3/20/2023 Jae'Sean Tate, HOU, F
Tate (rest) won't play Monday against the Warriors in the second half of a back-to-back.

Analysis: Tate scored just two points on 1-of-4 shooting in 22 minutes in Sunday's loss to New Orleans after averaging 12.1 points on 53.4% shooting in his previous seven games.
3/20/2023 Tim Hardaway Jr., DAL, G-F
Hardaway (illness) is questionable to play at Memphis.

Analysis: Hardaway sat out last Wednesday's win at San Antonio due to an injured left calf before returning in Friday's win over the Lakers, finishing with 12 points and four rebounds in 27 minutes off the bench. Justin Holiday and McKinley Wright IV could see more minutes should Hardaway sit.
3/20/2023 Kyle Kuzma, WAS, F
Kuzma (right ankle sprain) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game at Orlando.

Analysis: Kuzma had 33 points in 32 minutes in Saturday's loss to the Kings but evidently tweaked his ankle in the process. Expect Deni Avdija, Anthony Gill and Corey Kispert to see more minutes with Kuzma out.
3/20/2023 Alperen Sengun, HOU, C
Sengun (illness) is questionable for Monday against the Warriors.

Analysis: Sengun had nine points, seven rebounds and six assists in 31 minutes in Sunday's loss to the Pelicans, but is now dealing with an illness. If he can't play, Usman Garuba could get the start but he's unlikely to offer much fantasy-wise.
3/20/2023 Jalen Green, HOU, SG
Green (thigh contusion) is questionable for Monday against the Warriors.

Analysis: Green had 40 points in 40 minutes in Sunday's loss to New Orleans but evidently hurt his thigh in the process. It also could just be a day off in the second half of a back-to-back for Green, who has played at least 35 minutes in each of Houston's last seven games. The Rockets are already resting Jae'Sean Tate, so Josh Christopher could see an increased role.
3/20/2023 Tre Jones, SAS, PG
Jones (right hamstring contusion) is doubtful to play Tuesday at New Orleans, the first half of a back-to-back.

Analysis: The Spurs are back on the court Wednesday at Milwaukee, so Jones has a good chance of returning then.
3/20/2023 Zach Collins, SAS, F-C
Collins (rest) won't play Tuesday at New Orleans, the first half of a back-to-back.

Analysis: Collins just got the night off last Wednesday in the second half of a back-to-back and Sandro Mamukelashvili made his first start of the season in his place, scoring six points while grabbing a career-high 14 rebounds in 23 minutes.
3/20/2023 Devin Vassell, SAS, G-F
Vassell (left knee injury management) won't play Tuesday at New Orleans, the first half of a back-to-back.

Analysis: Vassell, who has scored 54 points in San Antonio's last two games, should be back on the court Wednesday at Milwaukee.
3/19/2023 Trae Young, ATL, PG
Young is playing Sunday against San Antonio after being listed as questionable due to a right knee contusion.

Analysis: Young, who had 25 points and 12 assists in 32 minutes in Friday's win over the Warriors, had 24 points and a season-high 17 assists in Atlanta's last game against San Antonio, a 125-106 win on Feb. 11.
3/19/2023 Jeremy Sochan, SAS, PF
Sochan (right knee soreness) will sit out when the Spurs visit New Orleans on Tuesday.

Analysis: Sochan has been in and out of the lineup recently and left Friday's loss to Memphis in the first quarter with the knee issue. Doug McDermott and Sandro Mamukelashvili might play more minutes.
3/19/2023 Deandre Ayton, PHX, C
Ayton (right hip contusion) will not play in Sunday's game at Oklahoma City.

Analysis: Jock Landale and Bismack Biyombo should soak up Ayton's minutes.
3/19/2023 Zach Collins, SAS, F-C
Collins (biceps) will play Sunday against the Hawks after being listed as questionable.

Analysis: Collins just got the night off on Wednesday in the second half of a back-to-back and Sandro Mamukelashvili made his first start of the season in his place, scoring six points while grabbing a career-high 14 rebounds in 23 minutes. Collins returned Friday, finishing with 14 points and eight boards in 36 minutes.
3/19/2023 Lauri Markkanen, UTA, F
Markkanen (back soreness) has been ruled out for Monday against the Kings.

Analysis: Markkanen is averaging 28.6 points and 8.4 rebounds in five games since sitting out a loss at Oklahoma City on March 5 due to the sore back. Talen Horton-Tucker is averaging 21.8 points and 5.6 boards in the last five games and will likely have a larger role in Utah's offense with Markkanen out.
3/19/2023 Jamal Murray, DEN, G
Jamal Murray scored 25 points Sunday, going 9 of 19 from the field, as the Denver Nuggets defeated the Brooklyn Nets 108-102. Murray pulled down one rebound and had eight assists, accumulating a plus-minus of +8 in his 37:00 on the floor. Murray went 4 of 4 from 3-point range.
3/19/2023 Bruce Brown, DEN, F
