Atlanta Hawks forward Saddiq Bey (ankle) could be out for a second consecutive game on Monday against the Clippers. Bey sprained his left ankle against Phoenix on Friday and wasn't available for Saturday's contest versus Golden State. Garrison Mathews took Bey's spot in the starting unit but logged only 16 minutes. Bogdan Bogdanovic ended up picking up extra shifts off the bench and logged nearly 40 minutes in an overtime game. He will be counted on a lot again if Bey can't play on Monday.
Portland Trail Blazers guard Malcolm Brogdon (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Denver Nuggets. This news comes after Brogdon was tagged as questionable coming into this game due to a right knee contusion. Jerami Grant (back) will join him on the sideline which will leave the Blazers shorthanded. Matisse Thybulle and Kris Murray will shift into the starting five to help fill the void. Although, Scoot Henderson and Toumani Camara might be the better streaming choices even with them coming off the bench.
Washington Wizards forward Kyle Kuzma (shoulder) is sidelined ahead of Sunday's game versus Phoenix. Kuzma logged 36 minutes on Friday night against the Miami Heat. He entered Saturday carrying a questionable tag. However, his sore shoulder will keep him off the floor for the meeting with the Suns. With Tyus Jones (ankle) and Bilal Coulibaly (back) questionable and Marvin Bagley III (concussion) out, Jordan Poole, Deni Avdija, and Daniel Gafford could see more scoring chances. At the same time, Corey Kispert, who had 26 points on Friday night, is likely to be a popular DFS option, regardless if Jones and Coulibaly are available.
Washington Wizards forward/center Marvin Bagley III (concussion) will remain out on Sunday versus the Phoenix Suns. This will mark his second consecutive absence due to concussion protocol, so his next chance to play will be Wednesday against the visiting Cleveland Cavaliers. It's a tough break for Bagley, who's played well since his trade from the Detroit Pistons. However, until he's ready to return, some of his minutes should be absorbed by Daniel Gafford, with the 25-year-old posting a double-double in three of his previous four appearances.
According to Kevin Chouinard of Hawks.com, forward Saddiq Bey (ankle) won't play in Saturday's matchup with the Golden State Warriors. The veteran sprained his ankle during Friday's win over the Phoenix Suns, ending his night after 16 minutes. But with De'Andre Hunter (knee) and Dejounte Murray (back) questionable entering the contest, it's anyone's guess who would benefit on the scoring end outside of Trae Young, Bogdan Bogdanovic, Jalen Johnson, and Onyeka Okongwu.
