Confirmed Lineup: Tyrese Haliburton, Andrew Nembhard, Aaron Nesmith, Pascal Siakam, Myles Turner
Doug McDermott (calf) — Available
Bennedict Mathurin (shoulder) — Out for season
Confirmed Lineup: Cade Cunningham, Jaden Ivey, Stanley Umude, Tosan Evbuomwan, Jalen Duren
Simone Fontecchio (toe) — Out
Taj Gibson (hamstring) — Out
Cade Cunningham (injury management) — Not on injury report
Quentin Grimes (knee) — Out
Isaiah Stewart (hamstring) — Out for season
Ausar Thompson (illness) — Out for season
Cunningham's return after missing the second end of a back-to-back due to injury management should send Marcus Sasser back to the bench, but the Pistons have a question mark at the four with Stewart's new injury keeping him out against the Pacers. If Fontecchio is able to return, coach Williams could keep Stanley Umude in the starting lineup at the three, sliding Fontecchio down to the four. Fontecchio missed Monday's game after four consecutive starts in Thompson's place, during which he averaged a team-leading 36.1 minutes per game. He'll have one of the biggest roles on the Pistons down the stretch if healthy.
Confirmed Lineup: Terry Rozier, Patty Mills, Jimmy Butler, Nikola Jovic, Thomas Bryant
Jimmy Butler (foot) — Available
Bam Adebayo (back) — Out
Nikola Jovic (hamstring) — Available
Duncan Robinson (back) — Out
Tyler Herro (foot) — Injured
Kevin Love (heel) — Injured
Josh Richardson (shoulder) — Out for season
Butler and Jovic are looking to return after two-game absences. Jaquez Jr. and Haywood Highsmith have been starting in their places, and Jaquez Jr. could remain in the starting lineup even if Butler is able to return due to Robinson missing out. Coach Spoelstra could also start Patty Mills or Delon Wright at point guard while moving Rozier down to the two.
Confirmed Lineup: Darius Garland, Caris LeVert, Isaac Okoro, Georges Niang, Jarrett Allen
Dean Wade (knee) — Out
Donovan Mitchell (nose) — Injured
Evan Mobley (ankle) — Injured
Max Strus (knee) — Injured
Ty Jerome (ankle) — Injured
Confirmed Lineup: Damian Lillard, Malik Beasley, Khris Middleton, Jae Crowder, Brook Lopez
Giannis Antetokounmpo (hamstring) — Out
MarJon Beauchamp (back) — Available
Confirmed Lineup: Derrick White, Jaylen Brown, Jayson Tatum, Al Horford, Kristaps Porzingis
Jaylen Brown (ankle) — Available
Jrue Holiday (shoulder) — Out
Sam Hauser (ankle) — Out
Jayson Tatum (ankle) — Not on injury report
Al Horford (toe) — Not on injury report
Payton Pritchard started in Holiday's wake on Monday, playing a season-high 38 minutes while totaling 23 points and seven assists. Derrick White also triple-doubled in the win over Detroit. Both players would look set for increased workloads if Holiday remained out against his former team.
Meanwhile, if Brown misses out, it could be a straight swap in the lineup for Tatum, who is not on the injury report. Horford could re-enter the starting lineup for Luke Kornet in the case as well, or Boston could roll out their regular starting five for the first time since March 7 if all of the questionable players are good to go.
Confirmed Lineup: De'Aaron Fox, Keon Ellis, Harrison Barnes, Keegan Murray, Domantas Sabonis
Sasha Vezenkov (ankle) — Out
Kevin Huerter (shoulder) — Out
Trey Lyles (knee) — Injured
Huerter was injured just 1:51 into Monday's win over Memphis, failing to return to the contest. Keon Ellis filled Huerter's role, ending at 34 minutes, while Sixth Man of the Year favorite Malik Monk played 39. Ellis has been a spot starter for several different players in recent days and should be considered the favorite to take over for Huerter against Toronto.
Confirmed Lineup: Bruce Brown, Gary Trent Jr., Gradey Dick, Ochai Agbaji, Kelly Olynyk
Immanuel Quickley (personal) — Out
DJ Carton (ankle) — Out
RJ Barrett (personal) — Out
Scottie Barnes (hand) — Injured
Jakob Poeltl (finger) — Injured
Chris Boucher (knee) — Injured
Confirmed Lineup: Keyonte George, Kris Dunn, Brice Sensabaugh, Taylor Hendricks, John Collins
John Collins (face) — Available
Lauri Markkanen (injury maintenance) — Out
Jordan Clarkson (groin) — Out
Markkanen returned after six games out to play 31 minutes in a loss to the Wolves on Monday, but will go right back to the sidelines due to injury maintenance on his quad. Expect Brice Sensabaugh to return to the starting lineup in his place against Oklahoma City. Taylor Hendricks should continue starting at the four, and will have a higher floor with Markkanen out.
Meanwhile, Collins was injured at the hands of Anthony Edwards during a ferocious posterization on Monday, leaving the game during the third quarter and not returning. Walker Kessler played every minute of the contest after Collins' injury, and Kessler would likely start against Oklahoma City at center if Collins sat out.
Confirmed Lineup: Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Josh Giddey, Lu Dort, Jalen Williams, Chet Holmgren
Confirmed Lineup: James Harden, Amir Coffey, Paul George, Kawhi Leonard, Ivica Zubac
