Jeremy Lamb (knee) ruled out Monday
Jeremy Lamb (knee) has been ruled out for Monday’s game against the Los Angeles Clippers. Even with Brogdon ruled out earlier in the day Lamb was not expected to play a major role for Indiana. His bench minutes will likely be absorbed by the rest of the Pacers wings with no single beneficiary. The primary candidates to absorb these minutes are Torrey Craig, Lance Stephenson, and Duane Washington who should all see a slight increase in expected production.

As reported by: Billy Reinhardt Deandre Ayton (ankle) ruled out Monday; Cam Johnson (ankle) probable
Deandre Ayton (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday’s game against the San Antonio Spurs, while Cam Johnson (ankle) is probable. Ayton suffered an ankle injury last game and will be unable to suit up for tonight’s contest. With Ayton out, Javale McGee will likely enter the starting lineup and play a good chunk of the center minutes with Jalen Smith and Bismack Biyombo available to back him up off the bench. McGee should be considered in all formats as he projects to be one of the top value plays on the entire slate. Cam Johnson seems set to make his return after dealing with an ankle injury and should slot back into his role as one of the top contributors off the bench. His return could cut into the minutes of Jae Crowder and Mikal Bridges, hurting their value.
Other tagged players: Cameron Johnson Malcolm Brogdon (Achilles) ruled out Monday
Malcolm Brogdon (Achilles) has been ruled out for Monday’s game against the Los Angeles Clippers. With Brogdon once again out, Keifer Sykes could remain in the starting lineup and see minutes in the high teens. Caris LeVert and Lance Stephenson should also shoulder more of the ballhandling duties for the Pacers while Brogdon remains out. Chris Duarte, Torrey Craig, and Jeremy Lamb (if available) should all enjoy larger roles with Brogdon sidelined.
As reported by: Tomer Azarly DeAndre Bembry (back) ruled out Monday
DeAndre Bembry (back) has been ruled out for Monday’s game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Bembry was expected to be in the starting lineup today but now Kessler Edwards could take his spot and see a bump in minutes. The rest of Bembry’s minutes should be split between the other bench guards/wings the top candidates being Cam Thomas, Bruce Brown and David Duke increasing their value.
As reported by: Alex Schiffer Lamar Stevens (knee) ruled out Monday
Lamar Stevens (knee) has been ruled out for Monday’s contest with the Brooklyn Nets. With Stevens unable to go due to a knee injury, Isaac Okoro will likely enter the starting lineup and both Cedi Osman and Dylan Windler should absorb the backup shooting guard minutes making them all better plays.
As reported by: Chris Fedor Luke Kennard (conditioning) ruled out Monday; Justise Winslow (conditioning) available
Luke Kennard (conditioning) has been ruled out for Monday’s game against the Indiana Pacers, while Justise Winslow (conditioning) will be available. Kennard is nearing a return but still won’t be able to suit up on today. In his absence Amir Coffey, Marcus Morris, and Terance Mann will continue to split Kennard’s minutes increasing each player’s value. Winslow will be back, but is not expected to play a major role for the Clippers today.
As reported by: Law Murray Other tagged players: Justise Winslow Bradley Beal (protocols) will play Monday
Bradley Beal (protocols) will play Monday against the Philadelphia 76ers. Beal hasn’t played in a game since the 9th but will likely slot back in the starting lineup for Washington displacing Corey Kispert. As of now there has been no mention of any sort of minutes restriction for Beal so he should be in line to see close to a full workload. His return will limit some of the upside enjoyed by other Wizards starters like Kyle Kuzma, Spencer Dinwiddie, and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope.
As reported by: Quinton Mayo LaMarcus Aldridge (foot) available to play Monday; Nic Claxton (hamstring) ruled out
LaMarcus Aldridge (foot) will be available to play Monday against the Cleveland Cavaliers, while Nic Claxton (hamstring) has been ruled out. With Claxton ruled out, Day’Ron Sharpe should see a good chunk of the center minutes with Lamarcus Aldridge and Blake Griffin also available to play if the Nets want to go a little smaller. Aldridge will make his return for the Nets tonight and will likely be inserted back into the starting lineup with Kevin Durant out for an extended period of time due to a knee injury. The Nets could elect to be cautious with Aldridge as he hasn’t played in 10 days.
As reported by: Brooklyn Nets Other tagged players: Nic Claxton LaMelo Ball (illness) available to play Monday
LaMelo Ball (illness) is available to play Monday against the New York Knicks. This update came after lock and after the Charlotte Hornets already announced their starting lineup without Ball in it. Ball will likely be limited as he dealt with an illness this morning.
As reported by: Charlotte Hornets Lineup Update: Hornets will start Rozier, Martin, Hayward, Bridges, Plumlee on Monday

As reported by: Charlotte Hornets Reggie Bullock (knee) questionable Monday
Reggie Bullock (knee) is now questionable for Monday’s game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Bullock is expected to be one of the primary bench players for the Mavericks tonight but his status is now in question due to a knee injury. If Bullock was unable to go, his minutes would likely be split between Josh Green and Sterling Brown with the possibility of Marquese Chriss reentering the rotation. Ultimately, Bullock’s potential absence wouldn’t change too much from a DFS perspective.
As reported by: Dallas Mavericks LaMelo Ball (illness) questionable Monday
LaMelo Ball (illness) is now questionable for Monday’s game against the New York Knicks. If Ball were to miss, Terry Rozier would likely take over the point guard duties with Cody Martin potentially entering the starting lineup and seeing a minutes bump. All starters would be expected to see a bump in their output with more scoring and ballhandling opportunities to go around. The rest of Ball’s minutes would be spread out amongst the bench guards like Ish Smith and possibly James Bouknight. From a usage standpoint the biggest benefactors with Ball off the court have been Terry Rozier and Gordon Hayward, who would become better plays.
As reported by: Charlotte Hornets Kemba Walker (knee) ruled out Monday
Kemba Walker (knee) has been ruled out for Monday’s game against the Charlotte Hornets. Walker will miss his 9th straight game dealing with a knee injury, meaning Alec Burks should continue to start for him with Immanuel Quickley and Quentin Grimes seeing the majority of the bench guard minutes. Burks and Quickley will be the primary benefactors from a minutes perspective, while somewhat surprisingly the players that see the biggest FPM boost with Walker off the floor are RJ Barrett and Mitchell Robinson (.07 and .05 respectively) making them all slightly better plays.
