Houston Rockets forward Tari Eason (leg) is considered questionable on Monday for the big-time matchup with the Oklahoma City Thunder. The team may keep him out for injury management reasons after his lower leg kept him out of a big chunk of games earlier this season. Dillon Brooks (knee), Amen Thompson (shoulder), and Alperen Sengun (back) are all questionable too, so if Eason does play, he should get plenty of minutes. On the other hand, Jabari Smith Jr. would see a big uptick in minutes. Then, the other open minutes would potentially be split by Cam Whitmore, Jock Landale, and maybe even Jeff Green. Smith was the only one to play in their last game and registered five points, seven rebounds, and one block.

Houston Rockets forward Dillon Brooks (knee) has been listed as questionable for the Monday night matchup with the Oklahoma City Thunder due to a knee contusion. Brooks was able to clock 30 minutes on the court in their last game on Saturday, but he's now one of three starters considered questionable while Fred VanVleet (ankle) has been ruled out. If Brooks is unable to suit up, Jabari Smith Jr. may move into the starting five while Cam Whitmore could see some minutes after getting a DNP-CD in their last game. Smith registered five points, seven rebounds, and one block on Saturday against the Sacramento Kings.

According to Austin Krell of OnPattison.com,Portland Trail Blazers forwardJerami Grant(knees) has been ruled out ahead of Monday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. Grant will miss his third straight game due to lingering knee issues. Deni Avdija, Shaedon Sharpe, Kris Murray, and Scoot Henderson will likely see more minutes on the floor this evening. Sharpe has played well while Grant has been out of action, as he's registered at least 15 points in the last two contests.

Houston Rockets point guardFred VanVleet(ankle) won't play on Monday against the Oklahoma City Thunder. VanVleet returned on Saturday after sitting out 11 straight games due to a right ankle strain. He played in 35 minutes, but it appears that he had re-injured his ankle. The 31-year-old could potentially be back in action on Tuesday versus the Pacers. Amen Thompson (shoulder) will be back at point guard while VanVleet is on the shelf. However, Thompson is currently questionable for Monday's contest as he is dealing with soreness in his right shoulder.

Washington Wizards guardMalcolm Brogdon(ankle) remains out on Monday night against the Miami Heat. Brogdon will miss his sixth straight game due to a sprained left ankle. The Wizards also won't haveJordan Poole(elbow), who is sidelined because of a hyperextended right elbow. As a result,Bilal CoulibalyandBub Carringtonwill likely handle things in the backcourt, with the duo combining for 28 points in Saturday's loss to the Magic. Veteran Marcus Smart could also see extra minutes this evening.
