Sims will start Tuesday's game against Brooklyn.

Sims will return to the starting lineup versus the Nets after coming off the bench in Milwaukee's last two contests. In 16 starts during the campaign, the 27-year-old has averaged 6.3 points, 7.2 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 0.4 blocks and 0.3 steals across 25.3 minutes.

Nance will start Tuesday's game against the Nets.

With Kyle Kuzma (Achilles) unavailable, Nance will step into the starting lineup. As a starter this season (five games), the 26-year-old forward has averaged 10.6 points and 5.0 rebounds in 34.6 minutes per game.

Walter will come off the bench for Tuesday's game against the Heat.

Immanuel Quickley will replace Walter in the first unit for Tuesday's game, and with Quickley active, Walter's minutes figure to dip. As a member of the second unit this season, Walter has averaged 6.7 points and 1.3 three-pointers per game.

Fontecchio won't start Tuesday's game against Toronto.

Fontecchio got the start in Saturday's 152-136 win over the Wizards, finishing with eight points, one rebound, four assists and one steal in 19 minutes. However, with Tyler Herro (personal) back in the lineup, Fontecchio will head back to the bench.

Powell is not in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game in Toronto.

Powell will come off the bench in his return from a four-game absence due to an illness, so he may have his minutes monitored in his first game back. As a reserve this season, the veteran wing has averaged 20.3 points, 2.7 assists and 2.0 triples per contest.

Jones (hamstring) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Grizzlies.

The 24-year-old forward will miss a fourth consecutive contest due to a right hamstring strain, and it's not an encouraging sign that he continues to be ruled out a day in advance of tipoff. With Jones and Peyton Watson (hamstring) both sidelined, Julian Strawther will likely continue seeing meaningful playing time.

Hawkins (illness) is listed as available for Tuesday's game against Utah.

Hawkins officially has the green light to suit up after initially being listed as questionable. With Zion Williamson, Herbert Jones and Saddiq Bey not expected to see any action, and Dejounte Murray (hand), Yves Missi (hand) and Trey Murphy (ankle) ruled out, Hawkins might find himself in the starting lineup. If anything, he should see more opportunities to produce.

White (groin) is out for Tuesday's game in Boston.

White is dealing with some tightness in his left groin, so he'll be held out of Tuesday's game. His absence will likely open up minutes for Tre Mann and Sion James.

Cryer (illness) won't play Tuesday against the Kings.

This will be Cryer's second straight game on the sidelines due to illness. His next chance to play will come Thursday versus the Lakers, which will be the first game of a back-to-back set.

Missi (hand) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Jazz.

The second-year big man will miss his first game since Feb. 26 due to a right hand sprain, and his penultimate chance to play again this season will come Friday in Boston. Zion Williamson, Herbert Jones and Saddiq Bey will all dress but are not expected to play, so Derik Queen, Hunter Dickinson and Josh Oduro are likely to see increased playing time in the frontcourt.
