Houston Rockets center Aperen Sengun (ankle) will be re-evaluated in one week after tweaking his ankle in Saturday's loss to the Dallas Mavericks. Unfortunately, head coach Ime Udoka estimated the 2021 No. 16 overall selection could be sidelined for 10-14 days. He's having another fantastic year, averaging a career-high 21.8 points, adding 9.0 rebounds, 6.5 assists, 1.5 steals, and 1.0 blocks. While Sengun is on the shelf, Steven Adams, averaging 6.7 points, 9.0 rebounds, and 1.0 steals in seven starts throughout the 2025 campaign, should fill the void in the rotation, with Clint Capela coming in for relief.

Charlotte Hornets center Moussa Diabate (wrist) will play on Monday versus the Thunder after missing the last two games. With Ryan Kalkbrenner (elbow) out of commission, Diabate has been filling in admirably. In six starts this season, he's averaged 8.8 points and 11.8 rebounds, which is good enough to land him a spot in most fantasy lineups, even with a tough matchup on tap. Diabate's return will mean PJ Hall will head back to the bench.

Charlotte Hornets guard Kon Knueppel (hip) is available on Monday against Oklahoma City. The former Duke Blue Devil has averaged 19.4 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 42.8% shooting from behind the arc, putting him in the Rookie of the Year conversation. He popped up on the injury report heading into this one. However, Knueppel will be out there. With that said, the 20-year-old could see below-average production against the top defensive squad in the National Basketball Association, although he remains a must-start in all fantasy formats.

Charlotte Hornets forward Brandon Miller (knee) will play on Monday versus OKC. The 23-year-old popped up on the injury report because of a knee contusion, although he'll avoid his first absence in over a month. He's averaged 19.7 points, 4.2 rebounds, and 1.1 blocks throughout the 2025 campaign, so he should be featured in all fantasy lineups. However, Miller may not be as productive as usual against the league's top defensive club.

Chicago Bulls guard Coby White (calf) will play on Monday night against Boston after missing the last three games. Despite being limited to only 16 contests throughout the 2025 campaign, he's averaged 19.2 points, the second-highest mark of his career. While the Celtics have allowed 110.7 points per game this season, White has an excellent opportunity to be more productive than usual with Josh Giddey (hamstring) sidelined. With White back on the floor, Tre Jones will presumably return to the bench.

Charlotte Hornets guard Kon Knueppel (hip) has been upgraded to probable for Monday's matchup with the Oklahoma City Thunder. It looks more like the 20-year-old rookie will suit up after he was listed as questionable earlier. Knueppel is having an excellent rookie campaign, posting averages of 19.4 points, 3.5 assists, and 5.1 rebounds across 19.4 minutes per contest across 34 appearances. Fantasy managers should check on Knueppel's status closer to tip-off, 8:00 p.m. ET.

According to Law Murray of The Athletic, Los Angeles Clippers guard James Harden is listed as questionable for Monday's matchup with the Golden State Warriors. As a late addition to the Clippers' injury report, the 36-year-old will likely sit out during tonight's tilt. If Harden is unable to suit up, Kris Dunn will likely take primary ball-handling duties this evening. Dunn, in his last outing, finished with 10 points, six assists, and four rebounds across 30 minutes on Saturday against the Celtics.

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee) is listed as probable for Monday's matchup with the Denver Nuggets. Embiid is likely to suit up for his fourth consecutive contest this evening. The star big man is starting to return to form after struggling to begin the 2025 season, finishing with 26 points, 10 rebounds and five assists across 33 minutes during Saturday's 130-119 win over the Knicks in his last outing. Fantasy managers should have a better idea if Embiid is good to go closer to tip-off.

According to Josh Lewenberg of TSN, Toronto Raptors center Jakob Poeltl (back) is completing a program "intensive rehab and strengthening," and will be re-evaluated in a week. Poeltl has missed six consecutive contests due to a back issue. The injury has limited the 30-year-old big man to 21 games this campaign. When Poelt has been active, he's averaged 9.7 points, 7.7 rebounds, and 2.1 assists across 25.3 minutes per contest. Sandro Mamukelashvili has been productive fantasy-wise and should remain an asset for fantasy managers while Poeltl is sidelined.

Denver Nuggets point guard Jamal Murray (ankle) won't suit up against the Philadelphia 76ers on Monday. Murray has been dealing with a left ankle sprain and will miss his second game of the season. He was able to play through the ankle injury during Sunday's 127-115 loss to the Nets, posting 27 points, 16 assists, and six rebounds across 40 minutes. Sunday's contest is the second half of a back-to-back set, so the Nuggets don't want to take any chances on possibly making the injury worse. The 28-year-old could return on Wednesday versus the Celtics.

Memphis Grizzlies forward/center Santi Aldama (ankle) will suit up for Sunday's game against the Lakers. The 24-year-old is having the best season of his career. He most recently had 15 points, seven rebounds, and three assists when these clubs met on Friday night. With that said, Aldama could be in line for an uptick in statistical contributions in Sunday's rematch, considering Ja Morant (calf) is ruled out.

Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant (calf) won't play on Sunday against the Lakers. He was listed as questionable throughout the day. However, the 26-year-old began trending in the wrong direction a few hours heading into this one. Fortunately, Santi Aldama (ankle) is available, so he should pick up a lot of the slack on the offensive end alongside Jaren Jackson Jr., Cedric Coward, and Cam Spencer in a projected high-scoring contest.

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) is available on Sunday night against the Kings. The multi-time MVP routinely appears on the injury report, which is never shocking to anyone at this point. However, what's more surprising is he'll now suit up for a fifth-straight contest. All things considered, Antetokounmpo remains a must-start, obviously, and he might be more productive than usual in a meeting with one of the worst defensive clubs in the NBA.

Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young (quadriceps) won't play in Monday's rematch with the Raptors. He has missed the last four games because of a quadriceps contusion. As of now, the former Sooner is considered day-to-day, so his next opportunity to return will be on Wednesday against the New Orleans Pelicans. While Young remains on the shelf, Nickeil Alexander-Walker, who had a game-high 31 points when these two clubs met on Saturday, should remain in the starting lineup, with Vik Krejci receiving more action from off the bench.

Phoenix Suns forward Grayson Allen (knee) remains out for Sunday's game against OKC, marking his ninth-straight absence. The former Duke Blue Devil was initially listed as questionable, so it seems things are moving in a positive direction. Now, fantasy managers are left wondering if he'll be back on Monday in Houston. In the meantime, Royce O'Neale, coming off a seven-point, five-rebound, three-block, two-steal performance on Friday versus the Sacramento Kings, should continue to fill Allen's spot in the rotation.

Denver Nuggets shooting guard Christian Braun (ankle) is available to play on Sunday against the Brooklyn Nets. After missing games since November 12th due to an ankle injury, Braun will return on Sunday under a minutes restriction. The fourth-year guard averaged 11.4 points, 4.4 rebounds, and 3,0 assists in 11 games this season. Still, with center and primary ball handler Nikola Jokic out indefinitely, Braun could see more production now than earlier in the season. Expect Jalen Pickett to return to his reserve role with Braun back. His minutes will be monitored over the next few games, but he still carries rosterable value.

Denver Nuggets point guard Jamal Murray (ankle) is available to play on Sunday against the Brooklyn Nets. Murray suffered an ankle injury during Friday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers, but was listed as probable for this matchup against the Nets and is now set to go. Murray has been hot as of late, averaging over 27 points per game since the start of December. With superstar center Nikola Jokic (knee) out indefinitely, the point guard will have to dominate to keep this team afloat. He will have some help, as shooting guard Christian Braun and power forward Aaron Gordon are returning on Sunday. Murray should be in all fantasy lineups today and moving forward as he looks to keep his hot streak alive.

Denver Nuggets power forward Aaron Gordon (hamstring) is returning on Sunday against the Brooklyn Nets. After not playing since November 22nd, Gordon is off the injury report and will play under a minutes restriction. In only 13 games this season, Gordon has averaged a career-high 18.8 points, while adding 5.9 rebounds and 1.3 assists. With Gordon back in action, power forward Spencer Jones is set to head back to the bench, while Peyton Watson could have less of an impact as well. With superstar center Nikola Jokic (knee) out indefinitely, the Nuggets need the reinforcements, even if Gordon sees limited playing time.

Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant (calf) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Lakers. He's missed plenty of time throughout his career. However, the 25-year-old is now in danger of sitting out because of a right calf contusion. With Vince Williams Jr. (knee) already ruled out, Cam Spencer may find himself handling things at the one spot. The 2024 No. 53 overall pick has had an excellent rookie campaign, averaging 12.0 points, 4.8 assists, and 48.5% shooting from behind the arc, making him an attractive fantasy option in a potential high-scoring contest. Spencer could be even more productive if Santi Aldama (ankle) doesn't suit up.

Brooklyn Nets small forward Michael Porter Jr. (illness) is good to go for their contest against the Denver Nuggets. Porter has missed the past two games with an illness, but is off the injury report and set to face his former team. In his first season with the Nets, Porter has had a career season, averaging a career-high 25.8 points per game, with 7.5 rebounds and 3.3 assists. The Nets' offense has struggled without their leading scorer, totaling under 100 points in both games Porter missed. With added motivation facing the team that traded him earlier this offseason, expect Porter to be a full-go and to have a significant share of the volume on Sunday.
