Philadelphia 76ers head coach Nick Nurse said forward Tobias Harris (ankle) and guard De'Anthony Melton (back) practiced on Monday. Robert Covington (illness) and Furkan Korkmaz (illness) were also seen at the session. Harris exited Friday's blowout loss to the New York Knicks early and is nursing soreness in his left ankle after missing Saturday's second half of a back-to-back. The versatile 31-year-old has some extra time to recover with the Sixers off until Wednesday against the Atlanta Hawks. Melton, on the other hand, has missed three straight outings due to lumbar spine soreness, so his presence back on the court is certainly encouraging. Kelly Oubre Jr. has averaged 14.0 points, 4.6 rebounds, 2.1 treys, and 1.2 steals in 14 starts for Philly this year and would likely continue to do so if one or both of Harris and Melton remain off the floor on Wednesday.

Philadelphia 76ers head coach Nick Nurse said center Joel Embiid (knee) did not practice on Monday and hopes he'll get some activity in on Tuesday. The Sixers could be managing Embiid's practice reps, and he'll have until Wednesday's stop in Atlanta against the Hawks to get back on the court after missing Saturday's second game of a back-to-back with swelling in his left knee. The 29-year-old two-time scoring champion is on a rampage right now, notching 15 consecutive 30-point, 10-rebound efforts with averages of 36.8 points, 12.3 rebounds, 6.1 assists, 1.2 triples, and 3.6 combined steals and plus blocks over this period. Paul Reed could start at the five for Philly again on Wednesday if Embiid can't get cleared.

The Boston Celtics say that neither forward Jayson Tatum (ankle) nor Sam Hauser (shoulder) will be available on Monday against the Indiana Pacers. The Celtics have been managing Tatum's sprained left ankle since he suffered the injury on Dec. 19, and they'll hope he can return for Wednesday's showdown versus the Minnesota Timberwolves. Hauser's status is worth noting as well because he would have been a likely candidate to replace Tatum in Boston's starting lineup. Depending on how head coach Joe Mazzulla lines things up against the Pacers, it leaves Al Horford and Payton Pritchard in play as possible DFS options. In 12 games as a starter this season, Horford is averaging 8.8 points, 7.8 rebounds, 3.9 assists, 1.7 threes, and 1.5 blocks in 31.3 minutes.

Boston Celtics center Kristaps Porzingis (eye) will be available for Monday's rematch with the Indiana Pacers after exiting Saturday's tilt following six minutes of action. Porzingis is dealing with irritation in his right eye after Aaron Nesmith poked him in their last time out, but it won't be enough to hold him out of this contest. The 28-year-old sharpshooting big man is returning third-round fantasy numbers in nine-category leagues during his Celtics debut season, amassing 19.8 points on 53.6% shooting from the field, 7.1 rebounds, 1.7 three-pointers, and 1.7 blocks per game. Porzingis should not face any minute restrictions on Monday, and he finds himself in a potential eruption spot with Jayson Tatum (ankle) out against a Pacers defense bleeding the second-most points per game (124.1) this year.

Miami Heat guard/forward Caleb Martin (ankle) looks set to miss another game on Monday, as the team has tagged him doubtful for a clash with the Rockets. Miami has been five games without him already as Martin recovers from a right ankle sprain. The Heat also won't have Jimmy Butler (toe) on Monday, so it's likely Nikola Jovic will log another start. He's had four starts overall across the season, averaging 8.0 points and 6.3 rebounds in the role. Jovic tends to be very inconsistent and will be a risky choice for fantasy managers on Monday.
