Dallas Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving (shoulder) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Tuesday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. Irving is set to return after missing Sunday's game due to right shoulder soreness. Fantasy managers should expect Irving to have his full workload on Tuesday. Jalen Hardy figures to have a reduced role with Irving back in the mix. Hardy played 23 minutes on Sunday, but has mostly been playing in the teens when Irving is healthy.

According to Will Guillory of The Athletic, New Orleans Pelicans forwardHerbert Jones(shoulder) will not play Monday against the Atlanta Hawks as he is dealing with a right ankle strain. The 26-year-old hasn't been able to suit up since October 29 and will miss one more game.Yves Missihas joined the starting five sinceZion Williamson(hamstring) has also been out, and he's averaged 8.8 points, 8.3 rebounds, 1.3 assists, and 1.1 blocks per game over the last 15 games. He could potentially be an option at the center for deeper fantasy leagues.

Los Angeles Lakers forward/center Anthony Davis (foot) will play against Minnesota on Monday. As usual, Davis was listed as probable on the initial injury report, but the team has upgraded him to available. Davis is coming off another big performance, having tallied a game-high 33 points and 11 rebounds in Sunday's 105-104 victory over Utah. He'll head out for his sixth straight double-double on Monday. Davis will square off against four-time NBA Defensive Player of the Year Rudy Gobert, but he rocked it against the French giant in this season's first meeting. Davis posted 36 points with 16 rebounds and three blocks in a 110-103 win against Minnesota on opening night.

Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green (calf) is listed as questionable ahead of Tuesday's game against the Denver Nuggets. Green was unable to practice on Monday due to calf tightness. Head coach Steve Kerr said Green is doubtful to play after initially being considered questionable for Tuesday. If he sits, Jonathan Kuminga and Kyle Anderson would likely both see boosts in playing time and fantasy value. Neither player has been a reliable fantasy option this season, but Kuminga is the better choice between the two if Green is unable to play.

Chicago Bulls guard Coby White (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's game against Brooklyn. He'll be out for the first time this season after spraining his left ankle against Boston on Friday. White averages the second-most minutes on the team, meaning there's going to be plenty of extra work available for the rest of the Bulls. Lonzo Ball and Talen Horton-Tucker are the main candidates to step up from the bench, with Zach LaVine and Josh Giddey getting a usage boost among the starters.

Dallas Mavericks guard Klay Thompson (foot) is listed as questionable ahead of Tuesday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. The veteran guard has missed the last four games due to plantar fasciitis in his left foot. Quentin Grimes has been starting in his place and has been taking advantage of the extra playing time. In fact, Grimes has scored over 20 points in each of the last three games. He's looking like a fantastic fantasy option right now especially with Thompson sidelined.

Brooklyn Nets forward Cameron Johnson (ankle) will not suit up for Monday's tilt against Chicago. He has been downgraded from questionable to out. The Nets are down to bare bones on Monday, giving the likes of Jalen Wilson and Tyrese Martin a chance to showcase their talent better. Meanwhile, we should see Dennis Schroder a lot with the ball. The Brooklyn point guard has posted 20-plus points in each of his last three appearances and should do plenty of damage again on Monday, as the Bulls allow a league-high 124.2 points per game.

Boston Celtics guard Derrick White (foot) will rejoin the lineup for Monday's tilt against Miami. White was unavailable as Boston kicked off a back-to-back on Sunday versus Cleveland, and he was initially listed as questionable for Monday's game. Jrue Holiday (knee) will not take the court on Monday, meaning White will have extra responsibilities. He has contributed well across the board all season, averaging 18.3 points, 4.7 rebounds, 4.4 assists, 1.1 blocks, and 0.9 steals.

Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports that Atlanta Hawks guard/forward Bogdan Bogdanovic (hamstring) is set to return on Monday against the New Orleans Pelicans. He missed Saturday's game against Charlotte as the Hawks wrapped up back-to-back games. The experienced scorer has recently returned from a hamstring issue, and the team is being cautious about his playing time. Since rejoining the lineup on November 18, Bogdanovic has averaged 12.2 points and 3.8 rebounds in 24.3 minutes per contest. New Orleans has been allowing the fifth-most bench points this season, so Bogdanovic and Atlanta's second unit are primed for a strong performance on Monday night.

Boston Celtics forward Sam Hauser (personal) has been ruled out for Monday's meeting with Miami. After making his first start of the campaign on Sunday versus Cleveland, Hauser will exit the lineup due to personal reasons. Jrue Holiday (knee), Kristaps Porzingis (foot), and Al Horford (toe) are all out as well, opening up a lot of minutes for Boston's reserves. Payton Pritchard should be a very attractive fantasy target, while Drew Peterson might be more involved in the action again. He logged a career-high 25 minutes in Sunday's 115-111 loss, scoring eight points and notching four rebounds with one steal.

According to Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network, Atlanta Hawks point guard Trae Young (Achilles) will play against the New Orleans Pelicans after he was listed as probable earlier on Monday. The Hawks superstar is dealing with right Achilles tendinitis but has played through the issue with no problems. Young went a bit quiet against the Hornets on Saturday but has been performing at a very high level recently, appearing in nine straight games, averaging 18.2 points, 12.7 assists, 3.0 rebounds, and 1.3 steals in 34.8 minutes per game.

Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum (knee) will play against Miami on Monday. Following Sunday's 115-111 loss to Cleveland, Tatum carried a questionable tag on the initial injury report but has now been upgraded to available. He's coming off back-to-back 30-point games and will look to keep his hot three-point shooting stretch going on Monday. Tatum has shot 15-for-35 from downtown across his past four appearances. Miami gives up the 11th-most three-point attempts in the league.

Brooklyn Nets centerDay'Ron Sharpe(hamstring) will make his season debut on Monday against the Chicago Bulls. Sharpe will likely have his minutes restricted, as he was cleared for on-court activity on November 27th after missing the first month of the season with a left hamstring strain. The 23-year-old's return is crucial, as he provides a much-needed big body under the rim, as the Nets currently have several vital players sidelined with injuries.

Brooklyn Nets forwardDorian Finney-Smith(ankle)will not suit up against the Bulls on Monday due to a left ankle sprain. It will be the third game in a row that he has missed. The 31-year-old is averaging 10.7 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 1.6 assists in 29.0 minutes across 15 appearances this season. On Monday, the Nets will also be without other key contributors, Ben Simmons (back) and Ziaire Williams (knee).

Brooklyn Nets guard/centerBen Simmons(back) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Chicago Bulls. Simmons played 13 minutes before exiting Sunday's game against the Magic due to a left knee contusion. His knee is not mentioned on the team's injury report, so he's likely not suiting up due to maintenance related to his back. Brooklyn will also have Dorian Finney-Smith(ankle)and Ziaire Williams(knee) missing in action.

Brooklyn Nets guard/forward Ziaire Williams (knee) will not play on Monday against the Chicago Bulls. Williams sustained a left knee sprain late in the fourth quarter of Sunday's game against the Magic. The severity of the sprain is currently unknown. Dorian Finney-Smith (ankle) and Ben Simmons (back) have also been ruled out. The 23-year-old Williams should also be considered questionable for Wednesday's game against the Pacers.

Los Angeles Lakers guard D'Angelo Russell (illness) may be dealing with an illness right now, but it doesn't seem to be too severe since the team has listed him as probable. He was forced to sit out against the Utah Jazz on Sunday, so the rest day seemed to get him ready for the second half of the back-to-back. He'll likely take on the Minnesota Timberwolves who has a middle-of-the-pack defense against point guards and one of the slower paces in the league. Meanwhile, Russell has averaged 12.2 points, 4.8 assists, 2.6 rebounds, and 1.0 steals per game.

Los Angeles Lakers center/forward Anthony Davis (foot) remains on the injury report for official purposes but is considered probable to play against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Monday. The Kentucky product is firmly in the MVP race this season and has put up some monstrous numbers to start off the year. Through 19 appearances, he's averaging 28.6 points, 11.5 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 1.3 steals, 2.0 blocks, and only 1.9 turnovers per game. He's been a force in every fantasy format.

Brooklyn Nets forwardCameron Johnson(ankle) is listed as questionable for Monday's contest with the Chicago Bulls. Johnson injured his ankle on Sunday and was diagnosed with a sprain. The 28-year-old has been in fine form this campaign, putting up a career-high 18.1 points and is 42.2 percent shooting from three-point range. If Johnson cannot suit up, the Nets will be very shorthanded. Ziaire Williams (knee), Dorian Finney-Smith (ankle), and Ben Simmons (back) have all been ruled out.

New Orleans Pelicans forward Herbert Jones (shoulder) isn't expected to play on Monday against the Atlanta Hawks since he's still dealing with a right shoulder strain. The 26-year-old hasn't been able to play since October 29, and will likely miss at least one more game. Yves Missi has joined the starting five since Zion Williamson (hamstring) has also been out, and he's averaged 8.8 points, 8.3 rebounds, 1.3 assists, and 1.1 blocks per game over the last 15 games. He could serve as a big man streamer in deeper leagues.
