Confirmed Lineup: Devin Booker, Bradley Beal, Grayson Allen, Kevin Durant, Jusuf Nurkic
Josh Okogie (abdomen) — Out
Damion Lee (knee) — Injured
Confirmed Lineup: Damian Lillard, Malik Beasley, Khris Middleton, Jae Crowder, Brook Lopez
Khris Middleton (ankle) — Not on injury report
Giannis Antetokounmpo (hamstring) — Out
Malik Beasley (back) — Likely to play
MarJon Beauchamp (back) — Questionable
Chris Livingston (ankle) — Out
The Bucks could have a tough time against the Suns if Antetokounmpo doesn't suit up. He's missed just three games this season, and while Milwaukee has managed to go 2-1 in those outings, they've also averaged 8.8 fewer points per game. If Antetokounmpo does sit, Lillard will likely dominate the ball a bit more than usual. When Antetokounmpo has been unavailable this season, Lillard has had a team-high 38.5% usage rate.
Confirmed Lineup: Terry Rozier, Duncan Robinson, Jaime Jaquez Jr., Haywood Highsmith, Bam Adebayo
Jimmy Butler (foot) — Out
Nikola Jovic (hamstring) — Out
Tyler Herro (foot) — Injured
Kevin Love (heel) — Injured
Josh Richardson (shoulder) — Out for season
Herro received a PRP injection in his foot and is set to be re-evaluated in one-to-two weeks. Due to his absence, Miami is already lacking offensive firepower, and now Butler's availability is in question. They'll face Detroit, who has the league's seventh-best Defensive Rating (111.5) this month. If Butler is sidelined, Rozier, Adebayo, and Robinson will likely handle most of the offensive workload.
Confirmed Lineup: Cade Cunningham, Jaden Ivey, Simone Fontecchio, Isaiah Stewart, Jalen Duren
Cade Cunningham (injury management) — Available
Ausar Thompson (illness) — Out
Quentin Grimes (knee) — Out
Confirmed Lineup: Jamal Murray, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Michael Porter Jr., Aaron Gordon, Nikola Jokic
Vlatko Cancar (knee) — Injured
Confirmed Lineup: Luka Doncic, Kyrie Irving, Derrick Jones Jr., PJ Washington, Daniel Gafford
Luka Doncic (hamstring) — Available
Dante Exum (foot) — Available
Josh Green (ankle) — Injured
Brandon Williams (wrist) — Out
After missing the previous outing, Doncic could be sidelined again versus the Nuggets. In the last game, Dallas lost to Oklahoma City in a game where Irving scored a team-high 36 points. If Doncic is ultimately ruled out, expect Irving to garner substantial usage for a second consecutive game. Tim Hardaway Jr. would also be in line for an increased role again after scoring 23 points on 13 shot attempts against the Thunder.
Confirmed Lineup: Immanuel Quickley, Gary Trent Jr., Gradey Dick, Ochai Agbaji, Kelly Olynyk
RJ Barrett (personal) — Out
DJ Carton (ankle) — Out
Chris Boucher (knee) — Injured
Scottie Barnes (hand) — Injured
Jakob Poeltl (finger) — Injured
Confirmed Lineup: Jalen Suggs, Gary Harris, Franz Wagner, Paolo Banchero, Wendell Carter Jr.
Jonathan Isaac (injury maintenance) — Out
Confirmed Lineup: Jrue Holiday, Sam Hauser, Oshae Brissett, Jayson Tatum, Al Horford
Jayson Tatum (ankle) — Available
Jaylen Brown (ankle) — Out
Kristaps Porzingis (hamstring) — Out
Derrick White (hand) — Out
With a couple of players already ruled out, and their two top options uncertain to play, the Celtics could be rather shorthanded against Washington. The good news for Boston is that regardless of who the Wizards are facing, they typically don't play much defense. Washington has given up 120.6 points per contest through eight games this month, the second-most league-wide. Meanwhile, Boston's 127.0 Offensive Rating in March is the league's best.
Confirmed Lineup: Jordan Poole, Justin Champagnie, Corey Kispert, Patrick Baldwin Jr., Richaun Holmes
