On Monday, Memphis Grizzlies guardJa Morant(shoulder) will be unavailable to suit up against the Atlanta Hawks. Morant will miss his second straight game due to right shoulder pain. With the 25-year-old sidelined, Luke KennardandScotty Pippen Jr.will likely see an uptick in minutes. Pippen has a slightly higher upside as a solid fantasy option for this evening. He started in place of Morant on Saturday, likely leading to him starting again on Monday.

Memphis Grizzlies forward/center Santi Aldama (calf) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. He landed on the injury report late with a right calf soreness and has been downgraded from questionable to out. Aldama has been among the league's most productive bench performers and started the last game against the San Antonio Spurs. With him out, Memphis will have a significant gap to fill. Brandon Clarke and GG Jackson II may feature more in the rotation, though they are far from must-have fantasy options.

Utah Jazz forward Lauri Markkanen (back) is not ready to return to the lineup on Monday against the Detroit Pistons. He will skip a fifth consecutive contest as the Finnish star continues to manage a lower back injury. Markkanen's continued absence should result in another start for Brice Sensabaugh, who led the Jazz starters with 21 points in Sunday's loss to the New Orleans Pelicans. The 21-year-old has averaged 14.8 points and 3.0 rebounds as a first-unit member this season.

Atlanta Hawks point guard Trae Young (Achilles) is good to go for Monday's tilt against the Memphis Grizzlies. After being initially listed as probable on the injury report, he has received the green light to play. Young's shooting has been off since the All-Star break, but he has remained a double-double machine. Across the past six games, the Hawks star has averaged 24.6 points and 10.5 assists. He could produce something really special on Monday, as this matchup features teams ranked 1-2 in pace.

According to Danielle Lerner of the Houston Chronicle, Houston Rockets forwardTari Eason(leg) will be out of the lineup for Monday's matchup with the Oklahoma City Thunder due to left lower leg injury management. With Eason sidelined, Jabari Smith will likely be in the starting lineup and take on extra minutes. Smith was on the floor for 20 minutes on Saturday against the Kings, posting five points, seven assists, and one block.
