Los Angeles Lakers guard Luka Doncic (calf) will play on Monday night versus the Jazz. It will be his first time back on the floor since injuring his calf during the Mavs' Christmas Day loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves. It will also be his first time in a Lakers uniform after averaging 28.6 points, 8.7 rebounds, 8.3 assists, and 1.2 steals in 422 regular-season appearances for the Mavericks. Head coach JJ Redick indicated a minutes cap for the multi-time All-Star, meaning Gabe Vincent, Austin Reaves (elbow), and LeBron James (ankle) may continue to spend time at the one. But that shouldn't stop fantasy managers from starting Doncic in all formats.

Phoenix Suns guard Grayson Allen (knee) is listed as probable for Tuesday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. After missing one game due to left knee soreness, Allen is expected to return to action. His production has been somewhat inconsistent, but he continues to play significant minutes. In his most recent game, Allen posted an impressive 21 points, seven rebounds, and six assists against Utah. The Suns will continue to rely on him to provide scoring and knock down shots from the perimeter.

Phoenix Suns guard Bradley Beal (toe) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies due to left toe soreness. Beal will miss his third straight game, and with his injury history, it's been tough for fantasy managers to rely on his consistency. However, when healthy, he has been productive, averaging 17.4 points per game and shooting 40.1% from three-point range. With Beal sidelined, Devin Booker, Tyus Jones, and Ryan Dunn will be asked to take on bigger roles in the backcourt, and the return of Kevin Durant should help shoulder the offensive load. Beal's next chance to return will be Wednesday against the Houston Rockets.

Phoenix Suns forward Kevin Durant (ankle) is set to return to action in Tuesday's matchup against the Memphis Grizzlies. He is not listed on the injury report after missing three games with a left ankle sprain. Ryan Dunn or Royce O'Neale will have to give up a starting spot for Durant, who produced a full line in his first meeting with the Grizzlies this season. The veteran star tallied a team-high 29 points with 10 rebounds, six assists, one steal, and two blocks in a 117-112 loss on New Year's Eve.

Denver Nuggets forward/center Aaron Gordon (calf) has been upgraded to available for Monday's meeting with the Portland Trail Blazers. The 29-year-old continues to manage a calf injury, having initially been listed as probable on the injury report. Fantasy managers have not received full value from Gordon lately, as he has played only 47 total minutes over the last two games. For the month, he has averaged 27.0 minutes, recording 8.3 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 6.3 assists.

Denver Nuggets point guard Jamal Murray (knee) will play on Monday against the Portland Trail Blazers. Murray skipped one game in a back-to-back situation last week but has been cleared for action on Monday after initially carrying a probable tag. Following a rest day on Thursday against the Orlando Magic, Murray fired in 30 points with six treys in Saturday's victory over the Phoenix Suns. He was also in fine form when Denver faced Portland for the first time this season, bagging a double-double with 24 points and 10 assists.

New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby (foot) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Indiana Pacers. Anunoby had initially been expected to miss time through the All-Star break due to a right foot sprain, but the questionable tag suggests there's a chance he could return earlier than anticipated. If Anunoby is ultimately sidelined, Precious Achiuwa is likely to see extended minutes, as he's played 30+ minutes in each of the last three games.

Denver Nuggets forward Michael Porter Jr. (hamstring) has been ruled out for Monday's matchup against the Portland Trail Blazers. He will miss a second straight game due to tightness in his left hamstring. Julian Strawther will likely continue to receive a lot of extra work without Porter Jr. He produced 18 points and grabbed six rebounds in 39 minutes when Porter Jr. exited the lineup on Saturday against the Phoenix Suns. Porter Jr.'s next opportunity to return will come in a rematch versus the Trail Blazers on Wednesday.

Portland Trail Blazers center Robert Williams III (knee) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Denver Nuggets. Williams III was initially listed as questionable on the injury report after he hurt his right knee on Saturday against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Donovan Clingan is expected to see an increase in playing time with Williams III unavailable. However, he probably won't have a significant impact in fantasy basketball, as starting center Deandre Ayton is healthy and ready to take on his usual workload.

New York Knicks guard Josh Hart (knee) is listed as probable for Tuesday's game against the Indiana Pacers. Hart has been frequently on the injury report but has still managed to log heavy minutes, averaging 37.5 minutes per game this season. He's been putting up strong numbers across the board, averaging 14.4 points, 9.6 rebounds, and 5.7 assists. Recently, he recorded a triple-double against the Lakers with 26 points, 13 rebounds, and 11 assists, showcasing his all-around talent. Fantasy managers can expect him to play a significant role again if he takes the court.

Portland Trail Blazers forward Kris Murray (quadriceps) will not be in the lineup for Monday's tilt against the Denver Nuggets. He has been downgraded from questionable to out, as Murray has failed to recover from a quadriceps contusion. With Jerami Grant (knee) also out, Jabari Walker may find himself in a significant role after playing only a handful of minutes over the past two contests. However, Walker is not a reliable source of fantasy value.

Dallas Mavericks forward/center Anthony Davis (adductor) is expected to miss "multiple weeks," ESPN's Shams Charania and Tim MacMahon report. His absence may extend to even a month. Fortunately for the Mavericks, Davis was injured only a week before the All-Star break, but he is still set to miss significant time. Davis has joined Dereck Lively II (ankle) on the sidelines. On Monday against the Sacramento Kings, the frontcourt will also be missing P.J. Washington (ankle), leaving Daniel Gafford with a heavy workload.

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (injury management) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Toronto Raptors. Given the back-to-back schedule, it's possible the 76ers will rest Embiid for one of the two games. Embiid's health is never a guarantee, so fantasy managers should prepare for the possibility of him sitting out on Tuesday. If that happens, Andre Drummond and Guerschon Yabusele could see more minutes and be worth a look in daily lineups.

Portland Trail Blazers forward Jerami Grant (knee) will not suit up against the Denver Nuggets on Monday. He will miss the meeting with his former team due to a sore right knee. Scoot Henderson is expected to slide into the starting unit in Grant's absence. The second-year player has done very well in his previous eight starts this season, averaging 17.5 points, 3.5 rebounds, 7.3 assists, and 1.3 steals with 43.5 percent three-point shooting.

Toronto Raptors center Jakob Poeltl (hip) will not play in Tuesday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers, marking his fourth straight absence. Fantasy managers have certainly felt the loss of Poeltl, who has been a reliable double-double machine this season, averaging 14.2 points and 10.1 rebounds per game. With Poeltl sidelined, Jonathan Mogbo and Orlando Robinson could see additional opportunities in the frontcourt.

Dallas Mavericks guard Dante Exum (Achilles) will play against the Sacramento Kings on Monday. He has shaken off a questionable tag to make his sixth consecutive appearance. Exum's season debut was delayed until Jan. 31. Since joining the lineup, he has averaged 10.0 points and 3.2 assists in 19.2 minutes. Following three consecutive starts, Exum was back on the bench on Saturday against the Houston Rockets and had a quiet four-point outing. He will aim to bounce back on Monday against a team with the 20th defensive rating in the league.

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.
