Tyler Herro Iffy for Tuesday

Milwaukee Bucks guard Tyler Herro (knee) is questionable for Tuesday's matchup with the New York Knicks due to a right knee contusion. Herro briefly left Sunday's 117-97 loss to Boston before returning and finishing with 13 points on 5-for-12 shooting. The 26-year-old has played all 10 games this season and leads Milwaukee with 21.4 points per game while adding 4.6 rebounds and 4.3 assists. His absence would leave a struggling Bucks offense without its top scorer, with Brayden Burries and Ryan Rollins likely to take on larger roles if Herro is ruled out.

Brandon Williams Exits with Hamstring Injury

Golden State Warriors guard Brandon Williams (hamstring) left Monday's 138-87 win over the New Orleans Pelicans in the first quarter and did not return. Williams scored four points on 2-for-3 shooting before exiting with a left hamstring injury, which Steve Kerr called a "big concern." The 26-year-old is set for an MRI after averaging 11.1 points, 2.6 assists, and 1.0 steals in 17.7 minutes through nine games. Williams also missed time earlier this month with a left quad contusion. Any extended absence would open more backcourt minutes for LJ Cryer, while De'Anthony Melton could also see his role grow.

Keegan Murray Questionable Against Orlando

Sacramento Kings forward Keegan Murray (wrist) is questionable for Tuesday's matchup with the Orlando Magic due to right wrist soreness. It's a new issue for Murray, who returned Sunday from a seven-game absence caused by left ankle capsulitis. The 26-year-old came off the bench against Miami and finished with 10 points, two assists, two steals, and one block in 23 minutes. Murray is still searching for his shot, going 0-for-10 from three through three appearances this season. If he can't play Tuesday, Precious Achiuwa could remain in the starting lineup and continue to handle an expanded frontcourt role.

Domantas Sabonis Iffy for Tuesday

Sacramento Kings forward/center Domantas Sabonis (knee) is questionable for Tuesday's matchup with the Orlando Magic due to left knee soreness, according to James Ham. Sabonis missed Sunday's loss to Miami, his first absence of the season, and the issue bears watching after he underwent surgery on the same knee last February to repair a meniscus tear. The 30-year-old is averaging 15.3 points, 14.6 rebounds, and 6.0 assists through nine games. Precious Achiuwa grabbed 14 rebounds in 36 minutes Sunday, while Dylan Cardwell started at center, and both could see another bump if Sabonis remains sidelined.

Keyonte George Set to Miss Tuesday's Game

Utah Jazz guard Keyonte George (ankle) has been ruled out for Tuesday's matchup with the Miami Heat due to a right ankle sprain. George suffered the injury Sunday against Minnesota after putting up 19 points, eight assists, and five rebounds through three quarters. The 23-year-old is averaging 21.1 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 6.4 assists through 10 games for a Jazz team riding an eight-game losing streak. Isaiah Collier should get more time on the ball in George's absence, while Darryn Peterson could also take on a larger offensive role if Lauri Markkanen (wrist) is unavailable. Utah plays again Wednesday against Orlando, giving George his next opportunity to return.

Gary Payton II • PG • Warriors

Gary Payton II Downgraded to Out Monday

Golden State Warriors guard/forward Gary Payton II (knee) won't play Monday against the New Orleans Pelicans. He was listed as questionable before being downgraded to out with left knee inflammation. The 33-year-old dealt with right calf tightness last week but still logged 13 minutes in Saturday's overtime win over Orlando, posting four points and two steals. Payton is averaging 5.0 points and 1.6 rebounds in 13.4 minutes across 10 games, so his absence won't shake up many fantasy lineups. With Will Richard (thumb) also sidelined, De'Anthony Melton should see extra work and offers steals upside.

Gui Santos Available for Monday Versus New Orleans

Golden State Warriors forward Gui Santos (knee) is available for Monday's matchup with the New Orleans Pelicans after dealing with left knee tendinitis. Santos returned from a two-game absence Saturday against Orlando, starting but finishing with just three points, one rebound, and one steal in 12 minutes. The 24-year-old is averaging 6.6 points, 3.6 rebounds, and 1.1 assists in 18.9 minutes across seven appearances. With Will Richard (thumb) sidelined, Santos could remain in the starting five, though Saturday's limited workload makes his fantasy upside difficult to trust for now.

Jalen Suggs Progressing but No Return Timeline Set

Orlando Magic guard Jalen Suggs (knee) is progressing in his recovery from a right knee bone bruise and has resumed on-court work, according to Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel. There is still no timetable for his return, and Suggs will miss Tuesday's matchup with Sacramento for his seventh straight absence. Anthony Black has taken advantage of the increased opportunity, posting 18 points, eight rebounds, six assists, four steals, and three blocks Saturday against Golden State. With Paolo Banchero (ankle) also sidelined Tuesday, Black should continue to handle a sizable workload.

Jordan Goodwin Sidelined Again Monday

Phoenix Suns guard Jordan Goodwin (calf) has been ruled out for Monday's matchup with the San Antonio Spurs, according to Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic. Suns coach Jordan Ott said the team is hopeful Goodwin can return Tuesday against the Clippers after he missed the previous three games with right calf soreness. The 28-year-old is averaging 7.8 points, 3.4 rebounds, and 2.6 assists through five appearances. His potential return on the second night of a back-to-back makes Tuesday's status worth watching, while Collin Gillespie should continue to see extra backcourt minutes until Goodwin is cleared.

Cameron Johnson Good to Go Versus Houston

Denver Nuggets forward Cameron Johnson (ankle) is available for Monday's matchup with the Houston Rockets despite being listed with a right ankle sprain. Johnson missed three games with the injury earlier this season but has appeared in Denver's last four contests. He turned in his best scoring effort of that stretch Saturday, finishing with 18 points on 8-for-12 shooting against Indiana. Johnson's return has pushed Trevon Brazile back into a reserve role, while the 30-year-old should continue to get quality looks alongside Nikola Jokic in Denver's starting unit.

DeMar DeRozan • SF • Nuggets

DeMar DeRozan Set to Suit Up Monday

Denver Nuggets forward DeMar DeRozan (back) is available for Monday's matchup with the Houston Rockets after being listed with low back spasms. The issue kept him out against Toronto last Wednesday, but he returned Saturday and finished with 11 points and five assists in 22 minutes off the bench against Indiana. DeRozan has had a quiet start in his sixth-man role, averaging 10.7 points, 1.9 rebounds, and 3.0 assists while shooting 42.0% through seven games. With Julian Strawther (knee) still sidelined, DeRozan should continue to handle a steady role with Denver's second unit.

Christian Braun Cleared to Play Monday

Denver Nuggets guard/forward Christian Braun (calf) is available for Monday's matchup with the Houston Rockets after being listed with a left calf contusion and an illness. Braun has started all eight games this season and is averaging 13.5 points, 3.9 rebounds, 2.1 assists, and 2.0 steals while shooting 51.9% from the field. The 25-year-old has cooled off from his hot start beyond the arc, but the defensive production has remained useful for fantasy managers. With both issues cleared for Monday, Braun should handle his usual workload in Denver's starting five.

Aaron Gordon • PF • Nuggets

Aaron Gordon Good to Go Against Rockets

Denver Nuggets forward/center Aaron Gordon (calf) is available for Monday's matchup with the Houston Rockets despite being listed for left calf injury management. Gordon has started all eight games this season, averaging 12.3 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 2.1 assists while shooting 41.3% from the field. The 31-year-old was limited to 36 regular-season appearances last year, so Denver may continue to keep an eye on his workload. For Monday, though, Gordon is cleared to handle his usual starting role. Trevon Brazile remains the most likely frontcourt beneficiary whenever Gordon gets a night off.

Jamal Murray Upgraded to Available for Monday

Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray (shin) is available for Monday's matchup with the Houston Rockets despite a left shin/tibia contusion. Murray was part of a crowded injury report after Denver's travel problems out of Mexico City disrupted its preparation for the game. The 29-year-old has led the Nuggets in scoring through eight appearances, averaging 24.3 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 6.1 assists. He's also logging 36.6 minutes per game, the second-highest mark in the league. Murray is cleared for his usual role Monday, though the heavy workload makes the shin worth monitoring.

Nikola Jokić • C • Nuggets

Nikola Jokic Cleared to Face Houston on Monday

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (elbow) is available for Monday's matchup with the Houston Rockets despite a right elbow sprain. Jokic landed on the injury report after logging 36 minutes in Saturday's 114-102 win over Indiana, where he finished with 19 points, 13 rebounds, and eight assists. The three-time MVP is averaging 22.9 points, 10.1 rebounds, and 9.1 assists through eight games while recording three triple-doubles. Houston is without two of its frontcourt reserves, so Jokic has a clear path to another big night on the glass.

Morez Johnson Jr. Ruled Out Against Pacers

Dallas Mavericks forward/center Morez Johnson Jr. (shin) has been ruled out for Monday's matchup with the Indiana Pacers due to a left shin/tibia contusion. The rookie had appeared in each of Dallas' first 10 games and was finding his footing lately, collecting 26 rebounds over his last two outings, including a career-high 17 against Utah. Johnson is averaging 7.6 points and 5.1 boards in 17.0 minutes per game. With Dereck Lively II (foot) also sidelined, Santi Aldama could pick up additional frontcourt minutes alongside Daniel Gafford. Johnson's next chance to return comes Thursday in Minnesota.

Immanuel Quickley • PG • Raptors

Immanuel Quickley Questionable Vs. Memphis On Monday

Toronto Raptors guard Immanuel Quickley (right hamstring tightness) is questionable to play on Monday against the Memphis Grizzlies. Quickley missed Toronto's Friday win over the Milwaukee Bucks. He is averaging 17.4 points, 3.5 rebounds, and 5.8 assists per game this season on 40.9 percent shooting from the field. Jamal Shead and Alijah Martin could see more minutes if Quickley is to miss another game on Monday night. Quickley is a nice contributor of points and assists and also contributes 1.1 steals per game on the defensive end. Fantasy managers will want to see Quickley return to the lineup in what is a good matchup against Memphis.

Scottie Barnes Questionable To Play Against Memphis On Monday

Toronto Raptors forward Scottie Barnes (left groin strain) is questionable to play against Memphis on Monday night. Barnes missed the Raptors' Friday night game against the Milwaukee Bucks and is in danger of missing his second straight contest. He is a game-time call to suit up for Monday night's contest. Barnes is averaging 23.5 points, 7.6 rebounds, and 5.1 assists per game on 47.5 percent shooting from the field this season. Alijah Martin and RJ Barrett could see an increase in minutes if Barnes is forced to miss another game on Monday night. Barnes is an elite fantasy scoring option and contributes nicely across the board. Fantasy managers will want to see him back in the lineup on Monday. With Kawhi Leonard (left knee) still out, Barnes could have a big game against Memphis if he is able to suit up.

Collin Murray-Boyles Questionable Vs. Grizzlies On Monday

Toronto Raptors forward/center Collin Murray-Boyles (illness) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. The 2025 first-round pick will be a game-time decision for Monday's game. Murray-Boyles is averaging 10.7 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 1.3 assists per game this season on 50.7 percent shooting from the field. Murray-Boyles has played in nine games this season and is averaging 22.1 minutes per game. He played 34 minutes in Toronto's game last Friday against the Milwaukee Bucks and scored 19 points with seven rebounds, two assists, four steals, and a blocked shot. Murray-Boyles is a valuable fantasy big man who contributes in points, rebounds, field-goal percentage as well as giving fantasy managers some nice defensive stats. Murray-Boyles could have a nice game against Memphis if he is feeling well enough to play.

Luka Dončić • PG • Lakers

Luka Doncic Set to Suit Up on Monday

According to Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com, Los Angeles Lakers guard Luka Doncic (back) is off the injury report for Monday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. Doncic is set to suit up after missing Sunday's 121-116 victory over Detroit due to lower-back tightness. Despite the 27-year-old's return, the Lakers' backcourt could be thin with Quentin Grimes (finger) out and Austin Reaves (illness) potentially sidelined. Doncic's return should provide a boost for fantasy managers, particularly with the Lakers short-handed in the backcourt.
