2 days agoVivek Jacob of the Raptors official site reports that guard
Immanuel Quickley (hip) is questionable for Monday's game against the Golden State Warriors due to left hip soreness. Fantasy managers should be aware that the 25-year-old was a late add-on to the injury report, and there's a good chance he will be unavailable for Monday's contest.
Bruce Brown and
Jamal Shead will likely see an uptick in minutes if Quickley is sidelined.

2 days agoMichael Wallace of the Grizzlies' official site reports that Memphis Grizzlies guard
Ja Morant (illness) is questionable for Monday's game against the Houston Rockets due to an illness. Morant is a late add to the injury list, meaning he will likely not suit up. If the 25-year-old is sidelined, players like
Luke Kennard and
Scotty Pippen Jr. will likely take on extra minutes and see more scoring opportunities than usual.

3 days agoNew York Knicks guard
Jalen Brunson (shoulder) is listed as questionable going into Monday's matchup with the Detroit Pistons due to right shoulder soreness. Brunson finished with 44 points, six assists, five rebounds, and one steal in Sunday's win over the Milwaukee Bucks. The 28-year-old briefly exited the contest after suffering a right shoulder injury, although he was able to return. If he's unable to suit up, for the second half of this back-to-back set,
Miles McBride will likely take on an expanded role in the Knicks backcourt.

3 days agoLos Angeles Lakers center
Anthony Davis (foot) remains on the injury report with plantar fasciitis but has been listed as probable for the team's first game in nearly a week. They've had their last few games postponed due to the wildfires in California, and it looks like they'll resume play in their home arena on Monday against the San Antonio Spurs. Davis has posted 26 double-doubles in 34 appearances this season and has recorded at least one block in 27 games. He remains one of the most valuable fantasy assets in the league.

3 days agoSan Antonio Spurs forward
Jeremy Sochan (back) has been tagged as questionable for their Monday night contest against the Los Angeles Lakers. The former ninth-overall pick missed their last game due to lower back tightness, but that could be all the time he needed to come back to the court. The Spurs will likely take the time from shootaround to warm-ups to see if his back feels okay enough to play. If he's unable to suit up,
Harrison Barnes,
Julian Champagnie, and
Keldon Johnson will see some extra minutes. Johnson was the best of the three in their last outing with 24 points, 11 rebounds, and one assist.

3 days agoMiami Heat guard/forward
Josh Richardson (heel) draws a doubtful status for Monday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. He hasn't played since November 18 and has only appeared in eight games so far this season. The doubtful status seems to show that he's starting to trend in the right direction, but it's unclear how much more time he'll have to miss. With
Jimmy Butler (suspended) also sidelined, Jamie Jaquez Jr. and
Haywood Highsmith continue to start and deliver some valuable minutes along with
Nikola Jovic.

3 days agoMiami Heat center
Bam Adebayo (back) appeared on Monday's injury report with a lower back contusion but is considered available for their game against the Los Angeles Clippers. The star center hasn't missed a game yet this season, so it seems to be more of a formality to list the nagging injury. Through 37 games this season, Adebayo averages 16.1 points, 9.8 rebounds, 4.6 assists, 1.5 steals, and 2.1 turnovers per game with shooting splits of .456/.287/.716. Despite the fact that his rebounding, scoring, and efficiency numbers are all down from last season, Adebayo is still a top fantasy big man whenever healthy.

3 days agoMemphis Grizzlies center
Jay Huff (knee) is dealing with some knee soreness but has been listed as probable for Monday's matchup with the Houston Rockets. After bouncing around the G League and the NBA for his first three seasons, Huff has caught on to a solid backup role in Memphis. The big man averages 8.8 points, 2.5 rebounds, 1.1 blocks, and 1.6 threes across 14.9 minutes per contest. He's an above-average option for fantasy managers looking for some added blocks and threes in deeper leagues.

3 days agoMemphis Grizzlies guard
Marcus Smart (finger) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Houston Rockets while he continues to deal with a right index finger injury. The 30-year-old hasn't played since December 21, and there hasn't been an official word on when he'll return to the floor. Scottie Pippen Jr. remains a great streaming option, especially in deeper leagues. The third-year guard is averaging 10.5 points, 4.8 assists, 3.4 rebounds, 1.2 steals, and 1.2 threes across 22.4 minutes per game while starting in 16 of his 39 appearances.

3 days agoLos Angeles Lakers forward
LeBron James (foot) is probable heading into Monday's matchup with the Spurs. The unfortunate situation in Los Angeles surrounding the wildfires has resulted in the team postponing their last two contests. However, despite not playing a game in nearly a week, the multi-time All-Star remains on the injury report because of a foot issue. That likely won't change anytime soon, although fantasy managers are used to it at this point. James continues to play well, averaging 23.8 points, 8.8 rebounds, and 7.7 assists while shooting 38.6% from behind the arc. Yet, he struggled offensively in two meetings with the Spurs during the 2024-25 campaign, logging only 15.5 points per contest, so he may not be the most practical DFS option, considering his rostering cost.

3 days agoHouston Rockets forward
Tari Eason (lower leg) is listed as doubtful for Monday's game against Memphis. The 23-year-old hasn't played since Dec. 14 and is not expected to return to the lineup on Monday as Eason continues to manage a left lower leg injury.
Cam Whitmore and
Jae'Sean Tate have enjoyed expanded roles during Eason's absence. As a talented scorer, Whitmore has more fantasy appeal, but he tends to blow hot and cold.

3 days agoUtah Jazz forward
Brice Sensabaugh (conditioning) will end a three-game absence on Sunday against Brooklyn. At the start of the week, he was knocked out of the lineup by an illness, but Sensabaugh has worked his way back into game shape ahead of Sunday's action. We should see plenty of him in the game as well, considering the Jazz will be short-handed for the contest, missing seven players, including four regular starters. Sensabaugh exploded for 61 points across two games before exiting the lineup, but the shooting he demonstrated in these contests -- including a 12-for-17 effort from three-point range -- is unsustainable.
--Taavi Pailk - RotoBallerSource: NBA Injury Report
3 days agoUtah Jazz forward/center
Kyle Filipowski (ankle) is good to go for Sunday's contest against Brooklyn. He was initially regarded as questionable for the game due to an ankle sprain. Utah won't have many big bodies in the lineup on Sunday, so the stage is set for Filipowski to enjoy a productive outing. However, his recent form hasn't been promising. Filipowski has averaged 4.8 points and 6.2 rebounds with below 40 percent shooting this month. In Saturday's matchup against Phoenix, he settled for only four points and two rebounds on 2-for-8 shooting in 22 minutes.
--Taavi Pailk - RotoBallerSource: NBA Injury Report
3 days agoUtah Jazz forward
Lauri Markkanen (back) will not play on Sunday against Brooklyn. He will miss the second leg of a back-to-back due to back spasms. Markkanen's absence means
Collin Sexton will be the only regular starter available for the contest. Players such as
Cody Williams and
Svi Mykhailiuk will have expanded roles on Sunday, while veteran playmaker
Patty Mills looks set to remain in the rotation. Following Sunday night, Utah will be off until Wednesday, which should help the team get back some bodies.

3 days agoGolden State Warriors forward
Jonathan Kuminga (ankle) will miss a fifth straight game on Monday against Toronto. The 22-year-old is recovering from an ankle sprain and is wearing a walking boot. He's seven days into a projected three-week recovery period, so the Warriors will have to be without him for quite some time. Luckily for the team,
Andrew Wiggins (personal) has returned to the fold. The Warriors bench, featuring
Buddy Hield,
Kyle Anderson, and
Moses Moody, will also help compensate for Kuminga's loss.
