Zach LaVine Continues Blistering January
Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine continued his new year's resolution of scoring as many points as possible on Monday against the Milwaukee Bucks.

Kemba Walker is Expected to Play on Monday
Boston Celtics guard Kemba Walker (knee) is expected to play in Monday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. Walker has been dealing with left knee soreness, but the MRI came back clean.

Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving (hamstring) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. This is surprising news since Irving wasn't on the injury report heading into this game. Spencer Dinwiddie will see more minutes and a higher usage without Irving on the court.

Austin Rivers Might Play Monday
Houston Rockets guard Austin Rivers (thumb) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. He sat out of Saturday's contest due to a sprained right thumb.

Dennis Smith Jr. Will Remain Sidelined Monday
New York Knicks guard Dennis Smith Jr. (oblique) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. He's been making progress, but it's unclear when Smith will get back on the court. Fantasy owners should consider Smith out indefinitely at this point.

Rajon Rondo is Questionable Against Celtics
Los Angeles Lakers guard Rajon Rondo (finger) was listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Boston Celtics. He's missed each of the last three games due to a finger issue.

James Harden Sinks 16 Free Throws During 34-Point Outing
Houston Rockets point/shooting guard James Harden continued his league-wide scoring barrage during Saturday’s defeat to the Los Angeles Lakers, collecting 34 points on 8-for-20 shooting.

Dejounte Murray Picks Up Questionable Tag For Sunday
San Antonio Spurs point/shooting guard Dejounte Murray has been deemed questionable to suit up for Sunday’s contest versus the Miami Heat due to an illness.

Michael Carter-Williams Cleared To Make Return Saturday
Orlando Magic point/shooting guard Michael Carter-Williams will return to action Saturday versus the Golden State Warriors following a 13-game absence due to an AC joint sprain.
