Cleveland Cavaliers forward/center
Evan Mobley (calf) is available for Monday's matchup with the Memphis Grizzlies. He returns after missing Sunday's game against Indiana. Fantasy managers should expect the 24-year-old big man to have a heavy workload tonight, as many of his Cavs teammates are slated to sit out. Mobley finished with 12 points, 10 rebounds, five assists, and one steal across 32 minutes in his last outing during Thursday's 117-111 win over Golden State.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard/forward
Sam Merrill (hamstring) is slated to suit up Monday against the Memphis Grizzlies. Merrill is set to take the floor after missing the first leg of a back-to-back on Sunday versus Indiana. Fantasy managers should expect the 29-year-old guard to see extended minutes and plenty of scoring opportunities tonight with star guards
James Harden (personal) and
Donovan Mitchell (ankle) out of action.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard
Donovan Mitchell (ankle) is unavailable for Monday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. Mitchell will have the final set of a back-to-back off for left ankle maintenance after posting 38 points, six rebounds, six assists and one steal across 33 minutes during Sunday's 117-108 win over Indiana. His next chance to suit up is on Wednesday against Atlanta.
James Harden (personal) is also sidelined, so
Dennis Schroder is set for a busy evening despite seeing a limited role most recently.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard
James Harden (personal) is unavailable for Monday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. Harden is set to sit out tonight due to personal reasons. The 38-year-old finished with 28 points, seven assists, four rebounds, three steals and one block during Sunday's 117-108 win over Indiana. His next chance to play comes on Wednesday against Atlanta.
Donovan Mitchell (ankle) will also have the evening off for left ankle maintenance, leaving the Cavs backcourt shorthanded. They will have to lean on
Dennis Schroder and Craig Porter to take on extra minutes. The two guards have seen limited roles recently, and that will continue once Mitchell and Harden return to action.

Portland Trail Blazers guard/forward
Vit Krejci (calf) has been ruled out for Monday's game in Denver and appears unlikely to return soon after being ruled out well in advance again. His absence carries little fantasy impact given his limited role, though
Kris Murray and
Matisse Thybulle could continue seeing stable bench minutes.
Scoot Henderson and
Deni Avdija should also maintain secure usage in the backcourt rotation. Krejci can be left on waiver wires in most formats, and even in deeper leagues, his role does not currently justify a roster spot.

April 6, 2026
Denver Nuggets guard
Bruce Brown (ankle) is probable for Monday's game against Portland after exiting early Saturday due to a minor left ankle tweak. He logged five points, two rebounds, one assist, and one steal in 11 minutes before exiting Saturday. In his previous game, he recorded 11 points, three rebounds, four steals, and one block in 27 minutes. Brown remains a fringe fantasy option given Denver's crowded wing rotation featuring
Christian Braun and
Cameron Johnson. His main appeal comes from defensive stats in deeper leagues, while
Jamal Murray continues to dominate backcourt usage.

April 6, 2026
Denver Nuggets forward
Spencer Jones (hamstring) will miss a third straight game Monday against Portland due to a strained right hamstring and could remain sidelined beyond that. His absence leaves
Julian Strawther in line for extra depth minutes, though he remains only a fringe fantasy option after posting six points, two three-pointers, and two assists in 11 minutes last game. Strawther's role remains limited behind
Nikola Jokic and
Jamal Murray, while
Christian Braun and
Cameron Johnson should continue handling stable wing minutes. Jones holds little fantasy value outside very deep formats.

April 6, 2026
Detroit Pistons forward/center
Isaiah Stewart (calf) will remain sidelined Monday against Orlando as he continues recovering from a left calf strain that has now cost him 13 games. His absence keeps
Paul Reed on the fantasy radar in deeper formats after he produced 10 points, seven rebounds, two steals, and one block in 18 minutes off the bench last game. Reed offers modest value for defensive stats and rebounds, while
Jalen Duren should continue seeing secure starter minutes. Stewart remains a low-priority hold in most formats.

April 6, 2026
Phoenix Suns forward
Dillon Brooks finished with 15 points, four rebounds, three assists, two steals, and one block in 33 minutes Sunday but could be suspended for Tuesday's game against Houston after picking up his 18th technical foul. With the regular season winding down, any missed game could impact fantasy playoff lineups.
Royce O'Neale and
Grayson Allen may see slight minute increases but remain modest fringe options.
Devin Booker and
Jalen Green could take on more scoring usage. Brooks should still be held in most competitive formats.

April 6, 2026
Dallas Mavericks center
Daniel Gafford (shoulder) will not return after suffering a right shoulder injury in Sunday's game against the Lakers and could miss additional time with another game scheduled Tuesday against the Clippers.
Marvin Bagley III becomes the top streaming candidate if Gafford sits after producing nine points, four rebounds, one steal, and one block in 22 minutes.
Dwight Powell looks like a modest deep-league option as the next man up at center, while
P.J. Washington could also pick up extra minutes in smaller lineups.

April 6, 2026
Los Angeles Lakers guard
Luka Doncic (hamstring) will seek specialized treatment in Europe for a Grade 2 left hamstring strain and remains out for the rest of the regular season, though the move is aimed at a possible postseason return. His absence keeps
LeBron James in a primary creator role after a 30-point, nine-rebound, 15-assist line in 39 minutes last game, making him an elite hold.
Rui Hachimura, who finished with 21 points and seven rebounds, and
Jake LaRavia, who added 14 points, five rebounds, and two steals, look like strong streaming options. Managers in deeper leagues can also monitor
Luke Kennard for extra minutes and three-point production.

April 5, 2026
Philadelphia 76ers guard
Cameron Payne (hamstring) has been diagnosed with a strained right hamstring and is expected to miss at least two weeks, likely sidelining him for the rest of the regular season. His absence could lead to more backup point guard minutes for
Quentin Grimes behind
Tyrese Maxey. Grimes has logged 10 points and four rebounds in 25 minutes against Minnesota and 12 points with two three-pointers in 23 minutes against Washington recently, though his fantasy upside remains modest with Maxey,
VJ Edgecombe, and
Paul George handling most of the offense.

April 5, 2026
Detroit Pistons guard/forward
Duncan Robinson (hip) is questionable for Monday's game against the Orlando Magic after logging 11 points, two rebounds, and two assists in 23 minutes Saturday. If he sits,
Kevin Huerter,
Caris LeVert, and
Ron Holland II could all see increased opportunities, with one likely moving into the starting lineup. Huerter posted five points, five rebounds, and six assists in 25 minutes in his last outing and could offer short-term value for assists and three-pointers. Holland's recent activity also puts him on the deep-league radar if Robinson is unavailable.
--Brian DailisanSource: NBA Injury Report
April 5, 2026
Portland Trail Blazers forward
Jerami Grant (calf) will remain sidelined for Monday's game against the Denver Nuggets due to a lingering calf strain. His continued absence should keep
Scoot Henderson in an elevated role with the starting group. Henderson has averaged 16.7 points, 2.0 three-pointers, and 4.0 assists in 24.6 minutes across his last three starts, making him a viable fantasy option for points and assists while Grant remains out.
Deni Avdija should continue to see a bit more offensive responsibility, while Grant's absence leaves Portland a little short on forward depth down the stretch.
--Brian DailisanSource: NBA Injury Report
April 5, 2026
Detroit Pistons forward
Tobias Harris (knee) is questionable for Monday's game against the Orlando Magic after playing through the issue in his last outing. With Detroit already locked into playoff positioning, the team could take a cautious approach with its veteran forward. If Harris sits,
Ron Holland II,
Javonte Green, and
Caris LeVert could see expanded roles. Holland finished with 11 points, six rebounds, one steal, and one block in 20 minutes in his last appearance, making him a possible deep-league streamer, while Green could enter the starting lineup if Harris is held out.
