Sacramento Kings center Domantas Sabonis (ankle) will return from a three-game absence for Monday's clash with the Celtics. It hasn't been a quality month for the veteran, missing time because of hamstring and ankle issues. He'll also return against one of the best teams in the National Basketball Association. Still, Sabonis is a must-start for fantasy managers. His presence will likely mean less work for Jake LaRavia, who has had double-digit scoring outings in each of his last three appearances.

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (groin) is available for Monday's clash with the Magic. The 40-year-old suffered a strained groin during the March 8 loss to the Boston Celtics. As a result, he was sidelined for seven games. James returned for Saturday's loss to the Bulls, finishing with 17 points, six boards, four assists, and three steals. With that said, he could have trouble getting anything going on Monday versus a Magic team that has allowed only 106.1 points per game this season, the best mark in the NBA.

Los Angeles Lakers forward Rui Hachimura (knee) is available for Monday's game in Orlando. The 26-year-old missed 12 games before returning for Saturday's loss to the Chicago Bulls. Unfortunately, he didn't do much, finishing with only five points in 17 minutes. With LeBron James (groin), Luka Doncic, and Austin Reaves available, Hachimura could struggle to find scoring opportunities against an Orlando team that has allowed a league-best 106.1 points per game this season, even if he plays more than he did on Saturday night.

Orlando Magic guard Cole Anthony (toe) won't play on Monday versus the Lakers. He's battling a sprained toe, so he'll miss his third-straight game on Monday night. Cory Joseph, who had 11 points in the win over the Wizards on Friday, will presumably remain in the starting lineup. Anthony Black, who had 13 points, six assists, and one block in that one, should also see more work than usual. But Franz Wagner and Paolo Banchero will likely handle most of the opportunities on the offensive end.

New Orleans Pelicans forwardBruce Brown(rest) has been ruled out ahead of Monday's matchup with the Philadelphia 76ers. Brown will be sidelined for the second half of back-to-back games to rest after posting 12 points, two assists and one rebound across 35 minutes on Sunday against the Pistons. With Brown out, Jordan Hawkins and Jeremiah Robinson-Earl will likely have plenty of minutes and scoring opportunities, especially with seven Pelicans players unavailable this evening.

Dallas Mavericks forward Anthony Davis (adductor) will play on Monday night versus the Brooklyn Nets. AD was listed as doubtful on Sunday night, so most had assumed he wouldn't be out there. However, he'll return to the floor after being sidelined since February 8, his first game as a Maverick. With Dallas down Daniel Gafford (knee) and Dereck Lively II (ankle), Davis may need to hold things down at the five. But there's also a chance Kai Jones remains in the middle, with Davis moving over to the power forward spot. Either way, the former Laker will likely see a minutes cap, making him a risky option for fantasy managers.

New Orleans Pelicans guardCJ McCollum(rest) won't play against the Philadelphia 76ers on Monday. McCollum will get the night off to rest after dropping 40 points, five rebounds, seven assists and one steal over 37 minutes in Sunday's 136-130 loss to the Pistons. The 33-year-old is one of seven Pelicans listed as unavailable for tonight's contest.Yves Missi(hip) could also be sidelined, as he is listed as questionable due to right hip soreness. McCollum will likely be back in action against Golden State on Friday.

As expected, Denver Nuggets centerNikola Jokic(ankle) will be out of action on Monday against the Chicago Bulls. Jokic has been dealing with an ankle issue and will miss his fifth consecutive contest. The Nuggets start a five-game homestand tonight, and the big man will likely return soon. Fantasy managers can expect veteran center DeAndre Jordan to start versus the Bulls. He most recently posted 11 points, 15 rebounds, four assists and one steal across 38 minutes of work in a 116-111 win over the Rockets on Sunday.

New Orleans Pelicans forwardZion Williamson(back) won't play on Monday against the Philadelphia 76ers. Williamson will be out of action for the third consecutive contest due to a back contusion. The 24-year-old is one of seven Pelicans listed as unavailable for tonight's contest. Yves Missi (hip) could also be sidelined, as he is listed as questionable due to right hip soreness. The Pelicans won't be making the postseason, so how much Williamson will play during the final 10 regular season games is unclear. Kelly Olynyk, Jose Alvarado,Jordan Hawkins and Jeremiah Robinson-Earl will likely have heavy workloads this evening with so many Pelicans on the shelf.

Milwaukee Bucks guard Damian Lillard (calf) has been ruled out for the third consecutive game due to a sore right calf. The Bucks aren't going to risk Lillard's health if they don't have to with the playoffs coming in just a few weeks. The timing of this extended absence couldn't come at a worse time for fantasy managers though. Ryan Rollins has moved into the starting five but has had a limited fantasy ceiling in both points and category leagues. Two names to look for streaming-wise have been Gary Trent Jr. (probable - back) and Kevin Porter Jr. Both saw more minutes than Rollins despite coming off of the bench, while Porter registered 18 points, six assists, and three rebounds in their last game on Saturday.

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) remains on the injury report as usual but he's considered probable on Monday and should play against the Phoenix Suns. The former MVP will likely be the team's focal point once again with Damian Lillard (calf) ruled out. In their last game against the Sacramento Kings with Lillard sidelined, Antetokounmpo finished with 32 points, 17 rebounds, three assists, one steal, one block, and only two turnovers while shooting 12-for-20 from the floor. Look for him to have another big game against the Suns who have one of the worst defenses in the NBA (26th in Defensive rating).

Sacramento Kings guard Devin Carter (illness) appeared on the injury report as questionable for the Monday night matchup with the Boston Celtics while he deals with some sort of illness. The rookie guard has seen quite the fluctuation in minutes lately and has struggled to find his shooting efficiency, so his fantasy value is very limited, especially if Malik Monk (questionable - illness) suits up. Over the last nine games, Carter has averaged 5.2 points, 2.4 rebounds, 1.4 assists, and 1.1 steals per game. If Carter doesn't play, some more minutes will be available for Markelle Fultz, unless Keon Ellis gets shifted back to the bench.

Sacramento Kings guard Malik Monk (illness) may only need to miss one game for an illness after receiving a questionable status for Monday's game against the Boston Celtics. The 27-year-old has gone from sixth man to an everyday starter this season and has seen sizeable jumps in production with similar efficiency. This year, he's averaging 18.1 points, 5.9 assists, 3.8 rebounds, 1.0 steals, and 2.2 threes per game. So, if he plays, he's a must-start in most fantasy formats. On the other hand, Keon Ellis would be a solid streaming option if Monk can't play. Against the Milwaukee Bucks on Saturday, Ellis dropped 20 points, nine rebounds, and six assists.

Brooklyn Nets forward Ziaire Williams (hamstring) received a questionable status for the matchup with the Dallas Mavericks on Monday. The fourth-year wing is experiencing some hamstring tightness which kept him out of their last game on Saturday against the Indiana Pacers. Tyrese Martin took Williams' spot in the starting five against the Pacers and registered nine points, five assists, and four rebounds. Martin is a bit inconsistent as a streaming option, but if Williams can suit up, Martin's value will dip back down. Keon Johnson and Jalen Wilson serve as better options for fantasy managers looking to fill injury voids.

Sacramento Kings center/forward Domantas Sabonis (ankle) is in the midst of a three-game absence which could span to four games on Monday after being listed as questionable for the matchup with the Boston Celtics. The star big man has only appeared in three games in the month of March after missing just three games during the rest of the season. Jonas Valanciunas should remain in the starting five if Sabonis can't play. Over the last three games as a starter, Valanciunas averaged 12.0 points, 8.3 rebounds, and 1.3 assists per game. If Sabonis does take the court, however, he becomes a must-start again while Valanciunas only holds value in very deep category leagues.

Brooklyn Nets guard D'Angelo Russell (ankle) has been tagged as questionable for Monday's matchup with the Dallas Mavericks. The Nets have been looking forward to the draft lottery rather than the playoffs, so Russell has been on a trend of playing a few games and getting one off for rest. This could be the first time he's missed consecutive games since February. If he's unable to suit up, Keon Johnson and Tyrese Martin should remain in the starting five. In their last game, Johnson posted 17 points, four rebounds, one assist, and three steals across 33 minutes.

Dallas Mavericks guard Brandon Williams (back) is considered probable to play on Monday against the Brooklyn Nets. The 25-year-old has been a popular fantasy waiver wire pickup ever since Kyrie Irving (knee) went down with a knee injury. In his last seven games, Williams averages 17.1 points, 4.9 assists, 3.9 rebounds, 1.7 steals, and 1.3 threes across 28.0 minutes per game. His fantasy value may not be as high as it once was, but he should still receive a sizeable chunk of minutes off of the bench since Dante Exum (hand) and Caleb Martin (hip) both remain sidelined.

Indiana Pacers guard Bennedict Mathurin (ankle) is in danger of missing the first game of the week against the Minnesota Timberwolves with an ankle sprain. Over the last nine games, Mathurin has averaged 16.6 points, 5.1 rebounds, 1.8 assists, and 1.8 threes per game while shooting 43.4% from the floor and a red-hot 47.1% from deep. He even received a few starts in that span but shifted back to a bench role with Andrew Nembhard and Aaron Nesmith back in the lineup. If he can't suit up Monday, look for Obi Toppin, T.J. McConnell, and Ben Sheppard to get some extra minutes off of the bench.

Rockets' C Alperen Sengun recorded a triple-double, finishing with 17 points, 10 assists and 14 rebounds in a 111-116 loss to the Nuggets on Sunday, Mar. 23.

Heat's F Andrew Wiggins scored 42 points on 16-of-21 shooting in a 122-105 win over the Hornets on Sunday, Mar. 23.
