The Minnesota Timberwolves are listing guard Mike Conley (rest) as out for Monday's contest versus the Charlotte Hornets. Conley last sat out on Jan. 10 against the Boston Celtics for rest purposes as well, and Minnesota is opting to keep the veteran floor general out against a 9-31 Hornets team. The T-Wolves have another cushy draw on tap for Wednesday when they meet the 7-35 Washington Wizards in D.C., but fantasy managers should still expect Conley back for that one. Three-and-D swingman Nickeil Alexander-Walker drew the spot start at the point when Conley was last out, supplying a full stat line with 15 points, four rebounds, three assists, three triples, one steal, and one block in a season-high 40 minutes during that Jan. 10 meeting. Jordan McLaughlin is also in line for an uptick in minutes from Minny's second unit.

The Boston Celtics have listed center Kristaps Porzingis (knee) as out for Monday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. Monday is the second night of Boston's back-to-back, so they will hold the oft-injured Latvian All-Star out of this revenge game against his former team due to inflammation in his right knee. Porzingis dropped a game-high 32 points with six three-pointers and five blocks in Sunday's road win over the Houston Rockets, and fantasy managers should expect him back in the Celtics' lineup for Thursday's showdown with the Miami Heat. Veteran Al Horford (rest) is off the injury report versus the Mavericks and is the most likely candidate to join the starting five. In nine contests without Porzingis this year, Horford is chipping in 10.6 points, 8.4 rebounds, 3.9 assists, 2.3 threes, and 1.8 swats per game.

Charlotte Hornets guard LaMelo Ball (ankle) is regarded as questionable for Monday's game against Minnesota. He sat out the second leg of a back-t0-back last time out and could now miss further action. Cody Martin rejoined the starting unit without Ball on Saturday and had a good game defensively but continued to struggle in the attack. Scoring won't be easy for Charlotte on Monday either, even with Ball in action, as Minnesota is ranked first in defensive efficiency.

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.

Philadelphia 76ers forward Robert Covington (knee) will remain out of the lineup Monday versus San Antonio. Knee trouble will keep him off the court for a 10th consecutive game. Covington has made a minimal impact even when healthy this season, and his absence changes very little for the 76ers. The 33-year-old has averaged 4.4 points and 3.3 rebounds in 16.8 minutes across 29 games.
