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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Miami Heat forward
Andrew Wiggins (toe) will rejoin the lineup on Monday against the San Antonio Spurs. He has been out for nearly three weeks due to a toe injury, missing eight games. Wiggins was outstanding in his first meeting with the Spurs this season, scoring 24 points and grabbing six rebounds in a 107-101 loss on Oct. 30. He is averaging 15.9 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 2.8 assists for the season. Wiggins' return reduces opportunities for
Simone Fontecchio and
Myron Gardner.

March 23, 2026
Sacramento Kings guard/forward
Nique Clifford (foot) will miss Tuesday's game against Charlotte after exiting his previous outing early, leaving Sacramento without one of its recent high-minute starters. His absence should open more runs for
Malik Monk and
Devin Carter. Monk is coming off 32 points with seven three-pointers and six assists in 30 minutes, making him a strong points and threes streamer. Carter chipped in 16 points, five rebounds, three assists, and one steal in 27 minutes and could be worth a look in deeper leagues.
Daeqwon Plowden (foot) could also rejoin the rotation if active.

March 23, 2026
According to C.J. Holmes of the New York Daily News, Brooklyn Nets forward/center
Noah Clowney (wrist) will miss Monday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. Clowney is set to sit out his third game in a row due to a sprained right wrist, leaving Brooklyn thin in the frontcourt.
Ziaire Williams is expected to continue starting and is a solid streaming option for tonight after posting 18 points, two rebounds, three assists, two steals and one block across 22 minutes against Sacramento on Sunday.
--Andrew LennoxSource: C.J. Holmes
March 23, 2026
Miami Heat guard/forward
Norman Powell (calf) will be back in action on Monday against the San Antonio Spurs. He didn't play in Saturday's loss to Houston due to a calf problem. Powell has battled health issues throughout the season and has made only three appearances in March. He is averaging 19.0 points, 3.0 rebounds, and 3.0 assists this month. Powell's offensive numbers have dipped recently due to 21.4 percent three-point shooting. He will face a top-three defense on Monday, so Powell may continue to struggle to find his offensive rhythm.

March 23, 2026
Sacramento Kings guard
Russell Westbrook (foot) will miss Tuesday's game against Charlotte, marking his second straight absence. His absence could continue to open backcourt minutes for
Malik Monk and
Devin Carter, especially if
Killian Hayes (foot) is also unavailable. Monk erupted for 32 points with seven three-pointers and six assists in 30 minutes in his last game, making him a strong short-term fantasy play. Carter added 16 points, five rebounds, and three assists in 27 minutes and remains a deeper-league option.
DeMar DeRozan may also handle more playmaking duties.

March 23, 2026
Philadelphia 76ers forward
Dominick Barlow (ankle) is available for Monday's clash against the Oklahoma City Thunder, Noah Levick of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports. Earlier in the day, the team upgraded Barlow from doubtful to questionable, and he has now been listed as available. The 22-year-old sprained his left ankle in Saturday's win over Utah, logging only four minutes. Barlow has started regularly for Philadelphia this season, averaging 8.5 points and 4.8 rebounds in the first unit. On Monday, he will have an opportunity to play a larger role on the offense end, as the 76ers are without
Joel Embiid (oblique),
Tyrese Maxey (finger),
Paul George (suspension),
Kelly Oubre Jr. (elbow), and
Quentin Grimes (illness).
--Taavi PailkSource: Noah Levick
March 23, 2026
Atlanta Hawks forward
Jalen Johnson (shoulder) has been ruled out for Monday's game against Memphis due to inflammation, marking his second straight absence.
Mouhamed Gueye could continue seeing starting minutes after posting 16 points, four three-pointers, 10 rebounds, and two assists in 26 minutes in his last start, though that line may prove difficult to repeat.
Zaccharie Risacher also remains a deeper-league option after scoring 17 points with three three-pointers in 23 minutes.
Jonathan Kuminga should continue seeing steady minutes, while Johnson remains worth holding, though fantasy playoff managers may want insurance just in case.

March 23, 2026
Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward
Quentin Grimes (illness) has been ruled out for Monday's contest against the Oklahoma City Thunder, Noah Levick of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports. Grimes was a late addition to the injury report due to illness and has been officially ruled out ahead of tip-off. Philadelphia also won't have its Big Three and
Kelly Oubre Jr. (elbow) out Monday, which puts the spotlight on players like
VJ Edgecombe,
Justin Edwards, and
Cameron Payne. All three should enjoy plenty of offensive usage, although this is a difficult matchup against the NBA's top-ranked defense.
--Taavi PailkSource: Noah Levick
March 23, 2026
San Antonio Spurs guard/forward
Devin Vassell (hamstring) is available for Monday's game against Miami after recently dealing with tightness. He has averaged 14.6 points, 2.6 three-pointers, 2.6 rebounds, and 2.8 assists across 33.1 minutes over his last five appearances, providing steady but capped fantasy value alongside
De'Aaron Fox and
Stephon Castle. Vassell remains a hold in standard leagues for his scoring and perimeter production, though his ceiling may fluctuate depending on usage distribution.
Dylan Harper could see fewer minutes with Vassell back, while
Keldon Johnson may shift back into a more limited reserve role.
--Brian DailisanSource: Paul Garcia
March 23, 2026
C.J. Holmes of the New York Daily News reports that Brooklyn Nets center
Nicolas Claxton (rest) is active for Monday's matchup against the Portland Trail Blazers. He is set to return after missing Sunday's 126-122 loss to the Sacramento Kings. However, the rebuilding Nets are beginning to manage the 26-year-old big man's workload, so fantasy managers should expect him to miss more time in the near future. Across his last six outings, Claxton has averaged 7.2 points and 6.7 rebounds in 21.2 minutes per contest.
