Zeke Nnaji - Dealing with low back painNnaji is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Timberwolves due to low back pain.
Derrick Jones Jr. - Nearly double-doublesJones closed Sunday's 107-105 win over the Nuggets with nine points (4-11 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), eight rebounds and one assist over 24 minutes.
ImpactJones nearly double-doubled and made the most of his 24 minutes Sunday. Usage isn't easy to come by in Dallas alongside Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving, so that explains Jones' inconsistent production.

Jalen Pickett - Recalled ahead of Sunday's gameDenver recalled Pickett from the G League's Grand Rapids Gold on Sunday.
ImpactPickett and Hunter Tyson were active for Sunday's loss to the Mavericks but didn't see any playing time. After appearing in four straight NBA games to end February, Pickett has played in just one of Denver's first eight March contests.

Dereck Lively II - Efficient output off benchLively chipped in 14 points (7-8 FG, 0-3 FT), eight rebounds and two blocks across 23 minutes during Sunday's 107-105 victory over the Nuggets.
ImpactLively made the most of his opportunities off the bench in this one, missing just one shot from the field, ending close to a double-double and making his mark on the defensive end as well. However, Lively will continue to have a hard cap on his upside if he continues to play off the bench, with Daniel Gafford and P.J. Washington currently starting in the frontcourt.

Hunter Tyson - Elevated for Sunday's gameDenver recalled Tyson from the G League's Grand Rapids Gold on Sunday.
ImpactTyson and Jalen Pickett were available for Sunday's loss to the Mavericks, but neither saw playing time. Tyson has made just one NBA appearance in March, totaling three points and a rebound in a one-minute, garbage-time appearance during a blowout win over Utah.
