Analysis:

Lee is battling a sprained right hand, which kept him out of action Saturday against the Blazers and Monday against the Knicks. It's important to note that he hasn't been officially ruled in, but at this point it appears he'll be ready to return. In that case, Jeff Green or Tony Allen will likely shift back to the bench.
