Grayson Allen contributes 20 points off bench

A final decision has not been made, but Richardson could be the addition to the starting lineup after Orlando lost Paolo Banchero (ankle) during Friday’s loss to the Timberwolves. If he starts, Desmond Bane and Franz Wagner would shift to small forward and power forward, respectively.

After coming off the bench in his first appearance of the season on Friday, Nesmith reclaims his usual starting role in Brooklyn. Jarace Walker heads to the bench, and he may offer greater fantasy value as a reserve than as a starter.

VanVleet did not play in Saturday’s win over the Hawks, as it was Houston’s second game in as many nights. His return will bump Reed Sheppard to the bench.

Smart did not play in Saturday’s win over the Hawks, and his absence led to Bogdan Bogdanović getting more minutes. The Rockets also missed Fred VanVleet that game, so Bogdanović’s minutes may decrease regardless of Smart’s availability.

Adams will miss a second straight game after making his season debut in Friday’s win over the Spurs. What’s concerning is that he’s still dealing with a strained right soleus, the same injury that kept him out of the opener. Clint Capela will remain the backup center.

Black is set to make his first appearance of the season after missing Orlando’s first two games with a sprained right ankle. It’s unclear how much he’ll play, but the athletic guard’s return is good news for a Magic squad that lost Paolo Banchero (ankle) during Friday’s loss to the Timberwolves.

Alvarado’s absence won’t affect fantasy basketball, but it will affect the back end of the Knicks’ rotation. Tyler Kolek may get rotation minutes after being a DNP-CD in the Knicks’ losses to the 76ers and Celtics.

Bassey made his first appearance of the season in Saturday’s loss to the Suns, playing 13 minutes off the bench. However, the Warriors missed Draymond Green and Al Horford, and both will be available on Monday. Bassey’s playing time is likely to decrease. As for Williams, if cleared for Monday’s game, he’ll come off the bench after scoring 20 points as a spot starter on Saturday. His chances of sticking in the rotation are greater than Bassey’s, even though the Warriors will also get Stephen Curry and Brandin Podziemski back.

After starting Saturday’s loss to the Suns for Draymond Green, Santos exited the game in the third quarter with left knee tendinitis and did not return. With Green available for Monday’s game, Santos will come off the bench if he’s cleared to play.

Nesmith made his first appearance of the season in Friday’s loss to the Mavericks, playing 20 minutes off the bench. The Pacers’ fifth starter has changed game to game, with Kelly Oubre Jr. starting the opener and Jarace Walker getting the nod on Friday. Depending on any potential injury management protocols, Nesmith could regain his spot in the starting five soon.
