Denver Nuggets forward Peyton Watson (hamstring) will not play Tuesday against Phoenix as the team manages his workload following a recent return from a lengthy absence. His absence could mean a few extra bench minutes for Tim Hardaway Jr., Spencer Jones, and Julian Strawther, though none are strong fantasy plays right now. Hardaway had six points, four rebounds, and one assist in his last game, while Jones chipped in five points with one three-pointer, one steal, and one block in 11 minutes. All three are risky deep-league streamers with unclear roles.

Chicago Bulls center Jalen Smith (calf) will play Monday against Houston after missing one game, though he is expected to see roughly 22 to 24 minutes as he works back into form. The minutes cap could limit his short-term ceiling despite averages of 12.3 points, 6.3 rebounds, and 1.0 assists across his last four outings. Nick Richards may still see rotational minutes off the bench, lowering Smith's rebound upside. Smith remains a viable option in deeper formats, but managers in weekly playoffs should account for the workload restriction before locking him in.

Indiana Pacers guard/forward Aaron Nesmith (ankle) has shaken off a questionable tag and will suit up on Monday against the Orlando Magic. He is managing a right ankle injury but is ready to make his sixth consecutive appearance. Despite producing a five-point dud on Saturday against San Antonio, Nesmith has averaged 15.6 points and 2.0 rebounds across his last five outings. However, with Pascal Siakam (knee) and Andrew Nembhard (calf) available on Monday, Nesmith likely has to take the backseat on the offensive end.

Indiana Pacers power forward Obi Toppin (foot) will make a second consecutive appearance on Monday against the Orlando Magic. Toppin recently recovered from a fractured foot, and the team is still monitoring his workload. It was initially uncertain whether he would play on Monday when Indiana listed Toppin as questionable on the injury report. Toppin has looked good in his last five outings, posting averages of 12.6 points, 4.0 rebounds, and 2.4 assists.

Indiana Pacers forward Pascal Siakam (knee) has been cleared to play on Monday against the Orlando Magic. He was initially listed as questionable due to a right knee sprain. The four-time All-Star has also dealt with a wrist injury this month, appearing in only four games. He has averaged 22.8 points, 4.5 rebounds, 3.5 assists, and 1.3 steals in 30.5 minutes in March. Orlando has struggled to contain Siakam this season, allowing him to score 60 points over two games.

Sacramento Kings forward Daeqwon Plowden (foot) is probable for Tuesday's game against Charlotte after missing the previous contest, putting the two-way wing on track to reclaim a rotation role. Plowden has averaged 14.4 points, 3.0 three-pointers, 3.2 rebounds, 1.2 assists, and 1.4 steals across his last five appearances, giving him deep-league appeal for threes and defensive stats. Sacramento's injury situation could keep minutes available. Malik Monk and Devin Carter should also continue seeing steady runs in the backcourt, while Plowden remains a viable short-term streamer if his workload holds.

Indiana Pacers guard Andrew Nembhard (calf) has been upgraded to available for Monday's contest against the Orlando Magic. The team initially listed him as questionable on the injury report. While Nembhard has been held back by various health issues in recent weeks, he had a great outing on Saturday against San Antonio, putting up 25 points and dishing out seven assists. Nembhard has also performed well against the Magic this season, averaging 19.5 points and 9.0 assists in 33.0 minutes per game.

Sacramento Kings guard Killian Hayes (foot) is questionable for Tuesday's game against Charlotte after exiting Sunday's win early due to soreness. With Russell Westbrook (foot) already ruled out, Sacramento could lean more on Devin Carter and Malik Monk to handle point guard duties. Carter put up 16 points, five rebounds, three assists, and one steal in 27 minutes last game and could be worth a look in deeper leagues for assists. Monk went for 32 points with seven threes and six assists in 30 minutes and should have solid short-term value while the minutes are there.

Miami Heat forward Andrew Wiggins (toe) will rejoin the lineup on Monday against the San Antonio Spurs. He has been out for nearly three weeks due to a toe injury, missing eight games. Wiggins was outstanding in his first meeting with the Spurs this season, scoring 24 points and grabbing six rebounds in a 107-101 loss on Oct. 30. He is averaging 15.9 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 2.8 assists for the season. Wiggins' return reduces opportunities for Simone Fontecchio and Myron Gardner.

Sacramento Kings forward/center Precious Achiuwa (back) is questionable for Tuesday's game against Charlotte after being listed with lower-back soreness following Sunday's win. He has been a steady part of the rotation lately, including a 14-point, 15-rebound effort in his most recent outing. If he sits, Dylan Cardwell could see more frontcourt minutes after posting five points, three rebounds, two assists, and one block in 15 minutes last game. Daeqwon Plowden (foot) could also see extra minutes if he's able to suit up.

According to C.J. Holmes of the New York Daily News, Brooklyn Nets guard Terance Mann (rest) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. The 29-year-old will rest after recording five points, three rebounds, and two assists in 26 minutes during Sunday's loss to the Kings. With Mann out, the already depleted Nets rotation must rely on Ziaire Williams and Ochai Agbaji to take on expanded roles tonight.

Sacramento Kings guard Russell Westbrook (foot) will miss Tuesday's game against Charlotte, marking his second straight absence. His absence could continue to open backcourt minutes for Malik Monk and Devin Carter, especially if Killian Hayes (foot) is also unavailable. Monk erupted for 32 points with seven three-pointers and six assists in 30 minutes in his last game, making him a strong short-term fantasy play. Carter added 16 points, five rebounds, and three assists in 27 minutes and remains a deeper-league option. DeMar DeRozan may also handle more playmaking duties.

Miami Heat guard/forward Norman Powell (calf) will be back in action on Monday against the San Antonio Spurs. He didn't play in Saturday's loss to Houston due to a calf problem. Powell has battled health issues throughout the season and has made only three appearances in March. He is averaging 19.0 points, 3.0 rebounds, and 3.0 assists this month. Powell's offensive numbers have dipped recently due to 21.4 percent three-point shooting. He will face a top-three defense on Monday, so Powell may continue to struggle to find his offensive rhythm.

Sacramento Kings guard/forward Nique Clifford (foot) will miss Tuesday's game against Charlotte after exiting his previous outing early, leaving Sacramento without one of its recent high-minute starters. His absence should open more runs for Malik Monk and Devin Carter. Monk is coming off 32 points with seven three-pointers and six assists in 30 minutes, making him a strong points and threes streamer. Carter chipped in 16 points, five rebounds, three assists, and one steal in 27 minutes and could be worth a look in deeper leagues. Daeqwon Plowden (foot) could also rejoin the rotation if active.

Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Quentin Grimes (illness) has been ruled out for Monday's contest against the Oklahoma City Thunder, Noah Levick of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports. Grimes was a late addition to the injury report due to illness and has been officially ruled out ahead of tip-off. Philadelphia also won't have its Big Three and Kelly Oubre Jr. (elbow) out Monday, which puts the spotlight on players like VJ Edgecombe, Justin Edwards, and Cameron Payne. All three should enjoy plenty of offensive usage, although this is a difficult matchup against the NBA's top-ranked defense.

Atlanta Hawks forward Jalen Johnson (shoulder) has been ruled out for Monday's game against Memphis due to inflammation, marking his second straight absence. Mouhamed Gueye could continue seeing starting minutes after posting 16 points, four three-pointers, 10 rebounds, and two assists in 26 minutes in his last start, though that line may prove difficult to repeat. Zaccharie Risacher also remains a deeper-league option after scoring 17 points with three three-pointers in 23 minutes. Jonathan Kuminga should continue seeing steady minutes, while Johnson remains worth holding, though fantasy playoff managers may want insurance just in case.

Philadelphia 76ers forward Dominick Barlow (ankle) is available for Monday's clash against the Oklahoma City Thunder, Noah Levick of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports. Earlier in the day, the team upgraded Barlow from doubtful to questionable, and he has now been listed as available. The 22-year-old sprained his left ankle in Saturday's win over Utah, logging only four minutes. Barlow has started regularly for Philadelphia this season, averaging 8.5 points and 4.8 rebounds in the first unit. On Monday, he will have an opportunity to play a larger role on the offense end, as the 76ers are without Joel Embiid (oblique), Tyrese Maxey (finger), Paul George (suspension), Kelly Oubre Jr. (elbow), and Quentin Grimes (illness).

C.J. Holmes of the New York Daily News reports that Brooklyn Nets center Nicolas Claxton (rest) is active for Monday's matchup against the Portland Trail Blazers. He is set to return after missing Sunday's 126-122 loss to the Sacramento Kings. However, the rebuilding Nets are beginning to manage the 26-year-old big man's workload, so fantasy managers should expect him to miss more time in the near future. Across his last six outings, Claxton has averaged 7.2 points and 6.7 rebounds in 21.2 minutes per contest.

San Antonio Spurs guard/forward Devin Vassell (hamstring) is available for Monday's game against Miami after recently dealing with tightness. He has averaged 14.6 points, 2.6 three-pointers, 2.6 rebounds, and 2.8 assists across 33.1 minutes over his last five appearances, providing steady but capped fantasy value alongside De'Aaron Fox and Stephon Castle. Vassell remains a hold in standard leagues for his scoring and perimeter production, though his ceiling may fluctuate depending on usage distribution. Dylan Harper could see fewer minutes with Vassell back, while Keldon Johnson may shift back into a more limited reserve role.

Portland Trail Blazers center Robert Williams III (knee) won't play on Monday against the Brooklyn Nets. As usual, the injury-prone big man will sit out the second leg of a back-to-back after collecting 16 points, five rebounds and one assist across 19 minutes during Sunday's loss to Denver. He should be back in action on Wednesday against Milwaukee. Donovan Clingan will continue to start against Brooklyn, while Yang Hansen could serve as his backup. Hansen was just called up from the G League's Rip City Remix on Monday.
