Denver Nuggets guard Bones Hyland will play Saturday in the team's game against the Atlanta Hawks. Hyland was listed probable, so this comes as no surprise - even after being a late add to the injury report. He'll take the floor despite dealing with a non-COVID illness. In 42 games...

Dallas Mavericks center Christian Wood (thumb) will be available on Monday against the Utah Jazz. Wood has been upgraded from questionable and will return from an eight-game absence.

Denver Nuggets guard Bruce Brown will start Sunday in the team's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. On the second leg of the back-to-back set, the Nuggets will be severely shorthanded versus Anthony Edwards and Co. Jamal Murray is sidelined due to left knee injury management, and as a result, Brown will draw the start. Expect the big names back in there Tuesday night.

The Denver Nuggets listed Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (ankle) as questionable for Sunday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Caldwell-Pope suffered an ankle injury in yesterday's game against the Atlanta Hawks and was unable to return, so it would appear unlikely that suits up for tonight's game against the Timberwolves. When healthy, Caldwell-Pope...

Boston Celtics small forward Jaylen Brown (illness) has been added to the injury report as questionable for Monday against the Detroit Pistons. Brown might be closer to doubtful after being a late addition to the injury report.

Derrick White and Malcolm Brogdon could also see more work if Brown is unavailable.

The Orlando Magic listed Wendell Carter Jr. (foot) as a starter for Sunday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. Carter Jr. did not play in Friday's game against the Timberwolves as he nursed a foot injury, but will be active and starting for this afternoon's tilt against the Hornets. He could see extra work in his return with Mo Bamba suspended for the next four games.

Portland Trail Blazers power forward/center Drew Eubanks (left lumbar strain) is probable for Monday versus the Milwaukee Bucks.
