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.
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.
New York Knicks center Isaiah Hartenstein (Achilles) won't play on Saturday versus Indiana. The seven-footer is out with a sore left Achilles after being limited to 15 minutes of action in the previous game against Dallas. Precious Achiuwa has become a key cog for the Knicks due to various frontcourt injuries and is set to feature heavily again on Saturday. Taj Gibson and Jericho Sims (illness) also have a chance to get extra work, but they typically don't make a large impact in games. The latter is also considered questionable for Saturday's clash.
Chicago Bulls guard Alex Caruso (groin) is available ahead of Tuesday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Caruso has been cleared to play and should resume his normal role in the starting five. He hasn't been great on offense but is solid when it comes to defensive production. Fantasy managers should double-check their lineups to ensure they don't have Caruso on the bench.
Oklahoma City Thunder forward Jalen Williams (ankle) is listed as questionable ahead of Tuesday's game against the Utah Jazz. Williams appears to be on track to return after missing each of the last three games. It's uncertain if Williams would be under a minute limit if he's able to suit up. Kenrich Williams would see a reduced role in the rotation if Williams can play. Fantasy managers will have to check back on Tuesday for another update.
