Al Horford

GSW Center-Forward #20

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Brandin Podziemski, De’Anthony Melton, Moses Moody, Draymond Green and Al Horford will start Monday’s game against the Clippers.

While Brook Lopez isn’t the force that he’s been in seasons past, the Warriors still needed to match up with him defensively. As a result, Horford is in the starting lineup, pushing Gui Santos to the bench. While Steve Kerr’s rotation can be unpredictable at times, Santos should still play plenty.
Reed Sheppard

HOU Guard #15

Reed Sheppard tallied 19 points (7-of-18 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs), seven rebounds, 10 assists, six steals, two blocks and four three-pointers in Monday’s win over the Wizards.

While he didn’t have the best night shooting the basketball, Sheppard did something that has rarely been done in the NBA this century. He became the fourth player since 2000 to record a line with at least 19 points, 10 assists, seven rebounds, six steals and two blocked shots, joining Nikola Jokić, James Harden and Andrei Kirilenko. However, this performance may not be enough to keep Sheppard in the starting lineup, as head coach Ime Udoka said before Monday’s game that he may go back to his regular starting five once Jabari Smith Jr. (ankle) returns. Smith is expected to be available for Thursday’s game against the Warriors.
Alperen Sengun

HOU Center #28

Alperen Şengün accounted for 32 points (12-of-20 FGs, 8-of-11 FTs), 12 rebounds, two assists, one steal and one block in Monday’s win over the Wizards.

Like Kevin Durant, who scored 30 points, Şengün took full advantage of a Wizards’ rotation lacking size in Monday’s victory. He was responsible for eight turnovers, but many fantasy managers will be fine with Şengün’s 30-point double-double. The 32 points were three more than the center’s tally in Houston’s final two games of Week 18. The good news for fantasy managers is that the Rockets play three more games in Week 19, starting with the Warriors on Thursday.
Kevin Durant

HOU Forward #7

Kevin Durant finished Monday’s win over the Wizards with 30 points (8-of-15 FGs, 11-of-11 FTs), seven rebounds, one assist, one block and three three-pointers.

Making his annual return to the DMV, Durant has now scored 30 points or more in five of his last seven appearances. The only issue for the Suitland, Maryland native on Monday was the turnover count, as he racked up six. However, that isn’t a concern for those in leagues that don’t factor in turnovers or who are already punting that category. The Rockets don’t play again until Thursday and close Week 19 with three games over the final four days.
Kristaps Porziņģis

GSW Forward-Center #7

Warriors head coach Steve Kerr said before Monday’s game against the Clippers that he’s unsure if Kristaps Porziņģis (illness) will travel for the team’s upcoming road trip.

Monday’s game will be the fifth that Porziņģis will miss due to his illness, which Kerr described as being “a little mysterious.” The Warriors will then go on the road for three games, starting with Thursday’s game in Houston, and it’s unknown whether KP will travel, let alone play. His absence has left the Warriors to rely mainly on Draymond Green and Al Horford when they’re available.
Tari Eason

HOU Forward #17

Tari Eason was ejected from Monday’s game against the Wizards with 2:52 remaining in the third quarter.

Eason was assessed two technical fouls for shoving Washington’s Jamir Watkins on two separate occasions, prompting players on both teams to break them up. Eason played 25 minutes, finishing with nine points (4-of-11 FGs, 1-of-1 FTs), six rebounds, two assists and one steal.
Kobe Sanders

LAC Guard #4

Kris Dunn, Kobe Sanders, Derrick Jones Jr., Kawhi Leonard and Brook Lopez will start Monday’s game against the Warriors.

The Clippers won’t have John Collins (neck) for Monday’s game, so Sanders moves into the starting lineup. While this gives the rookie’s fantasy value a slight boost, he may not play starters’ minutes, as Darius Garland will make his Clippers debut in a reserve role.
EJ Harkless

UTA Point Guard #16

Keyonte George, EJ Harkless, Ace Bailey, Cody Williams and Kyle Filipowski will start Monday’s game against the Nuggets.

The Jazz have made one change to their starting lineup for Monday’s game, with Harkless replacing Blake Hinson. Given the defensive energy that he brings to the table, it would be unsurprising if Harkless were given the task of defending Jamal Murray.
Jonas Valančiūnas

DEN Center #17

Jamal Murray, Julian Strawther, Christian Braun, Jonas Valančiūnas and Nikola Jokić will start Monday’s game against the Jazz.

The Nuggets won’t have Cameron Johnson (ankle) for Monday’s game, which frees up a spot in the starting lineup. They’ve decided to go big, with Valančiūnas joining the starters. Since Murray and Jokić are also available, JV offers limited fantasy upside.
Devin Booker

PHX Guard #1

Devin Booker (hip) is not on the injury report for Tuesday’s game against the Kings.

Booker is back after a four-game absence, having been sidelined due to a hip injury. The star guard’s return will likely push Grayson Allen to the bench, but Allen’s fantasy value should not take too big a hit with Dillon Brooks (hand) still out.
