Keyonte George, Isaiah Collier Still Out Monday

Utah Jazz guards Keyonte George (hamstring) and Isaiah Collier (hamstring) will remain out on Monday against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Both players are nursing hamstring injuries and haven't been part of the lineup for a couple of weeks. George will miss his 10th consecutive game, and Collier won't be available for a seventh straight contest. Kennedy Chandler, Elijah Harkless, and Bez Mbeng will continue to see extra action on Monday. Out of the three players, Chandler has provided the most consistent fantasy production, averaging 14.6 points, 3.0 rebounds, 7.2 assists, and 1.2 steals over the past five games.

Max Strus to Sit Out Monday's Game

Cleveland Cavaliers guard/forward Max Strus (foot) won't play on Monday against the Utah Jazz. Strus torched the Miami Heat with eight triples and 29 points in Friday's win, but he continues to manage a foot injury and will take the night off on Monday. Cleveland will likely reinsert him into the lineup on Tuesday against the Los Angeles Lakers. Strus has been coming off the bench, so we should see the rest of the reserves take on most of his minutes on Monday.

Jarrett Allen Won't Play Monday Night

Cleveland Cavaliers center Jarrett Allen (knee) has been ruled out for Monday's matchup with the Utah Jazz. This isn't surprising, given that it's the first game of a back-to-back and Allen has just returned from a knee injury. He was limited to 18 minutes on Friday versus Miami but still collected a double-double, scoring 18 points and grabbing 10 rebounds. Keon Ellis could rejoin the starting unit on Monday, and Thomas Bryant may pick up a few extra minutes off the bench.

Jaylen Wells Expected to Miss Rest of Season After Toe Procedure

Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward Jaylen Wells (toe) is scheduled to undergo toe surgery and is expected to miss the rest of the season, Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints reports. He has been diagnosed with a tendon avulsion fracture in his right great toe and will undergo a procedure to stabilize the toe. Wells has already missed three games due to the injury. The 22-year-old sophomore becomes the seventh Grizzlies player to be ruled out for the rest of the season. Wells' absence opens the door for Rayan Rupert, Jahmai Mashack, and DeJon Jarreau to take on expanded roles in the rotation.

Bub Carrington Exits Early Sunday Due to Cramping

Washington Wizards guard Bub Carrington didn't finish Sunday's loss to the Portland Trail Blazers due to muscle cramping. He left the action in the third quarter, wrapping up his night with 11 points, two rebounds, four assists, one steal, and four turnovers in 22 minutes. Since this was the first game of a back-to-back for Washington, Carrington might sit out Monday's contest against the Los Angeles Lakers. Tre Johnson (foot) and Sharife Cooper could have more playing opportunities without Carrington.

Will Richard Won't Suit Up Sunday

Golden State Warriors guard/forward Will Richard (heel) has been ruled out for Sunday's contest against the Denver Nuggets. His run of 10 consecutive appearances will come to an end due to a sore left heel. Richard started in Golden State's most recent game but made a limited impact in 25 minutes. De'Anthony Melton (knee) is expected to return to the first unit on Sunday and will look to finish the month strongly. He has notched 14.4 points, 4.6 rebounds, 2.7 assists, and 1.8 steals per game in March.

Seth Curry Active Against Nuggets

Golden State Warriors guard Seth Curry (adductor) will be active on Sunday against the Denver Nuggets. He has recovered from a left adductor strain and could make his first appearance since March 13. Since joining the Warriors in December, Curry has taken the floor just four times. He has finished two of the games scoreless, while netting 27 points in the other two contests. Curry has impressed with 4-for-7 shooting from deep. His outside shooting could be handy for the Warriors in a matchup against a team that allows the eighth-most three-point attempts in the league.

Quinten Post • C • Warriors

Quinten Post Back in Action Sunday Night

Golden State Warriors center Quinten Post (foot) has been cleared to return to the lineup on Sunday against the Denver Nuggets. He has been managing a foot injury lately, missing three games. Post will add frontcourt depth to a Warriors team that currently can't count on Al Horford (calf). The 26-year-old has a tough matchup against Nikola Jokic on Sunday night. In his previous three clashes with the Nuggets this season, Post has posted averages of 4.7 points, 3.3 rebounds, and 1.7 assists in 15.0 minutes per game.

Aaron Gordon • PF • Nuggets

Aaron Gordon Won't Play Sunday

Denver Nuggets forward/center Aaron Gordon (calf) won't be in action on Sunday night against the Golden State Warriors, Bennett Durando of The Denver Post reports. He was a late addition to the injury report due to left calf tightness and won't be able to help his team after failing to shake off a questionable tag. The trio of Cameron Johnson, Peyton Watson, and Spencer Jones should absorb Gordon's minutes.

Tobias Harris • SF • Pistons

Tobias Harris Likely to Sit Out Monday's Game

Detroit Pistons forward Tobias Harris (hip) will likely sit out Monday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder, as the team has listed him as doubtful. The veteran is managing a hip injury and appears to be scheduled for a maintenance day. Jalen Duren (knee) and Duncan Robinson (hip) are also considered doubtful, while Ausar Thompson (ankle) carries a questionable tag on the injury report. Consequently, Ron Holland II, Javonte Green, Kevin Huerter, and Caris LeVert could all take on more prominent roles against the defending champions.

Ausar Thompson • SG • Pistons

Ausar Thompson Uncertain for Monday

Detroit Pistons guard/forward Ausar Thompson (ankle) has been tagged as questionable on the injury report ahead of Monday's meeting with the Oklahoma City Thunder. Detroit will begin a back-to-back set and has some decisions to make. Thompson is managing a right ankle injury, so he's likely to sit out at least one of the upcoming games. Kevin Huerter, Ron Holland II, and Javonte Green could all see more time on the court in Thompson's absence. Even if Thompson is in the lineup, the trio might still have expanded roles, as the Pistons are poised to head out with a new-look starting lineup. Jalen Duren (knee), Duncan Robinson (hip), and Tobias Harris (hip) are all unlikely to play.

Jalen Duren Unlikely to Play Monday

Detroit Pistons center Jalen Duren (knee) is considered doubtful for Monday's clash against the Oklahoma City Thunder. The first-year All-Star has played through a right knee injury recently and appears to be trending toward a rest day. Detroit's frontcourt is still without Isaiah Stewart (calf), so it could be a big night for Paul Reed. The former G League MVP is poised to make his ninth start of the season. In a starting role, Paul has provided 13.9 points, 7.8 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 1.8 blocks, and 1.2 steals per game. There could also be a significant role for Tolu Smith.

Trey Murphy III • SF • Pelicans

Trey Murphy III Out on Sunday

New Orleans Pelicans guard/forward Trey Murphy III (ankle) won't return to action on Sunday against the Houston Rockets. He has been ruled out for a third consecutive game after carrying a questionable tag on the initial injury report. With Murphy III out, Yves Missi was brought back into the starting lineup on Friday against Toronto. Unfortunately, he didn't make a significant impact, and it's possible the Pelicans will switch things up again on Sunday. Zion Williamson, Saddiq Bey, and the returning Dejounte Murray should get plenty of offensive touches without Murphy II.

Dejounte Murray • SG • Pelicans

Dejounte Murray Available Against Rockets

New Orleans Pelicans guard Dejounte Murray (hand) will play on Sunday night against the Houston Rockets. After hurting his left hand, Murray was initially listed as questionable on the injury report. Since recovering from a torn Achilles, Murray has posted strong numbers. He has averaged 17.2 points, 5.3 rebounds, 6.5 assists, and 1.7 steals across 12 appearances. Murray's return will probably send Jeremiah Fears back to the second unit, but he should still play a significant role.

Miles McBride • PG • Knicks

Miles McBride to See Limited Minutes Sunday

New York Knicks guard Miles McBride (pelvic) will return to action on Sunday night against the Oklahoma City Thunder, Stefan Bondy of the New York Post reports. He hasn't played since late January and underwent sports hernia surgery in February. According to Knicks head coach Mike Brown, McBride will have a minutes limit in Sunday's game. McBride's return will complicate the situation for Jose Alvarado and Jordan Clarkson. Although the mid-season injury was a setback for him, McBride has had a career year in New York, averaging 12.9 points, 2.6 rebounds, and 2.8 assists in 28.0 minutes per game.

Jaden McDaniels • PF • Timberwolves

Jaden McDaniels Won't Play Monday

Minnesota Timberwolves forward Jaden McDaniels (knee) will miss a second straight game on Monday against the Dallas Mavericks. The 25-year-old had sat out only two games this season before a left knee issue took him out of the lineup this week. As a result, Terrence Shannon Jr. started on Saturday against Detroit, but his contributions were limited to eight points, three rebounds, and three assists. Jaylen Clark, who tallied nine points and four rebounds against the Pistons, also has a chance to play more until McDaniels returns.

Anthony Edwards • SG • Timberwolves

Anthony Edwards Listed as Questionable for Monday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Anthony Edwards (knee) is listed as questionable for Monday's tilt against the Dallas Mavericks. He has missed six games with a knee injury but is on the cusp of returning. With Ayo Dosunmu (calf) also on the shelf, Mike Conley has started back-to-back games. On Monday, the veteran could fall out of the rotation if both Edwards and Dosunmu return. Boney Hyland's role will also change once the Timberwolves are back at full strength.

Collin Murray-Boyles Misses Sunday's Action

Toronto Raptors forward/center Collin Murray-Boyles (back) will miss Sunday's game against the Orlando Magic. The 20-year-old rookie injured his back during Friday's win over New Orleans. He was initially expected to play on Sunday, but it looks like Murray-Boyles didn't feel comfortable enough during the warmups. With him unavailable, Sandro Mamukelashvili should see plenty of minutes on Sunday as the backup to starting center Jakob Poeltl. Mamukelashvili has scored double-digit points in three consecutive games and had 18 points with nine rebounds, two assists, one steal, and one block on Friday.

Brandon Ingram • SF • Raptors

Brandon Ingram a Late Scratch on Sunday

Toronto Raptors guard/forward Brandon Ingram (heel) will not suit up on Sunday against the Orlando Magic, Sportsnet's Michael Grange reports. He was initially expected to play but won't be available for action due to right heel inflammation. Jamal Shead will start in Ingram's place. As a member of the first unit, Shead has recorded 11.7 points, 7.9 assists, and 1.1 steals per game this season. With Immanuel Quickley (foot) also out, Shead should have an active role on offense against a team that has struggled to contain point guards.

RJ Barrett • SG • Raptors

RJ Barrett Good to Go Sunday

Toronto Raptors guard/forward RJ Barrett (shoulder) will play in Sunday's contest against the Orlando Magic. He injured his left shoulder during Friday's win over New Orleans and was initially listed as questionable on the injury report. He was then upgraded to probable, and Toronto has now listed Barrett as available. Barrett has been sharp over his last 10 outings, averaging 20.1 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 3.0 assists, hitting nearly 52 percent of his field-goal attempts.
