Denver Nuggets point guard
Jamal Murray (hip, hamstring) will play on Sunday against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Murray has been a regular on the injury report with various health issues this season, but he rarely misses time. Following
Nikola Jokic's return to the lineup on Friday night against the Los Angeles Clippers, Murray took a secondary role on offense, yet he still had a good outing. In 36 minutes, Murray scored an efficient 20 points and had nine assists with four rebounds and one steal. While the opposition will be tougher, it wouldn't be surprising to see Murray put up similar numbers on Sunday.

Denver Nuggets center
Nikola Jokic (knee) is ready to face
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and the Oklahoma City Thunder on Sunday night. Denver has upgraded Jokic's status from probable to available. This will be Jokic's second game since returning from a knee injury. The three-time MVP was limited to 25 minutes against the Los Angeles Clippers on Friday, but he still did a lot of damage. Jokic finished the game with 31 points, 12 rebounds, five assists, and three steals.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard
Craig Porter Jr. (knee) has been upgraded from questionable to available for Sunday night's action against the Portland Trail Blazers. He missed Friday's loss to the Phoenix Suns due to a sore left knee.
Lonzo Ball had a larger workload on Friday and will likely see less action against the Suns. Porter Jr. doesn't have a lot to offer to fantasy teams, averaging 4.9 points, 3.5 rebounds, and 3.0 assists in 17.6 minutes per game this season.

San Antonio Spurs forward
Harrison Barnes will be back in the first unit on Sunday against the Orlando Magic. After starting all 47 games this season, Barnes dropped to the bench on Saturday against the Charlotte Hornets, giving up his spot to
Devin Vassell. On Sunday, the Spurs will be without
Stephon Castle (adductor), allowing both Barnes and Vassell to start. Barnes had 11 points in Saturday's loss to the Hornets, but he struggled throughout January and isn't a great fantasy option at the moment.

San Antonio Spurs forward/center
Victor Wembanyama (calf) will play on Sunday against the Orlando Magic, Michael C. Wright of ESPN.com reports. Despite dealing with a sore left calf, Wembanyama has shaken off a questionable tag. The French star will look to produce a bounce-back performance following a quiet outing in Saturday's loss to Charlotte. Across 31 minutes, Wembanyama managed only 16 points, eight rebounds, one assist, and one steal. After swatting away nine shots over his previous two outings, Wembanyama didn't register a single block against the Hornets.

Portland Trail Blazers guard
Blake Wesley (foot) will be in the lineup on Sunday against the Cleveland Cavaliers. He has been out of action since undergoing right foot surgery in early November. Before landing on the shelf, Wesley contributed 6.0 points, 2.3 rebounds, 3.2 assists, and 1.7 steals across 16.3 minutes per game. He will look to re-establish himself in the rotation, though fantasy managers shouldn't expect an immediate impact from Wesley.

Portland Trail Blazers center
Robert Williams III (knee) has been cleared to face the Cleveland Cavaliers on Sunday night. Lately, Williams III has played in every other game, but he will make a second consecutive appearance on Sunday. In Friday's heavy loss to the New York Knicks, Williams III notched four points, 11 rebounds, three assists, three blocks, and two steals in 20 minutes. He will have a similar workload on Sunday behind starting center
Donovan Clingan.

Los Angeles Clippers guard/forward
Kobe Sanders will join the starting five for Sunday's tilt against the Phoenix Suns. The Clippers needed to switch things up, with
James Harden (personal) out of the lineup. Sanders has made eight starts during his rookie campaign, averaging 11.8 points, 2.5 rebounds, and 1.3 assists. While he has been fairly mediocre in a starting role, Sanders' efforts in the first unit include a 20-point performance against the Golden State Warriors a month ago.

San Antonio Spurs guard
Stephon Castle (adductor) won't take the court for the second game of a back-to-back on Sunday night against the Orlando Magic, ESPN's Michael C. Wright reports. This was expected after the team initially listed Castle as questionable for the game. With Castle out,
Dylan Harper could receive a nice chunk of extra playing time against the Magic, who have had trouble containing guards this season. After a quiet spell, Harper has tallied 36 points across the last two games and was his team's top scorer in Saturday's loss to Charlotte.

Charlotte Hornets guard/forward
Josh Green (thumb) is listed as probable for Monday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. He is expected to play despite nursing a right thumb sprain. Green has made little impact in Charlotte this season, averaging 4.3 points, 2.0 rebounds, and 1.1 assists in 15.9 minutes per game. He has finished two of his last three appearances scoreless and hasn't contributed anything defensively during this stretch either.

Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward
John Konchar (neck) will sit out a second straight game on Monday against the Minnesota Timberwolves. The 25-year-old is dealing with an anterior triangle contusion. Recently, Konchar has held a significant role in the rotation, logging 20-plus minutes in each of his last five appearances. Konchar's absence creates playing opportunities for
Olivier-Maxence Prosper and
Javon Small, but neither has demonstrated enough quality to be viable fantasy options.

Memphis Grizzlies forward/center
Santi Aldama (knee) won't play on Monday against the Minnesota Timberwolves, missing a fourth consecutive game. The Spanish big man is managing a right knee injury. Memphis also didn't have
Jaren Jackson Jr. (quadriceps) on Saturday against Minnesota, leaving the frontcourt short of bodies.
Jock Landale has made four consecutive starts at center, while
GG Jackson II's minutes have been on the rise recently. On Saturday, Jackson II was among Memphis' best performers with 19 points, four rebounds, and five assists.

February 1, 2026
Memphis Grizzlies forward/center
Jaren Jackson Jr. (quadriceps) is listed as questionable for Monday's rematch against the Minnesota Timberwolves. He missed Saturday's clash against Minnesota due to a left quadriceps contusion and may remain out on Monday night. Jackson Jr.'s absence on Saturday allowed
Ty Jerome to make his season debut as a starter. He did a great job in 20 minutes, scoring a team-high 20 points and dishing out six assists.
GG Jackson II also benefited from extra playing time, going for 19 points, four rebounds, and five assists in 28 minutes off the bench.

February 1, 2026
Minnesota Timberwolves power forward
Julius Randle (thumb) may be sidelined for the first time in 2025-26 on Monday against the Memphis Grizzlies, as the team has listed him as questionable on the injury report. Randle stood out with 27 points, seven rebounds, and seven assists in Saturday's win over the Grizzlies, but he also appears to have hurt his left thumb. While the injury doesn't appear to be serious, Randle is a left-handed shooter, and he might feel too uncomfortable to play.
Anthony Edwards (back) is also listed as questionable for Monday, so Minnesota's offense could have a very different look. Meanwhile,
Jaylen Clarke and
Naz Reid are candidates for more playing time if Randle misses the action.

Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward
Anthony Edwards (back) has been listed as questionable for Monday's tilt against the Memphis Grizzlies. The four-time All-Star is battling back spasms and may exit the lineup for the fourth time in 2026.
Mike Conley is likely to get a starting role if Edwards can't play, though the veteran floor general is on his last legs and hasn't been productive this season.
Bones Hyland and
Jaylen Clark will also be in a position to see more playing time.
