Bulls will start White, Dosunmu, Brown Jr., LaVine and Vucevic on Monday.
Bulls will start White, Dosunmu, Brown Jr., LaVine and Vucevic on Monday. The news here is Nikola Vucevic is good to go after having a questionable tag. With DeMar DeRozan out, the offense should flow through Vucevic and Zach LaVine, who will play on a minute restriction.

Bojan Bogdanovic, Joe Ingles and Royce O’Neale out on Monday.
Bojan Bogdanovic, Joe Ingles and Royce O’Neale out on Monday. All three were questionable and have now been ruled out. With Donovan Mitchell and Rudy Gobert also out, this feels like a spot where the young Jazz players get extended run on this backend of a back-to-back. In theory Jordan Clarkson and Rudy Gay should all project well, but there is some risk here about their minutes. I like Hassan Whiteside in GPPs still and this news should be a boost for guys like Elijah Hughes.
As reported by: Sarah Todd Other tagged players: Joe Ingles, Royce O'Neale Deandre Ayton (ankle) out on Monday.
Deandre Ayton (ankle) out on Monday. No surprise here as Ayton was doubtful and not in projections. JaVale McGee and Bismack Biyombo will split time at center to cover his absence. Biyombo is coming off a 50 point fantasy outing and still has appeal in GPPs despite his rising price tag.
As reported by: Duane Rankin Trey Murphy III (health protocols) out Monday.
Trey Murphy III (health protocols) out Monday. There’s not much DFS impact here as we didn’t expect him to find many rotation minutes, if at all.
As reported by: Erin Summers Nikola Vucevic (knee) is a game-time decision on Monday.
Nikola Vucevic (knee) is a game-time decision on Monday.
As reported by: Jamal Collier DeMar DeRozan (rest) out Monday.
DeMar DeRozan (rest) out Monday. LaVine will be on a minutes limit while Nikola Vucevic will be a game time decision. There’s a lot of uncertainty here but there will be a lot of usage to go around depending on what happens.
As reported by: Darnell Mayberry Zach LaVine and Javonte Green will play Monday; Green expected to play 22-25 minutes and LaVine to play "more" per Coach Donovan.
Zach LaVine and Javonte Green will play Monday; Green expected to play 22-25 minutes and LaVine to play “more” per Coach Donovan.
Caris LeVert (calf) available on Monday.
Caris LeVert (calf) available on Monday. Assuming no minute restrictions, LeVert is a fantastic GPP option at potentially low ownership. CourtIQ shows that when Sabonis has been off the court this season, LeVert has averaged 1.25 fantasy points per minute.
As reported by: Bret Siegel Thunder will start Gilgeous-Alexander, Dort, Giddey, Wiggins and Robinson-Earl on Monday.
Thunder will start Gilgeous-Alexander, Dort, Giddey, Wiggins and Robinson-Earl on Monday. Wiggins starting over Darius Bazley is the surprise here, but Bazley could see more minutes than Wiggins even coming off the bench. I don’t have much interest in Wiggins even on a short slate.
As reported by: Brandon Rahbar Devonte’ Graham (ankle) available on Monday.
Devonte’ Graham (ankle) available on Monday. We were projecting Graham to be a go here and he should see additional offensive responsibilities with Brandon Ingram out tonight.
As reported by: New Orleans Pelicans Cavs will start Garland, Okoro, Wade, Mobley and Ed Davis on Monday.
Cavs will start Garland, Okoro, Wade, Mobley and Ed Davis on Monday. Davis will start for the injured Jarrett Allen, while Dean Wade will start for Lauri Markkanen. Davis will hold some punt appeal against the Knicks although our projections team isn’t expecting Davis to see huge minutes. Kevin Love is likely the better GPP option between him and Davis.
As reported by: Joe Gabriele Jarrett Allen (illness) out Monday; Rajon Rondo (hamstring) available.
Jarrett Allen (illness) out Monday; Rajon Rondo (hamstring) available. Ed Davis will start for Allen while Rondo’s return makes the second unit options slightly less appealing, specifically Cedi Osman and Dylan Windler.
As reported by: Joe Gabriele Other tagged players: Rajon Rondo Mitchell Robinson (ankle) out on Monday.
Mitchell Robinson (ankle) has been ruled out on Monday. Nerlens Noel and Taj Gibson should split time at center, with Obi Toppin likely seeing some additional run too.
As reported by: Tim Bontemps Kemba Walker (knee) expected to play on Monday; Mitchell Robinson (ankle) remains a game time decision.
Kemba Walker (knee) expected to play on Monday; Mitchell Robinson (ankle) remains a game time decision. It remains to be seen if Walker will rejoin the starting lineup or be on any minute restrictions, but my guess is he slides back into the starting lineup and pushes Alec Burks to the bench. Robinson remains questionable and a true game time call.
As reported by: Stefan Bondy Other tagged players: Mitchell Robinson Hassan Whiteside (conditioning) available on Monday.
Hassan Whiteside (conditioning) is available on Monday and no longer on the injury report. With Rudy Gobert out, Whiteside likely starts and splits time at center with Udoka Azubuike. This makes Whiteside an elite option in all formats assuming he has no restrictions for this game.
