Cleveland Cavaliers center Jarrett Allen (ankle) is questionable against the Sacramento Kings on Monday as he deals with an ankle sprain. The ankle wasn't much of an issue in their last contest against the San Antonio Spurs on Saturday as he saw the court for 30 minutes and posted 26 points, 16 rebounds, and one turnover while shooting 12-for-18 from the floor. Allen hasn't had to miss a game since his four-game absence in the beginning of the season. This seems to be more of a game-time decision, so fantasy managers will have to wait and see the updates leading into the pregame warmups. As a backup plan, if Allen can't suit up in this contest, Evan Mobley will take on more of the frontcourt responsibilities while Caris LeVert and Georges Niang will see some added opportunities as well.


Sacramento Kings forward Sasha Vezenkov (ankle) is in danger of missing his seventh consecutive game after the team officially listed him as questionable against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Monday. The 28-year-old hasn't exactly found a rhythm in his role with the team just yet and the more time he misses, the less of a chance he has to build back up into receiving more minutes on the floor. He's seen 12.7 minutes a night across 33 games so far this year which hasn't made him very fantasy-relevant in most leagues. If he gets downgraded to out again on Monday, Trey Lyles should continue to see the bulk of the backup forward minutes while the starters receive a heavy workload.


Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) has been listed as questionable again for their Monday night game against the Charlotte Hornets. While James was unable to play two games ago against the Boston Celtics, he played 40 minutes against the New York Knicks on Saturday. With a heavy workload in that game, the Lakers could decide to let him rest in this one against a weaker opponent. Anthony Davis (Achilles/hip) is also listed as questionable, however, so they may still need James on the floor. Fantasy managers will want to check back in for any updates as the game gets closer. If James can't suit up, Austin Reaves and Taurean Prince would see some heavy minutes while Rui Hachimura would get some more action too.


Los Angeles Lakers forward/center Anthony Davis (Achilles/hip) has been tagged as questionable for the team's contest against the Charlotte Hornets on Monday. The superstar big man has been dealing with both a hip and Achilles issue for a while and has come up on the injury report as questionable many times. Fantasy managers will want to check back for updates after the team goes through their shootaround and warmups. Davis ended up playing a full 36 minutes in their last game against the New York Knicks which was an eight-point win where he posted a double-double with four blocks. If he's unable to play, then Jaxson Hayes would receive some extra playing time.


Philadelphia 76ers forward Robert Covington (knee) hasn't played at all since the turn of the new year and that streak will continue as the team has ruled him out again for the Monday night contest against the Dallas Mavericks. He wasn't able to participate in practice either while Nick Nurse mentioned there's "not much light at the end of that tunnel," in regards to when he'll be back. There still isn't an official timetable, so only time will tell if he's able to return anytime soon or not. Marcus Morris Sr. and Kenyon Martin Jr. will continue to see minutes in the power forward spot while Covington and Nicolas Batum (hamstring) both remain out.
