According to ESPN's Shams Charania, Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (groin) is "expected to miss at least 1-to-2 weeks." The 40-year-old had a massive 22 points, 14 rebounds, and nine assists in Saturday's 10-point loss to the Boston Celtics. However, he suffered a strained groin late in the contest. James will undergo another evaluation within the next 24 hours after letting the injury "calm down." Still, with the Lakers gearing up for a deep postseason push, it's certainly possible he could miss more time beyond the two-week estimation. The Lakers won eight-straight games entering Saturday night and currently sit at the third spot in the Western Conference. But Los Angeles has a tougher schedule for the remainder of the regular season, so it will be all hands on deck while James is away. With Rui Hachimura (knee) battling a knee injury, Dalton Knecht and Dorian Finney-Smith could be looking at more minutes (and starts) moving forward, with Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves the favorites to carry the load offensively.

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (elbow) finished Sunday's loss to OKC with 24 points, 13 rebounds, and nine assists. He also got after it on the defensive end by amassing three blocks and one steal. The three-time MVP injured his elbow early in the contest and slowed down the rest of the way. But head coach Michael Malone indicated after the game that Jokic was "fine," with the 30-year-old echoing the same with a bag of ice on his elbow. The Nuggets and Thunder will do it again on Monday night. But it sounds as if Jokic will be out there for the rematch. Still, fantasy managers could see his name on the injury report. If he can't suit up, DeAndre Jordan and Zeke Nnaji will split time in the middle, although Jamal Murray, Christian Braun, Michael Porter Jr., and Russell Westbrook should all benefit the most on the offensive end, even more so if Aaron Gordon (calf) can't play after exiting Sunday's loss with calf tightness.

Denver Nuggets forward Aaron Gordon (calf) didn't return to Sunday's loss to OKC. He looked good early on. However, the 29-year-old experienced calf tightness and exited the game after only seven minutes, finishing with five points and two rebounds. Gordon has had multiple stints on the shelf because of the calf injury this season, so nobody will be surprised if he misses more time moving ahead, including Monday's rematch with the Thunder. If Gordon is ruled out, Russell Westbrook will likely slide into the starting lineup. The 2016-17 MVP has averaged 14.5 points, 6.9 assists, 6.0 rebounds, and 1.6 steals in 29 starts this year.

New Orleans Pelicans forward Zion Williamson (rest) won't play on Sunday against Memphis. The former Duke Blue Devil logged 28 minutes in Saturday's blowout loss to the Rockets, finishing with a team-high 20 points with two steals. CJ McCollum (rest) will also take the night off. As a result, Jose Alvarado (hip), who is questionable, and Bruce Brown, who is off the injury report, could move into the starting lineup.

New Orleans Pelicans guard Jose Alvarado (hip) will play on Sunday against Memphis. He had 17 points and seven assists in Saturday's loss to the Houston Rockets. But Alvarado was listed as questionable for this one because of hip soreness, although that has been the norm over the last few games. With CJ McCollum and Zion Williamson resting versus the Grizzlies, Alvarado and Jordan Hawkins are both worth starting in any fantasy format.
