  • Player Notes
    Isaiah Collier Sun Mar 8 10:40pm

    Utah Jazz guard Isaiah Collier (personal) has been taken off the injury report ahead of Monday's contest against the Golden State Warriors, indicating he will be available to play. Collier wasn't in action on Saturday against Milwaukee, missing the game for personal reasons. The 21-year-old has enjoyed a strong second half of the season and is averaging 18.3 points, 6.3 assists, and 1.7 steals since the All-Star break. Even with Keyonte George healthy, Collier should still get plenty of minutes and offensive touches in Monday's game.

    Moses Moody Sun Mar 8 10:30pm

    Golden State Warriors guard/forward Moses Moody (wrist) will be sidelined for a third consecutive game on Monday against the Utah Jazz. He is working his way back from a sprained right wrist and will get his next opportunity to return on Tuesday against the Chicago Bulls. Due to Moody's absence, Gui Santos has earned a new opportunity in the first unit and is coming off an impressive 22-point, 11-rebound double-double in Saturday's loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder. Gary Payton II, who tallied seven points and 12 boards on Saturday, also has taken on an increased workload without Moody.

    De'Anthony Melton Sun Mar 8 10:30pm

    Golden State Warriors guard De'Anthony Melton (knee) isn't on the injury report for Monday's matchup with the Utah Jazz. After an impressive 30-minute performance on Thursday night against the Houston Rockets, the Warriors decided to rest Melton for Saturday's clash against the Oklahoma City Thunder. With Stephen Curry (knee) on the shelf, Melton has played a key role in Golden State's backcourt. He has averaged 17.7 points, 3.7 rebounds, 2.3 assists, and 1.7 steals since the All-Star break. Melton's return to the lineup will likely bump Pat Spencer back to the bench, where he won't have much fantasy value.

    Al Horford Sun Mar 8 10:20pm

    Golden State Warriors forward/center Al Horford (toe) will exit the lineup for Monday's tilt against the Utah Jazz. The team begins a back-to-back set with this matchup and is cautious with Horford, who is managing a toe injury. Kristaps Porzingis (illness) has also been ruled out, meaning we could see plenty of Quinten Post in Monday's game. Alternatively, the Warriors might run smaller lineups more often, given Utah's lack of size. Horford is likely to return to action on Tuesday night against the Chicago Bulls.

    Kristaps Porzingis Sun Mar 8 10:10pm

    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.

    Alex Caruso Sun Mar 8 10:00pm

    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.

    Grayson Allen Sun Mar 8 9:50pm

    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.

    Collin Murray-Boyles Sun Mar 8 9:50pm

    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.

    Josh Giddey Sun Mar 8 8:00pm

    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.

    Matas Buzelis Sun Mar 8 7:50pm

    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.

    Ajay Mitchell Sun Mar 8 7:40pm

    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.

    Deni Avdija Sun Mar 8 7:40pm

    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.

    Kyle Kuzma Sun Mar 8 7:30pm

    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.

    Isaiah Hartenstein Sun Mar 8 7:20pm

    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.

    Chet Holmgren Sun Mar 8 7:20pm

    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.

    Michael Porter Jr. Sun Mar 8 7:10pm

    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.

    Jamal Murray Sun Mar 8 7:10pm

    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.

    VJ Edgecombe Sun Mar 8 7:00pm

    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.

    DeMar DeRozan Sun Mar 8 6:50pm

    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.

    Anthony Black Sun Mar 8 6:50pm

    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.
