Anthony Davis Listed As Probable Against Spurs
Los Angeles Lakers center Anthony Davis (foot) remains on the injury report with plantar fasciitis but has been listed as probable for the team's first game in nearly a week. They've had their last few games postponed due to the wildfires in California, and it looks like they'll resume play in their home arena on Monday against the San Antonio Spurs. Davis has posted 26 double-doubles in 34 appearances this season and has recorded at least one block in 27 games. He remains one of the most valuable fantasy assets in the league.

Jeremy Sochan Tagged As Questionable On Monday
San Antonio Spurs forward Jeremy Sochan (back) has been tagged as questionable for their Monday night contest against the Los Angeles Lakers. The former ninth-overall pick missed their last game due to lower back tightness, but that could be all the time he needed to come back to the court. The Spurs will likely take the time from shootaround to warm-ups to see if his back feels okay enough to play. If he's unable to suit up, Harrison Barnes, Julian Champagnie, and Keldon Johnson will see some extra minutes. Johnson was the best of the three in their last outing with 24 points, 11 rebounds, and one assist.

Josh Richardson Considered Doubtful On Monday
Miami Heat guard/forward Josh Richardson (heel) draws a doubtful status for Monday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. He hasn't played since November 18 and has only appeared in eight games so far this season. The doubtful status seems to show that he's starting to trend in the right direction, but it's unclear how much more time he'll have to miss. With Jimmy Butler (suspended) also sidelined, Jamie Jaquez Jr. and Haywood Highsmith continue to start and deliver some valuable minutes along with Nikola Jovic.

Bam Adebayo Available Monday Against Clippers
Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo (back) appeared on Monday's injury report with a lower back contusion but is considered available for their game against the Los Angeles Clippers. The star center hasn't missed a game yet this season, so it seems to be more of a formality to list the nagging injury. Through 37 games this season, Adebayo averages 16.1 points, 9.8 rebounds, 4.6 assists, 1.5 steals, and 2.1 turnovers per game with shooting splits of .456/.287/.716. Despite the fact that his rebounding, scoring, and efficiency numbers are all down from last season, Adebayo is still a top fantasy big man whenever healthy.

Jay Huff Considered Probable Against Houston
Memphis Grizzlies center Jay Huff (knee) is dealing with some knee soreness but has been listed as probable for Monday's matchup with the Houston Rockets. After bouncing around the G League and the NBA for his first three seasons, Huff has caught on to a solid backup role in Memphis. The big man averages 8.8 points, 2.5 rebounds, 1.1 blocks, and 1.6 threes across 14.9 minutes per contest. He's an above-average option for fantasy managers looking for some added blocks and threes in deeper leagues.

Marcus Smart Remains Sidelined On Monday
Memphis Grizzlies guard Marcus Smart (finger) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Houston Rockets while he continues to deal with a right index finger injury. The 30-year-old hasn't played since December 21, and there hasn't been an official word on when he'll return to the floor. Scottie Pippen Jr. remains a great streaming option, especially in deeper leagues. The third-year guard is averaging 10.5 points, 4.8 assists, 3.4 rebounds, 1.2 steals, and 1.2 threes across 22.4 minutes per game while starting in 16 of his 39 appearances.

LeBron James Probable For Monday Night
Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (foot) is probable heading into Monday's matchup with the Spurs. The unfortunate situation in Los Angeles surrounding the wildfires has resulted in the team postponing their last two contests. However, despite not playing a game in nearly a week, the multi-time All-Star remains on the injury report because of a foot issue. That likely won't change anytime soon, although fantasy managers are used to it at this point. James continues to play well, averaging 23.8 points, 8.8 rebounds, and 7.7 assists while shooting 38.6% from behind the arc. Yet, he struggled offensively in two meetings with the Spurs during the 2024-25 campaign, logging only 15.5 points per contest, so he may not be the most practical DFS option, considering his rostering cost.

Tari Eason Considered Doubtful For Monday
Houston Rockets forward Tari Eason (lower leg) is listed as doubtful for Monday's game against Memphis. The 23-year-old hasn't played since Dec. 14 and is not expected to return to the lineup on Monday as Eason continues to manage a left lower leg injury. Cam Whitmore and Jae'Sean Tate have enjoyed expanded roles during Eason's absence. As a talented scorer, Whitmore has more fantasy appeal, but he tends to blow hot and cold.

Brice Sensabaugh Returns To Jazz Lineup Sunday
Utah Jazz forward Brice Sensabaugh (conditioning) will end a three-game absence on Sunday against Brooklyn. At the start of the week, he was knocked out of the lineup by an illness, but Sensabaugh has worked his way back into game shape ahead of Sunday's action. We should see plenty of him in the game as well, considering the Jazz will be short-handed for the contest, missing seven players, including four regular starters. Sensabaugh exploded for 61 points across two games before exiting the lineup, but the shooting he demonstrated in these contests -- including a 12-for-17 effort from three-point range -- is unsustainable.

Kyle Filipowski Active Versus Nets
Utah Jazz forward/center Kyle Filipowski (ankle) is good to go for Sunday's contest against Brooklyn. He was initially regarded as questionable for the game due to an ankle sprain. Utah won't have many big bodies in the lineup on Sunday, so the stage is set for Filipowski to enjoy a productive outing. However, his recent form hasn't been promising. Filipowski has averaged 4.8 points and 6.2 rebounds with below 40 percent shooting this month. In Saturday's matchup against Phoenix, he settled for only four points and two rebounds on 2-for-8 shooting in 22 minutes.

Lauri Markkanen Sits Out Sunday's Game
Utah Jazz forward Lauri Markkanen (back) will not play on Sunday against Brooklyn. He will miss the second leg of a back-to-back due to back spasms. Markkanen's absence means Collin Sexton will be the only regular starter available for the contest. Players such as Cody Williams and Svi Mykhailiuk will have expanded roles on Sunday, while veteran playmaker Patty Mills looks set to remain in the rotation. Following Sunday night, Utah will be off until Wednesday, which should help the team get back some bodies.

Jonathan Kuminga Out For Fifth Consecutive Game
Golden State Warriors forward Jonathan Kuminga (ankle) will miss a fifth straight game on Monday against Toronto. The 22-year-old is recovering from an ankle sprain and is wearing a walking boot. He's seven days into a projected three-week recovery period, so the Warriors will have to be without him for quite some time. Luckily for the team, Andrew Wiggins (personal) has returned to the fold. The Warriors bench, featuring Buddy Hield, Kyle Anderson, and Moses Moody, will also help compensate for Kuminga's loss.

Gary Payton II Listed As Out For Monday
Golden State Warriors guard/forward Gary Payton II (calf) has been listed as out for Monday's clash against Toronto. Following Sunday's practice, Warriors head coach Steve Kerr labeled Payton II as questionable, but it looks like he still needs some time to work himself into game shape. The defensive specialist has missed nine games due to a calf strain. Payton II's next chance to return will come on Wednesday against Minnesota.

Brandin Podziemski Remains Sidelined Monday
Golden State Warriors shooting guard Brandin Podziemski (abdomen) will miss an eighth consecutive game on Monday against Toronto. Podziemski is making progress and can run at full speed, but he stated on Sunday that he isn't yet nearing a return. Buddy Hield, Lindy Waters III, and Moses Moody have additional playing opportunities with Podziemski out. Pat Spencer, who impressed with a 17-point outing on Friday against Indiana, might also find himself more involved going forward.

Andrew Wiggins Ready To Return Monday
Golden State Warriors forward Andrew Wiggins (personal) has rejoined the team and will play on Monday against Toronto. Warriors head coach Steve Kerr confirmed the news after Wiggins practiced on Sunday. Wiggins struggled in his last outing, producing nine points on 4-for-10 shooting against Miami, so having some time off might have even benefited him. Matchups against his hometown team have always gone well for Wiggins, who has averaged 20.9 points for his career against the Raptors. He has notched more points only against Sacramento.

Draymond Green Expected To Play On Monday
Golden State Warriors forward/center Draymond Green (back) is expected to return to the lineup on Monday against Toronto. The veteran missed Friday's game against Indiana due to a back issue. He is officially listed as questionable on the injury report ahead of Monday's action. However, ESPN's Ohm Youngmisuk has reported that Warriors head coach Steve Kerr expects to have Green available after he practiced on Sunday. Kyle Anderson logged his third start of the season on Friday in Green's absence. He hasn't been valuable for fantasy managers as a bench piece.

Jalen Brunson Briefly Exits Sunday's Win Over Milwaukee
New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson (shoulder) finished with 44 points in Sunday's win over the Milwaukee Bucks. He added six assists, five rebounds, and one steal. The 28-year-old briefly exited the contest after suffering a right shoulder injury, although he was able to return to lead the Knicks to an impressive victory. Fortunately, it doesn't sound as the injury is anything serious, with head coach Tom Thibodeau reporting Brunson suffered a "stinger." With that in mind, he'll likely appear on the injury report heading into Monday's meeting with the Detroit Pistons. If Brunson doesn't suit up for that one, Cameron Payne, scoring 18 points on Sunday, and Miles McBride could see an increase in fantasy contributions.

Stephen Curry Not Listed On Injury Report For Monday
Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry (knee) has not been listed on the injury report for Monday's game against Toronto. He sat out the second leg of a back-to-back on Friday versus Indiana because of bilateral knee injury management. However, Curry practiced on Sunday and will be ready to return to action against the Raptors. The Warriors superstar struggled in his last outing, finishing Thursday's 107-104 victory against Detroit with 17 points on 2-for-14 shooting from deep, but Curry still averages 26.0 points for the month.

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope Ruled Out Sunday
Orlando Magic guard/forward Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (knee) will not play against Philadelphia on Sunday. A knee issue limited Caldwell-Pope to 11 minutes in Friday's matchup against Milwaukee. Still, he appeared to be on track to play on Sunday when the team listed him as probable on the initial injury report. However, the veteran has been ruled out for the contest ahead of tip-off. Caleb Houstan will fill in for Caldwell-Pope in the starting lineup. Houstan recently enjoyed a four-game stint as a starter but didn't offer much fantasy-wise. He averaged 7.3 points and 1.8 rebounds across 24.5 minutes in that role.

Caleb Martin Misses Sunday's Game
Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Caleb Martin (groin) will not suit up for Sunday's contest against Orlando. He was a late addition to the injury report and has been ruled out due to a sore right groin. Eric Gordon will move to the starting unit as Martin's replacement. The veteran sharpshooter has had a tough campaign but recently netted 15 points with four makes from downtown in another spot start. However, it might be tough for Gordon to replicate the performance on Sunday, as the Magic allow the fewest three-point attempts per game in the league.
