Drew Eubanks C | UTA
Jazz's Drew Eubanks: Good to go against Sacramento
Eubanks (illness) is available for Tuesday's game versus the Kings, Ben Anderson of KSL News Salt Lake City reports.
Eubanks has been upgraded from questionable to available Tuesday despite being a late addition to the injury report with an illness. With Taylor Hendricks (ankle) out for the season, it is possible Eubanks will receive increased playing time as a bench big in Utah's frontcourt.

Grizzlies' Zach Edey: Iffy for Wednesday vs. Nets
Edey is questionable for Wednesday's game versus the Nets due to right calf soreness.
Edey is dealing with a sore calf and is in jeopardy of missing his first game of the season. The big man has started in all four of his regular-season appearances, and he has averaged 7.8 points and 5.0 rebounds across 16.0 minutes per game. However, the 22-year-old has played only 27 total minutes over the last two games, and the Grizzlies have opted for a deep frontcourt rotation with Santi Aldama, Jay Huff, Jake LaRavia and Brandon Clarke all receiving double-digit playing time off the bench.

Myles Turner C | IND
Pacers' Myles Turner: Iffy against Boston
Turner is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game versus the Celtics due to a left ankle sprain.
Turner is in danger of missing his first outing of the season Wednesday while dealing with an ankle injury. If Turner is ruled out against Cleveland, Isaiah Jackson will likely step in as the team's starting center.

Hawks' Cody Zeller: Remains out
Zeller (personal) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Wizards.

Hawks' Onyeka Okongwu: Not listed on injury report
Okongwu (toe) isn't listed on the injury report ahead of Wednesday's game against the Wizards, Kevin Chouinard of the Hawks' official site reports.
Okongwu didn't play Monday against the Wizards, which was the second night of a back-to-back set, but he'll return to action Wednesday.

Hornets' Mark Williams: Another absence coming
Williams (foot) is out for Wednesday's game versus the Raptors.
Williams' absence streak will extend to four games to begin the season Wednesday while dealing with a left foot injury. Until Williams is able to return to action, Nick Richards should continue to start.

Mo Bamba C | LAC
Clippers' Mo Bamba: To miss at least two more games
Coach Tyronn Lue said Tuesday that Bamba (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Trail Blazers and Thursday's matchup versus the Suns, Joey Linn of SI.com reports.
Bamba has yet to suit up this season due to left knee soreness and remains without a return timetable. His next chance to suit up will come Saturday versus Oklahoma City. In Bamba's absence, Kai Jones should remain part of the rotation.

Goga Bitadze C | ORL
Magic's Goga Bitadze: Iffy for Wednesday
Bitadze (foot) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Bulls.
Bitadze is in danger of missing a second straight game due to a foot injury. However, he totaled only 16 minutes over Orlando's first three regular-season appearances before sitting out Monday, so his potential absence shouldn't have a major impact on the rotation.
