Chicago Bulls guard Alex Caruso (toe) has been listed as questionable again for their Monday night matchup with the Atlanta Hawks. He's still dealing with a toe contusion that hasn't bothered him enough to miss any games lately. He even played 36 minutes in their last game on Saturday and posted nine points, eight rebounds, one assist, one steal, and four blocks. Caruso has been great in deeper fantasy leagues since he usually posts an array of both offensive and defensive stats, but isn't elite at any single category. If he's unable to suit up in this one, Torrey Craig (toe) would likely move into the starting lineup and Dalen Terry would receive some extra minutes off of the bench.


Houston Rockets center Alperen Sengun (back) is questionable for Monday's game versus the Knicks. The 21-year-old is widely considered one of the best big men in the National Basketball Association. He missed his first game of the year on Saturday against the Hawks because of low back pain, allowing Jeff Green to enter the starting lineup. Green played well, amassing 19 points, six boards, and a block in 31 minutes of work, so he's definitely worth streaming if Sengun misses another game.


New York Knicks center Jericho Sims (illness) is expected to play on Monday against Houston. Under normal circumstances, Sims' availability won't mean much to fantasy managers. However, there's a chance he could start if Isaiah Hartenstein (Achilles) misses another game. But even if Sims gets more action versus the Rockets, his impact on the fantasy end should be minimal, considering Taj Gibson is anticipated to remain a part of the rotation as well.


New York Knicks forward/center Isaiah Hartenstein (Achilles) is questionable for Monday's matchup with the Houston Rockets. He's battling Achilles soreness, most recently keeping him off the floor for Saturday's loss to the Indiana Pacers. The Knicks desperately need him back underneath the rim. However, if Hartenstein can't return, Taj Gibson could remain in the starting lineup. That said, Gibson failed to score on Saturday in 19 minutes, so he's not exactly an attractive alternative for fantasy managers needing to fill a hole in their starting lineups.


Philadelphia 76ers center Mo Bamba (knee) is questionable for Monday's matchup against the Cleveland Cavaliers. The 25-year-old missed Saturday's meeting in Washington. However, fantasy managers are used to life without Bamba this season, considering he's missed 22 games already. There are minutes up for grabs until Joel Embiid (knee) returns. But regardless of whether Bamba can suit up, Paul Reed appears to remain a lock to absorb most of the minutes in the middle moving ahead.
