Kuzma (Achilles) is probable for Tuesday's game against Dallas.

Kuzma appears to be on the brink of a return following a four-game absence due to right Achilles soreness. The Utah product should be in line to start Tuesday, assuming he's given the green light to suit up prior to tipoff.

Portis (wrist) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Mavericks.

Portis will miss a fourth consecutive contest due to a left wrist sprain. His next opportunity to play will come in the second leg of this back-to-back set Wednesday against the Rockets. With the veteran forward out, Pete Nance, Jericho Sims and Ousmane Dieng are candidates for increased playing time.

Rollins (hip) is probable for Tuesday's game against Dallas.

Rollins is expected to return from a hip injury, which cost him Sunday's game against the Clippers. The guard is enjoying a breakout year, averaging 20.4 points, 5.8 assists, 3.8 rebounds and 1.4 steals in 30.2 minutes per contest in his last eight games (all starts).

Antetokounmpo (knee) won't play Tuesday against the Mavericks.

Antetokounmpo continues to sit out due to a left knee hyperextension and bone bruise. The Bucks have failed to provide a timetable for the star forward's return, so he can be considered doubtful for Milwaukee's next game Wednesday in Houston until further notice.

Herro (neck) is available for Monday's game against Philadelphia, according to Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel.

Herro had a game-high 31 points in Sunday's 135-118 loss to the Indiana Pacers. While the 26-year-old appeared on Monday's edition of the injury report, he carried a probable tag, so it was expected he would be available against Philadelphia. In Herro's only meeting with the 76ers this season, he finished with 25 points, four rebounds, seven assists and one steal while shooting 40 percent from deep across 32 minutes.

Turner (knee) is off the injury report for Tuesday's game against the Mavericks.

Turner missed Sunday's loss to the Clippers with a knee issue but is set to return Tuesday, and he'll likely push either Jericho Sims or Pete Nance to the bench. Turner has averaged 10.3 points, 4.4 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 0.9 blocks in 24.3 minutes per contest in his last eight games.

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

McBride, who appeared in his first game Sunday after recovering from sports hernia surgery, appeared to aggravate his previous injury, and he's been added to the injury report as questionable due to pelvic core muscle surgery. He exited Sunday's matchup after logging 11 minutes, and his status is now in question for Tuesday. The Knicks should have a better idea of McBride's availability as he goes through shootaround and warmups.

Queta (thumb) won't play in Monday's game against the Hawks, according to Keith Smith of Spotrac.com.

Queta finished with 17 points, eight rebounds, one assist, one steal and one block in Sunday's 114-99 win over Charlotte. However, he won't suit up for the second of a back-to-back, meaning his next opportunity to play will be Wednesday in Miami. With Queta ruled out, Luka Garza is anticipated to enter the starting lineup. In four starts this season, Garza has averaged 6.8 points, 3.3 rebounds, 0.5 assists and 0.5 steals across 17.8 minutes of work.

Harper is out for Monday's game against Atlanta due to a right ankle sprain, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.

Harper's next chance to play comes Wednesday against the Heat in Miami. With the Rutgers product sidelined Monday, Sam Hauser and Jordan Walsh could pick up a couple of extra minutes on the wing.

Landale (illness) is out for Monday's game against the Celtics, Kevin Chouinard of the Hawks' official site reports.

Landale was added to the injury report due to an illness, and he's not feeling healthy enough to give it a go. This should open up some playing time for Mouhamed Gueye or Christian Koloko in the frontcourt.
