  • Raptors' Jontay Porter: Under investigation for gambling

    Porter, who is listed as out for Monday's game against the Nets due to a personal matter, has been away from the team because he's the subject of an NBA investigation into irregularities on prop bets involving him for games played Jan. 26 and March 20, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

    Porter is missing his second straight game Monday, but he looks as though he could be out for much longer while the investigation remains active. Before missing Saturday's 112-109 loss to the Wizards, Porter had played in six straight games and averaged 5.8 points, 4.3 assists, 4.0 rebounds, 1.3 steals and 1.3 blocks in 19.3 minutes during that stretch. His ongoing absence should pave the way for Mouhamadou Gueye to stay in the rotation as the primary backup to starting center Kelly Olynyk, though Toronto will likely make use of small-ball lineups, too.

  • Warriors' Trayce Jackson-Davis: Iffy for Tuesday

    Jackson-Davis is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Heat due to right knee soreness.

    Jackson-Davis hasn't missed a game since mid-February, but his status for Tuesday's game is up in the air. If he's sidelined against Miami, Draymond Green, Kevon Looney and Dario Saric could see additional minutes.

  • Celtics' Xavier Tillman: Ruled out for Monday

    Tillman (knee) has been ruled out for Monday's game against Atlanta, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.

    Tillman appeared in the last seven games but will be unavailable Monday due to his knee injury. He'll have a few days to rest before Thursday's rematch against Atlanta, but it's unclear whether he'll be ready to return by then.

  • Mo Bamba C | UTA

    76ers' Mo Bamba: Sees 22 minutes against Clippers

    Bamba closed with five points (2-5 FG, 1-2 3Pt), seven rebounds, one assist and two blocks across 22 minutes during Sunday's 121-107 win over the Clippers.

    Bamba's offensive usage rate remains low, but his overall production across the board is trending up. In his last six outings, Bamba posted averages of 6.8 points, 6.0 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 1.5 blocks, 1.3 steals and 1.3 three-pointers.

  • Paul Reed C | DET

    76ers' Paul Reed: Impresses off bench

    Reed registered 10 points (4-6 FG, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, three assists, two blocks and three steals across 24 minutes during Sunday's 121-107 win over the Clippers.

    This was quite the showing from Reed as he showcased his ability to stuff the stat sheet across the board. His defense and rebounding are his calling cards, as he's averaging 1.6 blocks, 1.2 steals and 7.3 rebounds in March.

  • Brook Lopez C | LAC

    Bucks' Brook Lopez: Scores 14 in 23 minutes

    Lopez produced 14 points (5-11 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-3 FT), three rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in 23 minutes during Sunday's 118-93 victory over the Thunder.

    The Bucks handled their business early, so they were able to dial Lopez's minutes back a bit. He's averaging 10.9 points, 4.5 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 1.1 blocks and 2.3 three-pointers in 11 March appearances.

  • Jazz's Omer Yurtseven: Gets green light

    Yurtseven (ankle) is available for Monday's game against the Mavericks.

    Yurtseven will return to action Monday after missing Saturday's loss to the Rockets due to a right ankle sprain. However, Utah is at full strength, save for Kris Dunn (suspension), so it's unclear how big of a role Yurtseven will have off the bench.

  • Spurs' Victor Wembanyama: Sitting out Monday

    Wembanyama (ankle) won't play Monday against the Suns.

    Wembanyama participated in portions of Monday's shootaround, which suggests that his left ankle sprain is minor, but it's not a surprise to see the Spurs err on the side of caution and hold the prized rookie out while he's less than 100 percent. In Wembanyama's absence, the Spurs will likely move Zach Collins into the starting five and insert Dominick Barlow into the rotation as their backup center.

  • Taj Gibson PF | NO

    Pistons' Taj Gibson: Out Monday

    Gibson (hamstring) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Knicks.

    Gibson has made just one appearance for the Pistons since signing in mid-March. His next chance to suit up will come Wednesday in Minnesota, but even when he's healthy, the veteran likely won't see many minutes.

  • Jalen Duren C | DET

    Pistons' Jalen Duren: Remains out Monday

    Duren (back) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Knicks.

    Duren will miss a third straight game due to low back spasms, so James Wiseman should draw another start at center. Duren's next chance to suit up will come Wednesday in Minnesota.
