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.

Los Angeles Lakers guard
Austin Reaves (calf) won't play against the New York Knicks on Sunday. Reaves has been questionable on the injury report a few times this week, but he still needs more time to recover from a left calf strain. The 27-year-old will miss his 19th consecutive game.
Marcus Smart and
Gabe Vincent will continue to enjoy extra usage in Reaves' absence. However, both players have been quiet in recent games and aren't strong fantasy options.

Houston Rockets forward
Kevin Durant (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's matchup against the Indiana Pacers. The veteran star has been added to the injury report with a left ankle sprain and will sit out only his third game of the season. Durant's absence will leave a large hole in the rotation, as he has averaged over 38 minutes per game across his last 10 appearances.
Reed Sheppard,
Josh Okogie, and
Dorian Finney-Smith could all see additional action in Monday's favorable fantasy matchup.

Phoenix Suns guard
Jalen Green (hamstring, hip) will miss Sunday's action against the Los Angeles Clippers. Green is managing a hamstring injury and also suffered a left hip contusion on Friday against Cleveland when he returned from a three-game absence. The Suns will also remain without
Devin Booker (ankle) on Sunday, giving
Grayson Allen,
Collin Gillespie, and
Jordan Goodwin an opportunity to see additional time on the court. The situation also benefits
Dillon Brooks, who has been Phoenix's offense leader lately. Brooks has averaged 29.8 points over the last four contests.

Los Angeles Clippers guard
James Harden (personal) won't play on Sunday against the Phoenix Suns. The former MVP will sit out the first leg of a back-to-back for personal reasons. With Harden out,
Kris Dunn and
Jordan Miller will get more work in the backcourt. The Clippers will also have
Bogdan Bogdanovic (hamstring) in the lineup for the first time since Dec. 26. At the same time, the offense will flow more through
Kawhi Leonard.

Utah Jazz guard
Keyonte George (ankle) won't play on Sunday against the Toronto Raptors, allowing
Isaiah Collier to make his seventh start of the season. George has been a bright spot for Utah this season, but unfortunately, he sprained his left ankle in Friday's loss to Brooklyn and will miss at least one game. As a starter, Collier has improved his productivity to 10.8 points and 7.0 assists per game this season.
Walter Clayton Jr. is also set to benefit from George's absence.

Utah Jazz center
Jusuf Nurkic (illness) will return to the lineup on Sunday against the Toronto Raptors. Utah initially listed Nurkic as probable after he sat out Friday's loss to Brooklyn due to illness. Nurkic was in and out of the Jazz lineup throughout January, as winning currently isn't a focus for the team. In three of his last four appearances, Nurkic has posted a triple-double. He averaged 16.0 points, 12.1 rebounds, 7.3 assists, and 1.5 steals last month.
Kevin Love (illness) is also active on Sunday, which will be a blow for
Kyle Filipowski's fantasy prospects.

Detroit Pistons point guard
Cade Cunningham (hip) will play on Sunday against the Brooklyn Nets. The team has listed him as available after initially giving Cunningham a probable tag on the injury report. Detroit's leader is dealing with right hip soreness, but he also played through the issue on Friday against Golden State and didn't let it affect him. Across 35 minutes of action, Cunningham produced 29 points and 11 assists against the Warriors in a high-scoring game, giving him three double-doubles in four outings.

Miami Heat point guard
Davion Mitchell (shoulder) will return to work on Sunday against the Chicago Bulls after missing six games. Miami has upgraded Mitchell from probable to available. Mitchell's return will primarily affect the playing time of
Kasparas Jakucionis and
Dru Smith. However, with
Tyler Herro (ribs),
Norman Powell (personal), and
Nikola Jovic (hip) all out, there will still be opportunities for Miami's second echelon to make an impact.

February 1, 2026
Chicago Bulls guard/forward
Kevin Huerter (back) won't suit up for Sunday's rematch with Miami. He got the start when these clubs met on Saturday, finishing with nine points, seven rebounds, and five assists. Unfortunately, Huerter will sit this one out due to back spasms. With
Coby White and
Nikola Vucevic back in the lineup, Huerter's statistical ceiling would have been much lower, so his absence isn't a big loss for fantasy managers.
--Dennis ClausenSource: NBA Injury Report
February 1, 2026
Miami Heat guard/forward
Norman Powell (personal) will miss a second consecutive game on Sunday against the Chicago Bulls. He has been ruled out for personal reasons after the team initially listed Powell as questionable. With Powell out,
Myron Gardner impressed against the Bulls on Saturday with a 12-point, 11-rebound double-double in his first career start. He could have a larger role again on Sunday, though
Davion Mitchell's (shoulder) return will have a significant impact on the rotation.
--Taavi PailkSource: NBA Injury Report
February 1, 2026
Chicago Bulls forward/center
Jalen Smith (calf) won't play on Sunday against Miami. It will be Smith's second-straight absence because of tightness in his right calf, so his next chance to suit up will be on Tuesday versus the Milwaukee Bucks. Fortunately,
Nikola Vucevic will return after getting the night off on Saturday to rest.
Ayo Dosunmu, who had 29 points, eight boards, and nine assists on Saturday evening, should see even more work, especially with
Josh Giddey (hamstring) and
Tre Jones (hamstring) also sidelined.

February 1, 2026
Sacramento Kings point guard
Russell Westbrook (foot) will miss a third straight game on Sunday against the Washington Wizards. He can't play against his former team due to a right foot contusion. The team initially listed Westbrook as questionable for the game. Fortunately for Sacramento,
Malik Monk (ankle) has been cleared to play, and he looks set to have a major role in the rotation.
Devin Carter and
Nique Clifford could also be more involved due to the lack of backcourt options on the team.

February 1, 2026
Sacramento Kings guard
Malik Monk (ankle) will suit up on Sunday against the Washington Wizards. An ankle issue initially put his availability for the game in doubt.
Russell Westbrook (foot) will miss a third consecutive game, and
Dennis Schroder has been traded to Cleveland along with
Keon Ellis, leaving a lot of backcourt minutes to fill. Monk is set to benefit from the situation on Sunday against one of the weakest defenses in the league.
--Taavi PailkSource: NBA Injury Report
February 1, 2026
Chicago Bulls guard
Josh Giddey (hamstring) won't play in Sunday's rematch with the Heat, marking his third-straight absence. The left hamstring injury isn't anything new, although fantasy managers are starting to get even more concerned at this point. Giddey's next chance to suit up will be on Tuesday versus Milwaukee. In the meantime,
Coby White,
Matas Buzelis,
Ayo Dosunmu, and
Nikola Vucevic should see even more scoring opportunities, especially with
Kevin Huerter (back),
Tre Jones (hamstring), and
Jalen Smith (calf) also on the shelf.
