Houston Rockets guard Fred VanVleet helped lead his team to a 122-104 victory over the Sacramento Kings on Sunday. The veteran point guard was on the court for 38 minutes, recording 22 points (5-of-8 FGs, 10-of-10 FTs) while grabbing four rebounds, nine assists, two steals, and two 3-pointers. VanVleet has been on fire lately, collecting 21 points in three of the last five Rockets contests. Despite a low field-goal percentage for most of the season, the 30-year-old remains a valuable asset to fantasy managers who have him rostered.


Milwaukee Bucks guard Damian Lillard came close to collecting a triple-double against the Clippers on Sunday. He had 11 assists, grabbed seven rebounds, and scored 35 points. Lillard has been on top of the game lately offensively, registering at least four assists and 16 points in each of his last five games for the Bucks. The 33-year-old superstar continues to be an elite player, and he is a must-start anytime he is on the court.


Boston Celtics guard Jrue Holiday (knee) is listed as questionable ahead of Monday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. This is bad timing for the Celtics with multiple guards all on the injury report together. Holiday is joined by Derrick White (hand) and Jaylen Brown (groin) as questionable for Monday. If they can't play, Payton Pritchard and Sam Hauser could be looking at bigger roles in the rotation. Fantasy managers will have to check back on Monday for another update on their status.


Boston Celtics guard Derrick White (hand) is listed as questionable ahead of Monday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. At the moment, it appears White is in danger of missing this game due to a left hand sprain. The team will likely wait and see how it feels on Monday before making any final decisions. The Celtics are banged up right now with Jaylen Brown (groin) and Jrue Holiday (knee) questionable for this game as well. If they sit, Payton Pritchard and Sam Hauser could be looking at significant playing time during Monday's game.


Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) is active ahead of Sunday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. James is back in the lineup after sitting out of Friday's game. Fellow superstar Anthony Davis (shoulder) will also be active for this game. Both players are expected to return to their normal roles in the starting five. They should be fine for solid outings against the banged up Wolves' roster. Fantasy managers should make sure to get both James and Davis in there before tip-off.
