Marshall will start Tuesday's game against the Hawks.

After missing two straight games to begin March, Marshall came off the bench in three consecutive contests and handled a limited workload. However, he's back in the starting lineup Tuesday, sending Khris Middleton to a reserve role. As a starter this season, Marshall has averaged 17.8 points, 5.2 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 1.1 steals in 32.4 minutes per game.

Riley will start Tuesday's game against the Heat.

After coming off the bench in Washington's last two games, Riley will get the starting nod in Miami. As a starter this season (four games), the rookie first-rounder has averaged 16.8 points, 4.0 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.8 steals in 34.3 minutes per contest.

Middleton won't start Tuesday's game against the Hawks.

After 10 straight starts, Middleton is moving to the bench in favor of Naji Marshall. Even as a starter, Middleton averaged 6.5 points, 3.5 rebounds and 2.0 assists in only 21.5 minutes over his past two appearances.

Sims (knee) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Suns.

Sims is dealing with a right knee issue and won't suit up Tuesday. His next opportunity to play will come Thursday in Miami. With Bobby Portis (back) also sidelined, Pete Nance, Kyle Kuzma and Ousmane Dieng are candidates to see increased minutes Tuesday.

Allen (knee) is available for Tuesday's game against the Bucks.

Allen was a late addition to the injury report Sunday, and despite being listed as probable, he sat out during the win over Charlotte, which was surprising after he totaled 62 minutes during a back-to-back set earlier in the week. While Allen is cleared to play Tuesday, it's possible he sits out either Thursday in Indiana or Friday in Toronto as he continues to manage a knee issue.

Portis (back) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Suns.

Portis was a late addition to Tuesday's injury report due to a back contusion, and the injury is severe enough for the veteran big man to sit out of Tuesday's contest. With Jericho Sims (knee) also out, the Bucks will lean more heavily on Kyle Kuzma and Pete Nance to provide depth behind Giannis Antetokounmpo and Myles Turner.

Reese (two-way) is listed out for Tuesday's game against the Heat.

Reese has played at least 26 minutes in each of the Wizards' last four contests and has made three starts during that stretch, but because he's signed to a two-way contract, he has limited availability for the rest of the season. With the Wizards choosing to hold Reese out Tuesday, he'll be eligible to suit up for nine of the team's remaining 18 contests.

Hendricks will start Tuesday's game against the 76ers.

Hendricks will return from a one-game absence due to thumb soreness and enter the starting lineup, pushing GG Jackson to the bench. Over two starts for Memphis, Hendricks has averaged 6.5 points, 5.5 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 1.0 steals in 24.5 minutes per tilt.

Black (two-way) is listed out for Tuesday's game against the Heat.

Black has played 30-plus minutes in each of the Wizards' last three games, but because he's signed to a two-way contract, he has limited availability for the rest of the season. With the Wizards choosing to hold Black out Tuesday, he'll be eligible to suit up for 11 of the team's remaining 18 contests.

Coward is in the Grizzlies' starting lineup against the 76ers on Tuesday.

Coward was cleared to play Tuesday after missing Monday's loss against the Nets due to a knee injury, and the rookie first-rounder will start for Memphis in his return. In his last outing against the Clippers on Saturday, Coward played 22 minutes and finished with 15 points, seven rebounds, one block and two three-pointers (on eight attempts).
