Wiggins is probable for Tuesday's game against the Nets with bilateral knee tendinitis.

Wiggins was a very late addition to the injury report, but it sounds like he will push through the pain for this contest. The forward is averaging 17.4 points, 6.0 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 1.6 blocks and 2.8 three-pointers over his last five contests.

Oubre (illness) is out for Tuesday's game against the Spurs.

Oubre was a late addition to the injury report and will be held out for the front end of this back-to-back set. With this news, there could be more minutes available for Quentin Grimes and Jabari Walker on the wings.

Black (quadriceps) has been downgraded to questionable for Tuesday's game against the Wizards, with head coach Jamahl Mosley noting that Black is unlikely to play, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reports.

Black had been listed as probable heading into the day due to a right quad contusion, but the Magic are now likely to hold the 22-year-old guard out for the night after he was unable to go through morning shootaround. Unless Black's condition takes a dramatic turn for the better leading up to the 7 p.m. ET tipoff, the Magic are likely to rely more heavily on Jevon Carter and Tristan da Silva in his expected absence.

Detroit recalled Lanier from the G League's Motor City Cruise on Monday.

Lanier has 20 NBA appearances to his name this season for an average of 8.6 minutes per contest. With the Pistons at full strength, Lanier isn't expected to see playing time.

Detroit recalled Klintman from the G League's Motor City Cruise on Monday.

Klintman will be available as an emergency option off the bench Tuesday against Cleveland with this transaction.

Williams had 18 points (5-8 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 5-6 FT), two rebounds, two assists and one steal over 22 minutes during Monday's 114-101 loss to the Clippers.

The journeyman signed a two-way deal with the Warriors last month, and he impressed during his second game of action with the parent club. He's already made waves with the G League since his acquisition, and the Warriors are in desperate need of depth at his position. Although we shouldn't expect too much from Williams, his stat line was encouraging.

Podziemski recorded 22 points (9-18 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds and three assists in 37 minutes during Monday's 114-101 loss to the Clippers.

Podziemski posted a solid all-around line in the loss, but lackluster performances with the rest of the first unit weren't enough to turn the tide against the Clippers. He was one of only four Warriors to reach double digits in the contest, with only two other players scoring more than 10 points. Although Podziemski has been a great placeholder for Stephen Curry (knee), the team is in desperate need of more production.

Dunn totaled 16 points (7-10 FG, 2-4 3Pt), seven rebounds, seven assists and two steals across 26 minutes during Monday's 114-101 victory over the Warriors.

Dunn's time as a viable fantasy contributor may be running out soon, as Darius Garland returned to action and will be the starter at point guard once he reaches 100 percent. Fantasy managers who depend on Dunn's production will need to pivot quickly, as productive nights from Dunn could be limited to upcoming back-to-backs if Garland rests.

Leonard had 23 points (9-14 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, four assists and two steals over 29 minutes during Monday's 114-101 win over the Warriors.

The Warriors put up a spirited effort, but Leonard answered every attempt to close the gap. He laid the hammer down in the second half, willing his team to a sizeable lead before the buzzer. Leonard now has the help he needs with Darius Garland's return, lifting both players' fortunes as they drive for a playoff spot.

Garland (toe) notched 12 points (4-9 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, two assists and one steal in 23 minutes during Monday's 114-101 win over Golden State.

Though he was acquired from the Cavaliers back on Feb. 4, Garland didn't make his Clippers debut until Monday following a lengthy recovery from a right big toe sprain and left big toe injury management. Garland is likely to move into a starting role with the Clippers over time, but head coach Tyronn Lue elected to bring the point guard off the bench in his debut in an attempt to manage his minutes. Garland's addition will be key down the stretch for the Clippers, who appear to be assured a spot in the Play-In Tournament. Garland could be in line for an absence soon with a back-to-back set on tap this weekend, but he should be able to play and could see a slight rise in minutes in the Clippers' next game Wednesday against the Pacers.
