Mon Mar 1821:58Anthony Davis Cleared To Meet AtlantaAnthony DavisPFPelicansFree Agent
Los Angeles Lakers forward/center Anthony Davis (eye) will play against the Hawks on Monday evening. Davis logged only 12 minutes in Saturday's loss to the Warriors because of an eye injury. He had trouble with his vision, so the team labeled him questionable heading into this contest. However, his vision improved, which is good news for the Lakers, a team holding the final Play-In spot in the Western Conference. Davis has had an MVP-caliber season, meaning he should be in all fantasy lineups. But his presence means less work for Jaxson Hayes, who finished Saturday's game with seven points and 12 rebounds in 28 minutes.

Mon Mar 1819:54Rudy Gobert Ruled Out For MondayRudy GobertCJazzFree Agent
Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert (rib) has been ruled out ahead of Monday's game against the Utah Jazz. The big man will be forced to miss his second straight game due to left rib strain. Naz Reid figures to move into the starting five once again. Reid has been providing first round value over the last two weeks. The Wolves are without Karl Anthony-Towns (knee) and Gobert which gives Reid plenty of run. Reid is a must-have player in all fantasy formats right now.

Mon Mar 1819:37Jerami Grant Remains Sidelined On MondayJerami GrantSF76ersFree Agent
Portland Trail Blazers forward Jerami Grant (hamstring) will miss a fourth consecutive game on Monday against Chicago. He was already considered doubtful for the clash on the initial injury report, and the team has now officially ruled him out. Grant is a high-usage player, and his absence gives the rest of the starting unit more offensive responsibilities. Additionally, Kris Murray and Toumani Camara have found themselves playing big roles during Grant's injury layoff, but both players are quite volatile fantasy assets due to their inconsistent play.

Mon Mar 1818:42Kevin Love Misses 10th Consecutive GameKevin LovePFCavaliersFree Agent
Miami Heat forward/center Kevin Love (heel) will see his absence stretch to 10 games on Monday against Philadelphia. The veteran is battling a right heel bruise. Thomas Bryant has crept into the rotation lately, but Love's injury means a lot of Bam Adebayo on the Heat frontcourt. Nikola Jovic and Haywood Highsmith have also played larger roles during his absence. With Jovic also out, Highsmith gets a chance to play a very significant role in the rotation, but he flunked as a starter on Sunday versus Detroit, and things won't be any easier for him on Monday in a tougher matchup.

Mon Mar 1818:32Jimmy Butler Ruled Out MondayJimmy ButlerSGBullsFree Agent
Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (foot) has been downgraded from questionable to out for Monday's matchup against Philadelphia. The Heat star sits out a second consecutive contest with a foot contusion. Butler's absence boosts the fantasy value of Jaime Jaquez Jr., who moved to the starting unit on Sunday versus Detroit. Meanwhile, it also secures extra offensive usage for Bam Adebayo, Terry Rozier, and Duncan Robinson, who's just posted a big 30-point game.

Mon Mar 1816:07Kristaps Porzingis Probable, Al Horford Out MondayAl HorfordCHawksFree Agent
Kristaps PorzingisFree Agent
Boston Celtics center Kristaps Porzingis (hamstring) is probable for Monday's game versus the Detroit Pistons, but Al Horford (toe) will be unavailable. Porzingis is expected to return from a five-game absence due to a strained right hamstring, while Horford will hit the seats with a sprained left big toe after pitching in 14 points during 23 minutes in Sunday's beatdown of the Washington Wizards. Horford doesn't play both parts of back-to-backs, so he should be good to go for Wednesday's duel with the Milwaukee Bucks. With the veteran sidelined, Porzingis could be thrust into big minutes at the five for the Celts in a favorable situation against a Detroit group that's allowing the third-most FanDuel points to opposing centers. The Latvian All-Star was on an heater before going down, averaging 23.3 points, 8.6 boards, 2.8 triples on 46.7% shooting from deep, and 1.4 swats in 31.9 minutes over his past five games.

Mon Mar 1815:51Tobias Harris Misses Monday’s ShootaroundTobias HarrisSFMagicFree Agent
Philadelphia 76ers forward Tobias Harris (ankle) did not participate in shootaround on Monday morning. After missing Saturday's victory over the visiting Charlotte Hornets and Sunday's practice due to a sprained right ankle, Harris remains very much in danger of missing Monday's meeting with the Miami Heat. The versatile star forward appears to be closer to doubtful than questionable. If Harris is ultimately ruled out on Monday, veteran Nicolas Batum should stay in Philly's starting lineup. Covering four games for the Sixers without Harris in 2023-24, Batum is averaging 5.0 points, 4.8 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 2.7 combined steals plus blocks, and 1.0 triples and would only be a low-end fantasy streamer against a Heat team surrendering the fourth-fewest DraftKings points to opposing power forwards.

Mon Mar 1815:47Jimmy Butler Questionable With Foot ContusionJimmy ButlerSGBullsFree Agent
Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (foot) is questionable for Monday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. A right foot contusion cost Butler the front end of Miami's back-to-back in Sunday's narrow win over the Detroit Pistons, and the two-way superstar forward's status remains up in the air on Monday. Since Tyler Herro (foot) is out of action, the Heat offense would run through Bam Adebayo and Terry Rozier if Butler can't go against the Sixers. First-round rookie Jaime Jaquez Jr. has been the definitive fantasy beneficiary of Butler's absences this season, averaging 15.9 points, 4.6 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 1.2 steals, and 0.9 treys through 20 games without Butler, but the 208.5-point over/under implies this is unlikely to be a high-scoring affair.

Mon Mar 1815:22Jrue Holiday Sitting Against PistonsJrue HolidayPGPelicansFree Agent
The Boston Celtics have ruled out guard Jrue Holiday (shoulder) for Monday's contest versus the Detroit Pistons. Dealing with a right shoulder contusion in the aftermath of Sunday's blowout win over the Washington Wizards, Holiday will catch a breather on the second leg of Boston's back-to-back against the last-place Pistons. The two-way star guard should have a good chance at suiting up for Wednesday's clash between two Eastern Conference heavyweights and a revenge game against the Milwaukee Bucks. Derrick White has been a second-round player overall in nine-category fantasy leagues, and across six games without Holiday this year, he's averaging 16.8 points, 5.8 rebounds, 5.8 assists, 2.1 three-pointers, and 2.1 combined steals plus blocks and is in a smash spot against a Detroit team that's allowing the second-most FanDuel points per game to opposing point guards.

Mon Mar 1809:22Doug McDermott To Remain Absent On MondayDoug McDermottSFBullsFree Agent
Indiana Pacers forward Doug McDermott (calf) will remain out of the lineup on Monday versus Cleveland. We haven't seen the sharpshooter on the court since Feb. 26, and Monday will mark his 10th consecutive absence. With McDermott unavailable, Jarace Walker and Obi Toppin have a chance to earn more minutes as backup forwards, while Ben Sheppard also benefits off the bench. The latter has actually seen the biggest rise in playing time recently. Sheppard has yet to show good enough consistency to be regarded as a good fantasy option.

Mon Mar 1809:16LeBron James Continues To Carry A Questionable Tag MondayLeBron JamesSFCavaliersFree Agent
Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) is once again considered questionable as the team prepares to face the Hawks on Monday night. James recently had to skip a game with a troublesome left ankle, but he's logged 38-plus minutes in all three games since returning, and the questionable designation tends to be more of a likely tag with him. The veteran superstar went off for a near 40-point triple-double on Saturday against the Warriors when Anthony Davis (eye) was limited to just 12 minutes. He's averaging 27.2 points, 8.2 rebounds, 9.5 assists, and 1.3 steals for the month. Performing well against a defensively challenged team like Atlanta shouldn't cause James any issues.

Mon Mar 1809:10Anthony Davis Listed As Questionable For MondayAnthony DavisPFPelicansFree Agent
Los Angeles Lakers forward/center Anthony Davis (eye) has officially been listed as questionable for Monday's tilt against Atlanta. He suffered a left corneal abrasion on Saturday against Golden State, playing only in the first quarter. Jaxson Hayes will be called on to hold down the fort in the middle if Davis can't play on Monday. However, reports are suggesting that he already stated to feel better on Saturday night, so there should be a chance Davis will suit up. The Lakers will be desperate to have him on the court after falling to 10th in the Western Conference. Monday's matchup would be a highly favorable one for Davis, as the Hawks are bad defensively and give up the fourth-most rebounds in the league to the center position.

Sun Mar 1723:00Still No Timetable For Russell Westbrook's ReturnRussell WestbrookPGThunderFree Agent
Los Angeles Clippers guard Russell Westbrook (hand) underwent hand surgery back on March 4 and there was initial hope that he would return before the playoffs started. Head coach Tyronn Lue gave an update on Sunday and said Westbrook was "continuing to improve," but there was still no timetable for his return. The former MVP last played on March 1 before hurting his hand. Before that, he didn't miss a single game and since then, the Clippers have been an even 4-4 while he's watched from the sidelines. Westbrook most likely won't be back for the fantasy playoffs, but there's still a chance he's back before the NBA Playoffs kick off.

Sun Mar 1721:58Jordan Clarkson Ruled Out Again Versus TimberwolvesJordan ClarksonSGLakersFree Agent
Utah Jazz guard Jordan Clarkson (groin) has been ruled out of a third consecutive game. He will miss the Monday contest against the Minnesota Timberwolves while he continues to deal with a right groin strain. Groin strains seem to be up there with the injuries that linger the most like hamstring issues. On top of that, the Jazz aren't competing for the playoffs, so they don't have a reason to rush Clarkson back to action. The youth movement has been going strong for the Jazz and they'll continue to get the bulk of the minutes while Clarkson is sidelined. Keyonte George, Kris Dunn, and Collin Sexton have all been solid streaming options in the meantime.

Sun Mar 1721:22Jerami Grant Expected To Miss Fourth Straight GameJerami GrantSF76ersFree Agent
Portland Trail Blazers forward Jerami Grant (hamstring) has received a doubtful status on the injury report for Monday night. The veteran wing is still suffering from a strained right hamstring that seems to be too painful to take the court just yet. There's a very small chance he plays if the hamstring isn't giving him any issues during shootaround and the lead-up to tip-off. Since he's most likely to miss this contest, however, Toumani Camara and Kris Murray are the better candidates for playing time. They both present a lot of risk as streaming options, but there aren't many surefire fantasy assets on this Blazers team right now.

Sun Mar 1720:48James Harden Available Sunday Versus AtlantaJames HardenSGRocketsFree Agent
Los Angeles Clippers guard James Harden (shoulder) is available for Sunday's tilt with the Atlanta Hawks. The 34-year-old has been dealing with a left shoulder strain and has missed the last two games. Before being injured, Harden averaged 17.8 points, 8.6 assists, and 5.4 rebounds in 36.0 minutes per game across five contests. Bones Hyland played 24 minutes on Friday against New Orleans. However, with Harden's return, Hyland will see his minutes reduced on Sunday.

Sun Mar 1720:15Rudy Gobert Questionable Monday Versus UtahRudy GobertCJazzFree Agent
Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert (rib) is listed as questionable for Monday's tilt versus the Utah Jazz. The big man didn't suit up Saturday and may be out for a second straight game. Naz Reid is a fantasy option at center if Gobert is unable to go. He stepped up in Gobert's absence on Saturday, recording 22 points, 12 rebounds, five assists, two blocks and two steals in 36 minutes on the court.

Sun Mar 1720:03Kyle Anderson Questionable MondayKyle AndersonSFSpursFree Agent
Minnesota Timberwolves forward Kyle Anderson (shoulder) is questionable for Monday's game against the Utah Jazz. Anderson suited up Saturday against the Jazz, spending 31 minutes on the court while posting four points, five rebounds, nine assists, one block, and two steals. He was also listed as questionable on Saturday but was able to suit up. The 30-year-old has been in the Timberwolves lineup 64 of 67 games this season.

Sun Mar 1717:35Tobias Harris Questionable For Monday's GameTobias HarrisSFMagicFree Agent
Philadelphia 76ers forward Tobias Harris (ankle) has been listed as questionable for Monday's matchup against Miami. Harris missed Saturday's game against Charlotte with a right ankle sprain and couldn't practice on Sunday. The questionable tag leaves his status up in the air, but it's looking likely Harris will miss a second consecutive game. Nicolas Batum notched eight points, eight rebounds, four assists, three steals, and two blocks as Harris' replacement in the starting five on Saturday. It was an outstanding line from the veteran, but fantasy managers shouldn't expect the same on Monday, as Philadelphia faces a much stronger team.

Sun Mar 1713:39Jimmy Butler Sidelined Versus DetroitJimmy ButlerSGBullsFree Agent
Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (foot) won't play on Sunday in the rematch with Detroit. Butler has been banged up all season, which is nothing unusual. While he's just as productive as ever, he'll miss his 20th game versus the Pistons. It appears there's a chance he'll be back in the lineup on Monday versus the 76ers, his former team. But with Tyler Herro (foot) out as well, Duncan Robinson, Jaime Jaquez Jr., and Terry Rozier should see more scoring chances. Of course, Bam Adebayo is the favorite to remain the team's No. 1 offensive contributor.
