Andray Blatche is listed as "out" for Sunday with his shoulder injury, according to Wizards writer George Panagakos. Blatche has been vaguely day-to-day for a while now, and there is no indication of when he'll get back on the court. George Panagakos on Twitter
Marcus Camby will again come off the bench vs. the Lakers on Sunday, leaving LaMarcus Aldridge and Gerald Wallace to battle L.A.'s frontcourt. Nate McMillan used the "They have to guard us too" argument, with a dash of "They're going to be big regardless of who we start" for good measure. Wallace hasn't relished playing PF in the past, and a battle with Pau Gasol won't help, but Portland is playing ego-free ball right now (and winning as a result).

Luis Scola (knee) received positive feedback from coach Rick Adelman and teammates following practice on Saturday and appears ready to return to the Rockets' lineup on Sunday. "He came out in practice and he was the old Scola," Courtney Lee said. Apparently Scola was so anxious to get back into the lineup that he had been forcing things when his body needed to rest and relax. He still remains a game time decision but all signs point to him playing. Mar. 20 - 10:09 a.m. ET Source: Houston Chronicle
After coughing up a season-high eight turnovers on Friday, Chauncey Billups said, "It takes a while [to adjust to a new team and system] ... I'm not being impatient." This wouldn't even warrant mentioning, but it provides a nice counterpoint to Carmelo Anthony's pouting and sulking. With Billups and Amare Stoudemire fully committed to Mike D'Antoni's system, Melo better get with the program. Mar. 20 - 10:05 a.m. ET Source: Newsday
Kobe Bryant sounds likely to play on Sunday despite a sore neck and ankle. We wouldn't bet against Kobe anyway, but he attended practice yesterday (sitting out drills along with the other starters) and none of his teammates seem concerned about his health. Keep him active and check back for confirmation. Mar. 20 - 9:57 a.m. ET Source: O.C. Register
The NBA has yet to announce whether or not Andrew Bynum will be suspended for Sunday's game after his recent flagrant foul on Michael Beasley. Phil Jackson admitted that Bynum "gave up on the ball" during the play, but said it wasn't "malicious." We should know very soon whether league officials agree with Jackson's take.

X-rays of Shawn Marion's injured wrist came back negative, though it's unclear if he'll play Sunday vs. the Warriors. Mavs coach Rick Carlisle described the injury as "a freak play, where his wrist got knocked into Roddy’s arm." Marion is officially listed as day-to-day. Owners should probably bench him for safer options on this relatively busy Sunday (nine games) but ideally he'll play and be ready to go for next week. Mar. 20 - 9:51 a.m. ET Source: Mavericks.com
Nick Young (knee) is questionable to play for the Wizards on Sunday. The game tips off at 1pm, so we shouldn't have to wait very long for an update. Jordan Crawford has been playing very well lately and should probably be started regardless of Young's availability. Mar. 20 - 9:39 a.m. ET Source: Washington Examiner
Heat PG Mario Chalmers (sprained knee) is scheduled to have an MRI on Sunday to help determine the severity of his injury. Chalmers injured the knee during Saturday's game and was unable to put any pressure on his leg. He's been sporting a brace since then and it looks like he could be out for at least a few games. In his absence the Heat will be dependent upon Mike Bibby to handle the point. Mar. 20 - 10:46 a.m. ET Source: Miami Herald
Nuggets coach George Karl does not expect Raymond Felton (ankle) to play on Monday, saying that he's "wobbling around pretty good." "We're hoping for next week sometime," Karl said. This leaves plenty of minutes for Ty Lawson, with J.R. Smith stepping into a backup PG role (a testament to Karl's newfound faith in him). Mar. 20 - 10:28 a.m. ET Source: Denver Post
Raja Bell (toe) will be in the lineup for the Utah Jazz on Sunday. C.J. Miles has taken over the starting position so Bell is only worth a look in extremely deep leagues. Even then there are probably players with greater upside sitting on the waiver wire. Mar. 20 - 12:02 p.m. ET Source: Brian T. Smith on Twitter
The Timberwolves' official website lists no players in their injury report, further confirmation that Michael Beasley (hip) will be available on Sunday. The "Gameday Scouting Report" actually doesn't mention Beasley's injury at all, though it does point out that he scored a career-high 42 points in his last meeting with the Kings. Keep him active.

Andrei Kirilenko (back) said that he will play on Sunday vs. Houston. . The Jazz will also have Paul Millsap (knee) and Raja Bell, while Devin Harris (hamstring) is probable. Mar. 20 - 12:13 p.m. ET Source: Salt Lake Tribune
Paul Millsap will return from his knee injury vs. the Rockets on Sunday. Millsap missed the past five games with tendinitis and might not be quite up to speed, but he'll start at PF and should be safe to activate. He's missed six games this season, which doubles his career total. Mar. 20 - 12:10 p.m. ET Source: Brian T. Smith on Twitter
Devin Harris (hamstring) went through shootaround on Sunday and "looked good," though he remains a game-time decision. It sounds like Harris will play, and fantasy owners should keep him active unless we get a pessimistic update in the next few hours. Mar. 20 - 12:08 p.m. ET Source: Brian T. Smith on Twitter
Deron Williams will miss at least the next three games to rest his strained wrist tendons, after which he will be re-evaluated. The Nets haven't ruled out ending D-Will's season outright, and beat writer Al Iannazzone writes, "Listening to Deron and Avery, shutting him down at some point seems to be the way to go." Jordan Farmar instantly becomes a must-own player, as he'll be starting at PG for the foreseeable future. Mar. 20 - 12:05 p.m. ET Source: NY Daily News
Luol Deng (bruised thigh) and Taj Gibson (sore ankle) will sit out parts of Sunday's practice due to their minor injuries. Both players' inactivity sounds precautionary and shouldn't jeopardize their status for Monday's game. Deng can certainly use the rest as he's been averaging 45 minutes over the past three games.

Devin Harris (hamstring) will start Sunday's game for Utah, alongside backcourt mate C.J. Miles. He technically remains a game-time decision, but he was fine during shootaround and was included in the starting lineup by coach Tyrone Corbin. Use him as you normally would.

The NBA has given a one-game suspension to Suns guard Aaron Brooks, which he will serve Sunday vs. the Clippers. Brooks threw the ball at an official during the fourth quarter of Friday's game, which is more than likely the reason for the suspension. He is only sporadically valuable as Steve Nash's backup, and his absence shouldn't cause much trouble in fantasy leagues. Mar. 20 - 12:52 p.m. ET Source: Paul Coro on Twitter
Wizards swingman Josh Howard (knee) is out again vs. the Nets on Sunday. Howard seems to be out indefinitely -- his surgically-repaired knee has bothered him all season and we're not optimistic about his role down the stretch. The lottery-bound Wizards have no incentive to deploy him at half strength. Mar. 20 - 12:41 p.m. ET Source: Michael Lee on Twitter
