Golden State Warriors forward/center Kristaps Porzingis (illness) will miss the first leg of a back-to-back on Monday against the Utah Jazz. He is expected to return to the lineup for Tuesday's matchup with the Chicago Bulls. Porzingis returned from a six-game absence in Saturday's loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder, contributing nine points, five rebounds, five assists, and one block in 23 minutes. With Porzingis and Al Horford (toe) sidelined on Monday, Quinten Post is set to return to the rotation and could make a significant impact in a favorable matchup.

Oklahoma City Thunder guard/forward Alex Caruso (hip) is questionable to suit up on Monday night against the Denver Nuggets. The veteran injured his left hip earlier this week and has already sat out one game. Oklahoma City mostly misses Caruso's defensive ability. The team will have Ajay Mitchell (ankle, abdomen) back from a 20-game absence on Monday, and he will help cover for Caruso if needed. Isaiah Joe, Aaron Wiggins, and Cason Wallace would also be in a position to see more minutes.

Phoenix Suns guard/forward Grayson Allen (knee) won't play on Sunday night against the Charlotte Hornets. He was listed as probable on the initial injury report, but the team has downgraded Allen to out ahead of tip-off. In Allen's absence, guys like Ryan Dunn and Amir Coffey could see more minutes off the bench. That said, the two don't look particularly attractive from a fantasy standpoint, and Phoenix must lean a lot on the starting group in Sunday's game.

Toronto Raptors forward/center Collin Murray-Boyles (thumb) will be sidelined for at least two more games, Sportsnet's Michael Grange reports. The rookie big man is nursing a left thumb sprain and missed a third consecutive contest on Sunday against Dallas. He has now also been ruled out for Toronto's upcoming back-to-back set on the road against Houston and New Orleans. Fortunately for the team, Jakob Poeltl appears to have returned to top form after a long battle with a back injury. The Austrian giant finished Sunday's win over Dallas with a 16-point, 10-rebound double-double, adding four assists, one steal, and two blocks. Sandro Mamukelashvili also had a fine outing as the backup center, notching 13 points, seven rebounds, three assists, one steal, and one block.

Chicago Bulls guard Josh Giddey (ankle) is available to play ahead of Sunday's game against the Sacramento Kings. Giddey will shed the questionable tag and return to action after missing Thursday's game. Given he only missed one game, Giddey isn't expected to operate under a minutes limit. Since the All-Star break, Giddey is averaging 13.6 points, 6.7 assists, and 6.1 rebounds across 27.1 minutes per game. Fantasy managers should get Giddey active in their lineups ahead of tip-off. Both Rob Dillingham and Collin Sexton should see reduced roles with Giddey returning.

Chicago Bulls forward Matas Buzelis (ankle) is available to play ahead of Sunday's game against the Sacramento Kings. Buzelis will shed the questionable tag and return to the mix after missing Thursday's game due to an ankle issue. The second-year forward has been on a nice run lately. Over the last five games, Buzelis is averaging 19.6 points, 6.0 rebounds, and 2.4 assists across 29.4 minutes per game. Fantasy managers can go ahead and get Buzellis active in their lineups ahead of tip-off.

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Ajay Mitchell (ankle, abdomen) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Monday's game against the Denver Nuggets. Mitchell is set to return following a 20-game absence due to an abdominal strain and sprained left ankle. He's expected to operate under a minutes limit, given Mitchell hasn't played since mid-January. His return to the rotation should mean reduced roles for Jared McCain, Isaiah Joe, and Cason Wallace. Mitchell could be worth snagging for the fantasy playoffs, but it'll likely take him a few games to ramp up.

Portland Trail Blazers forward Deni Avdija (back) will return to the lineup on Sunday against the Indiana Pacers, Danny Marang of 1080 The Fan Portland reports. Avdija will be on a minutes restriction after missing six games due to a lower back injury. It's unclear how much Avdija will play, but his return is good news for Portland and fantasy managers alike. With Avdija back, Scoot Henderson will probably have to settle for a bench role. This might actually be beneficial for the young guard, as Henderson has struggled in recent games as a starter.

Milwaukee Bucks forward Kyle Kuzma (back) has been ruled out for Sunday's tilt against the Orlando Magic. Initially, he was listed as questionable for the game due to a back injury. Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) will also depart the lineup on Sunday, and Kevin Porter Jr. (knee) remains out, leaving Milwaukee short-handed for this contest. As a result, Bobby Portis, Ryan Rollins, and Cam Thomas will be expected to do most of the work on the offensive end.

Oklahoma City Thunder center Isaiah Hartenstein (calf) has been ruled out for Monday's contest against the Denver Nuggets. He will sit out a second consecutive game due to a left calf contusion. With Chet Holmgren (illness) questionable, Jaylin Williams could once again have a heavy workload as a starter in the frontcourt. The 23-year-old has averaged 10.4 points, 6.9 rebounds, 3.2 assists, and 1.0 blocks in the starting unit this season. Kenrich Williams and Aaron Wiggins could also be more involved in the action.

Oklahoma City Thunder forward/center Chet Holmgren (illness) is considered questionable for Monday's meeting with the Denver Nuggets. The Thunder have already ruled out Isaiah Hartenstein (calf) for the game and may also be without Holmgren, who is battling the flu. With the two big men sidelined, Jaylin Williams and Isaiah Joe started on Saturday against the Golden State Warriors. Both performed well and are likely to keep their spots in the first unit if Holmgren is ruled out. In the absence of Holmgren and Hartenstein, Kenrich Williams and Aaron Wiggins have also seen an uptick in playing time.

Brooklyn Nets forward Michael Porter Jr. (rest) has been ruled out ahead of Monday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. Porter will take a seat for the front end of this back-to-back set. The expectation is that he'll return to the court for Tuesday's game against the Detroit Pistons. Without Porter available, Danny Wolf, Ziaire Williams, and Ochai Agbaji are all candidates to see increased playing time. Among the three, Williams is the best streaming option without Porter on the court. He finished with 23 points, four rebounds, and knocked down five three-pointers during Friday's contest. He's worth a look in deep leagues at the minimum, while Porter is out.

Denver Nuggets point guard Jamal Murray (ankle) is listed as questionable for Monday's fascinating matchup against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Murray sprained his left ankle on Friday night against the Knicks, playing only 18 minutes. Fortunately, he appears to have avoided a major injury, but the Canadian star may still have to miss some time. Julian Strawther started the second half in Murray's place against the Knicks. Considering Strawther failed to make a significant impact, the Nuggets could consider starting Tyus Jones on Monday if Murray can't play. There would also be additional minutes available for Bruce Brown and Tim Hardaway Jr.

Philadelphia 76ers guard VJ Edgecombe (back) is listed as questionable for Monday's clash against the Cleveland Cavaliers. The rookie has missed a pair of games with a back problem, but he could be back in action on Monday night. The 76ers could certainly need some help after losing Tyrese Maxey (finger) to injury this weekend. Philadelphia also remains without Joel Embiid (oblique) and Paul George (suspension). Due to the injury situation, Edgecombe could play a very important role in Monday's contest if he returns. If he can't make it back, Quentin Grimes will continue to have additional fantasy value as his replacement in the starting lineup.

Sacramento Kings forward DeMar DeRozan (illness) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Chicago Bulls. He was absent from the initial injury report, but he must've picked up an illness throughout the day. Fantasy managers should consider DeRozan as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Indiana Pacers. His absence should open up playing time for Nique Clifford, Daeqwon Plowden, and Doug McDermott. Among the three, Clifford is likely going to be the most useful streaming option. He figures to have a sizable role on Sunday and is worth starting while DeRozan is out.

Orlando Magic guard Anthony Black (back) won't play on Sunday against the Milwaukee Bucks. He injured his back in Saturday's loss to Minnesota and has been ruled out for Sunday's action after initially being considered questionable. Tristan da Silva is set to rejoin the starting lineup in Black's absence, while Jevon Carter may see increased minutes off the bench. This season, da Silva has averaged 10.8 points and 4.7 rebounds per game in 20 starts.

Orlando Magic forward Jonathan Isaac (knee) is ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. Isaac will miss his third straight game due to left knee soreness. Given his injury history, it's not shocking to see the Magic being extremely cautious with Isaac. His absence from the rotation should mean more minutes for Noah Penda, Tristan da Silva, and possibly Goga Bitadze. Penda has been mostly quiet since being recalled from the G-League earlier this month. He's a decent dynasty stash, but isn't consistent enough to warrant streaming in most formats right now.

Milwaukee Bucks guard Kevin Porter Jr. (knee) will miss a third consecutive game on Sunday against the Orlando Magic. He is dealing with a knee issue and has given up his spot in the starting lineup to Ryan Rollins. Since returning to the first unit, Rollins has posted back-to-back double-doubles. He missed a triple-double by just two assists in Saturday's win over Utah. On Sunday, Rollins is expected to carry a huge offensive load, as the Bucks will also be without the services of Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf).

Milwaukee Bucks forward/center Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) won't be in the lineup on Sunday against the Orlando Magic. He will sit out the second game of a back-to-back after tallying 27 points, nine rebounds, eight assists, and four steals in 27 minutes in Saturday's win over Utah. Bobby Portis is the most likely candidate to start in Antetokounmpo's spot. Across nine previous starts this season, Portis has averaged 15.6 points, 9.4 rebounds, and 2.6 assists. Antetokounmpo's absence could also increase responsibilities for Kyle Kuzma (back), though he is considered questionable for Sunday's game.

Philadelphia 76ers point guard Tyrese Maxey (finger) will miss the team's upcoming back-to-back against Cleveland and Memphis. The two-time All-Star sprained his right fifth finger in Saturday's loss to Atlanta. Maxey will undergo further testing before a treatment plan is established. With Maxey absent, Cameron Payne and Quentin Grimes will have increased roles in the backcourt. Offensively, Kelly Oubre Jr. will also be expected to do more, especially with Joel Embiid (oblique) and Paul George (suspension) still unavailable.
