Charlotte Hornets guard/forward
Kon Knueppel (back) is considered probable for Tuesday's matchup with the Sacramento Kings. The 20-year-old rookie is dealing with a lower back issue, but it doesn't seem to be very serious. Knueppel has sat out just one game during his first NBA season, averaging 19.1 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 3.4 assists. He will look to rebound from a poor performance on Tuesday, having tallied only nine points on 3-for-9 shooting in Saturday's win over Memphis.

Sacramento Kings guard/forward
Nique Clifford (foot) will be re-evaluated in one week, Kevin John of ABC10 reports. He has been diagnosed with a mild midfoot sprain. Clifford will exit the lineup on Tuesday against the Charlotte Hornets, leaving the Kings without yet another starter. With him unavailable,
Malik Monk and
Devin Carter are poised for bigger roles in the backcourt.
Daeqwon Plowden (foot) will also help cover for Clifford's absence. He is expected to return to the lineup after being handed a probable tag on the injury report.

Golden State Warriors guard/forward
Moses Moody suffered a non-contact left knee injury in Monday's 137-131 overtime win against the Dallas Mavericks. He needed to be stretchered off the floor after being hurt with 1:13 left in overtime. This was Moody's first appearance in three weeks, having recovered from a wrist injury. The 23-year-old scored a team-high 23 points and had three rebounds, three assists, three steals, and two blocks. Moody is scheduled to undergo an MRI on Tuesday. Unfortunately, it looks like his season is over. If that's the case, the Warriors are likely to bring
Gui Santos back into the first unit.
Gary Payton II and
Will Richard are also candidates for larger roles.

The Milwaukee Bucks waived guard
Cam Thomas on Monday night, marking the second time this season that the 24-year-old has been cut by a team. On Feb. 5, Thomas was waived by the Brooklyn Nets, who drafted him in the first round in 2021. After the Bucks picked him up, Thomas started his career in Milwaukee with a bang, scoring 34 points in his second game with the team. However, he failed to establish a consistent role on the team and is now seeking another employer. Thomas will become an unrestricted free agent once he clears waivers. By waiving Thomas, Milwaukee was able to convert forward
Pete Nance's contract from a two-way deal to a standard NBA contract.

Milwaukee Bucks forward
Kyle Kuzma (Achilles) won't be in the lineup on Monday night against the Los Angeles Clippers. The former Laker has been ruled out for the contest after carrying a questionable tag on the initial injury report. However, Kuzma's absence isn't unexpected, as he had to leave Saturday's win over Phoenix early due to soreness in his right Achilles. With Kuzma out,
Pete Nance and
Jericho Sims are likely to receive more work in the frontcourt.

Los Angeles Clippers forward/center
John Collins (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's matchup with the Milwaukee Bucks. This is a bit surprising, as the team listed Collins as probable on the initial injury report.
Kris Dunn or
Jordan Miller will replace Collins in the first unit, while
Nicolas Batum may also be more involved in the rotation. The Clippers have a great matchup on Monday against a struggling team that can't defend.

March 23, 2026
Los Angeles Clippers forward
Kawhi Leonard (ankle) will play on Monday against the Milwaukee Bucks. The team has upgraded him from questionable to available. Leonard has recently been in and out of the lineup due to a left ankle sprain, but he will make a second consecutive appearance on Monday. The veteran star has been a beast offensively in his last five appearances, averaging 32.6 points in 31.1 minutes per game. The Bucks are one of the worst defensive teams in the league, so Leonard's scoring spree should continue on Monday night.

March 23, 2026
Dallas Mavericks forward
Caleb Martin (heel) and guard
Brandon Williams (concussion) won't play on Monday against the Golden State Warriors. Martin has been ruled out after being listed as questionable on the initial injury report, while the team has downgraded Williams from doubtful to out. Dallas will be without both players for the third consecutive game. Overall, Martin will miss his fourth straight contest. With the duo missing from the rotation,
Ryan Nembhard,
Klay Thompson, and
Khris Middleton have an opportunity to play larger roles off the bench.

Toronto Raptors guard/forward
Brandon Ingram (heel) was a late scratch for Monday's contest against the Utah Jazz, Sportsnet's Michael Grange reports. The two-time All-Star is dealing with right heel inflammation. Ingram wasn't on the injury report and was announced as a starter before the team made a late change, promoting
Ja'Kobe Walter to the first unit. Ingram's first chance to return will be on Wednesday night against the Los Angeles Clippers.

Golden State Warriors guard/forward
Moses Moody (wrist) and guard
De'Anthony Melton (hand) have been cleared to play on Monday against the Dallas Mavericks. Moody has missed 10 games due to a wrist sprain and was initially listed as questionable on the injury report. Meanwhile, the team has upgraded Melton's status from probable to available. The two will start the contest alongside
Brandin Podziemski,
Draymond Green, and
Kristaps Porzingis.
Gui Santos is dropping to the second unit, while Moody's return will also impact
Will Richard's playing time.

March 23, 2026
Golden State Warriors forward/center
Kristaps Porzingis (back) will play on Monday night against the Dallas Mavericks. The team initially listed Porzingis as probable for the game after he sat out Saturday's loss to Atlanta with a back issue. Porzingis has made seven appearances since joining the Warriors, posting averages of 14.9 points, 3.9 rebounds, 2.3 assists, and 2.0 blocks in 20.3 minutes per game. With
Al Horford (calf) and
Quinten Post (foot) in street clothes on Monday, Porzingis will have a crucial role to play in the Warriors' frontcourt. He will make his fourth start with the team.

March 23, 2026
Utah Jazz guard/forward
Cody Williams (shoulder) won't suit up on Monday night against the Toronto Raptors. He has been ruled out after Utah initially listed Williams as doubtful. The 21-year-old has been one of the offensive leaders for the Jazz recently, averaging 14.1 points, 4.4 rebounds, and 4.0 assists per game as a starter. With Williams out, Utah is promoting
John Konchar to the starting lineup, giving him extra fantasy value.
--Taavi PailkSource: NBA Injury Report
March 23, 2026
Toronto Raptors point guard
Jamal Shead will move into the starting unit on Monday against the Utah Jazz, with
Immanuel Quickley (foot) sidelined. The 27-year-old has made seven starts this season, averaging 12.9 points, 2.6 rebounds, 7.6 assists, and 1.1 steals. Shead definitely has the potential to reach the same numbers again on Monday night against the Jazz, who have been helpless against point guards all season -- no team has allowed more fantasy points to the position than them.

March 23, 2026
Toronto Raptors forward/center
Collin Murray-Boyles (thumb) will end an 11-game absence on Monday against the Utah Jazz. The rookie big man has been sidelined for nearly a month due to a left thumb sprain. With
Jakob Poeltl (back) unavailable, the Raptors are starting
Sandro Mamukelashvili at center, but Murray-Boyles should also get plenty of action in a juicy matchup. The 20-year-old has averaged 7.8 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 2.0 assists in 22.3 minutes per game during his first campaign in the Association.

March 23, 2026
Brooklyn Nets shooting guard
Drake Powell (knee) is unavailable to suit up against the Portland Trail Blazers on Monday, per C.J. Holmes of the New York Daily News. The 20-year-old rookie is set to sit out the last leg of a back-to-back due to left knee injury management after he logged eight points, three assists and three rebounds in 28 minutes during Sunday's loss to Sacramento. With Powell sidelined and a depleted Nets' rotation,
Jalen Wilson,
Ochai Agbaji and
Malachi Smith are expected to take on heavier workloads against the Blazers.
