The Scoop: Pickett will enter the starting five Tuesday for the first time this season due to Michael Porter (personal) being out. Pickett is converting 39.7 percent of his 1.7 three-point attempts per contest in 2024-25.

 The Scoop: Gordon has been upgraded from questionable to available Tuesday despite dealing with an illness and right calf injury. Gordon has averaged 17.1 points, 4.8 rebounds and 2.8 assists in 29.1 minutes across his previous 10 appearances.

 The Scoop: Jokic will suit up for his third straight outing following a five-game absence due to a left ankle impingement. Over his last two appearances, the three-time MVP has amassed 66 points, 24 rebounds, 16 assists and four steals across 70 total minutes. He has shot 55.8 percent from the field and 36.4 percent from beyond the arc in that two-game span.

 The Scoop: Bates hasn't suited up for the Cavaliers since Feb. 12 while playing for the G League's Cleveland Charge. However, he missed the end of the Charge's season due to personal reasons. The 21-year-old finished the 2024-25 G League campaign with averages of 17.6 points, 5.6 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 0.6 steals across 31.0 minutes per game over 23 appearances.

 The Scoop: Gordon is officially listed as questionable for Tuesday's contest due to an illness and right calf injury management. However, it appears that the 29-year-old forward is set to make his third straight appearance.

 The Scoop: Lundy has yet to suit up this season while recovering from an aggravation of an injury to his surgically repaired left ankle. However, he is no longer listed on the injury report, which bodes well for his potential return. Despite this, the second-year guard is unlikely to carve out a role in the Clippers' rotation.

 The Scoop: Hawkins will miss his second straight contest Wednesday due to back spasms. Antonio Reeves could draw another start in his absence. Hawkins' next chance to suit up is Friday's matchup with the Lakers.

 The Scoop: Miller will miss his 10th consecutive contest due to left hamstring tendinopathy. His next chance to feature will come Friday against the Mavericks.

 The Scoop: Coffey will miss his second straight contest Wednesday due to left knee soreness. Bogdan Bogdanovic and Derrick Jones should continue to receive increased playing time in his absence. Coffey's next chance to suit up is Friday's matchup with Dallas.

 The Scoop: Jeremy Sochan (back) is a late scratch Tuesday, opening the door for Biyombo to start at center. The veteran big man has averaged 5.5 points, 5.6 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 0.8 blocks and 0.7 steals in 19.2 minutes over 18 games as a starter this season.
