Suns' Jusuf Nurkic: Ruled out Tuesday
Nurkic (ankle) is out for Tuesday's game against the Clippers, Kellan Olson of ArizonaSports.com reports.
Nurkic was initially listed as questionable due to a right ankle sprain, and the Suns will not risk him with the playoffs right around the corner. However, his loss could be troublesome, as the Suns have gone 1-4 without Nurkic this season. Expect Drew Eubanks to start in his place.

Alperen Sengun C | HOU
Rockets' Alperen Sengun: Unlikely to play this week
Rockets head coach Ime Udoka said Tuesday that Sengun (ankle) is "unlikely" to play in the final week of the regular season, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Sengun hasn't played since suffering a significant right ankle sprain March 10, and though the Rockets initially held out hope that the big man could be back for the tail end of the regular season if a spot in the Western Conference Play-In Tournament was realistic, he'll remain shut down with Houston out of contention. Jabari Smith should continue to start at center the rest of the way, while Dillon Brooks and Amen Thompson retain starting roles at the forward spot. Sengun will wrap up his third NBA season with averages of 21.1 points, 9.3 rebounds, 5.0 assists, 1.2 steals, 0.7 blocks and 0.5 three-pointers in 32.5 minutes per game over 63 appearances.

Pistons' James Wiseman: Heads to bench Tuesday

Wiseman will return to his regular bench role with the return of Jalen Duren to the starting unit. Wiseman has averaged just 6.3 points and 4.7 rebounds per game when deployed off the bench, meaning he shouldn't carry a big fantasy appeal for this contest.

Embiid (knee) is available to play Tuesday's game against the Pistons, Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com reports.
Embiid sat out Sunday's game against the Spurs due to left knee injury management but will return to action Tuesday.

Embiid has averaged 27.7 points, 7.3 rebounds and 3.7 assists in 28.3 minutes per game over his last three appearances.
