Los Angeles Clippers small forward Kawhi Leonard (ankle) will not play Monday against the Philadelphia 76ers. Leonard last appeared for the Clippers on November 3 and is going to miss his eighth game of the season after appearing in just six. Leonard's continued absence leaves James Harden without a secondary creator in the lineup, resulting in a massive 29.5% usage rate for the 36-year-old guard. The Clippers continue to utilize point guard Kris Dunn in the starting lineup while Leonard sits. Despite the extra minutes, Dunn has struggled to carve out a role for fantasy lineups. Look for Harden to have another big night, as he is flashing signs of his prime ability as the leader of the team.

Los Angeles Clippers shooting guard Bogdan Bogdanovic (hip) is listed as questionable on the team's injury report ahead of their Monday night matchup with the Philadelphia 76ers. Bogdanovic played 35 minutes in last night's 118-121 loss to the Celtics, and the team could opt to rest him at the end of their back-to-back tonight. He has started two of the seven games he's played this season, averaging a career-low 9.7 points while shooting just 40.4% from the field. Kris Dunn and Kobe Sanders would likely be the biggest beneficiaries if the veteran sharpshooter is unable to play.

The Charlotte Hornets recalled small forward Brandon Miller (shoulder) from the G League's Greensboro Swarm on Monday. Miller continues to ramp up his practice schedule with the expectation of being back in the lineup sooner than later. The former Alabama wing has appeared in just two games this season, averaging 14.5 points and four assists in 20 minutes per game. The Hornets are hoping his return could boost a struggling lineup built around Miller, LaMelo Ball, and Miles Bridges. You should continue to monitor Miller and be ready to plug him back into your lineup upon his return.

Philadelphia 76ers center Adem Bona (ankle) is dealing with an ankle sprain and will not suit up against the Los Angeles Clippers on Monday. The 22-year-old has seen his minutes fluctuate as head coach Nick Nurse went with more of a matchup-dependent approach, but Bona's biggest fantasy contribution has been in the blocks department with 20 through 12 games. Outside of that, he's seen dips in rebounding and offensive numbers even though he's playing a similar amount of minutes. While he's out, Andre Drummond will start again with Trendon Watford, Dominick Barlow, and Jabari Walker seeing some added minutes in the frontcourt. If Drummond is available, he's by far the best streaming option with averages of 8.0 points and 8.8 rebounds per game.

New York Knicks shooting guard Miles McBride (personal) will be available Monday when the team takes on the Miami Heat. McBride has already missed a pair of games this season due to a personal matter. With Jalen Brunson (ankle) out of action, McBride could see an increased role in tonight's game. The 25-year-old guard is averaging 8.5 points, 2.5 rebounds, and 2.7 assists while playing 22.8 minutes per game. Despite the loss of Brunson, playmaking duties will still likely land with Miles Bridges and Josh Hart, so don't expect a big influx of assists on the stat sheet for McBride tonight. He should still be started in all formats Monday night.

Philadelphia 76ers forward Kelly Oubre Jr. (knee) has been diagnosed with an LCL injury in his left knee and has officially been ruled out for Monday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. There hasn't been a firm timetable announced for his return, so it seems like he'll be treated as day-to-day for the moment. Oubre has been a big part of the Sixers' early success, but with Paul George (knee) seemingly getting ready to make his debut, it could be good timing for reinforcements. If George doesn't play either, a combination of Justin Edwards, Trendon Watford, and Dominick Barlow would likely see more minutes. Edwards has been a great help for fantasy mangers looking for threes (1.6 per game), while Barlow has been better in rebounding and stock numbers.

Philadelphia 76ers forward Paul George (knee) is trending in the right direction after picking up a questionable tag for Monday's matchup with the Los Angeles Clippers. The veteran has yet to play this season as the team is taking every precaution with his rehab from knee surgery in the offseason. If he suits up, he may be under a minutes restriction, so his fantasy value wouldn't be too high right away. With Kelly Oubre Jr. (knee) ruled out, he could get the starting nod though. Otherwise, Trendon Watford and Dominick Barlow would be the next best streaming options. Head coach Nick Nurse seems to go with a hot hand approach in terms of mintues for Watford and Barlow, so it would be hard to judge which is the better one to go with in the meantime.

Detroit Pistons forward Ausar Thompson (ankle) has a chance to return from a three-game absence due to an ankle sprain. On the official injury report against the Indiana Pacers on Monday, Thompson drew a questionable tag. The dynamic wing hasn't played since their win over the Phoenix Suns on November 9, but he has seen career highs in almost every category across the board. He's averaging 13.9 points, 6.6 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 1.8 steals, and 1.4 turnovers across 29.1 minutes per game. If he remains out for a fourth consecutive game, Duncan Robinson and Ron Holland II will continue to see more opportunities. Robinson provides a bit more consistent value for fantasy managers in category leagues, but Holland produces a bit more in the stocks department.

Detroit Pistons center Jalen Duren (ankle) has been listed as probable for Monday's game against the Indiana Pacers, which would end a two-game absence if he does suit up. The former 13th-overall pick has been a dominant force in the paint this season and has been posting career high numbers through 11 games played. So far, he's registering 19.4 points, 12.0 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 1.1 steals, and 1.2 blocks across 29.0 minutes per contest. If, for some reason, he's downgraded, then Paul Reed should remain in the starting lineup and serve as a solid streaming option across all fantasy formats.

Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (hip) is still dealing with a hip contusion which has kept him out of the last two games. The team has listed him as questionable ahead of their Monday night matchup with the Indiana Pacers, so he has a chance to return to the court. Cunningham has looked like an MVP candidate to start the season as he averages 27.5 points, 9.9 assists, 5.4 rebounds, 1.4 steals, 3.6 turnovers, and 1.9 threes per game. If he's unable to suit up again, however, Daniss Jenkins will likely remain in the starting five. Jenkins has been a solid streaming option so far after putting up averages of 18.5 points, 10.0 assists, 3.5 rebounds, and 1.5 steals per game over his last two starts.

Indiana Pacers guard Bennedict Mathurin (toe) has a chance to return on Monday against the Detroit Pistons after being listed as questionable on the official injury report. The 23-year-old hasn't played since the second game of the season when he first suffered a sprain in his right great toe. With the injuries piling up for the Pacers, Mathurin should be slotted back into the starting five when he returns. In their last game, they started Andrew Nembhard with a bunch of bigs while Ben Sheppard and T.J. McConnell came off the bench. Tony Bradley would likely be the one to move to the bench if Mathurin is back, which would put him off of the fantasy radar.

Atlanta Hawks forward Zaccharie Risacher (hip) took a scary fall after a fast-break dunk during the fourth quarter of Sunday's game against the Phoenix Suns. The second-year wing nearly somersaulted and landed directly on his hip. He was able to walk off on his own, but the team ruled him out for the rest of the game with what they're calling a hip contusion. He finished with 15 points, four assists, three rebounds, two steals, and one turnover. If he has to miss some time, Vit Krejci would likely move into the starting five and could provide some three-point for fantasy managers in need of a streaming option.

Chicago Bulls' G Josh Giddey recorded a triple-double, finishing with 26 points, 13 assists and 13 rebounds in a 147-150 loss to Utah on Sunday, Nov. 16.

Utah Jazz's F Lauri Markkanen scored 47 points on 15-of-33 shooting in a 150-147 win over the Bulls on Sunday, Nov. 16.

Golden State's G Moses Moody scored 32 points on 10-of-16 shooting in a 124-106 win over New Orleans on Sunday, Nov. 16. Moody is owned in only 11.3% leagues.

Dallas Mavericks forward/center Anthony Davis (calf) won't play on Sunday versus the Trail Blazers. It's unknown how much longer AD will be off the floor. However, considering his injury history, fantasy managers shouldn't be surprised to see him miss at least a few more contests. Dereck Lively II and Daniel Gafford should continue to handle business in the middle, although both players need to pick things up before earning a consistent spot in fantasy lineups. Naji Marshall, coming off a 28-point showing, should remain more involved offensively.

Dallas Mavericks forward P.J. Washington (shoulder) will play on Sunday against Portland. He left Wednesday's loss to the Phoenix Suns because of a shoulder issue and didn't suit up on Friday for the NBA Cup meeting with the Clippers. However, now that Washington is back in the lineup, Naji Marshall will presumably head back to the bench, although he should remain involved, considering Anthony Davis (calf) will miss another game.

New Orleans Pelicans forward Zion Williamson (hamstring) remains out for Sunday's matchup with the Golden State Warriors. It appears the former Duke Blue Devil is nearing a return. However, fantasy managers will need to wait at least one more game before potentially seeing him back on the court. Jordan Poole (quadriceps) is also out, meaning there should be extra scoring opportunities for everyone, although Trey Murphy III and Jeremiah Fears may continue to lead the way offensively.

Miami Heat forward/center Bam Adebayo (toe) will remain sidelined for a sixth straight game on Monday night against the New York Knicks. The star big man hurt his left big toe in a game earlier this month. Adebayo practiced on Sunday, which may indicate that he could be ready to return soon. After hosting the Knicks, Miami's next game will be on Wednesday night against the Golden State Warriors. Kel'el Ware is looking at another start at center on Monday. He had a 15-point, 10-rebound double-double, along with three blocks, in Friday's 140-132 loss to the Knicks.

Atlanta Hawks center Kristaps Porzingis (knee) won't play on Sunday night versus the Suns. It will be his second straight absence. He's battling knee soreness. However, with Porzingis' injury history, it's hard to gauge how long he'll be off the floor. His next chance to suit up will be on Tuesday versus the visiting Pistons. As far as Sunday's contest is concerned, Onyeka Okongwu, coming off a 32-point, 11-rebound, and three-block effort in Thursday's win over the Utah Jazz, should find his way back into the starting lineup.
