Head coach James Borrego said that Jones will be in uniform for Tuesday's game against the Jazz, but he doesn't expect him to play, Erin Summers of the Gulf Coast Sports & Entertainment Network reports.

Zion Williamson and Saddiq Bey are also expected to sit out Tuesday's game, which should result in big minutes for Derik Queen and Micah Peavy. It'll be interesting to see if Jones plays Friday in Boston.

Williamson will dress for Tuesday's game against Utah, though he's unlikely to play, Erin Summers of the Gulf Coast Sports & Entertainment Network reports.

Williamson will be available versus the Jazz. However, he will likely only see action if necessary. With Herbert Jones and Saddiq Bey also not expected to see the floor, and Trey Murphy (ankle), Yves Missi (hand) and Dejounte Murray (hand) ruled out, Derik Queen and DeAndre Jordan are the favorites to enter the starting lineup.

Quickley (foot) has been upgraded to available for Tuesday's game against the Heat.

Quickley is ready to return from an eight-game absence due to plantar fasciitis in his right foot, which means fewer minutes will be free at point guard for Jamal Shead and Ja'Kobe Walter. However, Quickley could face a slight minutes restriction in his return to the floor Tuesday.

Potter will come off the bench for Tuesday's game against the Timberwolves, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports.

Potter received a matchup-based start in Sunday's loss to the Cavs, but he'll head back to the second unit for Tuesday's game. As a reserve, Potter owns averages of 8.8 points, 4.2 rebounds and 1.4 triples per contest.

Huff is in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game versus Minnesota, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports.

Huff is supplanting Micah Potter at center in the starting lineup Tuesday. Over his last five starts, Huff has averaged 11.4 points, 4.8 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 2.2 three-pointers in 24.1 minutes per game.

Slawson won't start Tuesday's game against the Timberwolves, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports.

After starting and recording a career-high 19 points in Sunday's loss to Cleveland, Slawson will head back to the bench. As a reserve this season (five appearances), he has averaged 5.2 points, 4.0 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 1.6 steals and 1.2 blocks in 18.6 minutes per contest.

Bailey (knee) is listed as out for Tuesday's game against New Orleans.

Bailey was previously listed as doubtful, so this latest update isn't much of a surprise. His next opportunity to suit up will be Friday versus the Grizzlies. In the meantime, Cody Williams, Brice Sensabaugh and Kyle Filipowski are expected to do most of the heavy lifting on offense.

Riley is coming off the bench in Tuesday's game against the Bulls.

Bilal Coulibaly (heel) is replacing Riley in the starting lineup Tuesday. Riley has played at least 25 minutes in each of his last nine appearances as a reserve, so the expectation is that he'll still play significant minutes from the second unit.

Murray-Boyles (quadriceps) has been upgraded to probable for Tuesday's game against Miami.

Murray-Boyles was initially listed as questionable due to a left quadriceps contusion, though he's trending in the right direction ahead of tipoff at 7:30 p.m. ET. The rookie first-rounder has appeared in each of Toronto's last four games, averaging 16.3 points, 5.8 rebounds and 2.0 assists in 22.8 minutes per tilt during that span.

Filipowski (back) is available for Tuesday's game against the Pelicans.

Filipowski was initially listed as questionable before being upgraded to probable. In two games against New Orleans this season, the 22-year-old has averaged 12.5 points, 6.0 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 0.5 blocks and 0.5 steals across 24.0 minutes of work. However, with the Jazz down several of their top scorers, Filipowski should receive more opportunities on the offensive end.
