The Celtics have won all three games they've played sans Brown this season. If he can't suit up against the Grizzlies, look for Tatum to garner more usage. Tatum has posted a 29.9% usage rate when playing with Brown, which has increased to 33.0% when Brown's been unavailable. Memphis has lost four consecutive games, and their top scorer in each of those four outings, Jaren Jackson Jr. (hip), will be sidelined.
Confirmed Lineup: Tyrese Haliburton, Andrew Nembhard, Aaron Nesmith, Pascal Siakam, Myles Turner
Tyrese Haliburton (injury management, back) — Available
Myles Turner (ankle) — Available
Jalen Smith (back) — Available
Bennedict Mathurin (toe) — Available
Haliburton has had his minutes limited since returning from an extended absence, as he's played 22 minutes in each of the last three games. Whether or not he is sidelined for Sunday's game, the Pacers will likely continue to feel the aftereffects of his injury. Luckily, Indiana will face the Hornets, who will be without LaMelo Ball (ankle). Charlotte has lost its last six outings and 17 of its previous 20.
Confirmed Lineup: Ish Smith, Bryce McGowens, Brandon Miller, Miles Bridges, Nick Richards
Cody Martin (knee) — Out
Frank Ntilikina (hip) — Out
LaMelo Ball (ankle) — Out
Kyle Lowry (acquired) — Out
Gordon Hayward (calf) — Injured
Mark Williams (back) — Injured
Confirmed Lineup: James Harden, Terance Mann, Paul George, Kawhi Leonard, Ivica Zubac
Ivica Zubac (calf) — In
Moussa Diabate (hand) — Injured
Zubac has been sidelined for the previous nine games. Over that span, the Clippers have gone 7-2, and their 123.8 Offensive Rating has been the league's best. Despite those numbers, the Clippers are a better team with Zubac on the floor. He would be helpful against the Heat, who have won two consecutive games after losing seven in a row. The last time the Clippers faced Miami, they won by 17 points, led by a combined 47 points from George and Leonard.
Confirmed Lineup: Terry Rozier, Josh Richardson, Jimmy Butler, Haywood Highsmith, Bam Adebayo
Tyler Herro (headache) — Out
Jamal Cain (illness) — Available
Duncan Robinson (concussion protocol) — Out
Dru Smith (knee) — Out for season
Confirmed Lineup: Fred VanVleet, Jalen Green, Dillon Brooks, Jabari Smith Jr., Alperen Sengun
Jock Landale (wrist) — Available
Tari Eason (leg) — Injured
Steven Adams (knee) — Out for season
Confirmed Lineup: Mike Conley, Anthony Edwards, Jaden McDaniels, Karl-Anthony Towns, Rudy Gobert
Rudy Gobert (ankle) — In
Jaylen Clark (Achilles) — Injured
Confirmed Lineup: Immanuel Quickley, Gary Trent Jr., RJ Barrett, Scottie Barnes, Jakob Poeltl
RJ Barrett (knee) — In
Jontay Porter (back) — Out
Since joining the Raptors on the first of January, Barrett has averaged a team-high 21.0 points per game, but Toronto has won just five of 16 games over that span. If Barrett can't suit up, the Raptors will have to look elsewhere for scoring against a Thunder team whose 111.0 Defensive Rating is the third-best league-wide. However, Oklahoma City's starting lineup and bench will be a bit hampered by injuries, which should result in Toronto being more competitive throughout the contest.
Confirmed Lineup: Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Cason Wallace, Josh Giddey, Lu Dort, Chet Holmgren
Tre Mann (personal) — Out
Jalen Williams (ankle) — Out
Isaiah Joe (sternum) — Out
