Dallas Mavericks power forward/center Kristaps Porzingis (knee, rest) has been ruled out for Monday's contest against Philadelphia.

Fred VanVleet To Miss Sixth Straight Game

Toronto Raptors point/shooting guard Fred VanVleet (hip) has been listed as unavailable for Tuesday's contest against Atlanta, marking his sixth consecutive absence.

Denver Nuggets point/shooting guard Jamal Murray (knee) has been upgraded to questionable for Monday's contest versus the Warriors due to a sore right knee.
