Utah Jazz guard/forward
Cody Williams (shoulder) won't suit up on Monday night against the Toronto Raptors. He has been ruled out after Utah initially listed Williams as doubtful. The 21-year-old has been one of the offensive leaders for the Jazz recently, averaging 14.1 points, 4.4 rebounds, and 4.0 assists per game as a starter. With Williams out, Utah is promoting
John Konchar to the starting lineup, giving him extra fantasy value.

Toronto Raptors point guard
Jamal Shead will move into the starting unit on Monday against the Utah Jazz, with
Immanuel Quickley (foot) sidelined. The 27-year-old has made seven starts this season, averaging 12.9 points, 2.6 rebounds, 7.6 assists, and 1.1 steals. Shead definitely has the potential to reach the same numbers again on Monday night against the Jazz, who have been helpless against point guards all season -- no team has allowed more fantasy points to the position than them.

Toronto Raptors forward/center
Collin Murray-Boyles (thumb) will end an 11-game absence on Monday against the Utah Jazz. The rookie big man has been sidelined for nearly a month due to a left thumb sprain. With
Jakob Poeltl (back) unavailable, the Raptors are starting
Sandro Mamukelashvili at center, but Murray-Boyles should also get plenty of action in a juicy matchup. The 20-year-old has averaged 7.8 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 2.0 assists in 22.3 minutes per game during his first campaign in the Association.

Brooklyn Nets shooting guard
Drake Powell (knee) is unavailable to suit up against the Portland Trail Blazers on Monday, per C.J. Holmes of the New York Daily News. The 20-year-old rookie is set to sit out the last leg of a back-to-back due to left knee injury management after he logged eight points, three assists and three rebounds in 28 minutes during Sunday's loss to Sacramento. With Powell sidelined and a depleted Nets' rotation,
Jalen Wilson,
Ochai Agbaji and
Malachi Smith are expected to take on heavier workloads against the Blazers.

Denver Nuggets forward
Peyton Watson (hamstring) will not play Tuesday against Phoenix as the team manages his workload following a recent return from a lengthy absence. His absence could mean a few extra bench minutes for
Tim Hardaway Jr.,
Spencer Jones, and
Julian Strawther, though none are strong fantasy plays right now. Hardaway had six points, four rebounds, and one assist in his last game, while Jones chipped in five points with one three-pointer, one steal, and one block in 11 minutes. All three are risky deep-league streamers with unclear roles.

Indiana Pacers power forward
Obi Toppin (foot) will make a second consecutive appearance on Monday against the Orlando Magic. Toppin recently recovered from a fractured foot, and the team is still monitoring his workload. It was initially uncertain whether he would play on Monday when Indiana listed Toppin as questionable on the injury report. Toppin has looked good in his last five outings, posting averages of 12.6 points, 4.0 rebounds, and 2.4 assists.

Indiana Pacers guard/forward
Aaron Nesmith (ankle) has shaken off a questionable tag and will suit up on Monday against the Orlando Magic. He is managing a right ankle injury but is ready to make his sixth consecutive appearance. Despite producing a five-point dud on Saturday against San Antonio, Nesmith has averaged 15.6 points and 2.0 rebounds across his last five outings. However, with
Pascal Siakam (knee) and
Andrew Nembhard (calf) available on Monday, Nesmith likely has to take the backseat on the offensive end.

Chicago Bulls center
Jalen Smith (calf) will play Monday against Houston after missing one game, though he is expected to see roughly 22 to 24 minutes as he works back into form. The minutes cap could limit his short-term ceiling despite averages of 12.3 points, 6.3 rebounds, and 1.0 assists across his last four outings.
Nick Richards may still see rotational minutes off the bench, lowering Smith's rebound upside. Smith remains a viable option in deeper formats, but managers in weekly playoffs should account for the workload restriction before locking him in.

C.J. Holmes of the New York Daily News reports that Brooklyn Nets forward
Danny Wolf (ankle) is unavailable for Monday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. The 21-year-old rookie will sit out his first game since Nov. 24 after sustaining an ankle injury during Sunday's loss to Sacramento. With Wolf sidelined,
Chaney Johnson and
E.J. Liddell would likely see larger roles in the Nets' rotation this evening.

Sacramento Kings guard
Killian Hayes (foot) is questionable for Tuesday's game against Charlotte after exiting Sunday's win early due to soreness. With
Russell Westbrook (foot) already ruled out, Sacramento could lean more on
Devin Carter and
Malik Monk to handle point guard duties. Carter put up 16 points, five rebounds, three assists, and one steal in 27 minutes last game and could be worth a look in deeper leagues for assists. Monk went for 32 points with seven threes and six assists in 30 minutes and should have solid short-term value while the minutes are there.

March 23, 2026
Indiana Pacers guard
Andrew Nembhard (calf) has been upgraded to available for Monday's contest against the Orlando Magic. The team initially listed him as questionable on the injury report. While Nembhard has been held back by various health issues in recent weeks, he had a great outing on Saturday against San Antonio, putting up 25 points and dishing out seven assists. Nembhard has also performed well against the Magic this season, averaging 19.5 points and 9.0 assists in 33.0 minutes per game.

March 23, 2026
Sacramento Kings forward
Daeqwon Plowden (foot) is probable for Tuesday's game against Charlotte after missing the previous contest, putting the two-way wing on track to reclaim a rotation role. Plowden has averaged 14.4 points, 3.0 three-pointers, 3.2 rebounds, 1.2 assists, and 1.4 steals across his last five appearances, giving him deep-league appeal for threes and defensive stats. Sacramento's injury situation could keep minutes available.
Malik Monk and
Devin Carter should also continue seeing steady runs in the backcourt, while Plowden remains a viable short-term streamer if his workload holds.

March 23, 2026
Indiana Pacers forward
Pascal Siakam (knee) has been cleared to play on Monday against the Orlando Magic. He was initially listed as questionable due to a right knee sprain. The four-time All-Star has also dealt with a wrist injury this month, appearing in only four games. He has averaged 22.8 points, 4.5 rebounds, 3.5 assists, and 1.3 steals in 30.5 minutes in March. Orlando has struggled to contain Siakam this season, allowing him to score 60 points over two games.

March 23, 2026
According to C.J. Holmes of the New York Daily News, Brooklyn Nets guard
Terance Mann (rest) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. The 29-year-old will rest after recording five points, three rebounds, and two assists in 26 minutes during Sunday's loss to the Kings. With Mann out, the already depleted Nets rotation must rely on
Ziaire Williams and
Ochai Agbaji to take on expanded roles tonight.
--Andrew LennoxSource: C.J. Holmes
March 23, 2026
Sacramento Kings forward/center
Precious Achiuwa (back) is questionable for Tuesday's game against Charlotte after being listed with lower-back soreness following Sunday's win. He has been a steady part of the rotation lately, including a 14-point, 15-rebound effort in his most recent outing. If he sits,
Dylan Cardwell could see more frontcourt minutes after posting five points, three rebounds, two assists, and one block in 15 minutes last game.
Daeqwon Plowden (foot) could also see extra minutes if he's able to suit up.
