Portland Trail Blazers center Robert Williams III (knee) is listed as questionable for Monday against Philadelphia after sitting out Saturday due to injury management. The matchup is not part of a back-to-back, improving his chances to return, though availability remains uncertain. Williams has been productive when active, averaging 9.4 points, 8.0 rebounds, 2.0 assists, and 2.0 blocks across 19.3 minutes over his last five games while shooting 91.7 percent from the field. If he sits, Donovan Clingan should see heavier minutes, with Yang Hansen next in line. Williams is a high-upside hold despite the risk.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard/forward Jaylon Tyson (ankle) is questionable for Monday's game in Denver after suffering a left ankle sprain, putting his Ironman stretch since mid-November at risk. If Tyson sits, Cleveland would likely redistribute wing minutes to Sam Merrill and Keon Ellis, though neither projects for a major usage spike. The bulk of the offensive load should continue to funnel through Donovan Mitchell and newly acquired veteran James Harden. Tyson logged 10 points and six rebounds in his last outing and remains a hold in deeper formats, but his short-term value hinges on availability.

Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward Cedric Coward (shoulder) is not listed on the injury report for Monday against Golden State after missing Saturday, indicating he has been cleared to return. His availability likely sends Jahmai Mashack back to a reserve role after Mashack logged 30 minutes with 8 points, two three-pointers, one rebound, one assist, and six steals. Coward had been trending up before the injury and now looks like a long-term hold, especially with Memphis' season tilting toward development and Ja Morant (elbow) still sidelined. Usage and minutes should remain stable.

Portland Trail Blazers guard Scoot Henderson (hamstring) is listed as probable for Monday against Philadelphia after sitting out Saturday as part of injury management. If cleared, Henderson should step back into a featured role with Portland short-handed. In his return last game, he logged 21 minutes with 11 points, five rebounds, nine assists, two three-pointers, one steal, and five turnovers while shooting 40 percent from the field. With Shaedon Sharpe (calf) out and Deni Avdija (back) questionable, playmaking volume should remain elevated, making Henderson a strong assists-focused play despite efficiency risk.

Memphis Grizzlies forward/center Santi Aldama (knee) will remain sidelined Monday against Golden State, marking a third straight absence as he continues to manage a right knee issue. Memphis is short-handed up front, keeping rotation minutes available. Kyle Anderson filled the void last game with 11 points, six rebounds, two assists, two steals, and two blocks, while Olivier-Maxence Prosper delivered a spike performance with 25 points, five rebounds, and seven three-pointers in 25 minutes. Both remain volatile fantasy plays, but opportunity should persist as long as Aldama is out.

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Ajay Mitchell (abdomen) has been ruled out for Monday's matchup against the Lakers, extending his absence to nine straight games as he continues to work back from an abdominal strain. His return window remains uncertain, with Wednesday the earliest possibility. The continued absence keeps rotation minutes and usage available, especially with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (abdomen) also sidelined. Cason Wallace led the way last game with 23 points, four rebounds, four assists, and four steals in 34 minutes. Isaiah Joe and Aaron Wiggins remain viable streamers, while newcomer Jared McCain remains buried in a crowded guard and wing rotation.

Portland Trail Blazers guard/forward Shaedon Sharpe (calf) will miss a second straight game Monday against Philadelphia with left calf soreness. The absence keeps wing minutes available, with Vit Krejci and Sidy Cissoko positioned to benefit. In the last game, Cissoko logged 33 minutes with seven points, 10 rebounds, four assists, and two steals, while Krejci posted 10 points, three rebounds, four assists, two steals, and two three-pointers in 26 minutes. Both profile as short-term streamers in deeper formats, while Sharpe should be held in most fantasy formats until he returns. Deni Avdija's (back) status also bears monitoring.

Oklahoma City Thunder forward Jalen Williams (hamstring) will return to action in Monday's marquee matchup against LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers. The 2025 All-Star hasn't played since Jan. 17 due to a right hamstring strain. Williams has also missed time this season due to wrist surgery, appearing in only 24 games. He has averaged 16.8 points, 4.8 rebounds, 5.6 assists, and 1.3 steals in 29.6 minutes per game. Because of his lengthy absence, Williams might carry a minute limit on Monday night. Still, with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (abdomen) out of commission, Williams will be expected to do a lot of work on the offensive end.

Portland Trail Blazers forward Deni Avdija (back) might be out for a fifth consecutive game on Monday against the Philadelphia 76ers, as he has been listed as questionable on the injury report. Avdija is having trouble shaking off a back issue, which has limited him to only four appearances since mid-January. In Avdija's absence, Jerami Grant has moved back into the first unit, scoring a game-high 29 points in Saturday's win over Memphis. Sidy Cissoko, who tallied seven points, 10 rebounds, four assists, and two steals on Saturday, also has more fantasy appeal with Avdija on the shelf.

Brooklyn Nets forward Michael Porter Jr. (knee) won't play against the Chicago Bulls on Monday night. He has been ruled out for the game due to right knee tendinitis. Porter Jr.'s absence creates an intriguing situation, as he leads the Nets in scoring with 25.0 points per game. The rest of the squad must pick up the slack on the offensive end. Meanwhile, Danny Wolf is poised to replace Porter Jr. in the starting lineup, having regularly filled in for him in the past. Wolf averages 10.3 points, 6.0 rebounds, and 2.7 assists as a starter.

Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry (knee) will sit out a fourth consecutive game on Monday versus the Memphis Grizzlies. There's no clear timetable for Curry's return, but it seems likely he'll remain out through the All-Star break. On Saturday, Warriors head coach Steve Kerr told reporters there's a "good chance" Curry won't play before the break. With Curry out, Pat Spencer operates as Golden State's starting point guard. There have also recently been starting roles for De'Anthony Melton and Gui Santos, while Brandin Podziemski has been tasked with providing a spark off the bench.

Los Angeles Lakers point guard Luka Doncic (hamstring) has been listed as out for Monday's clash against the Oklahoma City Thunder. He will miss a second consecutive game due to a left calf strain. After Saturday's win over Golden State, Lakers head coach JJ Redick labeled Doncic day-to-day, so he shouldn't be out for long. However, the Lakers have three games in four nights scheduled and will be cautious with Doncic to prevent any further injury. Without Doncic, LeBron James and Austin Reaves have to do more on the offensive end, while Rui Hachimura joined the first unit on Saturday.

Los Angeles Lakers center Deandre Ayton (knee) is listed as probable for Monday's matchup with the Oklahoma City Thunder. Ayton missed Saturday's win over Golden State due to a sore right knee and was labeled day-to-day by Lakers head coach JJ Redick. However, he appears on track to return against the defending champions. This is a rough spot for Ayton against Isaiah Hartenstein and Chet Holmgren. Ayton managed only six points and five rebounds when these teams locked horns for the first time this season on Nov. 12. Jaxson Hayes and Maxi Kleber will lose minutes with Ayton's return.

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee) remains on the injury report with a questionable tag for Monday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. He shook off the questionable tag on Saturday, putting in a 33-point effort against the Phoenix Suns. Since Embiid has played regularly in recent weeks and there's no back-to-back on the schedule, it appears likely that the 2023 MVP will suit up. However, if he isn't ready to play, the usual suspects, Andre Drummond and Adem Bona, will take care of the minutes at the No. 5 spot. At the same time, Tyrese Maxey, Kelly Oubre Jr., and VJ Edgecombe would have more offensive responsibilities.

Chicago Bulls forward/center Jalen Smith (calf) is on the injury report with a questionable designation ahead of Monday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. Smith couldn't play on Saturday against Denver due to a right calf strain and may miss a second consecutive contest versus Brooklyn. Guerschon Yabusele started in Smith's place on Saturday, with Nick Richards serving as his backup. Although Yabusele saw more action, Richards made a bigger impact in the game. He had 15 points, seven rebounds, one steal, and one block across 19 minutes. Chicago's frontcourt is in a good spot on Monday, with Brooklyn allowing the 10th-most fantasy points to centers.

Chicago Bulls point guard Josh Giddey (hamstring) is expected to miss a seventh consecutive game on Monday against the Brooklyn Nets, as he has been listed as doubtful on the injury report. Giddey was having a great year until he ran into hamstring issues, and it wouldn't be surprising if the team kept him on the shelf until the All-Star break. Giddey's health issues, along with Tre Jones' (hamstring) absence, have allowed Anfernee Simons and Jaden Ivey to make productive starts in Chi-Town. Collin Sexton has also just made his team debut, helping cover for the backcourt absences.

Chicago Bulls point guard Tre Jones (hamstring) is listed as doubtful for Monday's contest against the Brooklyn Nets. He suffered a left hamstring strain in late January and is likely to miss a 10th consecutive game. Josh Giddey (hamstring) also isn't expected to return on Monday, elevating the fantasy values of Anfernee Simons, Jaden Ivey, and Collin Sexton. While Simons and Ivey have been Chicago's starting backcourt duo in recent games, Sexton was the team's highest-scoring guard in Saturday's loss to Denver, notching 17 points and four assists in 29 minutes.

Atlanta Hawks guard Dyson Daniels (ankle) has been tagged as questionable for Monday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. He is currently dealing with inflammation in his right ankle, and Daniels may be out for only the third time this season. If that's the case, CJ McCollum is likely to land a starting role for Monday night, with Buddy Hield and Gabe Vincent potentially also more involved in the action. McCollum has made a decent start to life in Atlanta, averaging 17.4 points, 3.1 rebounds, and 3.3 assists in 27.9 minutes.

Utah Jazz point guard Keyonte George (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's tilt against the Miami Heat. This comes as no shock after George sprained his right ankle in Saturday's loss to Orlando. George also recently dealt with a left ankle sprain, missing three games. Due to a lack of bodies in the backcourt, Isaiah Collier logged 48 minutes in back-to-back games. While he now has help with Vince Williams Jr. in town, Collier looks set for another busy night on Monday, and it's a perfect matchup for him -- Miami allows the fifth-most fantasy points to point guards.

Sacramento Kings forward/center Domantas Sabonis (back) is carrying a questionable tag on the injury report ahead of Monday's contest against the New Orleans Pelicans. The former All-Star has battled a back issue lately, missing four of the last five games. In Sabonis' absence, Maxime Raynaud and Dylan Cardwell have had a chance to log extended minutes. While Raynaud has been Sabonis' replacement in the starting lineup, Cardwell performed slightly better on Saturday against Cleveland, recording a 12-point, 11-rebound double-double. With New Orleans ranking among the bottom six teams in fantasy points allowed to centers, the rookie big men could have another productive performance on Monday night if Sabonis doesn't play.
