Terance Mann Out Monday
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.

Precious Achiuwa Could Sit Tuesday
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.

Andrew Wiggins Cleared to Return Monday
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.

Nique Clifford Out Tuesday Against Hornets
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.

Noah Clowney Ruled Out for Monday
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.

Norman Powell Returns to Action Monday
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.

Russell Westbrook to Miss Second Straight Game
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.

Dominick Barlow Good to Go Against Thunder
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).

Jalen Johnson Remains Out Monday
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.

Quentin Grimes Won't Play Monday
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.

Devin Vassell Cleared to Play Monday
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.

Nicolas Claxton Set to Suit Up Against Portland
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.

Robert Williams III Sidelined on Monday
Portland Trail Blazers center Robert Williams III (knee) won't play on Monday against the Brooklyn Nets. As usual, the injury-prone big man will sit out the second leg of a back-to-back after collecting 16 points, five rebounds and one assist across 19 minutes during Sunday's loss to Denver. He should be back in action on Wednesday against Milwaukee. Donovan Clingan will continue to start against Brooklyn, while Yang Hansen could serve as his backup. Hansen was just called up from the G League's Rip City Remix on Monday.

Vit Krejci Unavailable Against Nets
Portland Trail Blazers guard/forward Vit Krejci (calf) is out for Monday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. Krejci is set to miss his fifth straight contest due to a bruised left calf. His next chance to return is on Wednesday against Milwaukee. While the 25-year-old is out of action, Scoot Henderson and Matisse Thybulle will continue to see extended minutes. Henderson could be viewed as a short-term streaming option, as the 22-year-old has averaged 14.0 points, 3.6 assists, 2.8 rebounds and 1.9 threes across nine outings since the All-Star break.

Jerami Grant Ruled Out on Monday
Portland Trail Blazers forward Jerami Grant (foot) is unavailable for Monday's matchup against the Brooklyn Nets. Grant is set to miss his second consecutive contest due to left foot soreness. His next chance to return to the floor is on Wednesday against the Bucks. While Grant is out of action, Matisse Thybulle and Kris Murray will likely take on extra playing time, while Sidy Cissoko should start for the second game in a row this evening. In his last appearance, the 21-year-old French forward logged seven points, two rebounds and one assist across 19 minutes in Sunday's 128-112 loss to the Nuggets.
