Confirmed Lineup: Tyrese Haliburton, Andrew Nembhard, Aaron Nesmith, Pascal Siakam, Myles Turner
Tyrese Haliburton (injury management) — Available
James Johnson (illness) — Out
Jalen Smith (back) — Out
If Haliburton plays, he will likely remain on somewhat of a minute limit, but that limit does seem to be increasing. In the previous game, he played 30 minutes for the first time in his last seven appearances. His presence would be valued against the Hornets, but Indiana could likely compete with Charlottle regardless of Haliburton's final status. The Hornets have lost nine of their last 10 games, and their -15.2 Net Rating over that span has been the league's worst.

Alperen Sengun (back) — In
Cam Whitmore (ankle) — Out
Fred VanVleet (adductor) — Injured
Tari Eason (leg) — Injured
Steven Adams (knee) — Out for season
If Sengun can't suit up, it would mark his second missed game of the season, as he didn't play in the last contest. Jeff Green started at center and would be expected to do so again if Sengun remains sidelined. Jock Landale would likely remain in the rotation in that scenario after receiving 13 minutes in the previous outing. The Rockets will host the Knicks, who continue to be hampered by injuries.
Confirmed Lineup: CJ McCollum, Herb Jones, Brandon Ingram, Zion Williamson, Jonas Valanciunas
Zion Williamson (foot) — Available
Cody Zeller (knee) — Out
Dyson Daniels (knee) — Injured
Williamson missed the previous outing, and the Pelicans still won despite scoring just 93 points. New Orleans has won five of their last six after a three-game losing streak. They'll face the Grizzlies, who are amid an eight-game skid. If Williamson can play, he'll need to defend better in the frontcourt than he has recently, as Jaren Jackson Jr. has averaged 27.3 points per contest through four games this month.
Confirmed Lineup: Scotty Pippen Jr., John Konchar, Vince Williams, Santi Aldama, Jaren Jackson Jr.
Derrick Rose (ankle) — Out
Ziaire Williams (hand) — Out

Maxi Kleber (nose) — Available
Dante Exum (knee) — Out
Dereck Lively II (nose) — Out
After combining to score 57 points in the previous outing, it appears that Doncic and Irving will be ready to play against the Wizards. Dallas has won four consecutive outings, including the most recent contest when they beat the Thunder by 35. The Mavs' 123.4 Offensive Rating in February has been the league's second-best. Meanwhile, the Wizards' season-long 119.7 Defensive Rating ranks as the fourth-worst.
