Will Richard Ruled Out Against Jazz

Golden State Warriors guard/forward Will Richard (ankle) will miss his fourth consecutive contest on Monday against the Utah Jazz due to a right ankle sprain. His next chance to return is on Tuesday night against the Bulls. Seth Curry (back) is set to return, so he could take on some extra playing time while Ricard is out, but he isn't expected to make an impact fantasy-wise during tonight's tilt.

Seth Curry Set to Suit Up Monday

Golden State Warriors guard Seth Curry (back) is set to suit up against the Utah Jazz on Monday evening. The 35-year-old veteran has been dealing with sciatic nerve irritation and has appeared in only two games this season. Curry's minutes will likely be limited in his return, and it remains unclear if he will have a consistent role in the Warriors' rotation moving forward.

Mitchell Robinson Out of Action Against Clippers

New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson (ankle) won't play against the Los Angeles Clippers on Monday. The 27-year-old big man will sit out the second leg of a back-to-back due to left ankle injury management. Robinson finished with four points, four rebounds and one steal across 17 minutes during Monday's 110-97 loss to the Lakers. With Robinson sidelined, Ariel Hukporti will move up the depth chart as the backup behind starting center Karl-Anthony Towns.

Alex Caruso Unavailable on Monday

Oklahoma City Thunder guard/forward Alex Caruso (hip) is unavailable to suit up on Monday night against the Denver Nuggets. The veteran will miss his second straight game due to a bruised left hip. OKC will have Ajay Mitchell (ankle, abdomen) back after missing 20 games, so he will help cover while Caruso is out. Isaiah Joe, Aaron Wiggins, and Cason Wallace will also be in line to receive extra minutes during tonight's contest.

Egor Demin Sidelined For Remainder of This Season

NBA reporter Marc Stein reports that Brooklyn Nets guard Egor Demin (foot) will miss the rest of the season due to plantar fasciitis in his left foot, a condition he's been dealing with most of this campaign. The Nets are being cautious with the 20-year-old rookie guard in hopes that he is fully recovered and ready to go for next season. Through 52 appearances this year, he posted averages of 10.3 points, 3.3 assists, 3.2 rebounds and 2.4 three-pointers across 25.2 minutes per game. With Demin unavailable, Nolan Traore, Terance Mann, and Ziaire Williams could take on heavier workloads for the forseeable future.

Taylor Hendricks Doubtful Monday Against Nets

Memphis Grizzlies forward/center Taylor Hendricks (thumb) is listed as doubtful for Monday's matchup against the Nets due to soreness in his right thumb. The former lottery pick logged 18 points, four rebounds, two assists, two steals, two blocks, and three three-pointers across 26 minutes in Saturday's loss to the Clippers before the issue surfaced. Memphis is already thin due to injuries, so Olivier-Maxence Prosper and G.G. Jackson II could absorb additional frontcourt minutes. Prosper produced 11 points and three three-pointers in 23 minutes last game, while Jackson added 14 points and seven rebounds in 22 minutes.

Branden Carlson Still Out Monday Against Nuggets

Oklahoma City Thunder center Branden Carlson (back) will miss Monday's matchup against the Nuggets, marking another game on the sidelines as he continues recovering from a lingering back issue. His absence leaves Oklahoma City thin at center, especially with Isaiah Hartenstein (calf) already out and Chet Holmgren (illness) listed as questionable. Jaylin Williams could handle a larger workload after starting in the previous game and posting nine points, three three-pointers, 14 rebounds, and four assists in 33 minutes. Kenrich Williams may also see extra run after contributing 13 points and seven rebounds in 19 minutes.

Scotty Pippen Jr. Unlikely to Play Monday Against Nets

Memphis Grizzlies guard Scotty Pippen Jr. (toe) is listed as doubtful for Monday's matchup with the Nets due to soreness in his right big toe. Pippen has been a regular part of the rotation lately, though the toe problem could keep him sidelined for the opening game of the back-to-back. If Pippen is ruled out, the Grizzlies could lean more heavily on Javon Small, who posted 11 points, seven rebounds, five assists, two steals, and one block in 33 minutes during a March 4 start. Walter Clayton Jr. and Cam Spencer should also see added ball-handling opportunities in deeper formats.

Peyton Watson Remains Sidelined Against Thunder

Denver Nuggets forward Peyton Watson (hamstring) will remain sidelined for Monday's matchup against the Thunder as he continues recovering from a right hamstring strain that has kept him out since early February. Watson had been logging around 31 minutes per game before the injury, leaving Denver to piece together wing minutes in his absence. Cameron Johnson returned from a two-game absence and started, finishing with 10 points, one three-pointer, three rebounds, five assists, and one steal in 22 minutes. Johnson has been inconsistent for much of the season, but he should continue seeing opportunities while Peyton Watson remains sidelined and Aaron Gordon is still ramping up after his return.

Mo Bamba Signs Second 10-Day Deal with Jazz

Utah Jazz center Mo Bamba signed a second 10-day deal with the team Sunday after showing enough during his initial stint to remain with the club. The former lottery pick appeared in two games earlier this week, producing four points, eight rebounds, and two blocks in 21 minutes against Philadelphia before adding six points and 12 rebounds in 17 minutes versus Washington. Bamba provides depth behind second-year center Kyle Filipowski and veteran Kevin Love, though his role remains inconsistent after a DNP on March 7. For fantasy managers, Bamba is difficult to trust outside of deep leagues unless Utah expands his minutes.

T.J. McConnell Exits Early with Right Hamstring Injury

Indiana Pacers guard T.J. McConnell (hamstring) did not return to Sunday's game against the Trail Blazers after exiting in the fourth quarter due to right hamstring soreness. The veteran guard logged 17 minutes before departing, finishing with six points, four rebounds, and three assists. McConnell has dealt with recurring hamstring discomfort this season, which raises some short-term availability concerns. If he misses additional time, Quenton Jackson could see a larger role after posting two points, three rebounds, and three assists in 17 minutes Sunday. Kam Jones may also re-enter the rotation, though he logged just five minutes with one assist in the loss.

Collin Sexton Leaves with Leg Injury After 28-Point Burst

Chicago Bulls guard Collin Sexton (leg) did not return to Sunday's loss to the Kings after suffering a left lower leg contusion late in the third quarter. The 27-year-old sixth man had erupted before exiting, piling up 28 points on 9-of-12 shooting with seven three-pointers, three assists, and two rebounds in 22 minutes. If Sexton misses time, Chicago's backcourt usage should lean even more toward Josh Giddey, while Tre Jones could continue seeing steady run after producing 12 points, five assists, one rebound, and one steal in 32 minutes Sunday. Second-year guard Rob Dillingham may also pick up deeper-league minutes.

Isaiah Collier Returning to Jazz Lineup Monday

Utah Jazz guard Isaiah Collier (personal) has been taken off the injury report ahead of Monday's contest against the Golden State Warriors, indicating he will be available to play. Collier wasn't in action on Saturday against Milwaukee, missing the game for personal reasons. The 21-year-old has enjoyed a strong second half of the season and is averaging 18.3 points, 6.3 assists, and 1.7 steals since the All-Star break. Even with Keyonte George healthy, Collier should still get plenty of minutes and offensive touches in Monday's game.

De'Anthony Melton • SG • Warriors

De'Anthony Melton Available Against Jazz

Golden State Warriors guard De'Anthony Melton (knee) isn't on the injury report for Monday's matchup with the Utah Jazz. After an impressive 30-minute performance on Thursday night against the Houston Rockets, the Warriors decided to rest Melton for Saturday's clash against the Oklahoma City Thunder. With Stephen Curry (knee) on the shelf, Melton has played a key role in Golden State's backcourt. He has averaged 17.7 points, 3.7 rebounds, 2.3 assists, and 1.7 steals since the All-Star break. Melton's return to the lineup will likely bump Pat Spencer back to the bench, where he won't have much fantasy value.

Moses Moody • SG • Warriors

Moses Moody to Remain Out Monday Night

Golden State Warriors guard/forward Moses Moody (wrist) will be sidelined for a third consecutive game on Monday against the Utah Jazz. He is working his way back from a sprained right wrist and will get his next opportunity to return on Tuesday against the Chicago Bulls. Due to Moody's absence, Gui Santos has earned a new opportunity in the first unit and is coming off an impressive 22-point, 11-rebound double-double in Saturday's loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder. Gary Payton II, who tallied seven points and 12 boards on Saturday, has also taken on an increased workload without Moody.

Al Horford • C • Warriors

Al Horford Won't Play Against Jazz

Golden State Warriors forward/center Al Horford (toe) will exit the lineup for Monday's tilt against the Utah Jazz. The team begins a back-to-back set with this matchup and is cautious with Horford, who is managing a toe injury. Kristaps Porzingis (illness) has also been ruled out, meaning we could see plenty of Quinten Post in Monday's game. Alternatively, the Warriors might run smaller lineups more often, given Utah's lack of size. Horford is likely to return to action on Tuesday night against the Chicago Bulls.

Kristaps Porzingis to Skip Monday's Game

Golden State Warriors forward/center Kristaps Porzingis (illness) will miss the first leg of a back-to-back on Monday against the Utah Jazz. He is expected to return to the lineup for Tuesday's matchup with the Chicago Bulls. Porzingis returned from a six-game absence in Saturday's loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder, contributing nine points, five rebounds, five assists, and one block in 23 minutes. With Porzingis and Al Horford (toe) sidelined on Monday, Quinten Post is set to return to the rotation and could make a significant impact in a favorable matchup.

Alex Caruso Iffy for Monday

Oklahoma City Thunder guard/forward Alex Caruso (hip) is questionable to suit up on Monday night against the Denver Nuggets. The veteran injured his left hip earlier this week and has already sat out one game. Oklahoma City mostly misses Caruso's defensive ability. The team will have Ajay Mitchell (ankle, abdomen) back from a 20-game absence on Monday, and he will help cover for Caruso if needed. Isaiah Joe, Aaron Wiggins, and Cason Wallace would also be in a position to see more minutes.

Collin Murray-Boyles to Sit Out At Least Two More Games

Toronto Raptors forward/center Collin Murray-Boyles (thumb) will be sidelined for at least two more games, Sportsnet's Michael Grange reports. The rookie big man is nursing a left thumb sprain and missed a third consecutive contest on Sunday against Dallas. He has now also been ruled out for Toronto's upcoming back-to-back set on the road against Houston and New Orleans. Fortunately for the team, Jakob Poeltl appears to have returned to top form after a long battle with a back injury. The Austrian giant finished Sunday's win over Dallas with a 16-point, 10-rebound double-double, adding four assists, one steal, and two blocks. Sandro Mamukelashvili also had a fine outing as the backup center, notching 13 points, seven rebounds, three assists, one steal, and one block.

Grayson Allen Misses Meeting With Hornets

Phoenix Suns guard/forward Grayson Allen (knee) won't play on Sunday night against the Charlotte Hornets. He was listed as probable on the initial injury report, but the team has downgraded Allen to out ahead of tip-off. In Allen's absence, guys like Ryan Dunn and Amir Coffey could see more minutes off the bench. That said, the two don't look particularly attractive from a fantasy standpoint, and Phoenix must lean a lot on the starting group in Sunday's game.
