Ben Sheppard (knee) facing extended absence

Flemings was ejected from Saturday’s game after elbowing Pelicans wing Bryce McGowens in the face during a confrontation. The NBA has since suspended the rookie for one game, which he’ll serve on Monday against the Pacers. Flemings will be eligible to return on Wednesday against the Wizards.

Due to left shoulder bursitis, Poeltl is a late scratch for Sunday’s game. Trayce Jackson-Davis will replace him in the starting lineup, but Poeltl’s absence will likely give Collin Murray-Boyles more playing time as well.

The Warriors are resting Stephen Curry and Draymond Green for Sunday’s game, prompting multiple changes to the starting lineup. Melton, Niang and Bassey will start, with Gui Santos coming off the bench after starting Friday’s win over the Lakers.

Nembhard has scored at least 18 points in each of his last three games, all played without Tyrese Haliburton (hamstring). However, his efficiency has taken a hit, with Nembhard shooting 39.2 percent from the field and recording nine turnovers in those three outings. He’ll look to clean that up on Monday when the Pacers host the Hawks to begin a three-game week.

It’s fair to say that Huff’s four starts for the injured Ivica Zubac (ankle) have not gone as well as many fantasy managers hoped. While he scored 13 points in Friday’s loss to the Heat, he has totaled 22 points, 16 rebounds and one block in those four games. Huff appeared to tweak his right foot in the first half of Sunday’s defeat but returned. Managers still holding onto him in hopes of getting some streaming value may be best served by moving on to another option going into Week 3.

In the three games the Pacers have played since losing Tyrese Haliburton to a hamstring strain, Siakam has averaged 18.7 points per game while shooting 45.8 percent from the field. That isn’t necessarily bad, but not sharing the floor with a lead guard as talented as Haliburton lowers Siakam’s ceiling. On Sunday, he scored just four points in the second half, shooting 1-of-3 from the field. The Pacers play three games next week, starting with the Hawks on Monday.

Having started the Nets’ last three games, Traoré’s production has been inconsistent. He rebounded nicely from a poor outing against the Pistons on Friday, scoring in double figures for the third time in four games. Traoré shot 4-of-8 from beyond the arc and committed one turnover in 30 minutes. Monday’s matchup against the Knicks will be more challenging, and Mikel Brown Jr. (back) should be available, which may limit Traoré’s ceiling.

Playing against a Pacers team without Ivica Zubac or Obi Toppin, Sharpe had his most productive game of the season. The Nets center recorded his first double-double in six games, finishing with new highs in points and rebounds. Sharpe didn’t record any defensive stats, ending his two-game streak with at least one steal and one block. He’ll look to do more on that end of the floor on Monday when the Nets visit the Knicks.

Despite shooting 1-of-6 from inside the arc, Randle finished Sunday’s victory with his third 20-point game of the season. Unfortunately for category league managers, Randle wasn’t efficient, shooting 33.3 percent from the field and committing four turnovers. That said, his performance against the Pacers was better than Friday’s showing against the Pistons.

The Nets got their first win of the season on Sunday, and getting Porter involved early helped. The Nets forward scored seven points in the first quarter and 13 in the first half. After attempting nine shots in Friday’s loss to the Pistons, Porter nearly matched that number in the first quarter (seven). He’ll need to take a similar approach on Monday when the Nets begin a four-game week with a matchup with the Knicks.
