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.

Stephon Castle Iffy for Monday
San Antonio Spurs guard Stephon Castle (hip) is questionable for Monday's game against Miami after missing the last two contests due to soreness. If the rookie guard remains out, Dylan Harper could continue seeing expanded minutes after delivering 24 points, one three-pointer, four rebounds, and three assists in 28 minutes during his last start. Harper could be worth a short-term stream for points and guard stats if Castle sits. With Devin Vassell (hamstring) also questionable, Harper may have a clearer path to steady minutes next to De'Aaron Fox in the backcourt.

Bennedict Mathurin Remains Out Monday
Los Angeles Clippers guard/forward Bennedict Mathurin (toe) will remain out for Monday's game against Milwaukee, extending his absence to four straight contests. His continued absence has opened steady rotation minutes on the wing. Kris Dunn logged five assists, two steals, and two blocks in 32 minutes off the bench in his last outing and remains a defensive streaming option in deeper formats. Jordan Miller also chipped in 10 points in 22 minutes and could continue seeing reserve minutes. Mathurin should still be viewed as questionable for Wednesday against Toronto.

Isaiah Collier Still Sidelined Monday
Utah Jazz guard Isaiah Collier (hamstring) will miss another game Monday against Toronto, marking his third straight absence due to injury management. With Keyonte George (hamstring) also sidelined, Utah has leaned heavily on Kennedy Chandler and Bez Mbeng to handle point guard duties. Mbeng logged 13 points, six rebounds, and seven assists in 45 minutes in his last start, while Chandler added 19 points, five rebounds, and four assists in 37 minutes off the bench. Both guards are worth a look in deeper leagues while Collier remains out.

Kyle Kuzma Iffy for Monday Vs. Clippers
Milwaukee Bucks forward Kyle Kuzma (Achilles) is questionable for Monday's game against the Clippers after exiting Saturday's win over Phoenix with soreness. His absence would likely open more minutes in the frontcourt rotation. Ousmane Dieng could remain in a sizable role after posting 11 points, one three-pointer, two rebounds, two assists, and one steal in 33 minutes as a starter. Bobby Portis, now off the injury report, is also positioned for a larger workload and offers streaming appeal after recording 11 points, six rebounds, and two steals in 24 minutes in a recent game.

Pascal Siakam May Miss Monday's Game Vs. Orlando
Indiana Pacers forward/center Pascal Siakam (knee) is questionable for Monday's game against Orlando after returning Saturday from a six-game absence and logging 14 points, five assists, two rebounds, and one steal in 29 minutes. Managers should monitor his status closely after the quick turnaround. Jarace Walker would remain the main beneficiary if Siakam sits after producing 21 points, five three-pointers, four rebounds, and four assists in 35 minutes in his last start. Kobe Brown could pick up a few extra minutes and is on the radar in deeper leagues, while Jalen Slawson is still a risky play since he's on a two-way deal and not guaranteed a steady role.

John Collins Expected to be Available Monday Vs. Bucks
Los Angeles Clippers forward/center John Collins (ankle) is listed as probable for Monday's game against Milwaukee and is expected to play through a minor sprain. Collins logged eight points, one three-pointer, three rebounds, one steal, and two blocks in 29 minutes during his last start against Dallas, showing modest production despite a steady run. His fantasy outlook could improve if Kawhi Leonard (ankle) sits, which would open more usage and scoring chances. Collins remains a situational hold in standard leagues. Jordan Miller and Derrick Jones Jr. could also see slight bumps in minutes depending on Leonard's status.

Tristan Vukcevic Exits Early With Back Tightness
Washington Wizards forward/center Tristan Vukcevic (back) did not return to Sunday's game against the New York Knicks after experiencing lower-back tightness. The 23-year-old started in place of Alexandre Sarr (toe) but played just 15 minutes, finishing with 13 points, one rebound, one assist, and three three-pointers. His status for Wednesday in Utah is uncertain. If he misses time, Anthony Gill could see deeper rotation minutes after posting 18 points, five rebounds, and three steals in 26 minutes.

Bobby Portis is Cleared for Monday's Game
Milwaukee Bucks forward Bobby Portis (rib) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Monday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. Portis is back in the mix after being scratched ahead of Saturday's game due to a left rib issue. Luckily, this doesn't appear to be a long-term issue with Portis already cleared to play again. Over the last five games, Portis is averaging 18.4 points, 7.2 rebounds, and 2.0 assists across 27.4 minutes per game. Portis plays a significant role in this rotation and should be rostered and started in most fantasy formats.

Kawhi Leonard Holds Questionable Tag for Monday
Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (ankle) is currently considered questionable ahead of Monday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. It shouldn't shock anyone that the oft-injured forward is on the injury report once again. The veteran forward is dealing with a left ankle sprain that could force him to miss his third game this month. If Leonard does sit out, Jordan Miller and Kobe Sanders would see expanded roles during Monday's game. Between the two, Miller is the much better streaming option if Leonard is out. Miller has been a consistent contributor in the rotation and should be a reliable streaming option without Leonard on the court.

Danny Wolf Suffers Ankle Injury on Sunday
Brooklyn Nets forward Danny Wolf (ankle) needed to be helped to the locker room during Sunday's loss to the Sacramento Kings. Wolf suffered a left ankle injury when he awkwardly landed on teammate Terance Mann during the second quarter of Sunday's contest. He limped off the court and didn't return to this game. The Nets have a quick turnaround with a matchup versus the Portland Trail Blazers on Monday. Fantasy managers should consider Wolf highly questionable for that one, given he struggled getting off the court on Sunday. Chaney Johnson and E.J. Liddell would likely see larger roles in the rotation if Wolf sits out on Monday.

Killian Hayes Exits in First Half
Sacramento Kings guard Killian Hayes (toe) was forced to make an early exit from Sunday's win over the Brooklyn Nets. Hayes suffered a left toe injury and was forced to leave during the first half of Sunday's game. Hayes was unable to return to the contest, which led to increased playing time for Devin Carter and Malik Monk. Both guards could continue seeing increased roles in the rotation if Hayes remains out for Tuesday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. Fantasy managers will need to check back for another update ahead of that contest.

Nique Clifford Exits Early on Sunday
Sacramento Kings guard Nique Clifford (ankle) exited early and was unable to return during Sunday's win over the Brooklyn Nets. Clifford left the game after rolling his ankle early in the fourth quarter. The Kings decided to hold him out for the rest of the night, but the severity of the injury is unknown right now. He finished this game with seven points, four rebounds, and four assists. Killian Hayes (toe) also exited early on Sunday, so the Kings could be shorthanded going forward. Malik Monk and Devin Carter stand to gain value if Clifford or Hayes end up missing time. The Kings don't play again until Tuesday, so fantasy managers will need to check back for another update ahead of their matchup with the Charlotte Hornets.

Royce O'Neale is Ruled Out on Sunday
Phoenix Suns forward Royce O'Neale (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Toronto Raptors. O'Neale will miss his third straight game due to left knee soreness. His absence from the rotation should mean that Jordan Goodwin continues to see an increased role. Goodwin finished with 11 points, seven rebounds, and four assists in 27 minutes of action during Saturday's game. The veteran guard should offer decent streaming value while the Suns are shorthanded. Fantasy managers looking for help on Sunday night should consider snagging Goodwin.
