Indiana Pacers center Ivica Zubac (ankle) has been tagged as questionable for Tuesday's meeting with the New York Knicks. After recovering from an ankle injury, Zubac has suited up for three straight games, but he might miss Tuesday's contest because it's part of a back-to-back. If Indiana decides to sit Zubac, Jay Huff and Micah Potter (triceps) would move up on the depth chart, though the latter is also considered questionable for Tuesday's game. Both backup bigs performed well for the Pacers during Zubac's five-week absence.

Indiana Pacers guard/forward Aaron Nesmith (ankle) is considered questionable for Tuesday's visit to Madison Square Garden to face the New York Knicks. Nesmith has produced a couple of big performances lately, including a 32-point effort in Sunday's loss to Milwaukee, but he's managing an ankle injury. The team will want to be cautious with Nesmith during its upcoming back-to-back set. At MSG, the Pacers may mainly rely on their reserves, with Pascal Siakam (knee), Ivica Zubac (ankle), and Andrew Nembhard (calf) also listed on the injury report.

Indiana Pacers guard Andrew Nembhard (calf) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's tilt against the New York Knicks. After dealing with back and neck injuries, Nembhard has sustained a right calf contusion, which could keep him sidelined for a second consecutive game. T.J. McConnell (hamstring) started in Nembhard's absence on Sunday against Milwaukee, but he is also on the injury report with a questionable tag. Quenton Jackson (calf) isn't fully healthy either, meaning Kam Jones could have a very heavy workload in Tuesday's game, along with Ethan Thompson.

Miami Heat forward Andrew Wiggins (toe) won't play on Tuesday against the Charlotte Hornets. He has been ruled out for a sixth consecutive game due to a toe injury. Over the last couple of games, the Heat have used Kel'el Ware as Wiggins' replacement in the first unit. On Tuesday, there might be another change in the lineup depending on Bam Adebayo's (calf) status. Ware averages 12.9 points, 11.0 rebounds, and 1.3 blocks as a starter this season. Jaime Jaquez Jr. also has a chance to make a bigger impact without Wiggins.

Celtics' F Jaylen Brown scored 41 points on 10-of-20 shooting in a 120-112 win over the Suns on Monday, Mar. 16.

Phoenix's G Devin Booker scored 40 points on 15-of-24 shooting in a 112-120 loss to Boston on Monday, Mar. 16.

Bulls' G Josh Giddey recorded a triple-double, finishing with 16 points, 13 assists and 15 rebounds in a 132-107 win over the Grizzlies on Monday, Mar. 16.

Mavericks' F Naji Marshall scored 32 points on 12-of-24 shooting in a 111-129 loss to New Orleans on Monday, Mar. 16. Marshall is owned in only 68.4% leagues.

Golden State's F Kristaps Porzingis scored 30 points on 8-of-13 shooting in a 125-117 win over Washington on Monday, Mar. 16. Porzingis is owned in only 70.7% leagues.

Hawks' F Jalen Johnson recorded a triple-double, finishing with 24 points, 13 assists and 15 rebounds in a 124-112 win over the Magic on Monday, Mar. 16.

Atlanta's G Nickeil Alexander-Walker scored 41 points on 12-of-21 shooting in a 124-112 win over the Magic on Monday, Mar. 16.

Indiana Pacers forward Pascal Siakam (knee) has been tagged as doubtful on the injury report for Tuesday's clash against the New York Knicks, indicating he is unlikely to return to the lineup. The Cameroonian has been out of action for four games due to a right knee sprain. Indiana has almost the entire team on the injury report ahead of Tuesday's contest, making it impossible to project how the rotation will look. That said, Jarace Walker is healthy and has been a bigger part of the offense in the games Siakam has missed. Additionally, Kobe Brown and Jalen Slawson are poised to receive increased opportunities because the team lacks options at the No. 4 spot.

Milwaukee Bucks point guard Kevin Porter Jr. (knee) will rejoin the lineup on Tuesday against the Cleveland Cavaliers. He skipped the second leg of a back-to-back on Sunday versus Indiana to manage a knee issue. Earlier this month, Porter Jr. missed four games due to right knee synovitis. In his last appearance, Porter Jr. made an impact all over the court, finishing a 122-99 loss to Atlanta with 18 points, seven rebounds, seven assists, two steals, and one block. On Tuesday night, Porter Jr. could be the primary offensive option for the Bucks, as Giannis Antetokounmpo (ankle) is hurt and may miss the game.

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (oblique) has been ruled out for Tuesday's matchup with the Denver Nuggets. He will miss a 10th consecutive game due to a right oblique strain. According to 76ers head coach Nick Nurse, Embiid has resumed basketball activities. This suggests that the former MVP shouldn't be too far from returning. However, he still needs a bit more time to recover, giving Andre Drummond and Adem Bona a chance to impress against Nikola Jokic. Drummond had a big 17-rebound performance on Sunday against Portland when he returned from a three-game absence. The veteran outperformed Bona and may have earned himself a starting spot for Tuesday.

New York Knicks point guard Jalen Brunson (ankle, neck) is questionable for Tuesday's meeting with the Indiana Pacers. Brunson produced 29 points and nine assists against the Pacers on Friday night, but he may have to sit out Tuesday's rematch due to ankle and neck injuries. Brunson's absence would create additional playing opportunities for Jose Alvarado, Jordan Clarkson, and Landry Shamet. Additionally, Karl-Anthony Towns will be expected to be much more active on the offensive end. Towns has averaged 28.2 points and 14.0 rebounds in five games without Brunson this season.

Cleveland Cavaliers center Jarrett Allen (knee) will miss the team's upcoming three-game road trip, P.J. Ziegler of FOX 8 reports. Due to right knee tendonitis, he will sit out a sixth consecutive game on Tuesday night against the Milwaukee Bucks. In Allen's absence, Thomas Bryant's workload has slightly increased, while Keon Ellis has made back-to-back starts. After impressing in his season debut on Sunday against Dallas, Max Strus is also a candidate to see some action in the starting unit until Allen returns.

Los Angeles Clippers forward/center John Collins will be a starter in Monday's contest against the San Antonio Spurs. Law Murray of The Athletic reports. He will replace Kawhi Leonard (ankle), who was injured in Saturday's loss to Sacramento. Collins has also faced health issues lately, returning from a seven-game absence on Saturday. He was a regular starter before exiting the lineup and has posted 13.9 points and 5.2 rebounds per game as a member of the first unit. Leonard's absence is also likely to increase the offensive usage of Darius Garland and Bennedict Mathurin.

Washington Wizards point guard Trae Young (quadriceps) has been ruled out for the rest of Monday's game against the Golden State Warriors. He will miss the final quarter due to a right quadriceps contusion. Young sustained the injury in the third quarter after colliding with Warriors guard Will Richard. During the closing moments, Washington's backcourt will also be without Bub Carrington, who was ejected after receiving two technical fouls. Sharife Cooper and Tre Johnson will take on larger roles. Before leaving early, Young amassed 21 points, two rebounds, five assists, one steal, and one block in 21 minutes. The Wizards will likely head into Tuesday's game against the Detroit Pistons without Young.

Sacramento Kings guard Russell Westbrook (foot) is off the injury report and available for Tuesday's game against the Spurs after sitting out Sunday. The veteran has averaged 17.2 points, 6.8 rebounds, 9.6 assists, and 2.2 steals over his last five games and remains a strong fantasy hold for managers needing assists and steals. His return should push Killian Hayes back into a smaller reserve role, while Malik Monk (ankle) could see slightly less ballhandling if active. Westbrook should continue seeing steady usage alongside DeMar DeRozan in the starting unit.

Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo (calf) carries a questionable tag on the injury report ahead of Tuesday's clash against the Charlotte Hornets. He is experiencing tightness in his right calf, and Adebayo might miss his first game of 2026 as a result. Without Adebayo, Kel'el Ware would have a much bigger role in the frontcourt, while Myron Gardner or Simone Fontecchio could get a chance to start. On the offensive side, Norman Powell and Tyler Herro would handle a larger load.
