Boston Celtics guard Jaylen Brown (pelvis) is questionable for Monday's matchup with the Portland Trail Blazers. He carried the same designation heading into Saturday's win over the Phoenix Suns. However, the 2016 No. 3 overall pick still played and finished with 27 points and two steals. At any rate, Jayson Tatum (ankle), Derrick White (hand), and Jrue Holiday (knee) are also questionable, while Kristaps Porzingis (hamstring) will miss his second consecutive game. As a result, it's hard to gauge who will be available for the C's. But it's reasonable to assume guys like Payton Pritchard and Sam Hauser will have streaming value, so fantasy managers should grab one (or both) of them off the waiver wire.


Portland Trail Blazers guard Malcolm Brogdon (elbow) has been ruled out for a 15th consecutive game due to elbow tendinitis. Head coach Chauncey Billups said that Brogdon was progressing a bit, but there was still discomfort and pain in his elbow. There's no need to rush him back to the court since the Blazers are only a couple of games away from getting eliminated from playoff contention. Scoot Henderson will continue to see starter's minutes while Anfernee Simons and Dalano Banton also get plenty of opportunities in the backcourt. Henderson and Banton could be streaming options in deeper leagues since Simons is already rostered in most leagues.


Boston Celtics center Kristaps Porzingis (hamstring) won't suit up on Monday against Portland. The 28-year-old last played on Thursday in Denver, amassing 24 points, 12 boards, and one block. However, he's been out since then because of hamstring tightness. Head coach Joe Mazzulla indicated Porzingis is day-to-day, so he should be back soon, barring a setback. But in the meantime, Al Horford should remain in the starting lineup. In addition, Luke Kornet, coming off a 14-point, six-rebound performance on Saturday versus Phoenix, deserves streaming consideration.


Houston Rockets center Alperen Sengun (knee/ankle) had to be taken off the court in a wheelchair during the fourth quarter of their game against the Sacramento Kings on Sunday. The up-and-coming big man seemingly suffered a bad knee injury and wasn't able to get up for a while. He ultimately couldn't put any weight on his leg which called for the wheelchair to come out. According to Adrian Wojnarowski, the team will perform an MRI on both his right knee and ankle, so fantasy managers will have to stay tuned. If he has to miss extended time, the next center on the depth chart is Jock Landale. Jeff Green has also seen some minutes at center and Boban Marjanovic is their third option.


Oklahoma City Thunder forward Jalen Williams (ankle) landed awkwardly on a cameraman in the second quarter of Sunday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. He promptly went back to the locker room and the team announced it was a sprained right ankle and he would not return to the game. Cason Wallace was the one to start in his place for the second half as the Thunder were having an easy time with the short-handed Grizzlies. It seems more than likely that Williams will miss at least one game with a sprained ankle, but the official report will probably come out on Monday. If that's the case, Wallace and Josh Giddey would both see more opportunities and could be solid streaming options.
