Quentin Grimes, Jake LaRavia starting vs. Clippers

Diallo has missed Denver’s last four games with a sprained wrist. If he can play on Monday, the rookie wing will come off the bench, as Cameron Johnson returned from a sprained ankle on Friday against the Suns.

Jones has not appeared in a game this season, and that won’t change on Monday. Rookie Trevon Brazile has been a fixture in the Nuggets’ rotation, and that won’t change anytime soon.

LaVine is dealing with right elbow inflammation. He hasn’t missed a game this season, but if that changes, Malik Monk could take on a bigger role, whether he starts or comes off the bench.

After suffering a calf strain during the preseason, Cardwell has not played in a game this season. That could change on Monday, and the second-year center could give the winless Kings a needed infusion of energy and defense. If Cardwell plays, Jonathan Mogbo could fall out of the rotation entirely.

Post didn’t play in Saturday’s win over the Kings, leaving the backup center role solely to Isaiah Stewart. Beef Stew was outstanding, shooting 8-of-9 from the field and scoring 24 points.

Pippen did not play in Saturday’s win over the Kings and appears likely to remain out on Monday. Ty Jerome (back) is available, so Pippen remaining out would not put the Grizzlies in a terrible spot. Javon Small could play some off the bench after logging 20 minutes on Saturday, but that isn’t guaranteed.

Jerome is back after sitting out Saturday’s win against the Kings. As a result, Cam Spencer will return to the bench after dishing out 13 assists in the spot start.

While Wagner set a career high with 12 assists, he struggled to make shots. Shooting 54.2 percent from inside the arc entering Sunday, the Magic forward shot 4-of-16 from inside the arc against the Celtics. Wagner is shooting 39.6 percent for the season, but three-point shooting has been the issue (18.5 percent entering Sunday). He’ll look to turn things around on Monday against the Wizards.

Injuries to Paolo Banchero (ankle) and Jalen Suggs (knee) have not resulted in da Silva moving into the starting lineup. However, that doesn’t prevent him from providing reliable fantasy value. Against the Celtics, da Silva recorded his first double-double of the season and second of his NBA career. Rostered in 22 percent of Yahoo leagues, da Silva is a worthwhile pickup, even with the Magic playing three games next week.

Black has reached double figures in three of his four games this season, and Sunday’s point total is a new season-high. The overall stat line was very good, with the Magic guard shooting high percentages from the field and the foul line and offering solid value in rebounds and steals. Black will continue to start until Paolo Banchero (ankle) returns, making him worth adding if he’s still on your league’s waiver wire.
