Milwaukee Bucks forward/center Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) is listed as probable on the injury report ahead of Tuesday's encounter with Charlotte.

Maxi Kleber Probable For Tuesday's Action

Dallas Mavericks forward/center Maxi Kleber (nose) is considered probable for Tuesday's clash with the Cavaliers.

Luka Doncic Probable For Tuesday

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (nose) continues to carry a probable tag on the injury report ahead of Tuesday's encounter with the Cavaliers.

Paolo Banchero Listed As Questionable For Tuesday

Orlando Magic forward Paolo Banchero (illness) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's matchup against Brooklyn.
