Thompson (rest) is listed doubtful for Thursday's game in Memphis.

Thompson appears in line to sit out the first leg of a back-to-back set, but he should be back for Friday's game against the Cavaliers. With Thompson unavailable, Caleb Martin should be able to get back into the Dallas rotation.

Powell (groin) is out for Thursday's game against the Bucks.

Powell remains without a timetable for a return due to a right groin strain. The star guard is likely more week-to-week than day-to-day.

White is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against Oklahoma City due to a right knee contusion, Zack Cox of the Boston Herald reports.

White has picked up a bruised right knee, and the issue could prevent him from facing the Thunder. The standout guard played 40 minutes in Tuesday's loss to San Antonio. If he can't play, Payton Pritchard (neck) would likely handle point guard duties.

Pritchard is probable for Thursday's game against the Thunder due to a neck spasm, Zack Cox of the Boston Herald reports.

After missing Tuesday's loss to the Spurs, Pritchard is now expected to return to the floor Thursday. The sharpshooter has averaged 13.8 points, 5.3 assists and 3.2 rebounds in 30.4 minutes per contest in his last six games.

Highsmith is questionable to play Thursday in Indiana due to right knee injury management, Kellan Olson of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Highsmith recently returned from a lengthy absence, so the medical staff may play it safe and hold him out of Thursday's game, which will be the first of a back-to-back set. If Highsmith hits the sidelines, there would be more minutes available for Amir Coffey and Ryan Dunn.

Goodwin is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against Indiana due to left calf injury management, Kellan Olson of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Goodwin, who returned from a seven-game absence Tuesday, could be in line for a maintenance day Thursday while the Suns kick off a back-to-back set. Given Goodwin's recent absence, it wouldn't be surprising to see him idle for at least one leg of the back-to-back.

Allen is questionable for Thursday's game in Indiana due to right knee injury management, Kellan Olson of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Thursday's game will be the first of a back-to-back set, so there's a chance Allen will get hit with a maintenance day. If Allen is held out, Collin Gillespie could see an uptick in usage, and there would be more minutes available for Jordan Goodwin (calf).

Tatum (Achilles) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Thunder, Zack Cox of the Boston Herald reports.

Tatum just got back from last year's Achilles rupture last week, so the Celtics are monitoring his workload. If the teams opts to hold the superstar forward out of action, Baylor Scheierman, Sam Hauser and Hugo Gonzalez would each have an opportunity to step up for Boston.

Bona is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against Detroit due to back soreness.

Bona is at risk of missing his first game since Jan. 9 as he tends to a back issue. If Bona were to sit Thursday, Andre Drummond would assume starting center duties, while Dominick Barlow and Trendon Watford could see some action at the five spot.

Jackson is listed as doubtful for Thursday's game against Phoenix due to right calf soreness.

Jackson is expected to miss the opening end of a back-to-back set Thursday due to a calf issue. Jackson is one of several Pacers players on the injury report, so it's uncertain who'll pick up the slack if Jackson is inactive.
