Orlando Magic guard Jalen Suggs (groin) is on the injury report as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Golden State Warriors. After recovering from offseason knee surgery, Suggs has recently dealt with right groin soreness, and the issue might keep him sidelined for a second consecutive game. With Suggs out of commission, Anthony Black made his third start of the season in Sunday's overtime loss to the Houston Rockets. The 21-year-old has boosted his productivity to 15.3 points and 2.7 assists in a starting role. Golden State allows the seventh-most points and eighth-most assists to point guards this season, giving Black a good opportunity to impress if he keeps hold of a larger role on Tuesday.

Chicago Bulls guard/forward Ayo Dosunmu (hamstring) will be in the lineup on Monday against the Denver Nuggets but will be on a minutes restriction, K.C. Johnson of Chicago Sports Network reports. After he played 26 minutes in Sunday's double-overtime loss, Dosunmu was listed as probable on the initial injury report. While it's great news that Dosunmu can play despite dealing with hamstring tightness, his minutes restriction means fantasy managers won't get full value from him. For the season, Dosunmu has averaged 25.4 minutes per game, recording 15.2 points, 2.4 rebounds, and 3.2 assists.

Orlando Magic forward Paolo Banchero (groin) will remain sidelined for a third consecutive game on Tuesday against the Golden State Warriors. The 2024 All-Star continues to nurse a left groin strain, with his next chance to return coming on Thursday against the Los Angeles Clippers. In Banchero's absence, Tristan da Silva is poised to remain in the first unit on Tuesday night. He has played well as a starter, averaging 17.5 points, 7.5 rebounds, and 1.5 steals in the previous two games. Tuesday's game marks a pace-up spot for the Magic, making it a good fantasy matchup for da Silva.

Chicago Bulls point guard Tre Jones (ankle) will miss a second consecutive game on Monday against the Denver Nuggets, Joel Lorenzi of The Athletic reports. This was expected after the team listed him as doubtful on the initial injury report. Jones' next chance for a comeback will come on Wednesday night against the Portland Trail Blazers. However, he was reportedly still feeling discomfort in his left ankle during a workout on Monday, so fantasy managers definitely shouldn't bet on Jones returning for that game. With Coby White (calf) also on the shelf against Denver, Josh Giddey and Jevon Carter will take care of the playmaking.

New Orleans Pelicans forward Saddiq Bey (ankle) won't play on Monday against OKC. He was a late addition to the injury report, so fantasy managers will now wait and see if he can play on Wednesday versus the Denver Nuggets. With Zion Williamson (hamstring) out as well, Karlo Matkovic, who had four points, three boards, and two steals in Sunday's loss to the Golden State Warriors, may work his way into the starting lineup.

Toronto Raptors forward Jamison Battle (knee) has been upgraded to available for Monday's contest against the Charlotte Hornets. He is ready to re-enter the lineup after missing Saturday's win over the Indiana Pacers due to a back problem. With that said, Battle has only averaged 7.3 minutes per game for the Raptors this season and doesn't hold significant fantasy value. He has posted 4.1 points and 1.1 rebounds per game across 10 outings. Sandro Mamukelashvili has led the Raptors bench this season, notching 9.6 points, 3.6 rebounds, and 1.9 assists in 18.1 minutes.

New Orleans Pelicans forward Zion Williamson (hamstring) won't play on Monday versus OKC. The 25-year-old has bounced around injury designations over the last few games. However, he'll now miss a seventh consecutive game Monday night. At this point, it's hard to say exactly how much longer Williamson will remain on the shelf, although fantasy managers will keep their fingers crossed that he'll be healthy enough to return on Wednesday against the Denver Nuggets. Saddiq Bey (ankle) is also sidelined, so managers may see more minutes from Karlo Matkovic, who had four points, three boards, and two steals in Sunday's loss to Golden State.

Toronto Raptors guard/forward Ochai Agbaji (back) has been ruled out for a fourth straight game on Monday against the Charlotte Hornets. Entering Monday, Agbaji was considered questionable for the game. However, he was downgraded to doubtful during the day and has now been officially ruled out. Agbaji's next opportunity to return will be on Wednesday against the Philadelphia 76ers. With him still out, Gradey Dick and Ja'Kobe Walter will continue to have slightly more important roles in the rotation. However, neither player has offered much fantasy value this term.

Detroit Pistons center Jalen Duren (ankle) will be back from a two-game absence on Monday against the Indiana Pacers. He has recovered from a right ankle sprain, giving Detroit back one of its big guns. Unfortunately, Cade Cunningham (hip) and Ausar Thompson (ankle) still need more time to recover from their injuries. Duren has averaged 19.4 points and 12.0 rebounds this season. He could feast against a Pacers team that has allowed the sixth-most points and fourth-most rebounds in the league to opposing centers this season.

Detroit Pistons guard/forward Ausar Thompson (ankle) will remain out on Monday against the Indiana Pacers, missing a fourth straight game. Thompson appeared to have been trending toward a return when he participated in Monday's shootaround, but he will miss at least one more game, with the team downgrading Thompson's status from questionable to out. Detroit is also scheduled to play on Tuesday against the Atlanta Hawks, giving Thompson another chance to return. With him out, Ron Holland II and Javonte Green see more action in the rotation.

Detroit Pistons point guard Cade Cunningham (hip) will miss a third straight game on Monday against the Indiana Pacers. Cunningham was originally listed as questionable for the game, but the Pistons have downgraded his status to out. It's possible the team wants to give its star player an extra day to recover, with another game scheduled for Tuesday night against the Atlanta Hawks. Cunningham's absence means that the Daniss Jenkins train will keep rolling on Monday night. The two-way player has turned a lot of heads lately, averaging 20.3 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 7.7 assists over the past three games.

Law Murray of The Athletic reports that Los Angeles Clippers forward Bogdan Bogdanovic (hip) will be available to suit up against the Philadelphia 76ers on Monday. Bogdanovic was considered questionable due to a hip injury, but he will play in the second half of the Clippers' back-to-back set. Across seven games this campaign, the 33-year-old veteran wing has averaged 16.0 points, 3.5 rebounds, 3.0 assists, and 2.0 steals in 36.0 minutes per contest. With Kawhi Leonard(ankle) andDerrick Jones(knee)out of action this evening, Bogdanovic could be a viable fantasy option, as he will see plenty of extra minutes and scoring opportunities in Philadelphia.

Chicago Bulls guard Coby White (calf) will miss Monday's contest against the Denver Nuggets. He will skip the second leg of a back-to-back after making his season debut in Sunday's double-overtime loss to the Utah Jazz. White entered the game with a 24-minute restriction, but he ended up logging 30 minutes of action as the contest needed two extra frames to decide the winner. Despite shooting 5-for-14 from the field, White nearly had a 30-point double-double in his first outing of the season. He finished with 27 points and eight assists. White's absence on Monday will boost the fantasy value of Kevin Huerter and Ayo Dosunmu (hamstring). The latter is expected to play despite being on the injury report with hamstring tightness.

San Antonio Spurs center Victor Wembanyama (calf) is set to miss several weeks of action. ESPN's Shams Charania reports that Wembanyama will be out for a "few weeks" due to a left calf strain. The French superstar missed his first game of the season on Sunday against the Sacramento Kings. A source told ESPN that Wembanyama will be re-evaluated in 2-3 weeks. Luke Kornet started at center on Sunday and is likely to benefit the most from Wembanyama's absence, although fantasy managers can also expect to see more of Kelly Olynyk and Bismack Biyombo during the upcoming weeks.

Milwaukee Bucks forward/center Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) will play on Monday against the Cleveland Cavaliers, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports. A left knee problem keeps Antetokounmpo on the injury report, but Bucks head coach Doc Rivers has confirmed that he will play against Cleveland. The knee issue hasn't really affected Antetokounmpo, as he is averaging 32.6 points, 11.3 rebounds, 7.1 assists, and 1.3 blocks in 33.4 minutes. The Cavaliers didn't know what to do against Antetokounmpo in this season's first meeting. The former MVP missed a 40-point triple-double by only one assist, going 14-for-20 from he field and 11-for-16 at the charity stripe.

Indiana Pacers guard/forward Bennedict Mathurin (toe) will return from an 11-game absence on Monday against the Detroit Pistons. Mathurin played in the first two games of the season before being sidelined by a toe sprain. He was on fire to start the year, posting 31.0 points per game with 50 percent shooting from three-point range. On Monday, Mathurin should also be heavily involved in the offense, although he might be under a minutes restriction after his multi-week absence. Mathurin's return will likely impact the playing time of Jeremiah Robinson-Earl, Jarace Walker, and Ben Sheppard.

ESPN's Shams Charania reports Monday that Los Angeles Clippers forwardDerrick Jones Jr.(knee)suffered a sprained MCL in his right knee and will be re-evaluated in six weeks. Jones' injury occurred during Sunday's 121-118 loss to the Celtics. Before the setback, the 28-year-old was averaging a career high of 10.9 points per contest. He was also in the team's starting five through 13 outings, producing 2.4 rebounds, 1.2 blocks, and 1.1 assists across 24.9 minutes per game. With Jones out for the foreseeable future, expect veterans Nicolas Batum, Bogdan Bogdanovic(hip) and 23-year-old Kobe Sanders to see expanded roles on the floor.

Dallas Mavericks center Anthony Davis (calf) remains out for Monday's game versus the Minnesota Timberwolves. He appeared in five contests to begin the 2025 campaign, averaging 20.8 points, 10.2 rebounds, 1.2 blocks, and 1.6 steals. Unfortunately, AD has been plagued by a calf injury, keeping him off the floor for Dallas' last nine games. It's unknown when Davis will be back in the lineup. However, with Daniel Gafford (Ankle, injury management) and Dereck Lively II (right knee, injury management) also ruled out, Moussa Cisse should see more action on Monday night.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Darius Garland (toe) remains out for Monday's Central Division showdown with the Milwaukee Bucks. He wasn't available for the first seven games to begin the 2025 campaign. However, after returning and appearing in a few contests, he re-aggravated the injury during the November 10 meeting with the Miami Heat and has now missed the last three games. According to head coach Kenny Atkinson, the 26-year-old is moving in a positive direction. Unfortunately, it appears it may take him some more time before he's ready to return to the floor. While Garland is on the shelf, Sam Merrill, coming off a 13-point showing, is expected to remain in the starting lineup.

According to Alan Horton of the Timberwolves Radio Network, Dallas Mavericks center Daniel Gafford (ankle) is unavailable for Monday's matchup with the Minnesota Timberwolves. The 27-year-old recently returned to the team's rotation after recovering from an ankle injury. However, he will sit out the second half of a back-to-back to rest. With Dereck Lively II(knee) also ruled out, the Mavs frontcourt will need 23-year-old big man Moussa Cisse to step up. Cisse will see more playing time than usual, but he isn't a viable fantasy option going into Monday's contest.
