Detroit Pistons forward Tobias Harris (heel) will not suit up for Monday's contest against the Sacramento Kings. He has been downgraded from questionable to out, resulting in his third consecutive absence. Dennis Schroder will remain in the starting unit on Monday, while Harris' absence also elevates the fantasy value of Ausar Thompson and Malik Beasley. Harris has played in only one of the last five games, so it remains to be seen whether he will recover well enough from his heel injury to be available for Thursday's matchup against the New York Knicks.

Detroit Pistons center Jalen Duren (lower leg) will hop back into action on Monday against the Sacramento Kings. He is set to return from a one-game absence, having shaken off a questionable tag. On Monday, Duren has a chance to register his first five-game double-double streak of the season. He has averaged 15.8 points and 13.8 boards with 1.8 blocks over his past four appearances. Duren finished this season's first meeting with the Kings with 13 points and 10 rebounds. However, Domantas Sabonis, who leads the NBA in rebounding, skipped that game. Monday's battle on the boards promises to be more challenging for Duren.

Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirerreports that Philadelphia 76ers forwardJustin Edwards(ribs) won't suit up against the Miami Heat on Monday. Edwards left Saturday's contest versus Minnesota due to a rib contusion and will be out of action Monday. His next opportunity to return to the floor is Wednesday against the Wizards. While the 21-year-old is sidelined, Lonnie Walker will likely see an uptick in minutes. Walker finished with 18 points, three rebounds, five assists and one block in 38 minutes against the Timberwolves in his last appearance.

Sacramento Kings guard Keon Ellis (hand) will be in action on Monday against the Detroit Pistons. Following Sunday's win over the Cleveland Cavaliers, Ellis has been nursing a sore right hand and was initially regarded as questionable for Monday's game. Sunday's contest marked Ellis' ninth consecutive start. As a member of the first unit, he is averaging 10.0 points, 3.3 rebounds, 2.4 assists, and 2.2 steals this season. However, Ellis has struggled offensively in recent games, managing only 14 points over four games before wrapping up Sunday's action with 11 points.

Sacramento Kings forward Keegan Murray (back) has been ruled out for Monday's matchup against the Detroit Pistons. He sat out Sunday's contest against the Cleveland Cavaliers due to a back problem and is not ready to return for Monday night, with the team downgrading Murray's status from questionable to out. Trey Lyles figures to remain in the starting lineup as Murray's replacement. He had a fairly quiet outing against the Cavaliers on Sunday, finishing with seven points, eight rebounds, and two steals in 40 minutes. However, the Pistons had trouble stopping Lyles in this season's first head-to-head matchup when he fired in four three-point bombs during a 20-point effort.
