Brooklyn Nets forward Cameron Johnson (ankle) won't play on Monday and will miss the next two games before being re-evaluated sometime next week. That means, Johnson's next chance to get back on the court will be against the Houston Rockets next Tuesday. It's uncertain if Johnson will be under a minutes limit once he's cleared to play. Jalen Wilson and Tyrese Martin should continue seeing increased roles in the rotation over the next week. Wilson has been hit-or-miss, but is worth a look as a possible streaming option while Johnson is out.

Portland Trail Blazers center Deandre Ayton (knee) is questionable for Tuesday's matchup against the Milwaukee Bucks. The former No. 1 pick has been sidelined for three games with a knee sprain. Donovan Clingan and Robert Williams III have shared the center duties with Ayton unavailable. Clingan has been the preferred option in the starting lineup, but Williams III outplayed him in Sunday's loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder. The former Celtic has recorded double-digit rebounds in back-to-back outings. Clingan entered Sunday with a four-game run of double-digit rebounds but grabbed just six boards against the Thunder and finished scoreless.

Brooklyn Nets forward Trendon Watford (hamstring) is reportedly trending in the right direction and could return to the court this week. The 24-year-old has been sidelined since mid-December due to a left hamstring strain. The Nets are considering Watford as day-to-day, which means he could return to the court on Wednesday or Saturday. He has missed over 20 games in a row, so fantasy managers should expect Watford to have a significant minutes limit when he does return. Once back to full speed, Watford could offer some low-end streaming value, but for now he's just worth monitoring.

Golden State Warriors forward Jonathan Kuminga (ankle) is scheduled for a re-evaluation in two weeks. Kuminga has been out since Jan. 4 with an ankle sprain, but the team announced that he is making "good progress." Golden State expects Kuminga to begin light on-court individual workouts in the next week. Based on the update, Kuminga will miss at least eight more games. Moses Moody has taken on a larger role during Kuminga's absence. He has averaged 9.8 points, 2.6 rebounds, and 2.0 assists in 23.6 minutes since Kuminga exited the lineup. Moody has scored in double digits in each of his last six appearances.

Milwaukee Bucks guard AJ Green (quad) has been ruled out ahead of Monday's game against the Utah Jazz. Green is now set to miss his fourth game in a row due to a lingering quad injury. The Bucks are playing the front end of a back-to-back set, so his next chance to play will be versus the Portland Trail Blazers on Tuesday. The absence of Green should mean that Gary Trent Jr., Ryan Rollins, and possibly Andre Jackson Jr. would see bigger roles in the rotation. Out of the trio, Trent has been the most consistent fantasy option over the last few games.

Golden State Warriors forward/center Draymond Green (calf) will not play on Tuesday against the Utah Jazz but is nearing a return to action. The team has labeled Green as day-to-day as he continues to work his way back from a calf strain. The veteran will miss a fifth consecutive game on Tuesday. Considering Green has yet to practice with the team, it's safe to assume he also won't be available for Wednesday's meeting with the Oklahoma City Thunder. After the back-to-back set, Golden State will return to action on Friday against the Phoenix Suns.

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) is available ahead of Monday's game against the Utah Jazz. As expected, Antetokounmpo will play after being listed as probable on the injury report. The 30-year-old has basically been on the injury report all season long, but he continues to play through the knee issue. Antetokounmpo has been excellent lately with 34 points or more in three of his last four games coming into this one. This will be a favorable matchup for Antetokounmpo, so fantasy managers better make sure to get him active in their lineups.

Philadelphia 76ers forward/center Guerschon Yabusele (knee) is probable for Tuesday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. The Frenchman is currently dealing with swelling in his right knee, but the probable tag suggests that Yabusele will be able to take the court on Tuesday. The 29-year-old has had a good comeback campaign in the NBA this season, averaging 10.3 points and 5.5 rebounds. He is currently operating as the team's starting center with Joel Embiid (knee) and Andre Drummond (toe) on the shelf. If Yabusele suffers a setback and joins Embiid and Drummond on the sidelines, Adem Bona and Pete Nance will split the center minutes.

Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard will see an increase in playing time ahead of Monday's game against the Phoenix Suns, according to head coach Ty Lue. Leonard has played 24 minutes in each of his last four games. That being said, the Clippers feel that Leonard is ready for a slightly heavier workload now. It seems unlikely that Leonard would jump into the 30-minutes mark, so around 26-28 range seems likely. Fantasy managers should get a slight boost in fantasy value from Leonard in this one.

Milwaukee Bucks forward Khris Middleton (ankle) has been cleared to play ahead of Monday's game against the Utah Jazz. As expected, Middleton will play after head coach Doc Rivers said that he'd most likely suit up for this game. Middleton has lost his job in the starting five, but he still has been a fairly solid contributor off the bench. He posted a dud last time out, but before that Middleton had a stretch of five games where he scored 11 points or more. During that span, Middleton also dished out four assists or more in each of those contests. Fantasy managers should expect a bounce back outing from Middleton in this one.

Philadelphia 76ers center Andre Drummond (toe) will not play against the Los Angeles Lakers on Tuesday. The rebounding machine has made only four appearances in January and will sit out a third consecutive game. Since Drummond did not practice on Monday, it seems unlikely that he will return for the second leg of a back-to-back on Wednesday versus the Sacramento Kings. Adem Bona will continue to act as the backup center behind Guerschon Yabusele (knee), who is considered probable for the game. Bona has looked quite raw on the court and doesn't currently have fantasy value.

Charlotte Hornets point guard LaMelo Ball rolled his left ankle during Monday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. He was injured in the second quarter after colliding with Lakers forward Jared Vanderbilt following a three-point shot. Ball exited to the locker room, having played only nine minutes in the first half. If Ball cannot return, Vasilije Micic and Seth Curry are expected to take on heavier workloads.

Philadelphia 76ers forward Caleb Martin (hip) will miss his ninth consecutive game on Tuesday against the Los Angeles Lakers. He has been ruled out despite participating in a full practice on Monday. This indicates that Martin is close to returning, and his comeback could happen on Wednesday when Philadelphia finishes a back-to-back against the Sacramento Kings. Eric Gordon should get another start on Tuesday, with Justin Edwards and Ricky Council IV seeing additional action off the bench. After slumping for most of the campaign, Gordon has found his rhythm lately, averaging 11.1 points with red-hot 51.2 percent shooting from three-point land across the last eight games.

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee) will sit out the upcoming back-to-back set. He has already been officially ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers, and Kyle Neubeck of AllPHLY.com reports that Embiid will also miss Wednesday's matchup against the Sacramento Kings. The former MVP last played on Jan. 4 and has missed 11 games since. With Andre Drummond (toe) also struggling to remain in the lineup, the 76ers have relied heavily on Guerschon Yabusele (knee) at center. Yabusele is dealing with swelling in his right knee but is expected to play in Tuesday's game.

Philadelphia 76ers forward Paul George (finger) has been ruled out for Tuesday's matchup against the Los Angeles Lakers. The nine-time All-Star hurt his left pinky finger during Saturday's game against the Chicago Bulls and was unable to practice on Monday. Tuesday marks the beginning of a back-to-back for Philadelphia, so the chances seem high that George will sit out multiple games. Justin Edwards and Ricky Council IV are looking at extra work with George out. However, these players have not provided consistent fantasy value.

Memphis Grizzlies forward Jake LaRavia (back) will be active against the New York Knicks on Monday. The 23-year-old has overcome a back problem that forced LaRavia to miss three games. LaRavia has had a few good performances in 2024-25 but tends to be inconsistent. He averaged 7.8 points, 4.4 rebounds, and 3.1 assists for the campaign. With Marcus Smart (finger) currently the only regular rotation player absent for the Grizzlies, LaRavia is unlikely to have a significant role in Monday's contest.

Atlanta Hawks forward De'Andre Hunter (illness) will play on Monday against the Minnesota Timberwolves. The 27-year-old missed Saturday's game against the Toronto Raptors because of an illness. But fortunately for Atlanta, he is back on the floor. With Jalen Johnson (shoulder), Dyson Daniels (ankle), and Trae Young (hamstring) unavailable, Hunter could easily surpass expectations on Monday night.

Atlanta Hawks guard Dyson Daniels (ankle) won't play on Monday against Minnesota. The 21-year-old popped up on the injury report on Monday because of ankle soreness. Unfortunately, he won't be on the floor versus the Timberwolves, joining Trae Young (hamstring), Jalen Johnson (shoulder), and Larry Nance Jr. (hand, injury management) on the shelf. As a result, Zaccharie Risacher (adductor), De'Andre Hunter (illness), Vit Krejci, and Onyeka Okongwu may all benefit from a production standpoint. Keaton Wallace, who was recalled from the G League, could also be in line for added scoring opportunities and minutes.

Toronto Raptors guard/forward Ochai Agbaji (hand) will rejoin the action on Monday against the New Orleans Pelicans. He has recovered from an injury to his shooting hand, which kept Agbaji on the sidelines for four games. Agbaji has fallen off the fantasy radar recently, but he still boasts some solid numbers for the season, with averages of 10.6 points, 3.8 rebounds, and 1.7 assists. Bruce Brown, who has been productive recently, might lose playing time to Agbaji.

Atlanta Hawks forward Zaccharie Risacher (adductor) will play on Monday night against the Timberwolves. The rookie missed the last six games because of an adductor strain and carried a questionable tag heading into this contest. But he's good to go. Under normal circumstances, his return would be good news. However, it's even better news, considering Jalen Johnson (shoulder), Trae Young (hamstring), and Dyson Daniels (ankle) are ruled out. While Risacher hasn't been a consistently reliable fantasy contributor this season, he should see more opportunities to produce alongside De'Andre Hunter (illness), Vit Krejci, and Onyeka Okongwu.
