Confirmed Lineup: Tyrese Maxey, Kyle Lowry, Kelly Oubre, Tobias Harris, Mo Bamba
Tyrese Maxey (concussion) — Not on injury report
Joel Embiid (knee) — Injured
Robert Covington (knee) — Injured
De'Anthony Melton (back) — Injured
Maxey has cleared concussion protocol and will be available Tuesday against the Knicks. He's missed four straight games, but for the two immediately prior to that, he was in the starting lineup alongside Lowry, who figures to remain there. Buddy Hield came off the bench for the first time as a Sixer in the team's last game, meaning Oubre could also remain in the starting lineup ahead of Hield even with Maxey back.
Confirmed Lineup: Jalen Brunson, Donte DiVincenzo, Josh Hart, OG Anunoby, Isaiah Hartenstein
OG Anunoby (elbow) — In
Julius Randle (shoulder) — Injured
Mitchell Robinson (ankle) — Injured
Anunoby is looking to return following his right elbow surgery. He's been out since January 27 with an elbow injury, which he had the surgery to repair in early February. His integration into the rotation alongside Bojan Bogdanovic and Alec Burks will be worth watching. One of DiVincenzo, Hart, or Precious Achiuwa will go to the bench, and all three have been playing big minutes with Anunoby and Julius Randle (shoulder) out. The matchup against the small 76ers, who have been playing Tobias Harris at the four, could indicate that Achiuwa is likeliest to play off the bench if Anunoby returns Tuesday.
Confirmed Lineup: Tyrese Haliburton, Andrew Nembhard, Aaron Nesmith, Pascal Siakam, Myles Turner
Jalen Smith (illness) — Not on injury report
James Johnson (illness) — Out
Doug McDermott (calf) — Out
Bennedict Mathurin (shoulder) — Out for season
Confirmed Lineup: Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Josh Giddey, Lu Dort, Gordon Hayward, Chet Holmgren
Jalen Williams (ankle) — Out
Williams was injured during the second quarter of Sunday's game, and he didn't return after just 10 minutes against the Grizzlies. After sending some concerning social media posts that featured an image of his head in his hands, it appears to be good news that he is questionable against Indiana as opposed to suffering a more serious injury that would have ruled him out right away.
Cason Wallace would likely start if Williams were unavailable on Tuesday; Wallace finished with 22 points and 27 minutes after starting the second half for Williams on Sunday. Williams has missed just six games in his second NBA season. He's second among all sophomores in scoring at 19.0 points per game, trailing only Paolo Banchero.
Confirmed Lineup: Tyus Jones, Corey Kispert, Bilal Coulibaly, Deni Avdija, Kyle Kuzma
Richaun Holmes (toe) — Out
Landry Shamet (calf) — Out
Marvin Bagley (back) — Injured
Isaiah Livers (hip) — Out for season
Confirmed Lineup: Jordan Goodwin, Luke Kennard, John Konchar, Santi Aldama, Trey Jemison
John Konchar (ankle) — Available
Lamar Stevens (adductor) — Out
Jordan Goodwin (Achilles) — Available
Scotty Pippen Jr. (back) — Out
Jaren Jackson Jr. (quad) — Out
Vince Williams (knee) — Out
Yuta Watanabe (wrist) — Out
Desmond Bane (ankle) — Injured
Marcus Smart (finger) — Injured
Ziaire Williams (hip, back) — Injured
Derrick Rose (back, groin) — Injured
Brandon Clarke (Achilles) — Injured
Ja Morant (shoulder) — Out for season
There are 13 players on the Grizzlies' injury report for Tuesday. If all the doubtful and questionable players miss, Memphis would have just seven healthy bodies against Washington: Kennard, LaRavia, Aldama, Jemison, DeJon Jarreau, GG Jackson, and Wenyen Gabriel.
Confirmed Lineup: Fred VanVleet, Jalen Green, Amen Thompson, Dillon Brooks, Jabari Smith Jr.
Cam Whitmore (knee) — Injured
Alperen Sengun (ankle, knee) — Injured
Tari Eason (leg) — Out for season
Steven Adams (knee) — Out for season
Sengun has been diagnosed with a severely sprained ankle and a bone bruise on his knee. He appears to have dodged a major bullet after there were early concerns he had damaged his knee ligaments, so even though the nature of his injury does not bode well for his short-term availability, it could have been far worse. ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski has reported that he has not yet been ruled out for the full season, but he would need to heal significantly in order to play again this campaign. Jeff Green appears likely to start at center in Sengun's absence, but Houston could also start Jock Landale, or shift Jabari Smith Jr. down to the five.
Confirmed Lineup: Tre Jones, Devin Vassell, Julian Champagnie, Jeremy Sochan, Victor Wembanyama
Victor Wembanyama (ankle) — Not on injury report
Keldon Johnson (illness) — Out
Cedi Osman (ankle) — Out for season
Charles Bassey (knee) — Out for season
Wembanyama is not listed on the injury report Tuesday, and he'll play on the second night of a back-to-back. He returned Monday after a two-game absence due to a sprained right ankle, playing 31 minutes in a loss to the Warriors. He regularly did not play both ends of back-to-backs earlier in the season but has suited up in each of the last four occurrences for San Antonio. He'll make it five after this news, but Shams Charania of The Athletic and Stadium cautions that the number of minutes he will play could depend on game flow and how his ankle feels.
Confirmed Lineup: Jrue Holiday, Derrick White, Sam Hauser, Jayson Tatum, Luke Kornet
Jrue Holiday (knee) — Not on injury report
Svi Mykhailiuk (personal) — Available
Jaylen Brown (back) — Out
Kristaps Porzingis (hamstring) — Out
Al Horford (injury management) — Out
Confirmed Lineup: Keyonte George, Collin Sexton, Brice Sensabaugh, Luka Samanic, John Collins
Darius Bazley (signed) — Inactive
Kenneth Lofton Jr. (signed) — Available
Lauri Markkanen (quad) — Out
Taylor Hendricks (toe) — Injured
Confirmed Lineup: Damian Lillard, Malik Beasley, Jae Crowder, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Brook Lopez
Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) — Available
Khris Middleton (ankle) — Out
AJ Green (ankle) — Available
MarJon Beauchamp (back) — Out
Middleton is looking to play for the first time since February 6 after being upgraded to questionable. He's missed 14 straight games. Milwaukee has gone 9-5 without him, a bit of a turnaround following a 1-4 start under Doc Rivers. Middleton's potential return would send Crowder to the bench, but the Bucks have shown extreme restraint in bringing him along from injury in the past, and it would not be surprising to see him be minutes-limited or play off the bench when he does return to the court.
Meanwhile, Antetokounmpo has been on the injury report multiple times since early February with this knee listing, but has not missed a game with it as of yet. His lone absence since January 20 was for left Achilles tendinitis. Since first appearing on the injury report with right knee tendinitis on February 4, he's averaged 29.4 points, 10.3 rebounds, and 7.2 assists in 34.1 minutes per game. Expect him to be at full strength against the Kings.
Confirmed Lineup: De'Aaron Fox, Keon Ellis, Kevin Huerter, Harrison Barnes, Domantas Sabonis
Keegan Murray (ankle) — Out
Sasha Vezenkov (ankle) — Injured
Confirmed Lineup: Mike Conley, Anthony Edwards, Jaden McDaniels, Kyle Anderson, Rudy Gobert

Rudy Gobert (hamstring) — In

Monte Morris (hamstring) — Out
Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) — Injured
Jaylen Clark (Achilles) — Injured
Confirmed Lineup: James Harden, Terance Mann, Paul George, Kawhi Leonard, Ivica Zubac
Kawhi Leonard (groin) — In
Paul George (knee) — In
Russell Westbrook (hand) — Injured
