Mike Conley (knee) ruled out; Bojan Bogdanovic (finger), Joe Ingles (ankle) and Royce O'Neale (knee) questionable on Monday.
Mike Conley (knee) ruled out; Bojan Bogdanovic (finger), Joe Ingles (ankle) and Royce O’Neale (knee) questionable on Monday. This is on top of Rudy Gobert and Donovan Mitchell already being ruled out. This likely leads to Jared Butler drawing a spot start if the Jazz choose to keep Jordan Clarkson off the bench as their main 6th main. The Bogdanovic, Ingles and O’Neale questionable tags makes things trickier as that could lead to more minutes for all of Danuel House, Trent Forrest and Elijah Hughes but we’ll have to wait and see what they choose to do.

Rudy Gobert (calf) out on Monday.
Rudy Gobert (calf) has been ruled out on Monday. This comes as no surprise as Gobert suffered the injury last night and our projections team has already accounted for this by not including him in projections. We’re expecting Hassan Whiteside to draw the start, but Whiteside himself remains questionable. With this being the last game of the night, it will be important to have pivots and 2v2 swaps available in case news comes out after lock.
As reported by: Tim MacMahon Jarrett Allen (illness) questionable on Monday.
Jarrett Allen (illness) has been downgraded to questionable on Monday against the Knicks. Kevin Love would be a candidate to draw a spot start should Allen miss this game. The Cavs could also use Ed Davis in a spot start if they wanted to keep Love in his reserve role. Davis has made two starts this season and averaged 26 minutes in those starts. Keep in mind Lauri Markkanen is also already out for Cleveland. CourtIQ shows us that when all of Allen, Ricky Rubio, Collin Sexton and Lauri Markkanen have been off the court this season, Evan Mobley and Kevin Love have averaged around 1.06 fantasy points per minute, while Evan Mobley and Cedi Osman have seen team high +4% usage bumps.
As reported by: NBA Injury Report Zach LaVine (knee), Javonte Green (adductor) and Nikola Vucevic (knee) all questionable on Monday.
Zach LaVine (knee), Javonte Green (adductor) and Nikola Vucevic (knee) all questionable on Monday. LaVine and Green are planning to meet the team on the road so they will be true game-time calls, which would help boost this offense that’s missing Lonzo Ball and Alex Cauruso. The questionable tag for Nikola Vucevic is a big concern considering he played 30 minutes last night. Should he miss this game, Tony Bradley could be in for a spot start.
As reported by: NBA Injury Report Other tagged players: Nikola Vucevic, Javonte Green Kemba Walker (knee) and Mitchell Robinson (ankle) questionable; Nerlens Noel (knee) probable on Monday.
Kemba Walker (knee) and Mitchell Robinson (ankle) questionable; Nerlens Noel (knee) probable on Monday. If Robinson can’t go, we should see Noel start with Taj Gibson backing him up and Obi Toppin seeing more bench run. If Walker can’t go, Alec Burks should continue to start while Quentin Grimes could see more minutes off the bench after playing 20 minutes yesterday. Cam Reddish strangely only played 5 minutes yesterday but one would think if Walker can’t go, there would be more playing time for him assuming he’s healthy.

As reported by: Rod Beard Bones Hyland (illness) ruled out Sunday
Bones Hyland (illness) has been ruled out for Sunday’s game against the Detroit Pistons. Hyland was a late scratch due to an illness after not appearing on the injury report earlier in the day. With Hyland out, the bench guard minutes should be split between Facundo Campazzo and Bryn Forbes making them better plays, though they are still not expected to be worth considering in DFS contests at this time.
As reported by: Harrison Wind Markus Howard (illness) ruled out Sunday
Markus Howard (illness) has been ruled out for Sunday’s game against the Detroit Pistons. Howard’s absence will not be DFS relevant as he is currently out of the rotation.
As reported by: Harrison Wind Steven Adams (ankle) available to play Sunday; Brandon Clarke (back) ruled out
Steven Adams (ankle) will be available to play Sunday against the Dallas Mavericks, while Brandon Clarke (back) has been ruled out. Adams should start and see his normal run, somewhere in the mid to high 20s. With Clarke ruled out Jaren Jackson, Killian Tillie, and Santi Aldama should all see more minutes.

As reported by: Utah Jazz Other tagged players: Bojan Bogdanovic, Trent Forrest, Hassan Whiteside Klay Thompson (knee) ruled out Sunday
Klay Thompson (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday’s game against the Utah Jazz. Thompson is still working himself back into game shape and will sit out tonight with a little soreness. Thompson’s minutes will likely be spread across all rotation members with no true winner. All Warriors should see a slight bump in expected production.
As reported by: Eric Walden Killian Hayes (hip) will play Sunday, will have minutes monitored
Killian Hayes (hip) will play Sunday against the Denver Nuggets but will have his minutes monitored. Killian Hayes will make his return from a hip injury but HC Dwayne Casey said that they plan on not rushing Hayes back. Hayes could return to the starting lineup tonight but Cory Joseph should continue to see some increased run as the backup point guard.

As reported by: Charlotte Hornets Patrick Beverley (ankle) ruled out Sunday
Patrick Beverley (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday’s game against the Brooklyn Nets. Malik Beasley and Jaden McDaniels seem like the most likely candidates to enter the starting lineup for the Timberwolves with D’Angelo Russell likely to take over running point. Jaylen Nowell should handle the backup point guard duties.
