J.J. Redick (abdomen) will meet the Magic in Toronto prior to Sunday's game vs. the Raptors, but he remains day-to-day. Redick has missed 11 consecutive games as Orlando's backup guards have been decimated by injuries lately. As a reliable 3-point shooter and improved defender, his health is critical for Orlando's postseason prospects. Apr. 3 - 9:39 a.m. ET Source: NBA.com
Magic coach Stan Van Gundy doesn't intend to rest Dwight Howard for an entire game down the stretch, but he didn't rule out a reduction in minutes. "If I did ever sit anybody down it would mostly likely be on the second night of a back-to-back," said Van Gundy. "I won't rest him on the last night. That one, to me, doesn't make any sense. He may not play huge minutes, depending on the situation, but (the starters) are going to need to play." Apr. 3 - 9:35 a.m. ET Source: NBA.com
The Pacers' wing rotation will be a "game-by-game situation," said coach Frank Vogel, who didn't rule out Mike Dunleavy returning to the starting lineup. Dunleavy has bumped Dahntay Jones from the rotation, averaging 17 minutes per game, but his playing time will likely increase as the playoffs near. Any additional playing time would come at the expense of guys like Brandon Rush and Paul George. Apr. 3 - 9:47 a.m. ET Source: Indianapolis Star
The Bobcats will play without Tyrus Thomas (knee) on Sunday, and are down to just nine healthy players. Stephen Jackson, Shaun Livingston, and Eduardo Najera are also sidelined, leaving plenty of playing time for everyone else. Thomas' ribs hurt him, his surgically-repaired knees are aching, and his rest-of-season prospects are quite dim. Apr. 3 - 11:33 a.m. ET Source: Mike Cranston on Twitter
Stephen Jackson won't play vs. the Wizards on Sunday due to his nagging hamstring injury. Jax has been gamely trying to play through the injury but he hasn't had much success -- he averaged 13.4 points on 36% shooting in March, adding 2.8 assists, 0.4 steals, with 3.3 turnovers. Those are not pretty numbers, and hopefully you've moved on. Apr. 3 - 11:29 a.m. ET Source: Mike Cranston on Twitter
Mike Miller and Mario Chalmers are both poised to return from knee injuries on Sunday, "pending final pregame aproval." "It probably wouldn't be big minutes, but it is encouraging," said Erik Spoelstra. Both players made it through shootaround without a problem.

Aaron Afflalo's hamstring injury will sidelined him again vs. the Lakers on Sunday. This is great news if you own Wilson Chandler or J.R. Smith, both of whom stand to play more minutes in his absence. Consider Afflalo day-to-day with the Nuggets' next game Tuesday at home vs. the Thunder. Apr. 3 - 1:46 p.m. ET
After landing awkwardly after a foul, Lakers forward Pau Gasol has left the game to have his knee looked at in the locker room. He ran up and down the court a couple of times before being subbed out. We will provide an update as soon as it is available. Apr. 3 - 5:17 p.m. ET
Kris Humphries will miss Sunday's game with a lingering ankle injury, and he remains day-to-day for next week. Brandon Wright will start in his place. Humphries sounds like he should be ready for Tuesday's game with Minnesota, but hopefully we can have an update before any weekly lineups are set.

Andrea Bargnani (ankle) and Jose Calderon (hamstring) have been ruled out for Sunday. Ed Davis and Jerryd Bayless will start again, and have played great as replacement starters. Apr. 3 - 5:06 p.m. ET Source: Matt Devlin on Twitter
Nenad Krstic won't play on Sunday, but he might return Tuesday against the Sixers. He wasn't a good fantasy option before the injury, and will be even less now with the return of Shaquille O'Neal and Jermaine O'Neal. Apr. 3 - 4:58 p.m. ET Source: Gary Washburn on Twitter
Mario Chalmers and Mike Miller will both be in uniform for Sunday night when the Heat play the Nets. Miller has been a disappointment this season, and neither Miller nor Chalmers are going to play big roles as long as the Heat are fighting for playoff position.

Devin Harris will not play against the Kings on Sunday due to a lingering hamstring injury. Earl Watson will continue to start, but he has never produced consistently enough to be a good fantasy option. Apr. 3 - 4:48 p.m. ET Source: Brian T. Smith on Twitter
Bobcats coach Paul Silas reports that Stephen Jackson might play on Tuesday. Dante Cunningham started on Friday and will do so again Sunday, but won't be a good option after Jackson returns. Apr. 3 - 4:42 p.m. ET Source: Mike Cranston on Twitter
The Lakers are calling Pau Gasol's knee injury a "tweak" and are expecting him to be fine despite scheduling a Monday MRI. Gasol was able to come back into Sunday's game after the injury, so we're not overly concerned. He has some soreness and swelling, but there is almost certainly no ligament damage. Consider Gasol questionable for Tuesday's game against the Jazz, with Lamar Odom being the main beneficiary if he sits. Apr. 3 - 7:45 p.m. ET Source: Kevin Ding on Twitter
Dwyane Wade returned to action Sunday despite suffering a "dead leg" in the first half. Wade apparently just took a knee from Travis Outlaw and got a charlie horse. He looks a little gimpy, but there's no structural damage. Wade simply has a bruise and should be fine. Apr. 3 - 7:24 p.m. ET
The Minneapolis Star-Tribune is guessing that Kevin Love (groin) will be sidelined for a few more games and possibly the season. Love didn't even travel with the team for Saturday's game in Memphis after looking hobbled on Friday. With only five games left in the season, it makes very little sense for the Wolves to put Love out there. We'll know more after Wednesday's practice, but it's not looking good. Anthony Tolliver, Nikola Pekovic and Anthony Randolph will all chop up minutes. Apr. 3 - 7:19 p.m. ET Source: Minneapolis Star-Tribune
Tyson Chandler (back) will not play in Sunday's game against the Blazers. Chandler's latest back injury is not serious, but the Mavs want to play it safe. They are virtually locked into the No. 3 seed in the West anyway and Chandler says his back is too stiff to go. Brendan Haywood and Ian Mahinmi figure to split the center minutes.

Andrew Bynum was held out of Sunday's loss to the Nuggets late after tweaking his knee. Bynum did not suffer a new injury -- he was held out as a precaution after his existing knee injury flared up a little. It's not a major concern, but at this point in the season a game or two off is always a possibility. Consider Bynum questionable for Tuesday. Apr. 3 - 7:50 p.m. ET Source: Mike Bresnahan on Twitter
