Orlando Magic News

Confirmed Lineup: Markelle Fultz, Gary Harris, Franz Wagner, Paolo Banchero, Wendell Carter Jr.

• Chuma Okeke (knee) — Injured

The 76ers have posted the third-highest offensive rating (123.2) in the league as they've gone 9-1 in their last ten games, and Philadelphia's season-long offensive rating (116.6) ranks fifth league-wide. Despite a 5-11 record against teams with top-ten offensive ratings, the Magic have limited those opponents to the fifth-fewest points per 100 possessions (114.3) in what have typically been lower-scoring contests.

Philadelphia 76ers News

Confirmed Lineup: James Harden, De'Anthony Melton, Tobias Harris, PJ Tucker, Joel Embiid

• Joel Embiid (foot) — In

Montrezl Harrell and Paul Reed split center minutes nearly evenly when Embiid missed the first two matchups against Orlando earlier in the season, but Harrell's chemistry with Harden has given him the edge over Reed when Embiid has been sidelined lately. In the previous three contests Embiid missed while Harden was available, Harris (+3.4%) and Harden (+2.6%) posted positive usage differentials, while Tyrese Maxey led the team with a +5.0% assist rate differential.

• LeBron James (ankle) — Out

• Anthony Davis (foot) — Out

• Lonnie Walker (knee) — Available

• Austin Reaves (hamstring) — Injured

Schroder, Walker, Rui Hachimura, and Russell Westbrook figure to be central to the Lakers' offensive efforts. In games James and Davis have missed this season, Westbrook (34.5%) and Schroder (16.7%) have posted the highest assist rates on the team.

Brooklyn Nets News

Confirmed Lineup: Kyrie Irving, Seth Curry, Joe Harris, Royce O'Neale, Nic Claxton

• Ben Simmons (knee) — Out

• TJ Warren (shin) — Out

• Kevin Durant (knee) — Injured

The Nets played increasingly more through Claxton (who set a career-high with six assists) and Irving in Simmons' absence Saturday. Irving contributed 32 points, six rebounds, and nine assists on 12-for-27 shooting and has now recorded the tenth-highest usage rate (32.1%) in the league since Durant was injured.

Sacramento Kings News

Confirmed Lineup: De'Aaron Fox, Kevin Huerter, Harrison Barnes, Keegan Murray, Domantas Sabonis

• Deonte Burton (signed) — TBD

Fox ramped up his aggression in Sacramento's 117-110 road loss to Minnesota on Saturday, scoring 29 points on 10-for-24 from the floor and eight-for-10 from the line. Sabonis scored 23 points on nine-for-13 from the floor and five-for-eight from the line, which tied a career-high for points against a team that employs Rudy Gobert. The Kings shot nine-for-33 (27.3%) from three against a Timberwolves team that struggled to defend those looks, which was the biggest difference in the game.

• Kristaps Porzingis (ankle) — Not on injury report

• Josh Richardson (knee) — Out

• Romeo Langford (adductor) — Out

Dallas Mavericks News

Confirmed Lineup: Luka Doncic, Spencer Dinwiddie, Tim Hardaway Jr., Dorian Finney-Smith, Dwight Powell

• Luka Doncic (ankle) — Available

• Christian Wood (thumb) — Injured

• Maxi Kleber (hamstring) — Injured

With Doncic sidelined Saturday, Dinwiddie led the Mavs with 34.4% usage and eight assists as Jaden Hardy played only 5.1 minutes. Josh Green and Reggie Bullock played more significant offensive roles, while Hardaway Jr. and Finney-Smith's remained stable.

Toronto Raptors News

Confirmed Lineup: Fred VanVleet, Gary Trent Jr., Scottie Barnes, Pascal Siakam, Precious Achiuwa

• OG Anunoby (wrist) — Injured

• Dalano Banton (hip) — Questionable

• Otto Porter (toe) — Injured

Achiuwa should continue to start in Anunoby's stead after thriving Saturday, contributing 27 points and 13 rebounds on 11-for-16 shooting in 33.4 minutes. The remaining starters could continue to play additional time in a thinned rotation, but their usage should remain static if Achiuwa continues to play a more prominent offensive role.

Phoenix Suns News

Confirmed Lineup: Chris Paul, Mikal Bridges, Torrey Craig, Cam Johnson, Deandre Ayton

• Landry Shamet (foot) — Out

• Cam Payne (foot) — Injured

• Devin Booker (groin) — Injured

Ayton (32.5%) and Paul (24.1%) have registered heightened usage as they played more central roles during the previous two games. However, Phoenix's offense could be more balanced against a Raptors team that has allowed forwards to make the most threes per game (9.8) this season.

Hunter (24.2%) and Bogdanovic (24.1%) registered heightened usage rates in that contest, while Murray (22.3%) and Collins (15.7%) posted reduced usage rates.
