Donovan Mitchell (nose) — Out
Max Strus (knee) — Out
Evan Mobley (ankle) — Injured
Ty Jerome (ankle) — Injured
After just two games Mitchell is back on the shelf with a nasal fracture and a left knee issue. The knee issue could sideline him for at least a few games as the Cavs prioritize his health for the playoff run. Garland (27.6%) and LeVert (22.0%) led the team in usage rate during the recent seven-game stretch that Mitchell was sidelined for while Allen averaged a robust 18.4 points, 12.9 rebounds, and 3.0 assists.

Jimmy Butler (foot) — Out
Nikola Jovic (hamstring) — Out
Tyler Herro (foot) — Injured
Kevin Love (heel) — Injured
Josh Richardson (shoulder) — Out for season
Butler was sidelined for seven games earlier this year with right foot issues so it wouldn't be surprising to see him sit out again in the second leg of a back-to-back. Jaime Jaquez Jr. got the spot start in his place Sunday and played 34.7 minutes; he'd be in for a similar workload on Monday if Butler and Jovic remain sidelined. Rozier, Adebayo, and Duncan Robinson put up gaudy lines in Sunday's win and should be in another good spot to do so on Monday against a Sixers defense that has ranked just 25th in Defensive Rating since Embiid went down with an injury.
Confirmed Lineup: Tyrese Maxey, Kyle Lowry, Kelly Oubre, Nicolas Batum, Mo Bamba
Tobias Harris (ankle) — Out
Kai Jones (hamstring) — Out

Jerami Grant (hamstring) — Out
Matisse Thybulle (ankle) — Available
Malcolm Brogdon (elbow) — Injured
Shaedon Sharpe (core) — Injured
Robert Williams (knee) — Out for season
Henderson's role will be one to watch here -- he came off the bench and played just 24.3 minutes in Saturday's loss after starting the second leg of a back-to-back on Thursday. This has to be seen as a step back for him to remain on a minutes limit coming out of a back-to-back set. We're projecting him to come off the bench again behind Banton as coach Billups and the Blazers look to keep his minutes around the mid-20s.
Confirmed Lineup: Ayo Dosunmu, Alex Caruso, DeMar DeRozan, Torrey Craig, Nikola Vucevic

Ja Morant (shoulder) — Out for season
The Grizzlies have consistently flipped players this season from inactive (G League) to starting games to preserve the games and days remaining on their two-way contracts. With Kennard and Pippen Jr. ruled out here it makes sense for them to burn one of Goodwin's remaining games and start him at point guard. Bane led all Grizzlies players with a 28.9 percent usage rate in his return to the lineup Saturday.
Confirmed Lineup: De'Aaron Fox, Kevin Huerter, Harrison Barnes, Keegan Murray, Domantas Sabonis

Christian Wood (knee) — Injured
Jarred Vanderbilt (foot) — Injured
Gabe Vincent (knee) — Injured
Colin Castleton (wrist) — Injured
Davis suffered a corneal abrasion in the first half of Saturday's game and didn't return. His vision was impaired and his eye was swollen shut after taking an elbow. He'll be monitored overnight and Sunday to determine his availability for Monday. Jaxson Hayes started the second half in Davis' place and played just under 17 minutes in the second half. He'll be leaned on again if Davis has to miss additional time as the team's only true big men that offers any semblance of rim protection.
