Ingram (heel) has been upgraded to probable for Tuesday's game in Detroit.

Ingram was on track to play in Sunday's 139-87 win over the Magic, although he was ruled out shortly before the opening tip. If the 28-year-old officially gets the green light to suit up, Ja'Kobe Walter or Jamal Shead will likely head back to the bench.

Murray-Boyles (back) is probable for Tuesday's game against the Pistons.

Murray-Boyles was initially added to the injury report as questionable due to lower-back spasms, but it seems he'll be available to run the floor Tuesday. Expect confirmation on his status closer to tipoff.

Gordon (calf) is listed as probable for Wednesday's game in Utah.

Gordon has appeared in only one of Denver's last three games, most recently missing Sunday's 116-93 win over Golden State. He practiced in full Tuesday, so he is on track to suit up. If that's the case, Peyton Watson will likely head back to the bench.

Jones (hamstring) is out for Wednesday's game against the Jazz.

Jones exited Sunday's game against the Warriors with a right hamstring injury, and the issue is significant enough to keep him out of Wednesday's action. Peyton Watson, Julian Strawther and Tim Hardaway could see more opportunities in Jones' absence.

Johnson (back) isn't listed on the injury report for Wednesday's game against the Jazz.

Johnson exited Sunday's win over the Warriors in the third quarter due to back spasms and did not return. However, he practiced Tuesday and is set to play Wednesday. Over his last five games, the 30-year-old forward has averaged 12.6 points, 2.2 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1.0 steals in 27.0 minutes per contest.

Nnaji has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Jazz due to a left hip sprain.

The sixth-year big man came away with the issue during Sunday's win over the Warriors. With Nnaji sidelined Wednesday, Jonas Valanciunas has less competition for the backup center spot behind Nikola Jokic but isn't guaranteed to see meaningful minutes in this role.

Thompson (rest) won't play Tuesday against the Bucks.

This looks to be a scheduled off day for the veteran forward with the regular season nearing an end. Look for Khris Middleton and John Poulakidas to pick up minutes in the frontcourt with Naji Marshall (illness), Caleb Martin (heel) and Thompson all sidelined.

Wolf (ankle) has no timetable for a return, Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Wolf remains in a walking boot due to a sprained left ankle, and the rebuilding Nets are unlikely to be in much of a hurry to push the rookie first-rounder back into the fray. The likes of Ziaire Williams, Drake Powell and Josh Minott should continue to soak up more playing time going forward.

McBride (pelvis) is available for Tuesday's game against the Rockets, Stefan Bondy of The New York Post reports.

McBride's status was in doubt after he departed Sunday's matchup due to injury, but he evidently felt good enough in shootaround and warmups to give it a go Tuesday. He managed to log 11 minutes Sunday before exiting, so expect the Knicks to keep a close eye on his minutes in just his second game back from sports hernia surgery.

O'Neale won't start Tuesday's game against the Magic.

Dillon Brooks will return to the starting lineup following an extended absence due to a fractured left hand, pushing O'Neale to the second unit. Over five outings off the bench this season, the veteran forward has averaged 10.8 points, 5.0 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1.2 steals in 27.6 minutes per contest.
