Tillman (recently traded) is not listed on the injury report ahead of Monday's game against the Pistons.

Tillman is on track to make his debut with the Hornets after being acquired from the Celtics on Thursday. Tillman is unlikely to see many minutes with his new team, given that he appeared in just three games for Boston since Christmas Day.

Huff posted 15 points (5-10 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), seven rebounds, two assists, two blocks and two steals over 30 minutes during the Pacers' 122-104 loss to the Raptors on Sunday.

Huff finished Sunday's game as the Pacers' second-leading scorer behind Pascal Siakam (18 points), and the former has recorded two blocks in four of his last five outings. Huff has started in each of the Pacers' last four games and should remain in the starting lineup for as long as newcomer Ivica Zubac (ankle) is sidelined.

Sabonis (back) is questionable for Monday's game against the Pelicans.

Sabonis could miss a third straight game due to a lingering back injury. If he is unable to go, Maxime Raynaud and Dylan Cardwell figure to see expanded roles.

Jackson-Davis logged 10 points (2-4 FG, 6-10 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 16 minutes during the Raptors' 122-104 win over the Pacers on Sunday.

Jackson-Davis was cleared to make his Raptors four days after being acquired from the Warriors, and he saw meaningful minutes off the bench in the absence of Jakob Poeltl (back). Jackson-Davis gave the Pacers fits on the boards, logging a season-high eight offensive rebounds, which led to him attempting 10 free throws for the first time this season. With Collin Murray-Boyles and Sandro Mamukelashvili also on the roster, it's unclear what kind of playing time Jackson-Davis will see once Poeltl is cleared to return.

Duren (knee) is probable for Monday's game against the Hornets.

Duren missed Friday's game against the Knicks due to right knee soreness, but he will likely return to action Monday. Over his last five non-injury-shortened games, Duren is averaging 19.6 points, 11.4 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1.0 steals in 28.6 minutes per contest.

Jokic (ankle) is probable to play Monday versus the Cavaliers.

Jokic is dealing with a minor ankle ailment, but it doesn't sound like he's in any danger of missing Monday's game. Check back for official confirmation on Jokic's status closer to Monday's tip.

Poeltl (back) has been ruled out for Sunday's game versus the Pacers, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.

While Poeltl won't play Sunday, he's reportedly "very close" to getting back to the court. Per Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca, Poeltl went through a full practice Saturday, and at this stage, his main focus has been getting reconditioned after his back injury has kept him from playing since Dec. 21. Poeltl's next chance to play will come Wednesday versus the Pistons.

Sarr (ankle) is available for Sunday's game against the Heat.

Sarr sat out of the front end of the Wizards' back-to-back set Saturday against the Nets while managing an ankle injury, but the second-year center has been cleared to return for Sunday's matinee. He has averaged 16.9 points, 7.1 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.6 blocks over 28.1 minutes per game since the start of the new calendar year.

Jokic closed with 22 points (7-12 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 6-6 FT), 14 rebounds, 17 assists, four blocks and one steal in 33 minutes during Saturday's 136-120 victory over Chicago.

It was another masterful performance out of the three-time MVP, who set a season high with 17 dimes en route to his league-leading 18th triple-double of the season while leading the Nuggets with a plus-36 point differential. In his five outings since returning from a 16-game absence due to a left knee bone bruise, Jokic has averaged 24.6 points, 12.4 rebounds, 8.8 assists, 1.8 threes, 1.4 steals and 1.0 blocks over 33.0 minutes per contest while connecting on 51.3 percent of his field-goal attempts.

Bagley contributed 16 points (6-14 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 3-7 FT), 12 rebounds, two assists, four blocks and one steal across 24 minutes during Saturday's 138-125 loss to the Spurs.

Bagley was cleared to make his Mavericks debut Saturday, when he served as Daniel Gafford's backup. Bagley provided Dallas a nice spark off the bench, logging his fourth double-double of the season while recording a game-high four blocks. He should continue to serve as the first big off the Mavericks' bench ahead of Moussa Cisse and Dwight Powell.
