Boston Celtics guard/forward Jaylen Brown (knee) is back on the injury report ahead of Monday's clash with Toronto. He's considered questionable for the contest due to right knee hyperextension. Al Horford or Sam Hauser should get the start if Brown can't play on Monday. It's also worth noting that Kristaps Porzingis had his best game as a Celtic with Brown out last month against Detroit, and Jayson Tatum always gets a usage boost without him as well.

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (knee) is questionable to play against the Lakers on Monday. The Thunder star has sprained his right knee and could be absent for the first time this season. Josh Giddey should receive a big boost without Gilgeous-Alexander on the court, while Cason Wallace and Isaiah Joe would be candidates to step into the starting unit. Joe is the better player but has been far from a reliable fantasy option.

Memphis Grizzlies guard Desmond Bane (ankle) has been diagnosed with a grade 3 ankle sprain and the team announced that he will be re-evaluated in six weeks. This comes as a huge blow to the already depleted Grizzlies that will deal without Ja Morant (shoulder) for the rest of the season. Marcus Smart (finger) is also set to miss some time, so it seems Jacob Gilyard, Luke Kennard, David Roddy, Vince Williams Jr., and GG Jackson II will all see more time while the former four names should remain in the starting five like they did on Saturday. Williams, Gilyard, and Kennard seem to be good streaming candidates regardless of league size while Roddy and Jackson are better suited in deep leagues. Fantasy managers will want to keep an eye on Bane's status, because if the team is very far out of contention by the time Bane is able to return, they may think it isn't worth it.

New Orleans Pelicans forward Zion Williamson (quad) will only need to miss one game for a quad contusion after he was listed as probable for the team's game on Monday against the Dallas Mavericks. He missed their last game against the Mavericks on Saturday and the Pelicans still put up a 10-point win. Now, Williamson returns along with Trey Murphy III (knee), CJ McCollum (ankle), and Brandon Ingram (Achilles). Williamson's averages are down across the board so far this season, but he's been showing flashes of returning to the level that everyone once expected. The biggest plus for him this year is that he's been healthier than in recent seasons.

New Orleans Pelicans guard CJ McCollum (ankle) and Trey Murphy III (knee) have both been tagged as probable to play against the Dallas Mavericks on Monday. Both play big roles in the team's offensive success on both the starting and reserve units. McCollum and Murphy were forced to miss their last game against the Mavericks on Saturday and the team still managed to pull out a 10-point win. Now, the entire starting five is expected to play with Murphy leading the bench squad against a depleted Mavericks team that will likely be without Luka Doncic (ankle). Both McCollum and Murphy are startable players in all fantasy formats and league sizes right now.
