Cleveland Cavaliers center
Jarrett Allen (knee) has been ruled out for Monday's matchup with the Utah Jazz. This isn't surprising, given that it's the first game of a back-to-back and Allen has just returned from a knee injury. He was limited to 18 minutes on Friday versus Miami but still collected a double-double, scoring 18 points and grabbing 10 rebounds.
Keon Ellis could rejoin the starting unit on Monday, and
Thomas Bryant may pick up a few extra minutes off the bench.

Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward
Jaylen Wells (toe) is scheduled to undergo toe surgery and is expected to miss the rest of the season, Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints reports. He has been diagnosed with a tendon avulsion fracture in his right great toe and will undergo a procedure to stabilize the toe. Wells has already missed three games due to the injury. The 22-year-old sophomore becomes the seventh Grizzlies player to be ruled out for the rest of the season. Wells' absence opens the door for
Rayan Rupert,
Jahmai Mashack, and
DeJon Jarreau to take on expanded roles in the rotation.

Washington Wizards guard
Bub Carrington didn't finish Sunday's loss to the Portland Trail Blazers due to muscle cramping. He left the action in the third quarter, wrapping up his night with 11 points, two rebounds, four assists, one steal, and four turnovers in 22 minutes. Since this was the first game of a back-to-back for Washington, Carrington might sit out Monday's contest against the Los Angeles Lakers.
Tre Johnson (foot) and
Sharife Cooper could have more playing opportunities without Carrington.

Golden State Warriors guard/forward
Will Richard (heel) has been ruled out for Sunday's contest against the Denver Nuggets. His run of 10 consecutive appearances will come to an end due to a sore left heel. Richard started in Golden State's most recent game but made a limited impact in 25 minutes.
De'Anthony Melton (knee) is expected to return to the first unit on Sunday and will look to finish the month strongly. He has notched 14.4 points, 4.6 rebounds, 2.7 assists, and 1.8 steals per game in March.

Golden State Warriors guard
Seth Curry (adductor) will be active on Sunday against the Denver Nuggets. He has recovered from a left adductor strain and could make his first appearance since March 13. Since joining the Warriors in December, Curry has taken the floor just four times. He has finished two of the games scoreless, while netting 27 points in the other two contests. Curry has impressed with a 4-for-7 success rate from deep. His ability to hit threes could be handy for the Warriors in a matchup against a team that allows the eighth-most three-point attempts in the league.

Golden State Warriors center
Quinten Post (foot) has been cleared to return to the lineup on Sunday against the Denver Nuggets. He has been managing a foot injury lately, missing three games. Post will add frontcourt depth to a Warriors team that currently can't count on
Al Horford (calf). The 26-year-old has a tough matchup against
Nikola Jokic on Sunday night. In his previous three clashes with the Nuggets this season, Post has posted averages of 4.7 points, 3.3 rebounds, and 1.7 assists in 15.0 minutes per game.

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.

March 29, 2026
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.

March 29, 2026
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.
--Taavi PailkSource: NBA Injury Report
March 29, 2026
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.

March 29, 2026
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.
--Taavi PailkSource: NBA Injury Report
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.
