Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (foot) won't play on Monday night against the Clippers. The veteran returned from a four-game absence on Friday evening versus the Utah Jazz. However, he suffered a right foot injury, ending his night after only 23 minutes. Without question, the Heat will do all they can to keep Butler healthy, especially since he's battled various injuries throughout the 2023-24 campaign, so there's a chance he may miss more time during the Heat's road trip. Of course, it will be business as usual for Miami without Butler in the lineup, with Bam Adebayo, Tyler Herro, and Jaime Jaquez Jr. expected to lead the way offensively. On the other hand, Duncan Robinson and Jamal Cain are worth streaming for fantasy managers willing to take a risk.

Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (hip) is questionable ahead of Monday's meeting with the Miami Heat. Leonard has missed the last four games because of a left hip contusion. He practiced fully on Sunday. However, head coach Ty Lue couldn't say when Leonard would be back on the floor. Nonetheless, if the 32-year-old can't suit up for a fifth consecutive contest, Amir Coffey would presumably remain in the starting lineup. Coffey finished with 13 points and a steal in 31 minutes the other night against the Grizzlies. Unfortunately, he's not a trustworthy streaming option for those looking to fill the void in their lineups.

Charlotte Hornets center Mark Williams (back) is unlikely to return to action in Monday's meeting with Denver. He's again listed as doubtful on the injury report. A lower back contusion has kept Williams on the sidelines for 10 games, and the Hornets have no reason to rush him back with the season going nowhere. Nick Richards should get another start without Williams on Monday. He recently had a three-game double-double streak and has posted 8.9 points and 8.4 rebounds with 1.5 blocks in the role this season.

Milwaukee Bucks guard/forward MarJon Beauchamp (illness) is listed as questionable for Monday's clash with Indiana. The second-year player is battling an illness. Beauchamp hasn't played a big part in Milwaukee's rotation, but he's shown flashes of very good potential. The 23-year-old is averaging 4.9 points and 2.4 rebounds in 15.1 minutes. Pat Connaughton should soak in most of Beauchamp's minutes on Monday if he can't play.

Indiana Pacers guard/forward Bruce Brown (knee) will likely miss a fifth consecutive game on Monday against Milwaukee. He's officially regarded as doubtful for the contest. Brown's absence has given Andrew Nembhard a chance to join the starting five, and he should continue to benefit on Monday. The 23-year-old is averaging 11.3 points, 2.3 rebounds, and 5.3 assists for the season as a starter. Buddy Hield and Bennedict Mathurin have also seen a boost in playing time without Brown.
