Denver Nuggets forward/center
Aaron Gordon (calf) won't be in action on Sunday night against the Golden State Warriors, Bennett Durando of The Denver Post reports. He was a late addition to the injury report due to left calf tightness and won't be able to help his team after failing to shake off a questionable tag. The trio of
Cameron Johnson,
Peyton Watson, and
Spencer Jones should absorb Gordon's minutes.

Detroit Pistons forward
Tobias Harris (hip) will likely sit out Monday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder, as the team has listed him as doubtful. The veteran is managing a hip injury and appears to be scheduled for a maintenance day.
Jalen Duren (knee) and
Duncan Robinson (hip) are also considered doubtful, while
Ausar Thompson (ankle) carries a questionable tag on the injury report. Consequently,
Ron Holland II,
Javonte Green,
Kevin Huerter, and
Caris LeVert could all take on more prominent roles against the defending champions.

Detroit Pistons guard/forward
Ausar Thompson (ankle) has been tagged as questionable on the injury report ahead of Monday's meeting with the Oklahoma City Thunder. Detroit will begin a back-to-back set and has some decisions to make. Thompson is managing a right ankle injury, so he's likely to sit out at least one of the upcoming games.
Kevin Huerter,
Ron Holland II, and
Javonte Green could all see more time on the court in Thompson's absence. Even if Thompson is in the lineup, the trio might still have expanded roles, as the Pistons are poised to head out with a new-look starting lineup.
Jalen Duren (knee),
Duncan Robinson (hip), and
Tobias Harris (hip) are all unlikely to play.

Detroit Pistons center
Jalen Duren (knee) is considered doubtful for Monday's clash against the Oklahoma City Thunder. The first-year All-Star has played through a right knee injury recently and appears to be trending toward a rest day. Detroit's frontcourt is still without
Isaiah Stewart (calf), so it could be a big night for
Paul Reed. The former G League MVP is poised to make his ninth start of the season. In a starting role, Paul has provided 13.9 points, 7.8 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 1.8 blocks, and 1.2 steals per game. There could also be a significant role for
Tolu Smith.

New Orleans Pelicans guard/forward
Trey Murphy III (ankle) won't return to action on Sunday against the Houston Rockets. He has been ruled out for a third consecutive game after carrying a questionable tag on the initial injury report. With Murphy III out,
Yves Missi was brought back into the starting lineup on Friday against Toronto. Unfortunately, he didn't make a significant impact, and it's possible the Pelicans will switch things up again on Sunday.
Zion Williamson,
Saddiq Bey, and the returning
Dejounte Murray should get plenty of offensive touches without Murphy II.

New Orleans Pelicans guard
Dejounte Murray (hand) will play on Sunday night against the Houston Rockets. After hurting his left hand, Murray was initially listed as questionable on the injury report. Since recovering from a torn Achilles, Murray has posted strong numbers. He has averaged 17.2 points, 5.3 rebounds, 6.5 assists, and 1.7 steals across 12 appearances. Murray's return will probably send
Jeremiah Fears back to the second unit, but he should still play a significant role.

March 29, 2026
New York Knicks guard
Miles McBride (pelvic) will return to action on Sunday night against the Oklahoma City Thunder, Stefan Bondy of the New York Post reports. He hasn't played since late January and underwent sports hernia surgery in February. According to Knicks head coach Mike Brown, McBride will have a minutes limit in Sunday's game. McBride's return will complicate the situation for
Jose Alvarado and
Jordan Clarkson. Although the mid-season injury was a setback for him, McBride has had a career year in New York, averaging 12.9 points, 2.6 rebounds, and 2.8 assists in 28.0 minutes per game.

Minnesota Timberwolves forward
Jaden McDaniels (knee) will miss a second straight game on Monday against the Dallas Mavericks. The 25-year-old had sat out only two games this season before a left knee issue took him out of the lineup this week. As a result,
Terrence Shannon Jr. started on Saturday against Detroit, but his contributions were limited to eight points, three rebounds, and three assists.
Jaylen Clark, who tallied nine points and four rebounds against the Pistons, also has a chance to play more until McDaniels returns.

March 29, 2026
Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward
Anthony Edwards (knee) is listed as questionable for Monday's tilt against the Dallas Mavericks. He has missed six games with a knee injury but is on the cusp of returning. With
Ayo Dosunmu (calf) also on the shelf,
Mike Conley has started back-to-back games. On Monday, the veteran could fall out of the rotation if both Edwards and Dosunmu return. Boney Hyland's role will also change once the Timberwolves are back at full strength.

March 29, 2026
Toronto Raptors forward/center
Collin Murray-Boyles (back) will miss Sunday's game against the Orlando Magic. The 20-year-old rookie injured his back during Friday's win over New Orleans. He was initially expected to play on Sunday, but it looks like Murray-Boyles didn't feel comfortable enough during the warmups. With him unavailable,
Sandro Mamukelashvili should see plenty of minutes on Sunday as the backup to starting center
Jakob Poeltl. Mamukelashvili has scored double-digit points in three consecutive games and had 18 points with nine rebounds, two assists, one steal, and one block on Friday.

March 29, 2026
Toronto Raptors guard/forward
Brandon Ingram (heel) will not suit up on Sunday against the Orlando Magic, Sportsnet's Michael Grange reports. He was initially expected to play but won't be available for action due to right heel inflammation.
Jamal Shead will start in Ingram's place. As a member of the first unit, Shead has recorded 11.7 points, 7.9 assists, and 1.1 steals per game this season. With
Immanuel Quickley (foot) also out, Shead should have an active role on offense against a team that has struggled to contain point guards.
--Taavi PailkSource: Michael Grange
March 29, 2026
Toronto Raptors guard/forward
RJ Barrett (shoulder) will play in Sunday's contest against the Orlando Magic. He injured his left shoulder during Friday's win over New Orleans and was initially listed as questionable on the injury report. He was then upgraded to probable, and Toronto has now listed Barrett as available. Barrett has been sharp over his last 10 outings, averaging 20.1 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 3.0 assists, hitting nearly 52 percent of his field-goal attempts.
--Taavi PailkSource: NBA Injury Report
March 29, 2026
Portland Trail Blazers center
Robert Williams III (back) will be in the lineup on Sunday against the Washington Wizards. The team has upgraded Williams III's status from questionable to available. This is a juicy matchup for Williams III and starting center
Donovan Clingan, as Washington has had trouble containing big men all year. In March, Williams III has averaged 8.2 points, 8.6 rebounds, and 1.6 blocks in 19.0 minutes per game.
--Taavi PailkSource: NBA Injury Report
March 29, 2026
Sacramento Kings guard
Malik Monk (shoulder) will sit out Sunday's matchup with the Brooklyn Nets. He will exit the lineup due to a shoulder contusion after having 10 points and seven assists in 27 minutes on Saturday against Atlanta. Sacramento will also roll without
DeMar DeRozan (hamstring), creating two openings in the starting lineup.
Nique Clifford and
Daeqwon Plowden are the leading candidates to join the first unit. Monk's absence should also give
Devin Carter and
DaQuan Jeffries more playing time.
--Taavi PailkSource: NBA Injury Report
March 29, 2026
Sacramento Kings guard/forward
DeMar DeRozan will miss the second leg of a back-to-back on Sunday against the Brooklyn Nets. The veteran star has been listed as out with a sore right hamstring.
Nique Clifford and
Daeqwon Plowden will benefit from DeRozan's absence, and the team may bring
Doug McDermott back into the rotation as well.
Malik Monk (shoulder) has also been ruled out, so there will be at least two changes to the starting lineup compared to Saturday's loss to Atlanta.
