Los Angeles Lakers forward Anthony Davis (calf) is listed as available for Sunday's matchup against Toronto.

Chicago Bulls center Nikola Vucevic (hip) did not play on Saturday against the Hawks.

Jesse Winker Doesn’t Play Against Chicago

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Jesse Winker (back) wasn't in the lineup on Saturday against the Chicago Cubs.
