Minnesota Timberwolves point guard Monte Morris (hamstring) has been listed as questionable for Saturday's matchup against Utah. The veteran guard is dealing with hamstring soreness, which has already kept him out for three games. Since joining the T-Wolves in February, Morris has averaged 5.3 points and 2.9 assists in 15.7 minutes. His absence has left the door open for Jordan McLaughlin to play a larger part in the rotation, but he's not a recommended fantasy target.
Washington Wizards guard Tyus Jones (back) is reportedly suffering from back spasms and has officially been listed as doubtful for their Saturday night matchup against the Chicago Bulls. This is going to be Jones' first missed game all season. He's been one of the only consistently available players for the Wizards this year, so fantasy managers will have to find a backup plan for once. Jones was able to play in their last game against the Houston Rockets and even played a full 31 minutes, so it's unclear when the issue came to light. In his place, Jordan Poole will probably move into the starting lineup again while Jared Butler should see some added minutes as well.
Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker (ankle) is available ahead of Monday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. As expected, Booker will play after being listed as probable coming into the game. Royce O'Neale will shift to the second unit, but will still be worth holding in deep leagues. The Suns are still without some players, which should give O'Neale more playing time off the bench. Fantasy managers should expect Booker to resume his normal role in the starting five for Monday's game.
Phoenix Suns guard/forward Devin Booker (ankle) appears ready to rejoin the action on Monday against Cleveland. The team has listed him as probable for the game. Booker has missed four contests with a right ankle sprain. Bradley Beal has had a strong stretch during his absence with extra usage, while Royce O'Neale has been logging minutes in the starting unit in his place. The Cavaliers are dealing with a number of injuries right now, meaning they could be easy prey for Booker on Monday night. The Suns star has posted 30-plus points twice in his past five appearances, averaging 28.0 points overall over the span.
Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker (ankle) was originally expected to miss 7-10 days with an ankle sprain, so it's not surprising that he's not supposed to play against the Boston Celtics on Saturday. Gary Washburn of the Boston Globe reported that head coach Frank Vogel told the media that Booker is doubtful for this contest, so there's an outside chance he plays. With that being said, fantasy managers should still look for a backup plan which could be either Grayson Allen or Eric Gordon. Both should get plenty of opportunities without Booker's offense on the floor, but Allen has been looking like the most consistent option.
