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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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.

Robert Williams III Ready to Play Sunday

Portland Trail Blazers center Robert Williams III (back) will be in the lineup on Sunday against the Washington Wizards. The team has upgraded Williams III's status from questionable to available. This is a juicy matchup for Williams III and starting center Donovan Clingan, as Washington has had trouble containing big men all year. In March, Williams III has averaged 8.2 points, 8.6 rebounds, and 1.6 blocks in 19.0 minutes per game.

Malik Monk • SG • Kings

Malik Monk Won't Play Against Nets

Sacramento Kings guard Malik Monk (shoulder) will sit out Sunday's matchup with the Brooklyn Nets. He will exit the lineup due to a shoulder contusion after having 10 points and seven assists in 27 minutes on Saturday against Atlanta. Sacramento will also roll without DeMar DeRozan (hamstring), creating two openings in the starting lineup. Nique Clifford and Daeqwon Plowden are the leading candidates to join the first unit. Monk's absence should also give Devin Carter and DaQuan Jeffries more playing time.

DeMar DeRozan • SF • Kings

DeMar DeRozan Sits Out Sunday's Game

Sacramento Kings guard/forward DeMar DeRozan will miss the second leg of a back-to-back on Sunday against the Brooklyn Nets. The veteran star has been listed as out with a sore right hamstring. Nique Clifford and Daeqwon Plowden will benefit from DeRozan's absence, and the team may bring Doug McDermott back into the rotation as well. Malik Monk (shoulder) has also been ruled out, so there will be at least two changes to the starting lineup compared to Saturday's loss to Atlanta.

Brandon Ingram • SF • Raptors

Brandon Ingram Available Against Magic

Toronto Raptors guard/forward Brandon Ingram (heel) will play on Sunday against the Orlando Magic, Sportsnet's Michael Grange reports. He has recently been dealing with inflammation in his right heel, but Ingram is ready to make his third consecutive appearance. Following back-to-back 30-point efforts in mid-March, Ingram has been quiet in his most recent outings. The two-time All-Star has tallied 14.8 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 2.6 assists per game over his last five appearances.

Neemias Queta Cleared to Play Sunday

Boston Celtics center Neemias Queta (thumb) will play on Sunday against the Charlotte Hornets. The Portuguese big man has received official clearance to play after being listed as questionable on the initial injury report. The team upgraded Queta's status to probable earlier in the day. Since the Hornets limited him to two points and two rebounds on March 4, Queta has averaged 9.1 points, 8.8 rebounds, and 2.1 assists per game.

Derrick White Won't Play Sunday

Boston Celtics guard Derrick White (knee) won't play on Sunday against the Charlotte Hornets. The team has ruled him out after initially listing him as questionable for the game. Boston will also be without Jaylen Brown (Achilles) on Sunday, so Jayson Tatum and Payton Pritchard should receive heavy usage on the offensive end. Meanwhile, players like Baylor Scheierman and Hugo Gonzalez are set to log more minutes.

Isaiah Jackson is Ruled Out for Sunday

Los Angeles Clippers center Isaiah Jackson (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. Jackson was forced to make an early exit from Friday's game due to a right ankle injury. It appears to be significant enough to hold him out of Sunday's contest. The absence of Jackson means that John Collins or possibly Nicolas Batum will get extra minutes whenever Brook Lopez is off the court. Collins should see more playing time on Sunday, which will make him a more appealing streaming option for this game.

Bobby Portis • PF • Bucks

Bobby Portis to Miss Third Straight Game

Milwaukee Bucks center Bobby Portis (wrist) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. Portis will miss his third game in a row due to a lingering wrist injury. He'll miss both legs of the back-to-back set with his next chance to play coming on Tuesday versus the Dallas Mavericks. His absence should mean Jericho Sims, Pete Nance, and Ousmane Dieng should all be asked to play bigger roles during Sunday's game. Sims is coming off a double-double performance on Saturday and is deserving of a look as a streaming option for Sunday's slate.

Ryan Rollins • SG • Bucks

Ryan Rollins is Absent on Sunday

Milwaukee Bucks guard Ryan Rollins (hip) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. Rollins struggled on Saturday and will now sit out the second leg of this back-to-back set due to left hip soreness. The absence of Rollins should mean increased roles for Andre Jackson Jr. and AJ Green. Between the two, Green is the better streaming option for Sunday's slate due to his ability to shoot from beyond the arc. Fantasy managers should consider Rollins as day-to-day for now.
