Sacramento Kings guard/forward Malik Monk could face a long absence after he injured his right knee in Friday's matchup against Dallas. According to The Athletic's Shams Charania, there are fears Monk might have suffered a sprained MCL. With him in fantastic form off the Kings bench, Vegas has made Monk the odds-on favorite to with the Sixth Man of the Year Award this season. He's tallied 15.4 points, 2.9 rebounds, and 5.1 assists in 26.0 minutes. The Kings have also recently lost Kevin Huerter (shoulder) for the rest of the season. The backcourt injured should give Davion Mitchell and Chris Duarte more playing opportunities.

According to Shams Charania of The Athletic, Detroit Pistons guard/forward Quentin Grimes (knee) will miss the remainder of the season. He's had trouble with his right knee for a bit, missing each of the team's last nine games. Grimes, who moved from New York to Detroit in February, will turn his focus on rehabbing lingering muscle soreness related to his knee injury. The campaign ends with averages of 7.0 points, 2.0 rebounds, and 1.3 steals for the 23-year-old, who logged 20.1 minutes of playing time across 51 games with the Knicks and Pistons.

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (hamstring) is expected to suit up for Saturday's game against Atlanta. The multi-time MVP remains on the injury report because of left hamstring tendinopathy. While the ailment cost him a few games, he's been available for Milwaukee's previous four contests, most recently logging 39 minutes in the loss to the Pelicans on Friday. He played well in that one, scoring a game-high 35 points and 14 rebounds, meaning the injury shouldn't discourage DFS managers from getting him in their lineups.

New Orleans Pelicans guard Jose Alvarado (oblique) is out on Saturday against the Celtics. This will be his second consecutive absence because of a strained oblique. Alvarado has taken a step back from a production standpoint since last season, averaging 6.9 points, 2.3 rebounds, and 1.1 steals. He's also had issues staying on the floor due to various ailments. With that said, CJ McCollum will handle most of the work at the one spot versus Boston, with Jordan Hawkins picking up a few minutes in relief. However, Hawkins scored only two points in 15 minutes in Thursday's win over the Bucks, so he'll be hard to trust for fantasy purposes.

Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert (ribs) will play against Denver on Friday. He has been upgraded from questionable to available as the French pivot continues to play through a left rib sprain. The injury hasn't really affected Gobert, who continues to be a walking double-double and an intimidating defensive presence under the rim. He will have a big role to play in slowing down Nikola Jokic on Friday, and Gobert's offensive efforts might suffer because of it. He posted only four points in his only previous matchup against the Nuggets this season.
