Josh Hart Questionable for Tuesday Against Bucks
New York Knicks guard/forward Josh Hart (ankle) is questionable for Tuesday's matchup with the Milwaukee Bucks due to right ankle soreness. Hart has missed the last two games, though head coach Mike Brown has downplayed the severity of the issue. The 31-year-old is shooting just 38.6% from the field through seven appearances, but he's still contributing 7.3 rebounds, 3.9 assists, and 2.1 steals per game. Landry Shamet has filled in as a starter during Hart's absence and knocked down three triples Saturday against Cleveland, giving him some short-term appeal if Hart remains sidelined.

Tyler Herro Iffy for Tuesday
Milwaukee Bucks guard Tyler Herro (knee) is questionable for Tuesday's matchup with the New York Knicks due to a right knee contusion. Herro briefly left Sunday's 117-97 loss to Boston before returning and finishing with 13 points on 5-for-12 shooting. The 26-year-old has played all 10 games this season and leads Milwaukee with 21.4 points per game while adding 4.6 rebounds and 4.3 assists. His absence would leave a struggling Bucks offense without its top scorer, with Brayden Burries and Ryan Rollins likely to take on larger roles if Herro is ruled out.

Keyonte George Set to Miss Tuesday's Game
Utah Jazz guard Keyonte George (ankle) has been ruled out for Tuesday's matchup with the Miami Heat due to a right ankle sprain. George suffered the injury Sunday against Minnesota after putting up 19 points, eight assists, and five rebounds through three quarters. The 23-year-old is averaging 21.1 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 6.4 assists through 10 games for a Jazz team riding an eight-game losing streak. Isaiah Collier should get more time on the ball in George's absence, while Darryn Peterson could also take on a larger offensive role if Lauri Markkanen (wrist) is unavailable. Utah plays again Wednesday against Orlando, giving George his next opportunity to return.

Gary Payton II Downgraded to Out Monday
Golden State Warriors guard/forward Gary Payton II (knee) won't play Monday against the New Orleans Pelicans. He was listed as questionable before being downgraded to out with left knee inflammation. The 33-year-old dealt with right calf tightness last week but still logged 13 minutes in Saturday's overtime win over Orlando, posting four points and two steals. Payton is averaging 5.0 points and 1.6 rebounds in 13.4 minutes across 10 games, so his absence won't shake up many fantasy lineups. With Will Richard (thumb) also sidelined, De'Anthony Melton should see extra work and offers steals upside.

Jordan Goodwin Sidelined Again Monday
Phoenix Suns guard Jordan Goodwin (calf) has been ruled out for Monday's matchup with the San Antonio Spurs, according to Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic. Suns coach Jordan Ott said the team is hopeful Goodwin can return Tuesday against the Clippers after he missed the previous three games with right calf soreness. The 28-year-old is averaging 7.8 points, 3.4 rebounds, and 2.6 assists through five appearances. His potential return on the second night of a back-to-back makes Tuesday's status worth watching, while Collin Gillespie should continue to see extra backcourt minutes until Goodwin is cleared.

Christian Braun Cleared to Play Monday
Denver Nuggets guard/forward Christian Braun (calf) is available for Monday's matchup with the Houston Rockets after being listed with a left calf contusion and an illness. Braun has started all eight games this season and is averaging 13.5 points, 3.9 rebounds, 2.1 assists, and 2.0 steals while shooting 51.9% from the field. The 25-year-old has cooled off from his hot start beyond the arc, but the defensive production has remained useful for fantasy managers. With both issues cleared for Monday, Braun should handle his usual workload in Denver's starting five.

Immanuel Quickley Questionable Vs. Memphis On Monday
Toronto Raptors guard Immanuel Quickley (right hamstring tightness) is questionable to play on Monday against the Memphis Grizzlies. Quickley missed Toronto's Friday win over the Milwaukee Bucks. He is averaging 17.4 points, 3.5 rebounds, and 5.8 assists per game this season on 40.9 percent shooting from the field. Jamal Shead and Alijah Martin could see more minutes if Quickley is to miss another game on Monday night. Quickley is a nice contributor of points and assists and also contributes 1.1 steals per game on the defensive end. Fantasy managers will want to see Quickley return to the lineup in what is a good matchup against Memphis.

Austin Reaves Questionable For Monday
According to Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com, Los Angeles Lakers guard/forward Austin Reaves (illness) is questionable for Monday's matchup against the Atlanta Hawks. Reaves could miss the contest after scoring 43 points, grabbing five rebounds, and adding four assists in 37 minutes during Sunday's win over Detroit. With Quentin Grimes (finger) already ruled out, Collin Sexton would likely take on a larger backcourt role if Reaves is also sidelined.

According to Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com, Los Angeles Lakers guard Quentin Grimes (finger) is unavailable for Monday's game against the Atlanta Hawks after spraining a finger on his right hand Sunday against the Pistons. Grimes recorded 12 points, four assists, one rebound, one steal, and one block in 32 minutes before exiting the contest. With Austin Reaves (illness) also potentially sidelined, Collin Sexton should see additional minutes and scoring opportunities against the Hawks.

Devin Vassell Unavailable on Monday
Tom Orsborn of the San Antonio Express-News reports that San Antonio Spurs guard/forward Devin Vassell (groin) is unavailable for Monday's matchup against the Phoenix Suns due to left adductor tightness. Vassell missed 12 games last campaign with a strain in the same area. The 26-year-old will sit out his first game this season after averaging 11.9 points, 3.8 rebounds, and 3.1 assists. With Tobias Harris (calf) also ruled out, Julian Champagnie, Keldon Johnson, and Carter Bryant will likely see extended minutes.

Christian Braun Listed as Questionable Versus Houston
Denver Nuggets guard/forward Christian Braun (calf) is questionable for Monday's matchup with the Houston Rockets. Braun is dealing with a left calf contusion while also battling an illness after scoring six points on 2-for-8 shooting in Saturday's win over Indiana. Before that quiet outing, the 25-year-old had shot 54.9% from the field and 42.4% from three while averaging 2.1 steals through seven games. Denver's other four starters are also questionable, along with DeMar DeRozan (back). If Braun sits, Cam Whitmore could work his way into the wing rotation.

Devin Vassell Questionable for Monday Against Suns
San Antonio Spurs guard/forward Devin Vassell (groin) is questionable for Monday's matchup with the Phoenix Suns due to left adductor tightness. It's a notable issue for the 26-year-old, who missed 12 games last season with a strain in the same area. Vassell has yet to sit out this season and enters Monday after scoring 19 points with five threes against Sacramento on Friday and 15 points against Portland on Saturday. He's averaging 11.9 points, 3.8 rebounds, and 3.1 assists. With Tobias Harris (calf) already ruled out, Julian Champagnie, Keldon Johnson, and Carter Bryant could absorb additional wing minutes if Vassell can't go.

Will Richard Out Indefinitely with Torn UCL
Golden State Warriors guard Will Richard (thumb) has a torn UCL in his left thumb and will miss Monday's game against New Orleans, according to ESPN's Anthony Slater. There is no timetable for his return. The second-year guard had worked his way into a regular rotation role during Golden State's seven-game winning streak, making two starts last week. Richard is averaging 5.1 points, 1.8 rebounds, and 1.0 assists in 17.2 minutes while shooting 42.9 percent from three. He wasn't producing enough to warrant a fantasy hold, while Gary Payton II and Georges Niang could pick up additional minutes with Richard joining Jimmy Butler III (knee) and Moses Moody (knee) on the sideline.

Nique Clifford Traded to the Thunder
Sacramento Kings guard/forward Nique Clifford is being traded to the Oklahoma City Thunder for two second-round picks, according to ESPN's Shams Charania. The move sends Clifford back to the franchise that selected him 24th overall in 2025 before dealing him to Sacramento on draft night. The 24-year-old had fallen out of the Kings' rotation, logging just 50 minutes across eight games this season after averaging 8.6 points, 3.8 rebounds, and 2.4 assists as a rookie. Oklahoma City is missing Jalen Williams (leg), Cason Wallace (shoulder), and Chet Holmgren (knee), giving Clifford a chance to compete for reserve minutes, though Ajay Mitchell and Jared McCain remain ahead of him in the fantasy pecking order.

Egor Demin Progressing Toward Return From Leg Injury
Brooklyn Nets guard Egor Demin (leg) is making progress in his recovery from a bone bruise, according to Brian Lewis of the New York Post. Head coach Jordi Fernandez said Saturday that Demin is back on the court and progressing well, with another evaluation expected after the weekend. The 20-year-old has missed six straight games after averaging 7.8 points and 2.8 assists on 31.0% shooting through four starts. Nolan Traore has taken advantage of the extra backcourt work, but his role could tighten once Demin is cleared to return.
