5.3 assists, 5.0 rebounds, 1.5 steals and 0.5 blocks in 28.2 minutes over his last six games, and he should continue to see a bump in ball-handling duties.

  • Jabari Smith PF | HOU

    Rockets' Jabari Smith: Iffy to face LAC

    Smith is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Clippers due to left groin soreness.

    The left groin injury is a new concern for Smith, who hasn't missed a game since Feb. 13. If the 21-year-old is sidelined against Los Angeles, Tari Eason and Jae'Sean Tate are candidates for a bump in minutes.

  • Fred VanVleet PG | HOU

    Rockets' Fred VanVleet: Doubtful to play Wednesday

    VanVleet is doubtful to play Wednesday's game against the Clippers due to right ankle soreness.

    The doubtful tag suggests VanVleet might be a long shot to suit up Wednesday due to soreness in his ankle, and the Rockets could very well take a cautious approach with their starting point guard. VanVleet is averaging 12.7 points, 2.8 rebounds, 5.0 assists and 1.3 steals per game over his last 10 games, however, so he's not offering much in fantasy as a scoring option, mainly since he's shooting just 34.2 percent from the floor in that stretch.
