• Patrick Williams (ankle) — Out

• Torrey Craig (foot) — Injured

• Lonzo Ball (knee) — Out for season

The Bulls have been without LaVine for 17 consecutive games, while Vucevic has missed the previous five outings, but both could make their return against Charlotte. White has shown real promise sans LaVine, as he's averaged 22.4 points, 5.9 rebounds, and 5.8 assists since LaVine went down. Meanwhile, Drummond has seen an increased role in the absence of Vucevic, averaging 14.0 points and 19.4 rebounds per contest. Whoever starts at center for Chicago will have an enticing matchup against the Hornets, who give up the second most points (26.2) and rebounds per game (16.8) to centers.

• Markieff Morris (illness) — Out

• Dante Exum (heel) — Out

• Richaun Holmes (personal) — Out

• Maxi Kleber (toe) — Injured

Lively II suffered his injury in the most recent game, and it was bad enough to force an early exit. However, coach Kidd mentioned after that contest that the ankle sprain was "mild," which ultimately contributed to Lively II having a chance to play in this upcoming outing. If he is sidelined, Dwight Powell could draw a spot start at center. Dallas has won 19 of 29 games with Lively II available, but just one of 6 when he's been sidelined.

• Kevin Durant (hamstring) — Out

• Eric Gordon (knee) — Out

• Nassir Little (knee) — Out

• Damion Lee (knee) — Injured

Durant has missed the last two games but managed to partially practice on Thursday. The Suns split those outings sans Durant, winning and losing one contest. They'll match up against the Heat, who will be without their best player in Butler. Miami has won six of their 10 outings this season in which Butler has been unavailable. If Durant is sidelined, Bradley Beal should garner more usage, as Beal has seen a +4.3% usage rate increase whenever he plays and Durant sits.

After the previous outing, a report was published by Shams Charania and Jovan Buha of The Athletic that cited anonymous sources who spoke about the state of the Lakers' locker room. These sources noted a "deepening disconnect" between coach Ham and his players. "... the disjointedness between the coach and team has stemmed from the extreme rotation and starting lineup adjustments recently from Ham, leading to a fluctuating rhythm for several players across the roster," sources say. Ham recently stated that a specific lineup would be in place "for the foreseeable future," but that was quickly altered as the unit included Hachimura, who got injured in the subsequent game.
