Philadelphia 76ers guard Tyrese Maxey (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Monday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. The young guard will miss his second straight game due to a left ankle sprain. The absence of Maxey means that Patrick Beverley will likely draw another start. He finished with 17 points, four rebounds, and 11 assists during their last game. He probably won't have a repeat performance, but Beverley is still a viable streaming choice for Monday's slate.

Philadelphia 76ers forward Tobias Harris (illness) will suit up for Monday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. Harris missed their last game but was tagged as questionable heading into this contest. He mentioned earlier in the day that he intended on suiting up for Monday's game. Harris will be asked to take on a big role with both Joel Embiid (knee) and Tyrese Maxey (ankle) both sidelined. Fantasy managers in season-long formats should make sure to get Harris back in their lineups. Harris looks to be a popular DFS option for Monday's slate.

Phoenix Suns guard Grayson Allen (ankle) won't return to Monday's game against the Miami Heat. Allen was forced to exit early due to an ankle issue and won't play in the second half of this contest. His absence means that Eric Gordon and Josh Okogie should see more run during the second half of Monday's game. It wouldn't be surprising to see Gordon move into the starting five, assuming Allen misses additional time. If that happens, Gordon would be worth a look as a streaming option in most fantasy formats.

Phoenix Suns center Jusuf Nurkic (thumb) will return on Monday after a quick, one-game absence due to a left thumb sprain. The 29-year-old big man has been a quality asset for fantasy teams this season as he's averaged 11.6 points, 10.3 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 1.0 steals, 1.0 blocks, and 2.0 turnovers per game. Now that he was officially deemed healthy enough to play, he should be inserted in all fantasy lineups regardless of format. Even in DFS lineups, he gives good value for his price point most nights. Monday night's game will likely be a defensive and rebound battle as he goes up against Bam Adebayo.

Boston Celtics centers Kristaps Porzingis (ankle) and Luke Kornet (hamstring) have both been downgraded to out on Monday and will not play against the New Orleans Pelicans. Originally, Porzingis was questionable while Kornet was doubtful for this contest. This will be Porzingis' second consecutive missed game while Kornet was able to clock 17 minutes in their last game. The good news for the Celtics is that Al Horford was upgraded to active, so he'll likely get the bulk of the minutes at center and will run with the starting five as well. Horford will be the number-one streaming option while Neemias Queta could make an appearance and possibly be streamed in very deep leagues.
