Dallas Mavericks forward/center Maxi Kleber (nose) has been listed as probable for Monday's contest against Washington. Kleber recently suffered a nasal fracture but has been playing through the injury and is expected to remain in the lineup on Monday. The 32-year-old looked very good on Saturday versus OKC with a 12-point, 12-rebound double-double. He remained a starter despite the additions of Daniel Gafford and P.J. Washington at the trade deadline. His place in the rotation appears secure for now, with Dereck Lively (nose) remaining on the shelf.

Portland Trail Blazers guard Malcolm Brogdon (elbow) will be forced to sit out some time, with the team announcing that he will be re-evaluated in two weeks. He has missed a pair of games with a knee issue and an illness lately, but Brogdon is now dealing with tendinitis in his right elbow. With the injury bug having taken out a number of backcourt players, Ashton Hagans has seen quite a bit of action after inking a 10-day contract, while Dalano Banton and Matisse Thybulle also benefit.

Milwaukee Bucks guard Damian Lillard (ankle) is expected to suit up on Monday after receiving a probable status for their game against the Denver Nuggets. The star point guard returned from a two-game absence on Friday to the tune of 26 points, eight assists, four rebounds, and three steals across 29 minutes. He'll remain cemented in fantasy lineups as long as he's healthy enough to be on the court. So far, in his first season with the Bucks, Lillard is averaging 25.0 points, 6.8 assists, 4.2 rebounds, and 1.1 steals per game while shooting 42.7% from the floor. Some of his numbers have taken a hit, but he's been growing more comfortable playing alongside another superstar talent.

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) popped up on the injury report again but he's listed as probable to take on Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets on Monday night. The former MVP has spent plenty of time on the injury report this season but has only missed two games so far this year. The last time he had to sit out was January 17 and he's been racking up big games since then. Antetokounmpo is always a must-start caliber player as he averages a double-double to go along with 6.3 assists, 1.4 steals, and 1.1 blocks per game. Damian Lillard (ankle) is also listed as probable, so that should mean the offense will be firing on all cylinders.

Dallas Mavericks center Dereck Lively II (nose) won't play on Monday against Washington. The rookie underwent a procedure a week ago to address his fractured nose. Although the injury wasn't expected to keep him out of the lineup for long, fantasy managers shouldn't be shocked to see him off the floor until after the All-Star break. At any rate, Lively's stock has fallen since the team acquired Daniel Gafford and P.J. Washington ahead of the deadline. However, he should remain in the starting lineup and get most of the minutes in the middle once he's back, although his workload could be lessened, especially if Gafford continues to play well.
