Minnesota Timberwolves center
Rudy Gobert (hip) does not carry an injury designation into Tuesday's game against the Utah Jazz. Gobert sat out Saturday's game due to a bruised left hip, but he is cleared to play now. The Wolves are glad Gobert only missed one game as they can't afford to have him sidelined for a lengthy amount of time. This season, Gobert is averaging 11.0 points, 11.4 rebounds, and 1.7 blocks in 31.7 minutes per game. Fellow big man
Naz Reid (shoulder) is questionable for Tuesday's game. Gobert could absorb some extra minutes if Reid is unable to play in that one.

Denver Nuggets guard
Christian Braun (ankle) is ruled out ahead of Tuesday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. This will mark the sixth straight game that Braun has missed due to an ankle injury. He continues to be limited to non-contact work, so he could be sidelined for a while longer. The Nuggets are banged up right now, so Braun's absence will probably be filled with a committee approach.
Bruce Brown,
Jalen Pickett, and
Spencer Jones should all continue seeing increased work in the rotation. Pickett is the best streaming choice among the three guards right now. Jones and Brown should be viewed as more of deep league options.

Detroit Pistons forward
Ron Holland II (illness) is available to suit up ahead of Monday's game against the Boston Celtics. Holland was a late addition to the injury report, but will ultimately play through his illness. He has been playing a bigger role in the rotation lately. Holland is averaging 8.6 points, 6.2 rebounds, and 1.2 assists in 21.4 minutes per game in 10 games this month. The first-rounder figures to continue playing a significant role in the rotation. His extra playing time hasn't resulted in excellent fantasy value, but he's still worth a look in deep leagues.

Philadelphia 76ers center
Joel Embiid (knee) will play on Monday against the Indiana Pacers. The team has upgraded his status on the injury report from questionable to available, and he is listed to start ahead of tonight's matchup. Embiid last faced the Pacers on Dec. 12, posting 39 points, nine rebounds, three assists, and one steal in 32 minutes. Fantasy managers should expect the 31-year-old star big man to have another strong outing this evening, as he's averaged 26.0 points across his last five games.

Brooklyn Nets center
Day'Ron Sharpe (illness) is unavailable for Monday's game against the Phoenix Suns. The 24-year-old big man is feeling under the weather and has a throat contusion. During his last appearance on Sunday, Sharpe finished with five points, five rebounds, and four assists across 19 minutes in a 124-102 loss to the Bulls. When Sharpe is available, he doesn't offer much fantasy value, averaging 17.9 minutes per contest.

Phoenix Suns guard
Jalen Green (hamstring) will make his return to the court for Tuesday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers, according to Duane Rankin. Green will miss the first leg of the back-to-back set, but is expected to suit up for the second contest. Green hasn't played since November 8 due to a right hamstring strain. The expectation is that Green is going to be limited for a few games until he gets back to full speed. His return to the court should shift
Collin Gillespie back to the bench, while
Grayson Allen and
Jordan Goodwin see fewer minutes. Fantasy managers who have been stashing Green for the last few months will finally be able to get him back in their lineups on Tuesday.

Golden State Warriors forward/center
Draymond Green (ankle) has been downgraded to out ahead of Monday's game against the Miami Heat. Green was originally probable, but got downgraded to questionable later in the day. Now, Green will officially sit this game out due to a right ankle sprain. The Warriors will likely use a committee approach to fill the void in the rotation.
Quinten Post,
Trayce Jackson-Davis, and
Al Horford are all candidates to see extended playing time. Among the trio, Horford has been the most consistent contributor among the big men. Horford is worth a look as a streaming option for Monday's slate with Green on the bench.

Brooklyn Nets point guard
Egor Demin (foot) is unavailable for Monday's matchup with the Phoenix Suns. He will miss the second half of a back-to-back for maintenance due to left foot plantar fasciitis, after he played in three straight games. On Sunday versus Chicago, the 19-year-old posted 11 points, one assist and one rebound across 22 minutes. While Demin is out of action, 26-year-old guard
Tyrese Martin could be assigned extra minutes, but will likely not factor into fantasy during tonight's tilt.

January 19, 2026
Phoenix Suns guard
Devin Booker (ankle) is available to play ahead of Monday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. Booker will shed the questionable tag despite dealing with ankle soreness. On Saturday, the 29-year-old star guard finished with 27 points, four assists, four rebounds and one steal across 38 minutes in a 106-99 win over the Knicks. Even with the injury, Booker should log plenty of minutes and continue to be a force for fantasy managers during tonight's tilt in Brooklyn.

Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward
Paul George (knee) is unavailable for Monday's matchup with the Indiana Pacers. George will sit out tonight's contest due to left knee injury management after he had played in three consecutive games. He is averaging 15.9 points, 5.3 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 1.3 steals across 29.8 minutes per game across 23 outings this campaign. With George out of action, more scoring opportunities will likely come to
Quentin Grimes and Kelly Oubre as they will have heavier workloads in the Sixers frontcourt this evening.

Golden State Warriors forward/center
Draymond Green (ankle) has been downgraded to questionable ahead of Monday's matchup with the Miami Heat. The 35-year-old veteran has played in eight of nine Warriors games in January, but with his status downgraded to questionable, he is in danger of missing tonight's tilt. If Green is unable to suit up, Golden State's frontcourt will have to rely on
Quinten Post,
Al Horford, and
Trayce Jackson-Davis to take on extra minutes.

January 19, 2026
Golden State Warriors guard
De'Anthony Melton (knee) will sit out the front end of the team's back-to-back set, with his next opportunity to play coming Tuesday against Toronto. His absence nudges minutes and usage across a crowded wing rotation.
Brandin Podziemski stands to benefit most after producing 16 points, six rebounds, and seven assists in 30 minutes on Friday, while
Buddy Hield,
Gary Payton II, and
Will Richard should also see added run. The rotation remains fluid, keeping all three as situational fantasy options.

January 19, 2026
Atlanta Hawks forward
Zaccharie Risacher (knee) has been ruled out for Monday's game against Milwaukee as he continues to recover from a bruised left knee. His ongoing absence keeps
Vit Krejci in the starting lineup, though the fantasy return has been modest. Krejci has averaged 5.4 points, 1.8 rebounds, and 1.2 assists across his last five starts while logging 21.9 minutes per game. The minutes are stable, but the low usage and limited peripheral stats cap him as a deep-league option until Risacher is cleared.

Dallas Mavericks center
Daniel Gafford (ankle) will sit out Monday against New York, extending his absence to three games as he continues to work through a right ankle sprain, with Thursday against Golden State next on the schedule. Dallas remains thin up front with
Anthony Davis (finger) and
P.J. Washington (personal) sidelined.
Dwight Powell logged 10 points and eight rebounds in 27 minutes Friday, while
Moussa Cisse posted 10 points and 13 rebounds in 23 minutes earlier this week. Both remain deep-league options with volatile roles.

January 19, 2026
Dallas Mavericks forward/center
P.J. Washington (personal) has been ruled out for Monday's matchup against New York and will miss a second straight game while addressing a personal matter, with Thursday against Golden State next on the schedule. His continued absence leaves
Naji Marshall with increased playing time, and the versatile wing logged 16 points, five rebounds, and six assists in 29 minutes Saturday. Marshall's consistent minutes and multi-category contributions give him short-term fantasy relevance while Washington remains sidelined.
