Oklahoma City Thunder News

Confirmed Lineup: Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Cason Wallace, Josh Giddey, Lu Dort, Chet Holmgren

• Lindy Waters III (back) — Available

• Jalen Williams (hip) — Out

Oklahoma City's +9.0 Net Rating leads the league. Despite being without Jalen Williams, their +30.7 Net Rating over the last two outings was the best mark league-wide. They'll face the 76ers, whose +6.7 Net Rating also ranks top-three. Gilgeous-Alexander has led the Thunder in scoring in thirteen of fifteen games, including each of the last nine outings.

Miami Heat News

Confirmed Lineup: Kyle Lowry, Josh Richardson, Jaime Jaquez, Haywood Highsmith, Thomas Bryant

• Jimmy Butler (ankle) — Out

• Bam Adebayo (hip) — Out

• Duncan Robinson (thumb) — Out

• Tyler Herro (ankle) — Injured

• RJ Hampton (knee) — Injured

• Dru Smith (knee) — Out for season

An MRI revealed a third-degree ACL sprain for Smith, who will miss the rest of the season. Robinson also received imaging that confirmed a sprained right thumb, and he is considered day-to-day. Since Herro went down earlier this month, Smith has been the next man up when Lowry or Butler have rested. In the last game, Josh Richardson started and played a season-high 34 minutes, and he figures to retain that extended role until the team gets healthier.

Los Angeles Lakers News

Confirmed Lineup: D'Angelo Russell, Max Christie, Taurean Prince, LeBron James, Anthony Davis

• LeBron James (calf) — Available

• Anthony Davis (adductor, hip) — Available

• Cam Reddish (groin) — Out

• Rui Hachimura (nose) — Injured

• Gabe Vincent (knee) — Injured

• Jarred Vanderbilt (heel) — Injured

James has been on the injury report for the last six games but ultimately played in each outing. It's been similar for Davis, who has been listed for the previous eight contests and was available each time. Their listings are seemingly more procedural, as James has played at least 35 minutes in four of his last five games. They'll have less depth behind them in the interim, with Hachimura set to miss at least a week after undergoing a nasal procedure.

Cleveland Cavaliers News

Confirmed Lineup: Darius Garland, Donovan Mitchell, Max Strus, Evan Mobley, Jarrett Allen

• Donovan Mitchell (hamstring) — Available

• Isaac Okoro (injury management) — Available

• Dean Wade (ankle) — Out

• Ty Jerome (ankle) — Injured

• Ricky Rubio (personal) — NWT

Mitchell managed to practice on Friday after missing the previous four contests. Over that span of outings, Garland led the team in points per game (25.0) and usage rate (32.8%), while the Cavs scored 111.8 points per game. Mitchell's final status will be critical in a matchup with the Lakers, who have allowed the fourth-fewest points per game (105.4) league-wide over the last five contests.

New Orleans Pelicans News

Confirmed Lineup: Dyson Daniels, Jordan Hawkins, Herb Jones, Brandon Ingram, Jonas Valanciunas

• Zion Williamson (rest) — Out

Utah Jazz News

Confirmed Lineup: Keyonte George, Kris Dunn, Simone Fontecchio, John Collins, Omer Yurtseven

• Lauri Markkanen (hamstring) — Out

• Walker Kessler (elbow) — In

• Jordan Clarkson (illness) — Out

Markkanen is in danger of missing an outing for the first time this season, but Kessler could return after a seven-game absence. Even with Kessler missing time, the Jazz average the third-most rebounds per game (47.0) league-wide. Collins' and Markkanen's respective 9.0 and 8.6 rebounds per contest are team-highs. Utah will face a Pelicans team that grabs 44.5 rebounds per game, despite Jonas Valanciunas' 8.9 per outing being his fewest in the last five seasons.
