Bam Adebayo and Tyler Herro are will play for the Miami Heat ahead of their game with the Los Angeles Lakers Wednesday. Adebayo is dealing with a left knee bruise and Herro is trying to play through back tightness. Head coach Erik Spoelstra said both players will warm up, so their official status won't be known until just before game time.
Mitchell Robinson and Nerlens Noel are listed as questionable for the New York Knicks ahead of their game with the Milwaukee Bucks. Robinson missed Monday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers with the hip injury as did Noel, who is still dealing with a lingering knee injury.
Update (5:55 p.m. ET): Robinson will play against the 76ers while Noel is out.
Malcolm Brogdon will play as the Indiana Pacers gear up for a game with the Denver Nuggets. Brogdon has missed back-to-back games with an illness but is expected to suit up. The Pacers will not have Caris LeVert, who is likely resting on the front end of a back-to-back.
Brandon Ingram is out for the New Orleans Pelicans as he continues to rehab a sore hip. Ingram will miss his sixth game in a row with the injury tonight.
Dillon Brooks is available for the Memphis Grizzlies Wednesday. Brooks has been rehabbing after injuring his left hand..
