Collin Sexton Won't Play On Monday Night
2 weeks agoUtah Jazz guard Collin Sexton (pelvis) won't play on Monday against the Hornets. The Jazz have plenty of names listed on Monday's edition of the injury report, with Lauri Markkanen (knee), Jordan Clarkson (foot), Walker Kessler (rest), Cody Williams (illness), and John Collins (ankle) all ruled out. As a result, Keyonte George and Isaiah Collier should lead the way on the scoring end, with an uptick in production expected from Kyle Filipowski, Brice Sensabaugh, and Svi Mykhailiuk.Source: Andy Larsen
Myles Turner Sidelined On Monday
2 weeks agoIndiana Pacers center Myles Turner (illness) is unavailable for Monday's matchup with the Sacramento Kings. Going into Monday's contest, he had only sat out once in the last 20 games. However, Turner was added late to the Pacers' injury report due to an illness that will keep him out of the lineup. With the big man out of action this evening, the team's frontcourt will likely rely on Thomas Bryant and Obi Toppin to soak up some minutes.Source: NBA Injury Report
Cole Anthony Out Again On Monday Night
2 weeks agoOrlando Magic guard Cole Anthony (toe) remains out for Monday's meeting with the Clippers, marking his seventh-consecutive absence because of a sprained toe. Cory Joseph has been filling in at the one. However, Joseph hasn't done much with his afforded opportunity, with the veteran averaging 7.4 points, 3.2 assists, and 3.2 rebounds in 10 starts this season. On the other hand, Anthony Black has benefited from Anthony's absence, amassing double-digit scoring in five of his last seven appearances.Source: NBA Injury Report
Josh Giddey Ready To Go On Monday
2 weeks agoAccording to K.C. Johnson of Chicago Sports Network, Chicago Bulls guard/forward Josh Giddey (hip) said he will play against his former team, the Oklahoma City Thunder, on Monday. Giddey participated in the Bulls' morning shootaround after he was listed as questionable for right-hip soreness and injury management. In his last outing, the 22-year-old finished with eight points, eight rebounds, four assists, and two blocks across 27 minutes in a 120-119 loss to the Mavs on Saturday. He should be a solid fantasy option for this evening as he goes up against his former club.Source: K.C. Johnson
Day'Ron Sharpe Still Out On Monday
2 weeks agoBrooklyn Nets center Day'Ron Sharpe (knee) will remain out for Monday's matchup against Dallas. He's already missed three games because of a sprained knee, so it's unknown if he'll be back on the floor before the end of the regular season. While Nicolas Claxton will remain in the middle to begin the game, Drew Timme, averaging 15.0 points and eight rebounds in two professional appearances, is worth considering for DFS lineups.Source: NBA Injury Report
Noah Clowney Sidelined On Monday
2 weeks agoBrooklyn Nets forward Noah Clowney (ankle) won't play on Monday against the Mavericks. He got the start in Saturday's win over the Wizards, finishing with 13 points and five rebounds. However, the 20-year-old sprained his right ankle late in the contest and didn't return. With Cameron Johnson (back) sidelined for this one, Clowney had a chance to remain with the first five. But now it appears Jalen Wilson, averaging 11.2 points in 18 starts during the 2024-25 campaign, could fill the spot in the rotation. Trendon Watford should also see additional minutes.Source: NBA Injury Report
Cameron Johnson Ruled Out On Monday Night
2 weeks agoBrooklyn Nets forward Cameron Johnson (back) won't play on Monday night against Dallas. He had an excellent game in the recent win over the Washington Wizards, finishing with 18 points, nine rebounds, and seven assists. Unfortunately, he took a hard fall late in the contest and was ruled out. With Brooklyn already eliminated from Play-In contention, it's anyone's guess if Johnson has a few more games in him before the end of the regular season. But with Noah Clowney (ankle) also ruled out, Jalen Wilson may slide into the starting lineup, with the 24-year-old averaging 11.2 points in 18 starts this season. Trendon Watford should also see extra work after amassing seven points and two blocks versus the Wizards.Source: NBA Injury Report
Kevin Durant Out At Least One Week
2 weeks agoPhoenix Suns forward Kevin Durant (ankle) is expected to miss at least one week after suffering a sprained left ankle in Sunday's blowout loss to the Houston Rockets. The latest update means Durant won't suit up during the Suns' upcoming three-game road trip, beginning on Tuesday in Milwaukee. Phoenix is currently on the outside looking in for a Play-In spot. But if the Suns get eliminated before Durant is cleared to return, there's a chance he won't be back on the floor this season. With rumors regarding KD's departure this offseason, he may have already played his final game with the organization. With that said, Royce O'Neale should slide into the starting lineup, with Devin Booker expected to see a surge in production while Durant is on the shelf.Source: Shams Charania
Isaiah Hartenstein Listed As Questionable For Monday
2 weeks agoOklahoma City Thunder center Isaiah Hartenstein (hip) is listed as questionable ahead of Monday's game against the Chicago Bulls. Hartenstein is in danger of missing this game after exiting early on Saturday due to left hip soreness. The Thunder could be in trouble with Chet Holmgren (hip) and Jaylin Williams (hip) also tagged as questionable for Monday. If they sit, Kenrich Williams, Branden Carlson, and Dillon Jones could all see increased roles. Between the three, Williams would be the only player worth considering as a streaming option.Source: NBA Injury Report
Jaylin Williams Could Miss Monday's Game
2 weeks agoOklahoma City Thunder forward Jaylin Williams (hip) is listed as questionable ahead of Monday's game against the Chicago Bulls. Williams recently suffered a hip injury and is now in danger of missing his second straight game. This comes at a bad time with Chet Holmgren (hip) and Isaiah Hartenstein (hip) both questionable for this game as well. That being said, Kenrich Williams could be looking at big minutes if some of these players are unable to suit up.Source: NBA Injury Report
Chet Holmgren Uncertain For Monday
2 weeks agoOklahoma City Thunder forward/center Chet Holmgren (hip) is listed as questionable ahead of Monday's game against the Chicago Bulls. This has been frustrating for fantasy managers as Holmgren has been in and out of the lineup lately. He continues to nurse a left hip injury and the Thunder are going to be cautious with him because the playoffs are quickly approaching. The Thunder are fairly banged up, so it's unclear who exactly would benefit at the moment. If he sits, Isaiah Hartenstein (hip), Kenrich Williams, and Jaylin Williams (hip) all stand to gain value.Source: NBA Injury Report
Jonathan Kuminga Won't Return On Sunday
2 weeks agoGolden State Warriors forward Jonathan Kuminga (ankle) won't return to Sunday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. Kuminga was forced to exit in the middle of the second quarter after suffering a right ankle injury. The expectation is Kuminga will undergo further testing to determine the severity of the injury. For now, fantasy managers should consider Kuminga as day-to-day, but they should get an update on his status soon. Gui Santos and Buddy Hield should both benefit with more playing time with Kuminga not returning on Sunday.Source: Warriors
LeBron James Expected To Suit Up Monday
2 weeks agoLos Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (groin) is listed as probable ahead of Monday's game against the Houston Rockets. James has played in five straight games following a seven-game absence. He has been a regular on the injury report, but James usually does play. He doesn't appear to be impacted on the court by this groin issue, so fantasy managers should expect James to be out there. Fantasy managers should double check ahead of tip-off just in case something happens pre-game.Source: NBA Injury Report
