Portland Trail Blazers guard Shaedon Sharpe (abdominal) is set to miss at least two weeks of action. Sharpe has missed each of the last two games before the Blazers decided to shut him down for the next two weeks. After that, Sharpe will be re-evaluated, but could continue to miss time after being looked at again. Kris Murray and Rayan Rupert have been seeing larger roles in the rotation. Murray could be a deep league option while Sharpe is sidelined. Malcolm Brogdon and Matisse Thybulle figure to gain the most value from the loss of Sharpe.

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) is active ahead of Monday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. The superstar forward came into this game as questionable due to a lingering ankle issue. Despite that, James will make his return to the court after a one-game absence. James will resume his role in the starting five and should play his normal role in the rotation. Fantasy managers can feel safe getting James back in their lineups on Monday.

Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray (tibia) has popped up on the injury report and has been listed as questionable with bilateral tibia inflammation. The 26-year-old hasn't missed a game since December 12 and was able to play a full 36 minutes on Sunday in an eight-point win over the Indiana Pacers. With Murray's injury history, the Nuggets may play it safe and give him a rest day if the tibia is bothering him that much. If that's the case, and he has to miss the game against the Philadelphia 76ers, Reggie Jackson would be the first candidate to take over the starting spot. He has registered some big nights when he gets the start, so he'd be a very good streaming option while Christian Braun could be a good option in deeper leagues.

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (hip) has been tagged as questionable for their Tuesday matchup against the Philadelphia 76ers. This is a much-anticipated matchup to see the reigning MVP Joel Embiid go up against the former two-time MVP Jokic. Everyone will have to wait and see if he's able to play through a left hip strain though. The Serbian superstar has only missed one other game so far this season, so it wouldn't be surprising if the team decided to play it safe. If he's unable to play, DeAndre Jordan would likely move into the starting five while Jay Huff or Zeke Nnaji would get some added minutes off of the bench. Jordan would be the better streaming option of the three though.

Chicago Bulls forward Patrick Williams (ankle) has been downgraded to out on Monday and will not face the Cleveland Cavaliers. This is his second consecutive absence due to the right ankle strain that he suffered against the Golden State Warriors. Williams has started in most of his games this year but it hasn't produced that much better of a fantasy performance to make him a must-roster player in shallower leagues. While he's sidelined, however, Ayo Dosunmu should receive more minutes like he did last game. He could be a solid streaming option after he produced 21 points, four assists, two rebounds, one steal, and two turnovers in the game against the San Antonio Spurs.
