Utah Jazz forward/centerKevin Love(rest) will be out of action for Monday's matchup with the Golden State Warriors. Love will miss the second leg of a back-to-back set to rest after posting four points, nine rebounds, two assists across 13 minutes during Sunday's 108-106 loss to the Lakers. With a limited role, Love hasn't made much of an impact in fantasy basketball in a while. Kyle Filipowski could receive some extra attention from fantasy managers for tonight's contest as he will likely see additional minutes off the bench with Love out.

Dallas Mavericks forward/center Anthony Davis (calf) won't play on Monday versus Miami. He's already missed 13 games because of the calf injury. While there are some reports indicating AD is inching his way closer to a return, fantasy managers will need to see it to believe it. With Dereck Lively II (foot) also sidelined, Daniel Gafford could see a few additional minutes, although he's only averaged 9.7 points, 6.3 rebounds, and 1.6 blocks, all down from the 2024 campaign. Moussa Cisse may also be more involved, giving him a higher ceiling for those participating in deeper fantasy setups.

Phoenix Suns guard/forward Grayson Allen (quadriceps) and forward Ryan Dunn (wrist) will miss Monday's game against Houston, leaving the wing rotation thin. Allen had averaged 21.8 points with 2.2 rebounds, 3.2 assists, and 2.2 steals over his last five games while shooting 59.3 percent from the field and 52.5 percent from deep. Dunn had been contributing steady defense and rebounding in smaller minutes. Their absence pushes Collin Gillespie and Royce O'Neale into larger roles, with Gillespie offering more playmaking and O'Neale profiling as a threes-and-steals streamer in standard formats.

Golden State Warriors forward/center Draymond Green (foot) will miss Monday's game against Utah after injuring his foot on a loose-ball sequence in Portland. Green last posted 11 points, five rebounds, seven assists, three steals, and one block in 33 minutes, but his absence shifts the frontcourt toward Trayce Jackson-Davis and Quinten Post. Jackson-Davis showed promise with 8 points, 12 rebounds, and one block in his latest start, making him a tentative streaming consideration. Post remains more of a deep-league flier for perimeter shooting and spot defensive stats.

Cleveland Cavaliers guardLonzo Ball(knee) is available to suit up against the Toronto Raptors on Monday. Ball missed Sunday's contest against the Clippers due to left knee injury management. The 28-year-old has averaged 5.9 points, 4.1 rebounds, 5.1 assists, and 1.2 steals across 23.3 minutes over his last five outings. With guardSam Merrill(hand) and guardCraig Porter Jr. (hamstring) both out, Ball could absorb plenty of extra backcourt minutes and be a solid streaming option based on assists and steals for this evening's matchup.

Toronto Raptors forward RJ Barrett (knee) won't play on Monday versus Cleveland. The former Knick sprained his left knee in Sunday's win over the Brooklyn Nets. Unfortunately, it will cost him his first game of the 2025 campaign, although it appears he may miss more time beyond Monday night. In the meantime, Gradey Dick and Jamal Shead may benefit the most from a minutes standpoint, with one potentially in line to enter the starting lineup. However, both are risky fantasy options, even with the chance of expanded roles, considering Brandon Ingram, Scottie Barnes, and Immanuel Quickley may take the most advantage of Barrett's absence.

Cleveland Cavaliers forwardDe'Andre Hunter(rest) won't suit up on Monday versus the Toronto Raptors. Hunter will miss tonight's tilt to rest after finishing with 17 points, four rebounds, four assists, and one steal during Sunday's 120-105 win over the Clippers. Jarrett Allen (finger) is also unavailable. Dean Wade (knee) is considered questionable for this evening, but if he can suit up, he could absorb some of the freed-up minutes Allen and Hunter left on the table.

New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson (illness) won't play on Monday versus the Brooklyn Nets, marking his sixth absence of the 2025 campaign. The 27-year-old isn't hurt, which is always a plus for fantasy managers, considering his lengthy injury history. However, he's not feeling well, marking his first absence since November 11. With that in mind, Robinson might be back when the Knicks play in Charlotte on Wednesday evening. In the meantime, Karl-Anthony Towns will presumably slide over to the five spot, Jordan Clarkson and Josh Hart are in line to see more minutes than usual, with one of them potentially entering the starting lineup. Precious Achiuwa may also see more action, although he's averaged only 2.7 points and 2.4 boards in 14 games this season, making him tough to trust from a fantasy standpoint, even with the chance of an expanded role.

Miami Heat forward Andrew Wiggins (hip) and guard Norman Powell (groin) won't play on Monday versus the Mavericks. It's a tough blow for Miami, with both players averaging a combined 42.1 points this season. Fortunately, Tyler Herro (foot, ankle) is projected to make his 2025 debut on Monday night, which will help lessen the blow, even if he plays fewer than the 32.6 minutes per game that he's averaged throughout his career. Of course, Bam Adebayo and Kel'el Ware remain must-start fantasy options in all formats, considering the duo should see more scoring chances. The same can be said for Jaime Jaquez Jr., who is coming off a potent 22-point effort in Sunday's win over the Philadelphia 76ers.

Cleveland Cavaliers centerJarrett Allen(finger) will remain sidelined on Monday against the Toronto Raptors due to a right third finger strain, marking his third straight absence. Allen has been solid across 14 contests, averaging 14.8 points, 7.6 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 1.1 steals, and 0.9 blocks in 26.0 minutes while shooting 57.7 percent. His next chance to suit up is on Friday against the Hawks, but a timetable for when the 27-year-old big man will be ready to return has not been set.

Cleveland Cavaliers guardDarius Garland(toe) is unavailable for Monday's clash with the Toronto Raptors. Garland will sit out the second half of a back-to-back set due to toe injury management. He has played only five games this season due to a left great toe injury, so the Cavs are being cautious and keeping him out of action this evening. The 25-year-old will likely suit up again on Friday against the Hawks. With De'Andre Hunter (rest) also sidelined, Jaylon Tyson will likely see an expanded role during tonight's contest.

Orlando's G Jett Howard scored 30 points on 11-of-23 shooting in a 129-138 loss to Boston on Sunday, Nov. 23. Howard is owned in very few, if any leagues.

Denver Nuggets forward Aaron Gordon (hamstring) will miss at least four to six weeks after being diagnosed with a Grade 2 right hamstring strain, removing one of Denver's key frontcourt pieces for the foreseeable future. Gordon was producing 18.8 points, 5.9 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 0.8 steals, and 0.2 blocks in 28.3 minutes on 53.2 percent shooting before the injury, making him an IL stash in most formats. Peyton Watson steps in as the primary replacement and should see a clear bump in minutes, while Cameron Johnson gains added stability across scoring and rebounding. With Christian Braun (ankle) also out, Bruce Brown and Tim Hardaway Jr. remain viable short-term streamers for threes, points, and supplemental defensive stats.

Dallas Mavericks forward/center Anthony Davis (calf) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's matchup with Miami, keeping his availability very much in question after already missing a lengthy stretch. Davis has appeared in only five games for Dallas but has delivered strong production when available, posting 20.8 points, 10.2 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 1.6 steals, and 1.2 blocks in 30.0 minutes on 52.0 percent shooting. His limited durability remains the primary concern for fantasy managers, as another missed game reinforces the need for contingency plans at center. P.J. Washington and Daniel Gafford gain stability in the frontcourt, while Dereck Lively II's (foot) continued absence further concentrates minutes among the remaining bigs.

Phoenix Suns forward Ryan Dunn (wrist) has been ruled out for Sunday's meeting with the Spurs, marking his first missed game of the season after being downgraded from questionable. Dunn has been a steady defensive presence, averaging 8.4 points, 4.8 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 1.4 steals, and 0.7 blocks in 24.1 minutes while shooting 47.8 percent from the field and 34.0 percent from deep. His on-ball disruption remains his most bankable fantasy trait, highlighted by multiple multi-steal outings throughout the month. With Dunn unavailable, Dillon Brooks and Royce O'Neale take on additional wing responsibilities, and Isaiah Livers profiles as a deeper-league three-and-D streaming option for managers seeking short-term production.

Orlando Magic center Goga Bitadze (ankle) was ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Celtics. Wendell Carter Jr. (ankle) wasn't available, so Bitadze was in line to take over at the five. However, the 26-year-old developed ankle soreness, resulting in him being scratched after the team had already announced he would be in the starting lineup. Orlando Robinson ended up taking his spot in the rotation. Fantasy managers will now have to wait and see if either Carter or Bitadze will be back on the floor for Tuesday's NBA Cup clash with the Philadelphia 76ers.

Portland Trail Blazers center Robert Williams III (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game in Oklahoma City due to knee maintenance. Williams has averaged 4.5 points, 4.4 rebounds, and 0.8 blocks in 12.8 minutes this season, and his last five games included 5.6 points, 5.4 rebounds, and 1.2 blocks on 60.9 percent shooting. With Williams sidelined and Donovan Clingan (knee) available to start, Portland will consolidate its interior workload around Clingan, who has been a steady rebounder and finisher. Yang Hansen and Duop Reath profile as deep-league streamers for rebounds and blocks, while Deni Avdija and Jerami Grant could absorb extra minutes in smaller lineups if Portland adjusts its rotation.

Portland Trail Blazers center Donovan Clingan (ankle) has been upgraded to available for Sunday's game in Oklahoma City, while Robert Williams III (knee) has been ruled out, solidifying Clingan as the clear centerpiece of Portland's interior rotation. Clingan has been in strong form recently, averaging 14.6 points, 12.4 rebounds, and 1.8 blocks over his past five games, including a 22-point, 10-rebound showing in his last outing. With Williams sidelined, Clingan should handle a heavier dose of minutes and defensive responsibility, giving him a stable path to rebounds and blocks with some scoring upside. Yang Hansen and Duop Reath remain deep-league contingency streamers, while Deni Avdija and Jerami Grant could see occasional small-ball frontcourt usage if Portland adjusts matchups.

Orlando Magic guard Anthony Black will start in Sunday's meeting with the Celtics. Jalen Suggs (knee) will take the night off to rest after logging 32 minutes in Saturday's win over the New York Knicks, opening the door for Black to get some extra action. The 21-year-old has started three times this season, averaging 15.3 points, 1.3 steals, and 1.0 blocks. However, with Paolo Banchero (groin) and Wendell Carter Jr. (ankle) also out, Black might be more productive, giving him plenty of upside for fantasy managers.

Los Angeles Clippers guard/forward Bogdan Bogdanovic (hip) has been ruled out for Sunday's meetings with the Cleveland Cavaliers. The team has downgraded his status from questionable to out. A left hip contusion will keep Bogdanovic sidelined for a second consecutive game. Due to Bradley Beal's (hip) injury, Bogdanovic has had a much larger role in the Clippers' rotation lately, averaging 28.0 minutes a night. His absence from the lineup means more minutes for Cam Christie, who missed a double-double by just two points and one rebound in Saturday's victory over the Charlotte Hornets.
