- POR
Williams will take the night off before presumably being available for Opening Night against Phoenix.

- ORL
Penda was limited at the start of training camp due to a right hamstring injury, and he's now in danger of missing Wednesday's regular-season opener against Atlanta. If the 21-year-old is forced to miss time, Jamal Cain could see a slight bump in minutes.

- BOS
George and the rest of Boston's regulars won't suit up for the final exhibition but should be good to go for Tuesday's regular-season finale against the Pistons.

The Nuggets' starters will all suit up versus Los Angeles, though the team will be without its top bench option. DeRozan has had a quiet preseason, averaging 4.7 points, 1.3 rebounds and 1.3 assists across 10.2 minutes per contest. However, it's reasonable to assume he will be much more productive come the start of the regular season.
- LAC
After appearing in each of the Clippers' first two preseason games, Dunn will be sidelined Wednesday for rest purposes. The veteran guard's next chance to suit up will come in the club's regular-season opener Oct. 21 against the Kings, when he could see an elevated role with Bradley Beal (knee) ruled out for Opening Night.

Strawther exited to the locker room in the third quarter of Wednesday's loss to the Clippers after his left knee bent awkwardly following contact while handling the ball. "All you can do is hope for the best," said Nuggets head coach David Adelman. An extended absence for Strawther would test Denver's depth on the wing with Spencer Jones (hamstring) not yet cleared for contact.
- DAL
Cisse sprained his left ankle in Wednesday's loss to the Pelicans and could sit out Friday's preseason finale against the Hawks as a precautionary measure. Even if he doesn't play Friday, it appears Cisse is trending toward being available for Wednesday's regular-season opener against Houston.
- HOU

- PHI
LeBron James (rest), Joel Embiid (rest) and Jaylen Brown (rest) will join Caldwell-Pope on the inactive list for Saturday's exhibition, which may result in major minutes for Rayan Rupert and Caleb Love. Caldwell-Pope's next chance to play will come Friday in a rematch with the Celtics.

Davis is getting the night off Monday for maintenance purposes. The star big man's next chance to play is Friday against the Pelicans.
- HOU
According to coach Ime Udoka, Durant was initially scheduled to play only the first half Friday but requested additional minutes to build chemistry with Fred VanVleet and his other new teammates. The veteran forward's absence Sunday appears to be a planned precaution rather than an injury-related setback, and Houston should have additional minutes available for its other wings and forwards
- PHI
Head coach Nick Nurse is resting most of the vets for Saturday's exhibition, so Jabari Walker could get all the run he can handle. Embiid should return for Friday's preseason rematch with Boston.
