Memphis Grizzlies forward/center Xavier Tillman Sr. (knee) could miss a second straight game on Monday versus Toronto, with the team listing him as questionable. He also had the questionable tag ahead of Saturday's game against Chicago and didn't suit up. Santi Aldama recorded his sixth start of the season in Tillman Sr.'s absence. The Spaniard was quiet at the weekend but has previously done well in the starting unit, averaging 13.7 points and 6.0 rebounds in the role.
Boston Celtics forward/center Al Horford won't play on Sunday against the Rockets. The C's will head to Dallas after Sunday's contest, so the veteran will take the night off to rest ahead of Monday's matchup. That said, Horford hasn't been a consistently reliable fantasy option this season. However, his absence could allow Luke Kornet to get more involved. Kornet has averaged 6.4 points, 5.4 rebounds, and 1.2 blocks without Horford in the lineup, so he warrants streaming for those looking to fill the void in their lineup.
Boston Celtics guard Jrue Holiday (elbow) won't play on Sunday against the Houston Rockets. He's been dealing with a sprained elbow for weeks, so fantasy managers could be without him at times until the issue is resolved. Unfortunately, the former Buck has averaged only 13.1 points this season, a significant step down from the 2022-23 campaign. However, Holiday's absence will at least open up minutes for Sam Hauser, who is averaging 7.5 points and 4.3 rebounds in four starts this season, to warrant streaming in deep fantasy leagues.
Memphis Grizzlies center Xavier Tillman Sr. (knee) won't play on Saturday against the Bulls. The big man was questionable throughout Saturday because of left knee soreness. However, Tillman will join the long list of injured Grizzlies players. Nevertheless, Santi Aldama will roll with the first five, with the 23-year-old averaging 15.4 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 2.2 assists in five starts this season. Fantasy managers should consider Aldama a viable fantasy option in all formats.
Memphis Grizzlies center Xavier Tillman Sr. (knee) is questionable for Saturday's meeting with the Chicago Bulls. Tillman recently logged 36 minutes in Thursday's loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves, amassing 10 points. However, he's battling with left knee soreness, which may be enough to keep him off the floor. With Memphis dealing with more than a few injuries to several key players on the roster, the door may open for Santi Aldama and GG Jackson II to get more involved, meaning they will be worth streaming if Tillman can't play.
