Charlotte Hornets forward Miles Bridges (back) has been listed as questionable for Monday's home game against the Los Angeles Lakers. Bridges has landed on the injury report due to back spasms. Charlotte remains without LaMelo Ball (ankle) and Brandon Miller (shoulder), meaning the team could be missing three major offensive contributors on Monday night. This would give Kon Knueppel, Collin Sexton, and Tre Mann greater roles on the attacking end. Rookies Ryan Kalkbrennerand Sion James, who have been starting, may also see more offensive touches.

Cleveland Cavaliers point guard Darius Garland (toe) isn't on the injury report for Monday's encounter with the Miami Heat. The two-time All-Star only recently made his season debut, and Cleveland rested him on Saturday against the Chicago Bulls during the second leg of a back-to-back. Garland has been rusty in his first couple of outings, shooting only 37 percent from the field. He's averaged 14.0 points, 2.0 rebounds, and 6.5 assists in 27.0 minutes. The Heat have a top-five defense in the league, so Garland may face more difficulties on the court in Monday's game.

Charlotte Hornets point guard LaMelo Ball (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. He'll be sidelined for a fourth consecutive game due to an issue with his right ankle. Sion James has been starting during Ball's absence, averaging 10.3 points, 4.0 rebounds, and 2.0 assists over the past three contests. Meanwhile, Collin Sexton has been given more playmaking duties and even logged his 11th career double-double with 10 points and 12 assists in Tuesday's loss to the New Orleans Pelicans. On Monday, Sexton may have to return to score-first mode, as Charlotte could also be without Miles Bridges (back), who has been listed as questionable on the injury report.

Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry (illness) has been ruled out for Sunday's meeting with the Indiana Pacers. The former MVP was initially considered questionable for the game due to illness. Curry will be sidelined for a third consecutive game, boosting the fantasy value of Brandin Podziemski and Will Richard. The latter has done better over the last two games, even dropping 30 points in Wednesday's loss to the Sacramento Kings. Curry's absence also means more offensive touches for Jimmy Butler III and Jonathan Kuminga.

Dallas Mavericks forward/center Anthony Davis (calf) remains on the injury report with a questionable designation ahead of Monday's matchup against the Milwaukee Bucks. Davis is working his way back from a left calf strain and was also questionable for Saturday's contest against the Washington Wizards. Ultimately, Davis was ruled out for the clash, missing a fifth consecutive game. With Dereck Lively II (knee) also battling an injury, the Mavericks frontcourt leaned on Daniel Gafford (ankle), Dwight Powell, and Moussa Cisse on Saturday. The latter two may have to take on even more work on Monday, as Gafford is also considered questionable for the game.

Los Angeles Lakers guard Austin Reaves (groin) is considered questionable for Monday's contest against the Charlotte Hornets. A right groin strain could keep Reaves sidelined for a fourth consecutive game. Jake LaRavia has been starting during Reaves' absence and will continue to have additional fantasy value if he remains out on Monday. Over the last three games, LaRavia has averaged 10.7 points, 5.3 rebounds, 3.0 assists, and 1.7 steals. On Monday, LaRavia's productivity may even improve, considering the Hornets are ranked 24th in defensive efficiency while playing with the fourth-fastest pace in the league.

Detroit Pistons guard/forward Caris LeVert (knee) will officially be active on Sunday against the Philadelphia 76ers. The 31-year-old has been upgraded from probable to available on the injury report. Although LeVert is dealing with soreness in his left knee, the issue won't keep him off the court. LeVert has finished back-to-back games with double-digit points, his highest-scoring outings of the campaign. In Friday's matchup against the Brooklyn Nets, he also showed off some playmaking skills, finishing with four assists. Philadelphia allows the fourth-fewest bench points in the league, which could significantly impact LeVert's performance on Sunday.

Detroit Pistons forward/center Isaiah Stewart (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup against the Philadelphia 76ers. He was initially listed as doubtful for the game after Stewart sprained his left ankle during Friday's win over the Brooklyn Nets. Stewart has recently filled in for Tobias Harris (ankle) in the first unit. Now, Pistons head coach J.B. Bickerstaff must rethink his plans again. Ron Holland II started the second half in Stewart's place on Sunday, while Paul Reed could provide the Pistons with another bigger body in the frontcourt.

Miami Heat forward/center Bam Adebayo (toe) will remain out for Monday's meeting with the Cleveland Cavaliers. He exited the 122-112 loss to the Denver Nuggets, with a subsequent MRI revealing a great toe sprain. While Adebayo is currently classified as day-to-day, there are reports that he may be on the shelf for weeks, possibly over a month. Of course, that wouldn't be an ideal scenario for fantasy managers, considering he's averaging 19.9 points, 8.1 rebounds, and 1.0 steals this season. With that in mind, Miami will run smaller than usual, at least when Kel'el Ware isn't on the floor. Guys like Andrew Wiggins, Norman Powell, Jaime Jaquez Jr., and Pelle Larsson are the favorites to lead the way offensively until Adebayo or Tyler Herro (ankle, foot) are back on the court.

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee) won't play on Sunday versus the Pistons. The 2023 MVP is starting to return to form, most recently amassing 29 points, six rebounds, four assists, and one block in the 130-120 win over the Toronto Raptors on Saturday night. As expected, he'll take the night off for the second game of the back-to-back. With Embiid getting some rest on Sunday night, Adem Bona, averaging 4.3 points, 3.7 rebounds, and 1.3 blocks in three starts, will presumably take his place in the rotation, with Andre Drummond projected to receive a few more minutes from off the bench. However, neither player can be trusted to produce, although there is streaming potential for desperate fantasy managers in deeper formats, especially for category participants in need of rebounding to close out the week.

Sacramento Kings center Domantas Sabonis (rib) is listed as questionable versus the Timberwolves. He's dealing with a left ribcage contusion, missing the last two games against Golden State and Oklahoma City. If he returns, expect lighter minutes and less physical play inside as Sacramento eases him back, which could slightly cap his usual scoring and playmaking numbers. If Sabonis remains out, Drew Eubanks profiles as a short-term streamer for boards and defensive stats, while Russell Westbrook, DeMar DeRozan, and Zach LaVine should handle most of the scoring and playmaking. Newly signed forward Precious Achiuwa logged only nine minutes in his Kings debut, finishing with four points, four rebounds, and one steal, but he's worth a spot on watch lists in deeper formats if Sabonis remains out longer than expected.

Detroit Pistons forward Tobias Harris (right ankle sprain) is out for Sunday at Philadelphia, his fourth straight missed game. This keeps Detroit leaning on Cade Cunningham's shot creation and Jalen Duren's interior usage, while Isaiah Stewart (ankle) is doubtful, further consolidating frontcourt touches. In standard leagues, continue to start Cunningham and Duren with confidence; both have produced high-volume lines during Harris' absence. Ausar Thompson gains a small usage and rebounding bump and is the best all-around streamer for points, boards, steals, and blocks. With wing minutes opening, Duncan Robinson profiles as a three-point specialist for managers chasing triples, and Caris LeVert (knee), listed probable, can supply secondary playmaking if his minutes hold. In deeper formats, Ron Holland II is a watch list add for opportunistic scoring if Detroit downsizes at the four.

Detroit Pistons big man Isaiah Stewart (ankle) is doubtful for Sunday at Philadelphia after exiting Friday's win in Brooklyn and logging only 8.9 minutes with a left ankle sprain. If he sits, expect Jalen Duren to anchor the frontline with heavier minutes and rebounding volume, while Cade Cunningham's usage should remain sky high as Detroit continues to run its offense through pick-and-rolls and paint touches. Tobias Harris (ankle) remains out, opening up frontcourt minutes for Ausar Thompson and second-year forward Ron Holland II, who could see his most extended run of the season. Holland has shown flashes of defensive versatility and upside in limited action, making him a deep-league streamer if he gets 25-plus minutes. Stewart remains a hold where rostered, but fantasy managers should prepare a short-term replacement at power forward or center until he returns.

Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry (illness) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Indiana. He missed the last two games. If he's cleared against Indiana, fantasy managers should be starting him without hesitation and trimming expectations for Brandin Podziemski, Moses Moody, and Will Richard, who all saw bigger roles in his absence. If Curry sits again, Podziemski should handle more on-ball reps and rebounding from the guard spot; Moody profiles as the best plug-and-play option for threes and defensive counters after dropping 28 points with six triples in Sacramento, and Jonathan Kuminga will soak up shots despite some volatility. Draymond Green remains a facilitator either way, while Buddy Hield is a deep-league dart for perimeter scoring.

Oklahoma City Thunder forward Luguentz Dort (right upper trap strain) is listed as questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Memphis Grizzlies. Dort has struggled to find rhythm offensively this season, averaging 7.1 points on 31 percent shooting, though his defense keeps him valuable in real life and deeper fantasy formats. If he sits, Cason Wallace, Isaiah Joe, and Ajay Mitchell are the most likely to see extended run on the wings. Wallace provides defensive stability and some playmaking upside, Joe offers instant offense from three, while Mitchell has quietly shown promise as a secondary creator and could surprise with counting stats in expanded minutes. Fantasy managers in standard leagues can keep Dort benched until he heats up, while deep-league players should monitor Mitchell as a sneaky streaming option if Dort is ruled out.

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Aaron Wiggins (left adductor strain) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies, his second straight absence. Wiggins had carved out a key role in OKC's rotation, starting several games and averaging 14.8 points on 46 percent shooting and 41 percent from three before the injury. With him sidelined, Cason Wallace, Isaiah Joe, and Ajay Mitchell all have a chance to step up if given extra minutes. Wallace provides efficient scoring and defensive versatility, Joe offers elite shooting that can help in threes and percentages, and Mitchell brings playmaking and hustle that fit well with OKC's pace. All three can be worth streaming in deeper formats, depending on how minutes are distributed. Wiggins should be stashed where possible, as his scoring and efficiency have been valuable when healthy.

Memphis Grizzlies forward Santi Aldama (left shoulder soreness) is listed as questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Oklahoma City Thunder after playing in all 10 games so far this season. Aldama has quietly been a steady presence for Memphis, averaging 12.0 points, 6.3 rebounds, and 2.2 assists in 25 minutes per game with an improving outside shot. If he's unable to play, expect Jaren Jackson Jr. to take on a larger role in the frontcourt, while Vince Williams Jr. could see added minutes in the rotation. With Jock Landale already filling the starting center spot, Aldama's absence would mostly thin out Memphis' forward depth. Fantasy managers should monitor updates, as Aldama's versatility and consistent stat lines make him a strong streaming or back-end roster option in standard formats when active.

Phoenix Suns guard Jalen Green (hamstring) was ruled out Saturday against the Clippers after suffering a right hamstring injury. He logged just under seven minutes before exiting, finishing with two points, one rebound, and one assist. It's a tough break for Green, who just erupted for 29 points in his previous outing and was showing signs of finding his rhythm in Phoenix's offense after missing the first eight games to begin the 2025 campaign due to the same issue. The team will likely play it safe, so fantasy managers shouldn't expect to see him on the floor when the Suns meet the Pelicans on Monday night. With Green potentially sidelined, Royce O'Neale and Collin Gillespie stepped up, combining for 25 points, nine assists, and strong all-around play. Expect Devin Booker, Grayson Allen, and Dillon Brooks to carry the scoring load while Green recovers. Fantasy managers should hold Green for now, but it's fair to explore temporary replacements if he's forced to miss multiple games. O'Neale offers multi-category appeal, while Gillespie could be a deeper-league streaming option.

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (left knee patellar tendinopathy) is listed as probable for Sunday's matchup against the Houston Rockets. The Bucks continue to manage his workload, but he's expected to suit up after another dominant stretch where he's averaging 33.4 points, 12.9 rebounds, and 6.6 assists on 64% shooting. Fantasy managers can stay confident starting him, as Giannis continues to anchor Milwaukee's offense and stuff the stat sheet nightly. However, if the Bucks choose to rest him, Ryan Rollins would be the name to watch. The young guard erupted for 32 points, eight assists, and five triples the last time Giannis sat, showing real upside when given full usage. Bobby Portis and Kyle Kuzma should also see extra touches, though both have been inconsistent and profile more as low-end fantasy fillers if Giannis misses time.

Milwaukee Bucks forward Taurean Prince (neck strain) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup against the Houston Rockets, marking his second straight game on the sidelines. The veteran has averaged 6.1 points, 1.6 rebounds, and 1.0 assist in 21 minutes per game, offering occasional shooting but limited fantasy relevance. With Prince out, Kyle Kuzma is expected to see a slight bump in minutes and could serve as a fringe option in deeper leagues for points if his shooting starts to click. Amir Coffey may also get additional run, though his low usage keeps him off the radar in most formats.
