Kevin Huerter CHI SG
Bulls' Kevin Huerter: Starting Monday
4m agoHuerter will start in Monday's game against Philadelphia, K.C. Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago reports.
Coby White was originally supposed to start for Chicago, though he was bleeding before tipoff, allowing Huerter to step into the starting five. The 26-year-old swingman will likely receive his normal workload, as White is still available to play.
-
Dillon Brooks HOU SF
Rockets' Dillon Brooks: Questionable to face Milwaukee
25m agoBrooks (illness) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Bucks.
Brooks is in jeopardy of missing his first contest since Dec. 27 due to an illness. If the 29-year-old forward is sidelined, Cam Whitmore and Jeff Green could see a bump in minutes. Brooks has averaged 12.2 points, 4.8 rebounds and 2.6 assists across 30.4 minutes per contest over his last five outings.
-
Jae'Sean Tate HOU SF
Rockets' Jae'Sean Tate: Questionable with back spasms
26m agoTate (back) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Bucks,
After sitting out Saturday's game against the Jazz, Tate continues to deal with back spasms that leave his status in limbo for Tuesday. If the veteran forward needs to miss another contest, Jeff Green should act as the direct beneficiary of Tate's absence from a fantasy perspective after the former scored a season-high 16 points in 22 minutes Saturday.
-
Monte Morris PHO PG
Suns' Monte Morris: Iffy for Tuesday
31m agoMorris (back) is questionable for Tuesday's game against Memphis, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.
Morris is in jeopardy of missing his second consecutive contest due to low back soreness. The veteran point guard didn't play in four straight outings due to a coach's decision before the absence streak, so another potential absence likely wouldn't cause any waves in the rotation.
-
Brandon Boston Jr. NO SG
Pelicans' Brandon Boston: Ruled out for Tuesday
31m agoBoston (ankle/illness) is out for Tuesday's game against the Spurs.
Boston continues to nurse both a sprained left ankle and a non-COVID illness, which will keep him off the court once again Tuesday. His next chance to return to action comes Thursday against Phoenix. Boston's absence against San Antonio should keep Jose Alvarado and Jordan Hawkins locked into meaningful roles off the bench.
-
Justin Champagnie WAS SF
Wizards' Justin Champagnie: Returning to bench Monday
36m agoChampagnie is not in the Wizards' starting lineup against the Nets on Monday.
Champagnie made his 15th start of the season Sunday against the Magic and finished with six points, six rebounds and one block over 31 minutes in a 110-90 loss. Champagnie will retreat to the bench for Monday's game due to Khris Middleton (ankles) being cleared to play.
-
Zach Collins CHI C
Bulls' Zach Collins: Starting vs. 76ers
38m agoCollins is in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the 76ers, Chuck Swirsky of the Bulls Radio Network reports.
Collins will get the nod in the first unit since Nikola Vucevic will miss this contest due to a calf injury. Collins hasn't started a game since Dec. 6, when he played for the Spurs. He's averaging 5.0 points and 5.3 rebounds per game in his first three outings with Chicago.
-
Nikola Vucevic CHI C
Bulls' Nikola Vucevic: Not playing Monday
1h agoVucevic (calf) is out for Monday's game against the 76ers.
Vucevic was initially listed as probable for Monday's contest, but the big man will end up missing the contest altogether due to tightness in his right calf. This means Zach Collins will likely start at center, while Vucevic's next chance to return will come against the Clippers on Wednesday.
-
Charles Bassey SA C
Spurs' Charles Bassey: Ruled out for Tuesday
1h agoBassey (knee) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against New Orleans, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.
Bassey will miss Tuesday's contest after exiting Sunday's loss to the Pelicans due to a left knee injury that has now been diagnosed as a bone bruise on his left knee. The club will be extremely thin at center with Victor Wembanyama (shoulder) also on the shelf, meaning Bismack Biyombo and Sandro Mamukelashvili are candidates for an increased role.
-
Kel'el Ware MIA C
Heat's Kel'el Ware: Green light to play Monday
1h agoWare (ankle) is available for Monday's game against the Hawks, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Ware popped up on the injury report due to left ankle discomfort, but the injury isn't severe enough for the rookie first-round pick to be sidelined for Monday's Southeast division clash. Ware has started in each of the Heat's last 14 games, and over that span he has averaged 11.0 points, 9.7 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.1 blocks over 29.9 minutes per game.
-
Alex Sarr WAS C
Wizards' Alex Sarr: Won't go Monday
2h agoSarr (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's matchup against Brooklyn, Varun Shankar of The Washington Post reports.
Sarr will miss his second consecutive contest Monday, marking his 10th absence due to a left ankle sprain over the Wizards' last 12 outings. With the rookie big man sidelined, Richaun Holmes and Tristan Vukcevic are candidates for an uptick in playing time.
-
Xavier Tillman BOS C
Celtics' Xavier Tillman: Probable for Tuesday
2h agoTillman (knee) is probable for Tuesday's game against the Raptors, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.
Following a three-game absence with left knee inflammation, Tillman is expected to return to action Tuesday. Luke Kornet (personal) has already been ruled out against Toronto, so Tillman could be in line to share the backup center minutes with the probable Neemias Queta (illness) if Al Horford (toe) sits out.
-
Nicolas Batum LAC PF
Clippers' Nicolas Batum: Starting Monday
41m agoBatum will start in Monday's game against Detroit, Joey Linn of SI.com reports.
The veteran forward will receive the starting nod for the second time this season, pushing Derrick Jones to the bench. Batum has seen inconsistent playing time over his last five outings, during which he has averaged 2.4 points and 2.6 rebounds in 13.4 minutes per game.
-
Guerschon Yabusele PHI PF
76ers' Guerschon Yabusele: Will start Monday
45m agoYabusele will start in Monday's game against Chicago, Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com reports.
With Joel Embiid (knee) on the shelf, Yabusele will step back into the starting five. The big man has seen significant run with the starters this season, and over his last 10 starts, he has averaged 13.2 points, 6.7 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 1.2 three-pointers and 1.0 steals in 31.6 minutes per contest.
-
Aaron Gordon DEN PF
Nuggets' Aaron Gordon: Will face Indiana on Monday
1h agoGordon (calf) is available for Monday's matchup against Indiana.
The Nuggets continue to include Gordon on the injury report due to right calf injury management, though he'll suit up in his third consecutive contest Monday. The 29-year-old forward has played more than 30 minutes in each of his last two outings, and he should be able to shoulder his normal workload against the Pacers. Over his last five outings, Gordon has averaged 14.2 points, 5.4 rebounds and 4.8 assists across 27.6 minutes per contest.
-
James Johnson IND PF
Pacers' James Johnson: Available against Denver
1h agoJohnson (illness) is available for Monday's game against the Nuggets.
Johnson was unavailable for Sunday's game against the Clippers due to an illness, but he'll be available off the bench Monday. However, the veteran forward is logging just 3.2 minutes per game over 10 appearances this season and is unlikely to be a significant contributor against Denver.
-
Anthony Gill WAS PF
Wizards' Anthony Gill: Receives seven minutes Sunday
5h agoGill (ankle) registered three points (1-1 FG, 1-1 3Pt) and two rebounds in seven minutes Sunday in the Wizards' 110-90 loss to the Magic.
Gill was sidelined for three straight games with a sprained right ankle before being cleared in advance of Friday's contest versus the Bucks. He didn't crack the rotation in the Wizards' three-point loss to Milwaukee, but the absences of Khris Middleton (ankles) and Marcus Smart (finger) on Sunday allowed Gill to pick up some minutes. Both Middleton and Smart have been cleared to play Monday against the Nets, so Gill will likely find himself back outside of the rotation.
-
Julius Randle MIN PF
Timberwolves' Julius Randle: Another absence coming
5h agoRandle (groin) will not play Monday against the Thunder.
Randle, who was recently cleared for 5-on-5 with contact, isn't quite ready to return Monday. There's a chance he could be back for Thursday's game versus the Lakers with a couple more practices under his belt, however.
-
Dillon Brooks HOU SF
Rockets' Dillon Brooks: Questionable to face Milwaukee
25m agoBrooks (illness) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Bucks.
Brooks is in jeopardy of missing his first contest since Dec. 27 due to an illness. If the 29-year-old forward is sidelined, Cam Whitmore and Jeff Green could see a bump in minutes. Brooks has averaged 12.2 points, 4.8 rebounds and 2.6 assists across 30.4 minutes per contest over his last five outings.
-

Rockets' Jae'Sean Tate: Questionable with back spasms
26m agoTate (back) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Bucks,
After sitting out Saturday's game against the Jazz, Tate continues to deal with back spasms that leave his status in limbo for Tuesday. If the veteran forward needs to miss another contest, Jeff Green should act as the direct beneficiary of Tate's absence from a fantasy perspective after the former scored a season-high 16 points in 22 minutes Saturday.

Champagnie made his 15th start of the season Sunday against the Magic and finished with six points, six rebounds and one block over 31 minutes in a 110-90 loss. Champagnie will retreat to the bench for Monday's game due to Khris Middleton (ankles) being cleared to play.
-
Amir Coffey LAC SF
Clippers' Amir Coffey: Joining second unit Monday
36m agoCoffey will come off the bench in Monday's game against the Pistons, Joey Linn of SI.com reports.
The 27-year-old swingman will slide to the second unit in favor of Bogdan Bogdanovic on Monday. Coffey averaged 12.8 points while shooting 54.1 percent from the field across 22.8 minutes per contest in his last five outings off the bench.
-
Derrick Jones Jr. LAC SF
Clippers' Derrick Jones: Moves to bench against Detroit
37m agoJones is not in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Pistons, Joey Linn of SI.com reports.
Jones started in Sunday's game against the Pacers, but the Clippers have opted to move him back to the second unit despite being without several key players Monday. Across five reserve appearances this season, the veteran forward has averaged 8.8 points, 1.8 rebounds and 1.2 steals in 20.9 minutes while shooting 55.9 percent from the floor.
-
Simone Fontecchio DET SF
Pistons' Simone Fontecchio: Ruled out Monday
2h agoFontecchio (finger) is out for Monday's game against the Clippers.
After dislocating his right finger in Sunday's win over the Hawks, Fontecchio will need to miss at least one game due to the injury. His next opportunity to take the floor arrives Wednesday against the Celtics. Fontecchio's absence should allow Isaiah Stewart and Ron Holland to pick up a few extra minutes off the bench.
-
Kevin Huerter CHI SG
Bulls' Kevin Huerter: Starting Monday
4m agoHuerter will start in Monday's game against Philadelphia, K.C. Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago reports.
Coby White was originally supposed to start for Chicago, though he was bleeding before tipoff, allowing Huerter to step into the starting five. The 26-year-old swingman will likely receive his normal workload, as White is still available to play.
-
Brandon Boston Jr. NO SG
Pelicans' Brandon Boston: Ruled out for Tuesday
31m agoBoston (ankle/illness) is out for Tuesday's game against the Spurs.
Boston continues to nurse both a sprained left ankle and a non-COVID illness, which will keep him off the court once again Tuesday. His next chance to return to action comes Thursday against Phoenix. Boston's absence against San Antonio should keep Jose Alvarado and Jordan Hawkins locked into meaningful roles off the bench.
-
Jaylen Clark MIN SG
Timberwolves' Jaylen Clark: Available vs. OKC
36m agoClark (neck) is available for Monday's game against the Thunder, Alan Horton of the Timberwolves Radio Network reports.
Head coach Chris Finch confirmed Clark's availability for this matchup, though that might not matter much in most fantasy formats. The former UCLA standout averages a mere 14.9 minutes per game in his 16 appearances (two starts) this season.
-
Bogdan Bogdanovic LAC SG
Clippers' Bogdan Bogdanovic: First start of season Monday
41m agoBogdanovic is in the starting lineup in Monday's game against the Pistons, Joey Linn of SI.com reports.
With the Clippers missing several key contributors Monday, Bogdanovic will draw his first start since landing with Los Angeles and his first of the season overall. The veteran swingman has averaged 10.0 points, 2.5 assists, 1.8 steals and 1.8 three-pointers in 22.8 minutes in his last four games, and he's in line for an uptick in playing time against Detroit.
-
Jalen Suggs ORL SG
Magic's Jalen Suggs: Listed out again
3h agoSuggs (quadriceps) is listed as out for Tuesday's game against the Cavaliers.
Suggs will be sidelined for a 13th straight game and remains without a timetable for a return. He should be considered questionable at best for Thursday's game against Golden State.
-
Gradey Dick TOR SG
Raptors' Gradey Dick: Probable for Tuesday
3h agoDick (thigh) is probable for Tuesday's game versus Boston, according to Raptors reporter Coty Wiles.
This appears to be a new issue for Dick, and it's something to monitor closely with Tuesday's game being the front end of a back-to-back set. Dick holds averages of 11.2 points, 4.1 rebounds, 1.2 steals and 1.7 three-pointers over his last 10 games.
-
Monte Morris PHO PG

Morris is in jeopardy of missing his second consecutive contest due to low back soreness. The veteran point guard didn't play in four straight outings due to a coach's decision before the absence streak, so another potential absence likely wouldn't cause any waves in the rotation.
-
Coby White CHI PG
Bulls' Coby White: Good to go Monday
1h agoWhite (ankle) is available but will come off the bench Monday against the 76ers, Will Gottlieb of AllCHGO.com reports.
Despite suffering an ankle injury in Saturday's game against the Suns, White has been expectedly upgraded from probable to available Monday. Over his last nine games, the star guard has averaged 17.7 points, 4.8 assists, 3.0 rebounds and 3.0 three-pointers in 33.2 minutes.
-
Tyrese Maxey PHI PG
76ers' Tyrese Maxey: Cleared to play Monday
1h agoMaxey (finger) is available for Monday's game against the Bulls, Noah Levick of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
Maxey will play through a right finger sprain Monday, and he figures to handle a normal workload. Over his last 11 games, the star guard is averaging 30.1 points, 6.4 assists, 3.5 rebounds, 1.3 steals and 3.5 three-pointers in 38.4 minutes. With Joel Embiid (knee) sidelined against Chicago, Maxey is also primed to take on an increase in usage.
-
Jamal Murray DEN PG
Nuggets' Jamal Murray: Cleared to play Monday
1h agoMurray (knee) is available for Monday's game against the Pacers.
Murray was listed as probable for Monday's game due to left knee inflammation, and the issue isn't severe enough for the 28-year-old point guard to be sidelined. He's averaged 31.0 points, 5.6 assists, 2.6 rebounds and 1.6 steals over 36.0 minutes per game over his last five outings.
-
Tyler Herro MIA PG
Heat's Tyler Herro: Will play Monday
1h agoHerro (shoulder) is available for Monday's matchup against the Hawks, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Herro will shake off a probable tag due to right shoulder soreness and suit up Monday. The All-Star is coming off a 40-point performance during Sunday's loss to Milwaukee, and over his last five outings, he has averaged 27.4 points, 6.6 assists, 4.8 rebounds and 1.2 steals across 37.4 minutes per contest. However, he has shot only 25.0 percent from beyond the arc in that five-game span.
-

Hawks' Trae Young: Good to go Monday
