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.

Detroit Pistons center Jalen Duren (knee) is considered probable for Monday's clash with the Charlotte Hornets. He didn't suit up on Friday night in the 118-80 win over the New York Knicks. As a result, Isaiah Stewart got the start, finishing with 15 points. Paul Reed was also more involved than usual, amassing 12 points, six boards, four assists, one block, and one steal in 26 minutes. With Duren anticipated to return to the lineup, Stewart's ceiling will be lower, although he'll remain a viable starting fantasy option. On the other hand, Reed won't offer much upside.

Sacramento Kings guard Malik Monk (illness) will miss a second consecutive game on Monday against the New Orleans Pelicans. After dropping six three-point bombs and scoring 18 points against the Clippers on Friday night, Monk missed Saturday's contest against Cleveland due to illness and still needs time to recover from the bug. Sacramento's backcourt has also lost Zach LaVine (finger), improving the fantasy outlook of Nique Clifford and Devin Carter. Clifford led Sacramento's offense on Saturday, producing a career-high 30 points. Carter also made a mark in the game, finishing with 18 points, four rebounds, four assists, one block, and one steal.

Orlando Magic forward Franz Wagner (ankle) is questionable for Monday's meeting with the Milwaukee Bucks. He suffered a sprained left ankle during the loss to the New York Knicks on December 7. While Wagner appeared in two games in Mid-January, he wasn't well enough to return and has since missed the last nine contests. Assuming the 24-year-old is cleared to suit up, he'll probably play less than the 32.8 minutes he's averaged this season. He may also come off the bench, which would keep Anthony Black with the starters. Either way, Wagner should reclaim his spot in all fantasy lineups despite the chance of a below-average performance.

Sacramento Kings guard/forward Zach LaVine (finger) won't play on Monday night against the New Orleans Pelicans. Due to a sore finger, LaVine missed the second leg of a back-to-back on Saturday against Cleveland and will now be out for a second consecutive contest. Sacramento has also lost Malik Monk (illness) and De'Andre Hunter (eye), boosting the fantasy value of Nique Clifford, Daeqwon Plowden, and Devin Carter. All three played well on Saturday, though Clifford made the biggest impact with a career-high 30 points.

According to ESPN's Shams Charania, Detroit Pistons guard Daniss Jenkins agreed to a two-year deal with the club. The 24-year-old went undrafted in 2024 and has been operating on two-way contracts with Detroit ever since. He played sparingly as a rookie. However, it's been a different story this season, with Jenkins averaging 15.3 points, 6.7 assists, and 1.1 steals in seven starts. With Jaden Ivey no longer in the picture, Jenkins should remain in line for a stable role from off the bench. He'll also presumably continue to start when necessary. With that said, unless Jenkins is with the first-five, he's hard to trust as a starting fantasy option on a day-to-day basis.

Sacramento Kings forward De'Andre Hunter (eye) will be re-evaluated in 10 days, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports. Hunter was hit in his left eye on Friday night against the Clippers and was diagnosed with iritis. It's a tough blow for Hunter, who was only recently traded to Sacramento and is trying to build chemistry with his new teammates. He's had a quiet start as a King, averaging 7.5 points and 1.0 rebounds in two games, both as a starter. Daeqwon Plowden started in Hunter's place on Saturday against Cleveland, notching 16 points, six rebounds, four assists, and one steal. He looks set for a significant role for at least a couple more games, as the Kings are also without Zach LaVine (finger) and Malik Monk (illness).

Denver Nuggets guard/forward Spencer Jones (concussion) will miss a second straight game on Monday against the Cleveland Cavaliers. The 24-year-old suffered a head injury against the New York Knicks on Wednesday night and must clear concussion protocol before he can return to action. Jones has been a regular starter for Denver since late November, averaging 7.5 points, 3.9 rebounds, and 1.0 steals in the first unit. With Jones unavailable on Saturday against the Chicago Bulls, Julian Strawther got a look in the starting lineup, picking up 19 points, five rebounds, and two steals. He may have an even more important role on Monday, depending on Jamal Murray's (hip) status.

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (ankle) is considered probable for Monday's contest against the Cleveland Cavaliers. The Serbian superstar is dealing with a left ankle sprain. However, Jokic played through the issue on Saturday against Chicago and appears ready to do so again on Monday night. With Jamal Murray (hip) potentially on the shelf against Cleveland, having Jokic available will be crucial for the Nuggets. After recovering from his knee injury, Jokic has quickly returned to form, averaging 23.0 points, 12.5 rebounds, 9.8 assists, 1.3 blocks, and 1.0 steals.

Denver Nuggets guard/forward Christian Braun (ankle) is listed as probable for Monday's matchup with the Cleveland Cavaliers. He is set to make his fourth consecutive appearance despite nursing a left ankle sprain. Due to health issues, it's been a tough season for the 24-year-old. Since returning from his most recent injury, Braun has managed only 7.3 points, 3.7 rebounds, and 3.3 assists in 33.7 minutes per game. Denver will want to see more from him, especially with Aaron Gordon (hamstring) and Payton Watson (hamstring) out of the rotation.

Denver Nuggets point guard Jamal Murray (hip) is listed as questionable for Monday's contest against the Cleveland Cavaliers. A hip issue forced Murray to make an early exit on Saturday against the Chicago Bulls, and his streak of consecutive appearances might come to an end at seven games. Murray also missed a few games last month, with Jalen Pickett taking over his starting role. This may be the case again on Monday if Murray can't play, though even as a starter, Pickett hasn't done much from a fantasy perspective. He has posted 8.1 points, 3.6 rebounds, and 3.6 assists per game in the first unit.

Toronto Raptors center Jakob Poeltl (back) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Indiana Pacers. Poeltl has been out since December 21 due to a lower back strain. He's reportedly very close to returning to the court, but his main focus is reconditioning right now. His next chance to play will be against the Detroit Pistons on Wednesday. His continued absence should mean more minutes for Collin Murray-Boyles and Sandro Mamukelashvili. It's also possible that Trayce Jackson-Davis makes his team debut, but he probably wouldn't have a significant role. Fantasy managers should check back on Wednesday to see if Poeltl will be cleared to play.

Washington Wizards guard Bilal Coulibaly (back) is available to play ahead of Sunday's game against the Miami Heat. Coulibaly is back in the mix after sitting out Saturday's game due to a lower back issue. The third-year guard is feeling good enough to suit up on Sunday, but it wouldn't be shocking to see the tanking Wizards be cautious with his minutes. This season, Coulibaly is averaging 9.7 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 2.6 assists in 26.7 minutes per game. He's not offering enough upside to warrant rostering in anything other than deep leagues right now. Jamir Watkins and Justin Champagnie should see reduced roles with Coulibaly back on Sunday.

Washington Wizards guard Kyshawn George (knee) will suit up for Sunday's game against the Miami Heat. George sat out the front end of this back-to-back set due to a knee issue. It doesn't seem to be serious enough to hold him out of both games. His return to the rotation will send Will Riley back to the bench, while Keshon Gilbert sees a reduced role as well. George is averaging 15.1 points, 4.9 assists, and 5.5 rebounds across 30.5 minutes per game this season. Fantasy managers can go ahead and get George active in their lineups ahead of tip-off.

Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo (hip) has been upgraded to available ahead of Sunday's game against the Washington Wizards. As expected, Adebayo is cleared to play after being listed as probable on the injury report due to right hip tightness. It doesn't appear to be serious enough to keep him out of action, so fantasy managers should expect Adebayo to have his normal workload. Over his last 10 games, Adebayo is averaging 21.9 points, 10.4 rebounds, and 2.5 assists in 32.6 minutes per game. Fantasy managers need to make sure Adebayo is active in their lineups ahead of tip-off.

Miami Heat guard Norman Powell (hand) is available to play ahead of Sunday's game against the Washington Wizards. Powell has been upgraded from questionable to probable and is now cleared to suit up. He missed three games due to a hand injury before suiting up for Friday's game against the Boston Celtics. Powell finished with 24 points, three rebounds, and four assists across 35 minutes of action during Friday's loss. The hand injury didn't seem to impact him during that game, so fantasy managers should feel comfortable getting Powell active in their lineups on Sunday.

Los Angeles Lakers center Deandre Ayton (knee) is considered day-to-day after being held out of Saturday's win, with the team monitoring right knee soreness. His status for Monday is still up in the air, leaving the frontcourt unsettled. Jaxson Hayes is the next man up if Ayton sits and should continue starting, though his fantasy appeal is limited to rebounds and blocks. Jarred Vanderbilt and Maxi Kleber would also absorb minutes, but both remain fringe options. Managers can hold Ayton for now, but it's smart to have a short-term backup ready.

Los Angeles Lakers guard Luka Doncic (hamstring) is dealing with a mild strain and was held out Saturday, leaving him day-to-day. With a back-to-back approaching, the Lakers are expected to monitor the issue closely, making his short-term availability uncertain. In the meantime, usage should shift elsewhere. Austin Reaves becomes the primary playmaking beneficiary, while Marcus Smart is in line for steadier ball-handling minutes. Jake LaRavia and newly acquired Luke Kennard could also see added wing run, with Kennard offering low-end three-point streaming appeal if the absence lingers.

Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry (knee) is considered doubtful for Monday against Memphis, with the team signaling caution that could keep the veteran sidelined until after the All-Star break. Curry has already missed three straight games, and Golden State has leaned on committee production. Pat Spencer has delivered 15.7 points, 3.7 three-pointers, 5.0 rebounds, 4.7 assists, and 1.3 steals in 28.9 minutes during the absence, making him a viable short-term streamer. De'Anthony Melton adds defensive juice with 3.0 steals, while Brandin Podziemski offers steady minutes but a lower ceiling. Moses Moody's scoring spike also warrants monitoring.
