Malik Monk Won't Play Against Nets
Sacramento Kings guard Malik Monk (shoulder) will sit out Sunday's matchup with the Brooklyn Nets. He will exit the lineup due to a shoulder contusion after having 10 points and seven assists in 27 minutes on Saturday against Atlanta. Sacramento will also roll without DeMar DeRozan (hamstring), creating two openings in the starting lineup. Nique Clifford and Daeqwon Plowden are the leading candidates to join the first unit. Monk's absence should also give Devin Carter and DaQuan Jeffries more playing time.

DeMar DeRozan Sits Out Sunday's Game
Sacramento Kings guard/forward DeMar DeRozan will miss the second leg of a back-to-back on Sunday against the Brooklyn Nets. The veteran star has been listed as out with a sore right hamstring. Nique Clifford and Daeqwon Plowden will benefit from DeRozan's absence, and the team may bring Doug McDermott back into the rotation as well. Malik Monk (shoulder) has also been ruled out, so there will be at least two changes to the starting lineup compared to Saturday's loss to Atlanta.

Brandon Ingram Available Against Magic
Toronto Raptors guard/forward Brandon Ingram (heel) will play on Sunday against the Orlando Magic, Sportsnet's Michael Grange reports. He has recently been dealing with inflammation in his right heel, but Ingram is ready to make his third consecutive appearance. Following back-to-back 30-point efforts in mid-March, Ingram has been quiet in his most recent outings. The two-time All-Star has tallied 14.8 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 2.6 assists per game over his last five appearances.

Neemias Queta Cleared to Play Sunday
Boston Celtics center Neemias Queta (thumb) will play on Sunday against the Charlotte Hornets. The Portuguese big man has received official clearance to play after being listed as questionable on the initial injury report. The team upgraded Queta's status to probable earlier in the day. Since the Hornets limited him to two points and two rebounds on March 4, Queta has averaged 9.1 points, 8.8 rebounds, and 2.1 assists per game.

Derrick White Won't Play Sunday
Boston Celtics guard Derrick White (knee) won't play on Sunday against the Charlotte Hornets. The team has ruled him out after initially listing him as questionable for the game. Boston will also be without Jaylen Brown (Achilles) on Sunday, so Jayson Tatum and Payton Pritchard should receive heavy usage on the offensive end. Meanwhile, players like Baylor Scheierman and Hugo Gonzalez are set to log more minutes.

Isaiah Jackson is Ruled Out for Sunday
Los Angeles Clippers center Isaiah Jackson (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. Jackson was forced to make an early exit from Friday's game due to a right ankle injury. It appears to be significant enough to hold him out of Sunday's contest. The absence of Jackson means that John Collins or possibly Nicolas Batum will get extra minutes whenever Brook Lopez is off the court. Collins should see more playing time on Sunday, which will make him a more appealing streaming option for this game.

Bobby Portis to Miss Third Straight Game
Milwaukee Bucks center Bobby Portis (wrist) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. Portis will miss his third game in a row due to a lingering wrist injury. He'll miss both legs of the back-to-back set with his next chance to play coming on Tuesday versus the Dallas Mavericks. His absence should mean Jericho Sims, Pete Nance, and Ousmane Dieng should all be asked to play bigger roles during Sunday's game. Sims is coming off a double-double performance on Saturday and is deserving of a look as a streaming option for Sunday's slate.

Ryan Rollins is Absent on Sunday
Milwaukee Bucks guard Ryan Rollins (hip) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. Rollins struggled on Saturday and will now sit out the second leg of this back-to-back set due to left hip soreness. The absence of Rollins should mean increased roles for Andre Jackson Jr. and AJ Green. Between the two, Green is the better streaming option for Sunday's slate due to his ability to shoot from beyond the arc. Fantasy managers should consider Rollins as day-to-day for now.

Kyle Kuzma Remains Out on Sunday
Milwaukee Bucks forward Kyle Kuzma (Achilles) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. Kuzma is set to miss his fourth straight game due to right Achilles tendinopathy. They've already been eliminated from playoff contention, so the Bucks have little incentive to play anyone at less than 100 percent. Pete Nance should remain in the starting five for as long as Kuzma is sidelined. He finished with five points, five rebounds, and three assists across 30 minutes on Saturday. There's some low-end streaming value here for fantasy managers looking for a DFS option.

Myles Turner Gets Downgraded to Out
Milwaukee Bucks center Myles Turner (knee) has been downgraded to out ahead of Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. Turner won't be able to shed the questionable tag and will sit out the second leg of this back-to-back set. Fantasy managers should consider Turner as questionable ahead of Tuesday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. Jericho Sims and Pete Nance should be asked to play big roles on Sunday. Sims is coming off a double-double on Saturday and is well worth a look as a DFS option with the Bucks shorthanded for this game.

Jayson Tatum is Upgraded to Available
Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum (Achilles) has been upgraded to available ahead of Sunday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. Tatum came into this game as questionable for injury management purposes. They've decided to start Tatum and give Jaylen Brown (Achilles) the night off. This is the front end of a back-to-back set, so Tatum could rest on Monday with Brown returning to the mix against the Atlanta Hawks. For now, fantasy managers can go ahead and get Tatum active in their lineups. Tatum will likely be asked to carry the load offensively with Brown unavailable.

Jaylen Brown to Miss Second Straight Game
Boston Celtics guard/forward Jaylen Brown (Achilles) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. Brown will miss his second game in a row due to left Achilles tendinitis. This is the front end of a back-to-back set, so we'll see if Brown is available against the Atlanta Hawks on Monday. The absence of Brown should mean that Baylor Scheierman should stick in the starting five. The rookie guard finished with three points, six rebounds, and two assists across 28 minutes of action on Friday. Hugo Gonzalez and Jordan Walsh could also see increased roles on Sunday. None of these players are great streaming options ahead of Sunday's contest. Payton Pritchard is the best DFS option outside of Jayson Tatum for the Celtics on Sunday.

Dejounte Murray Uncertain for Sunday
New Orleans Pelicans guard Dejounte Murray (hand) has been tagged as questionable ahead of Sunday's meeting with the Houston Rockets. Murray was unavailable on Friday against Toronto when the Pelicans wrapped up a back-to-back and might now miss another game. He has a left-hand contusion. Trey Murphy III (ankle) is also questionable for Sunday night, so Jeremiah Fears and Yves Missi may remain part of the first unit. As a result of Murray's departure from the lineup, there was also a Jordan Poole sighting in Friday's game. After a 12-point, six-assist effort, Poole might have earned an opportunity to be part of the rotation again on Sunday.

Jerami Grant Won't Play Against Wizards
Portland Trail Blazers forward Jerami Grant (calf) won't play on Sunday against the Washington Wizards. He injured his right calf in Friday's loss to Dallas and might be out for several games. Sidy Cissoko could rejoin the starting lineup on Sunday, while Matisse Thybulle and Kris Murray are also candidates for increased roles. Still, even as a starter, Cissoko hasn't been productive enough to make a difference in fantasy leagues, averaging 7.3 points, 3.0 rebounds, and 1.4 assists in the first unit this season.

Pascal Siakam Iffy for Sunday
Indiana Pacers forward Pascal Siakam (knee) is questionable for Sunday's tilt against the Miami Heat. After appearing in four consecutive games, Siakam might take Sunday off to manage his right knee injury. Center Jay Huff is the only starter not listed as questionable for Sunday's game, meaning we could again see a lot of Kobe Brown, Jalen Slawson, and Quenton Jackson. Slawson is a compelling player capable of influencing all parts of the game if given enough minutes.
