Golden State Warriors forward
Jimmy Butler III (thigh) is not listed on the injury report for Tuesday's play-in game against the Memphis Grizzlies. The veteran star injured his left thigh in a collision with Los Angeles Clippers forward
Kawhi Leonard during Sunday's regular-season finale, but he pushed through the issue, and it won't prevent him from playing in Tuesday's crucial game. Butler III recorded his highest-scoring game as a Warrior on Sunday, finishing with 30 points, and he has built up strong momentum for the postseason, averaging 27.3 points over his last three games.

Phoenix Suns guard
Devin Booker is not considering abandoning ship after the team's disappointing season. "I've spoke on it plenty of times," Booker told Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic. "I'm sure the people are sick of hearing my Phoenix love story, but I'm deeply rooting into this community. I take a lot of pride in it. We've built it from the ground up before. I didn't think I'd be back in this situation, but it shows you how hard the league is. Once we get back to that championship level, I'll be able to shed light on people that it can change very quickly." While Booker is adamant about staying, the Suns are poised to undergo major changes, which could include trading
Kevin Durant.

Orlando Magic point guard
Cory Joseph (knee) will be back in action on Tuesday against the Atlanta Hawks. The veteran guard missed Sunday's regular-season finale against the Hawks due to a knee issue, but he is not on the injury report for Tuesday's play-in game. Joseph finished the regular season as Orlando's starting point guard and figures to continue in the role during the postseason. Across 16 starts in 2024-25, Joseph has averaged 6.9 points, 3.0 rebounds, and 2.9 assists in 22.5 minutes.

Orlando Magic forward
Franz Wagner (knee) is set to rejoin the lineup on Tuesday against the Atlanta Hawks. The German star has been dealing with a knee issue lately and missed Orlando's final two regular-season games. However, the team has not listed Wagner on the injury report ahead of Tuesday's matchup. Wagner has scored 20-plus points in each of his last 12 appearances, and the Hawks are well aware of the threat he poses for teams. In three regular-season meetings with Atlanta this season, Wagner averaged 28.0 points, 6.7 rebounds, 4.7 assists, and 1.3 steals.

Orlando Magic forward
Paolo Banchero (ankle) is expected to return to the lineup for Tuesday's play-in game against the Atlanta Hawks. Orlando's rising star missed the final two regular-season games while dealing with an ankle injury. However, he appears to be fully healed now, as the team has not included Banchero's name on the injury report. Banchero caused the Hawks all sorts of trouble during the regular season, averaging 33.3 points, 8.7 rebounds, and 4.3 assists in the matchup. He recorded a double-double in two of his three appearances against them.

Atlanta Hawks forward
Georges Niang (rest) is off the injury report and ready to play on Tuesday against the Orlando Magic. The Hawks rested Niang on Sunday against the Magic but will bring him back into the lineup for the crucial play-in game. After landing in Atlanta from the Cleveland Cavaliers in February, Niang has carved out a solid role for himself in the rotation, posting 12.1 points with 41.3 percent shooting from downtown. Additionally, he has recorded 3.0 rebounds and 1.6 assists per game in 23.0 minutes. However, Niang has notched only 8.0 points in 21.8 minutes against Orlando's tough defense this season.

Atlanta Hawks guard/forward
Caris LeVert (knee) is set to rejoin the lineup on Tuesday against the Orlando Magic, as the team has not listed him on the injury report. LeVert did not play on Sunday against Orlando due to managing a knee injury. Since moving to Atlanta in February, LeVert has provided valuable secondary scoring off the bench for the Hawks, averaging 14.9 points in 26.6 minutes. He has also helped out on the boards, grabbing 3.7 rebounds, while occasionally serving as a playmaker with 2.9 assists delivered. Orlando allows the third-fewest bench points in the league, so it will be a challenge for LeVert to maintain his production on Tuesday night.

Atlanta Hawks center
Onyeka Okongwu (rest) will return to the lineup for Tuesday's play-in game against the Orlando Magic. When Atlanta concluded its regular-season schedule on Sunday against the Magic, Okongwu was kept off the floor for rest purposes. However, his name has not been included on the injury report for Tuesday's game. Okongwu enjoyed a big finish to the regular season and will have a massive role to play again on Tuesday, with
Clint Capela (hand) remaining on the sidelines. Over three prior meetings with the Magic this season, Okongwu has averaged 16.7 points and 9.3 rebounds.

Atlanta Hawks guard/forward
Dyson Daniels (rest) is not listed on the injury report ahead of Tuesday's play-in game against the Orlando Magic. The defensive specialist is ready to rejoin the action after resting on Sunday against Orlando. Daniels missed only six games during the regular season, which helped him rack up a historic amount of steals. The 22-year-old capped off the campaign with 229 steals, the most a player has had in the NBA in the 21st century. Daniels averaged 3.0 steals per game while notching 14.1 points, 5.9 rebounds, and 4.4 assists. He is set to play a crucial role in Atlanta's quest to get back into the playoffs.

Atlanta Hawks center
Clint Capela (hand) will miss his 18th consecutive game on Tuesday against the Orlando Magic. The Swiss big man is still recovering from a hand injury that kept him out for the final month of the regular season. When Capela was diagnosed with a ligament injury in the fourth metacarpal of his left hand, Atlanta announced that he would be re-evaluated in 3-4 weeks. However, there have been no further updates. The Hawks will continue to rely on
Onyeka Okongwu under the rim on Tuesday, with
Dominick Barlow and
Mouhamed Gueye providing backup.

Atlanta Hawks point guard
Trae Young (Achilles) is likely to play in Tuesday's play-in contest against the Orlando Magic, as he is listed as probable on the injury report. Young's name has been on the injury report for the entire campaign, but he ended up missing only six regular-season games. His last absence came on Sunday against the Magic for rest purposes. In previous years, Young has played in four play-in games, averaging 27.3 points and 9.3 assists. However, shooting has always been an issue for him in these high-pressure situations, as the Hawks leader has converted only 26.5 percent of his shots from three-point range.

Charlotte Hornets forward
Brandon Miller was asked during his final press conference whether or not he'd be returning soon. The second-year wing stated that he's not sure when exactly he'll fully return, but they're currently working on his range of motion. Rod Boone of the Charlotte Observer stated that it sounds like Miller is still a few months away. He only appeared in 27 games this season due to a torn ligament in his right wrist, and finished with a stat line of 21.0 points, 4.9 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 1.1 steals, and 3.9 threes per game. Miller is one of the Hornets' core pieces alongside
LaMelo Ball and
Mark Williams, but their issue has been staying on the court so far.

Philadelphia 76ers guard
Kyle Lowry just finished out the remaining year on his contract and will be a free agent this summer. When asked about his plans next season, the Villanova product said he'd like to play one more year. Whether that's in Philly or not remains to be seen. He appeared in 35 games this season and averaged 3.9 points, 2.7 assists, and 1.9 rebounds across 18.8 minutes per game. He played more of a veteran mentor type of role on the bench for
Tyrese Maxey and
Jared McCain. If he accepts the veteran minimum, head coach Nick Nurse may welcome that type of help from a player-coach, but his value doesn't go much higher than that.

Philadelphia 76ers forward
Guerschon Yabusele made a huge impression during the 2024 Olympics, which turned into a contract offer from Daryl Morey and the Sixers' front office. In his first season back in the NBA since 2018-19, Yabusele delivered with averages of 11.0 points, 5.6 rebounds, 2.1 assists, and 1.5 threes per game. He played a solid complementary game to
Joel Embiid when he was able to play, and filled a backup role that the team sorely missed. In a press conference, Daryl Morey said that they loved what Yabusele brought to the team and they would like to retain him this offseason.

San Antonio Spurs guard
De'Aaron Fox (hand) is entering the final year of his deal that he originally signed with the Sacramento Kings. When asked about working out an extension with the Spurs this summer, Fox said, "Yeah, I hope so." The 27-year-old appeared in 62 total games (17 as a Spur) and averaged 23.5 points, 6.3 assists, 4.8 rebounds, and 1.5 steals with shooting splits of .463/.310/.827. Unfortunately, his season was cut short due to tendon damage in his pinkie. It would be hard to imagine that the Spurs don't sign him to an extension after trading for him to become
Victor Wembanyama's running mate, but stranger things have happened in the NBA.
