Dallas Mavericks guard/forward Max Christie (shoulder) will be in the lineup on Monday against the Sacramento Kings. Christie was initially regarded as questionable for the game due to a shoulder sprain. This will be Christie's fourth appearance as a Maverick. He has looked great over his first few outings, averaging 17.7 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 3.0 assists. With P.J. Washington (ankle) joining Anthony Davis (adductor) on the sidelines, Christie may be asked to do a bit more offensively on Monday night.

Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry (quadriceps) will play on Monday against the Bucks. The multi-time All-Star amassed 34 points while shooting 50% from behind the arc on Saturday versus the Bulls, his first game playing alongside Jimmy Butler. He popped up on the injury report because of quad soreness, although it won't be enough to keep him off the floor. Without question, Curry could benefit from a statistical standpoint with Butler as his teammate, assuming the latter can remain off the injury report.

Milwaukee Bucks point guard Damian Lillard (hamstring) will play in Monday's matchup against the Golden State Warriors. Following his big 43-point performance in 44 minutes on Sunday against the Philadelphia 76ers, Lillard was initially considered questionable for Monday's game. Lillard should be the focal point of the Bucks offense again, with Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) on the shelf. Since Antetokounmpo's exit from the lineup, Lillard has averaged 31.7 points, 6.7 rebounds, 10.0 assists, and 1.3 steals.

Milwaukee Bucks center Brook Lopez (shoulder) will play on Monday versus the Warriors. The veteran didn't suit up for the February 3 loss to OKC, his first absence of the 2024-25 campaign. But despite appearing on the injury report ahead of Milwaukee's previous three games, Lopez has been out there. That trend will continue on Monday against Golden State. With Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) out of commission for a few weeks, Lopez might see a bump in production, which could last until The Greek Freak is back on the floor.

Dallas Mavericks forward P.J. Washington (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's contest against the Sacramento Kings. With the team initially listing him as questionable for the game, there was hope that Washington could remain in the lineup after suffering an ankle sprain over the weekend against the Houston Rockets. However, Dallas has now downgraded him to out. Naji Marshall, Olivier-Maxence Prosper, and Kessler Edwards may land more significant roles in the rotation with Washington out. However, only Marshall has provided consistent fantasy value among these three players.

Charlotte Hornets center Moussa Diabate (eye) will make a third consecutive start on Monday against the Brooklyn Nets. He injured his right eye in Sunday's matchup against the Detroit Pistons, exiting the action after logging only seven minutes. Charlotte initially listed Diabate as questionable for Monday night, but he has now been upgraded to available. The 23-year-old Michigan product has impressed in recent outings but may lose playing time to Jusuf Nurkic, who is available to make his Hornets debut on Monday.

Charlotte Hornets guard/forward Josh Green (calf) will rejoin the lineup on Monday against the Brooklyn Nets. Green has missed two games with calf tightness. Before exiting the lineup, Green was having his best spell of the season. He has scored 10-plus points in five of his past seven appearances. Green averages 7.5 points for the year, so he has had a significant bump in production. However, in this season's first matchup against the Nets, he was limited to just three points in 25 minutes, and Green certainly isn't a player fantasy managers can depend on to get the job done each night.

Minnesota Timberwolves guardMike Conley(finger) is unavailable for Monday's matchup with the Cleveland Cavaliers. Due to a right finger sprain, Conley will be sidelined for the second consecutive contest. Rob Dillingham was inserted into the starting lineup on Saturday against Portland in place of Conley and posted eight points, six assists, and two steals in 23 minutes on the floor. With Conley still out, Dillingham will likely remain at the one. However, this evening, Anthony Edwards (hip) return could significantly cap the rookie's fantasy potential.

Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela (undisclosed) will be inactive against the Orlando Magic on Monday. This will be the second straight game with Capela inactive while not appearing on the injury report. Overall, he will be out for an eighth consecutive game, as Capela recently battled back spasms. Onyeka Okongwu has taken over the starting gig at center, with Larry Nance Jr., Dominick Barlow, and Mouhamed Gueye providing cover for him. The latter will start Monday's contest alongside Okongwu.

Boston Celtics forward/center Kristaps Porzingis (illness) is set to return to action in Monday's matchup against the Miami Heat. Porzingis was a last-minute scratch on Saturday against the New York Knicks due to an illness, but he has made a swift recovery. The Celtics have recently seen a decline in Porzingis' production due to his poor three-point shooting. He has hit only 31.1 percent from beyond the arc this month, averaging 18.0 points. Porzingis might see some extra offensive touches on Monday since Boston will be without Jaylen Brown (knee).

Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Anthony Edwards (hip) is ready to go Monday against the Cleveland Cavaliers. The team has upgraded Edwards from questionable to available. The Timberwolves star returns to action after missing one game. Nickeil Alexander-Walker filled in for Edwards in the starting unit on Saturday against the Portland Trail Blazers and will remain part of the starting five with Mike Conley (finger) out. Edwards finished this season's first clash against the Cavaliers with 28 points on 4-for-9 shooting from deep.

Boston Celtics guard/forward Jaylen Brown (knee) has been ruled out for Monday's meeting with the Miami Heat. The reigning Finals MVP is experiencing swelling in his right knee and has been downgraded from questionable to out. With Jrue Holiday (shoulder) also sidelined, Payton Pritchard and Sam Hauser receive more playing opportunities. Following a quiet spell, Pritchard has enjoyed two consecutive 20-point outings. He filled it up with 25 points in this season's first clash against the Heat.

Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum (knee) will play against the Miami Heat on Monday. The Celtics star missed Monday's shootaround and was listed as questionable on the injury report, but the team has upgraded him to available. With Jaylen Brown (knee) not ready to play, Tatum will take on an increased offensive responsibility. He is coming off an incredible performance after scoring 40 points with seven three-pointers in the previous game against the New York Knicks.

According to Serena Winters of FanDuel Sports Network Ohio, Cleveland Cavaliers forward Max Strus (ankle) will be unavailable for Monday's matchup with the Minnesota Timberwolves. Strus was added to the injury report due to soreness in his right ankle. If the 28-year-old's ankle injury keeps him out of action for an extended period, newcomer De'Andre Hunter could be inserted into the Cavs' starting lineup. Fantasy managers should keep an eye on Hunter, as he averaged 17.8 points and 3.8 rebounds across 31.4 minutes per game in his last 10 outings before being traded from Atlanta.

Miami Heat forward Nikola Jovic (ankle) is available for Monday's game against the Boston Celtics. He has been thriving in February, posting two 20-point performances and averaging 16.3 points, 3.8 rebounds, and 4.3 assists while shooting an impressive 62.2% from the field in four games this month. Jovic has played at least 25 minutes in each of those contests and continues to be a key piece for Miami. With his expanded role, he has emerged as a strong fantasy option.

Atlanta Hawks point guard Trae Young (Achilles) will be active against the Orlando Magic on Monday night. The Hawks star has once again shaken off a probable tag. Young has been on fire lately and has just been named to the All-Star Game as an injury replacement, so he'll head into Monday's matchup with great momentum. Over the last five games, Young has averaged 31.8 points and 11.8 assists while sinking 19 three-pointers.

Brooklyn Nets point guard D'Angelo Russell (illness) is good to go for Monday's matchup against the Charlotte Hornets. Due to an illness, Russell was initially regarded as questionable for the game before Brooklyn upgraded his status to available. Russell has blown hot and cold lately, but his overall numbers with the Nets have been solid. Since rejoining the team on Dec. 29, Russel has notched 14.2 points, 6.1 assists, and 1.4 steals in 24.4 minutes.

Miami Heat forward Andrew Wiggins is not on the injury report on Monday, suggesting he is ready to make his team debut against the Boston Celtics. Kyle Anderson, who came over from Golden State alongside him in the Jimmy Butler trade, will also be available to make his first Heat appearance. Wiggins should remain a regular starter in Miami and may get to play a big role right away on Monday night, as the Heat's top scorer, Tyler Herro (illness), has been ruled out for the game.

Orlando Magic guard Jalen Suggs (quadriceps) is not ready to return to the lineup on Monday against the Atlanta Hawks. Orlando has ruled him out for the contest after initially giving Suggs a doubtful designation. This will be Suggs' eighth consecutive absence. Cole Anthony has boosted his productivity without Suggs and is in line for a fourth consecutive start. Over his previous 11 starts this season, Anthony has averaged 15.3 points, 4.1 rebounds, 3.4 assists, and 1.2 steals.

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Isaiah Joe (knee) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans due to right knee soreness. Joe has been a streaky contributor, recently posting a three-game stretch with 12 or more points before cooling off with just three points in his last outing. He plays a key depth role for the Thunder, and his absence could lead to increased minutes for Alex Caruso and Aaron Wiggins off the bench.
