Victor Oladipo will be on a hard minutes restriction on Monday of “around 15 minutes.” Given the minute restriction I have no interest in Oladipo.

Kyle Lowry (personal), Victor Oladipo (knee) and Caleb Martin (Achilles) all expected to play on Monday.
Kyle Lowry (personal), Victor Oladipo (knee) and Caleb Martin (Achilles) all expected to play on Monday. Coach Spo says they will all warm up with the intention of playing. It’s an elite matchup against the Rockets but this makes the team extremely tough to target given so many healthy bodies now. I’d reserve the Heat for GPPs.
As reported by: Ira Winderman Other tagged players: Victor Oladipo, Caleb Martin Nikola Vucevic (hamstring) a game-time decision on Monday.
Nikola Vucevic (hamstring) a game-time decision on Monday. Vuc will go through his pre-game routine and will make a final call closer to lock.
As reported by: KC Johnson Kevin Huerter (shoulder) out on Monday.
Kevin Huerter (shoulder) out on Monday. It’s unclear who will draw the start in his place but Bogdan Bogdanovic is the likely replacement. This season with Huerter off the court, Bogdanovic has seen a +1.5% usage increase.

Hamidou Diallo (illness) out on Monday.
Hamidou Diallo (illness) out on Monday. This isn’t surprising as he was already doubtful. His absence should open up some more usage in the second unit for guys like Marvin Bagley.
As reported by: NBA Injury Report Jeremy Lamb (hip) and Moe Harkless (ankle) out on Monday.
Jeremy Lamb (hip) and Moe Harkless (ankle) out on Monday. That might gives guys like Chimezie Metu and Davion Mitchell a bit more responsibility in the second unit. Donte DiVincenzo might be the biggest winner here as he played 34 minutes last game as the team’s 6th man.
As reported by: NBA Injury Report Other tagged players: Maurice Harkless Taj Gibson (illness) questionable on Monday; Nerlens Noel (foot) and Obi Toppin (hamstring) out.
Taj Gibson (illness) questionable on Monday; Nerlens Noel (foot) and Obi Toppin (hamstring) out. This isn’t too impactful, but it should give Mitchell Robinson a safer floor while Jericho Sims could still operate as the backup center whether Gibson suits up or not.
As reported by: NBA Injury Report Other tagged players: Nerlens Noel, Obi Toppin Otto Porter (illness) and Juan Toscano-Anderson (illness) both questionable on Monday.
Otto Porter (illness) and Juan Toscano-Anderson (illness) both questionable on Monday. Welp, this is concerning. The Warriors are already down to 10 bodies and if both can’t suit up, we’d be looking at the minimum of 8. Stay tuned here as this could mean massive minutes for guys like Moses Moody and Jonathan Kuminga.
As reported by: NBA Injury Report Other tagged players: Juan Toscano-Anderson Will Barton (ankle) questionable on Monday.
Will Barton (ankle) questionable on Monday. Barton left Sunday’s game early with an ankle injury and appears to be truly questionable. If he can’t suit up, we could see a spot start by someone like Austin Rivers.
As reported by: Harrison Wind Rudy Gobert (calf) questionable on Monday.
Rudy Gobert (calf) questionable on Monday. If Gobert can’t suit up, we’re likely looking at Hassan Whiteside making a spot start.
As reported by: Sarah Todd D'Angelo Russell (hamstring) questionable on Monday.
D’Angelo Russell (hamstring) questionable on Monday. If Russell can’t suit up, that’s going to open up a ton of usage for Karl-Anthony Towns as Anthony Edwards is also out. It’s a very tiny sample of 42.8 minutes, but when both Russell and Edwards have been off the court this season, KAT has averaged 1.92 fantasy points per minute. KAT would receive a big boost here if Russell can’t go.
As reported by: Timberwolves PR Elijah Hughes (illness) and Greg Brown III (illness) available on Monday.
Elijah Hughes (illness) and Greg Brown III (illness) available on Monday.
As reported by: Jamie Hudson Other tagged players: Greg Brown Paul Millsap (personal) out on Monday.
Paul Millsap (personal) out on Monday. With DeAndre Jordan signed, it’s likely Jordan slides into Millsap’s small role and takes his minutes. There’s no DFS impact here.
As reported by: NBA Injury Report Kyle Lowry (personal) now questionable on Monday.
Kyle Lowry (personal) now questionable on Monday. If Lowry does return, he’ll shift Gabe Vincent back to the bench. The Heat are also expected to have Victor Oladipo, so the team is suddenly getting crowded and messier from a DFS perspective.
As reported by: Ira Winderman Maxi Kleber (ankle) now probable on Monday; Jalen Brunson (foot) and Frank Ntilikina (illness) ruled out.
Maxi Kleber (ankle) now probable on Monday; Jalen Brunson (foot) and Frank Ntilikina (illness) ruled out. With Brunson out, that’s likely going to shift one of Spencer Dinwiddie or Josh Green into the starting lineup (our team is leaning Green with the start).
