Matt Jones

SAC Shooting Guard #9

The Kings have waived G Matt Jones.

Jones was brought in as an extra body for training camp, but he never had a realistic shot of making the opening night roster.

Nikola Topić

OKC Guard #44

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Nikola Topić (groin) will play for the Thunder’s G League affiliate on Monday.

Topić began chemotherapy treatments in late October after being diagnosed with testicular cancer. While he will be available to play on Monday, the rookie still does not have a return timeline for NBA games. Topić is unlikely to affect redraft leagues this season, but he should still be rostered in dynasty leagues.

Eric Samulski gives advice to fantasy managers interested in Cam Thomas now that the guard is expected to rack up heavy minutes for the Bucks after leaving the Nets.

Asa Newell

ATL Forward #14
Nickeil Alexander-Walker, CJ McCollum, Zaccharie Risacher, Asa Newell and Onyeka Okongwu will start Monday’s game against the Timberwolves.

The Hawks are without Dyson Daniels and Jalen Johnson for Monday’s game, opening up two spots in the starting lineup. McCollum and Newell will fill the voids. While the latter is a player of greater interest to dynasty league managers, the former offers greater value in the short term.

Precious Achiuwa

SAC Forward #9
Russell Westbrook, Nique Clifford, DeMar DeRozan, Precious Achiuwa and Maxime Raynaud will start against the Pelicans on Monday.

The only change to the Kings’ starting lineup will be the return of Achiuwa, who was basically out of the rotation for the last three games after starting for half of December and all of January. That will push Daeqwon Plowden, who was productive on Saturday, back to the bench.

Lindy Waters

SAS Forward #43

Lindy Waters III (knee) has been ruled out against the Lakers on Tuesday.

This will be a fourth straight absence for Waters, though his status doesn’t have an impact on the Spurs’ rotation. His continued absence won’t impact the Spurs’ minutes allocation.

Danny Wolf

BKN Forward #2
Nolan Traoré, Terance Mann, Danny Wolf, Noah Clowney and Nic Claxton will start Monday’s game against the Bulls.

The Nets won’t have Egor Dëmin (rest) or Michael Porter Jr. (knee) for Monday’s game, opening up two spots in the starting lineup. Mann and Wolf will fill the voids, with the latter offering slightly higher fantasy upside.

Isaiah Collier

UTA Guard #8

Isaiah Collier, Ace Bailey, Lauri Markkanen, Jaren Jackson Jr. and Jusuf Nurkic will start against the Heat on Monday.

With George sidelined with an ankle injury, which he suffered on Saturday, Collier will enter the starting lineup. Over his last three games, Collier has averaged 20.7 points, 14.3 assists and 2.7 steals per game. He should be considered a high-priority streaming option as a starter.

Kel'el Ware

MIA Center #7
Davion Mitchell, Simone Fontecchio, Andrew Wiggins, Bam Adebayo and Kel’el Ware will start Monday’s game against the Jazz.

For the first time since January 6, Adebayo and Ware will start together. The latter had a productive game in Sunday’s win over the Wizards, and Miami will hope that he can build on that, filling the void left by Pelle Larsson. The other change to the lineup is Fontecchio, who starts due to Norman Powell’s absence

Wendell Carter

ORL Center-Forward #34
Wendell Carter Jr. (ankle) is available for Monday’s game against the Bucks.

A late addition to the injury report, Carter is good to go for Monday’s game. Combined with Franz Wagner returning from an ankle injury, Anthony Black is the odd man out of the Magic starting lineup. Joining Carter and Wagner are Jalen Suggs, Desmond Bane and Paolo Banchero.

Klay Thompson

DAL Guard #31
Klay Thompson (rest) is questionable to play against the Suns on Tuesday.

Thompson could get the night off despite not dealing with an injury. He has played roughly 20 minutes per game off the bench over the Mavericks’ last three games and should see a similar role if he’s available. Khris Middleton is expected to make his debut for Dallas, so he would soak up Thompson’s minutes.

Khris Middleton

DAL Forward #20

Khris Middleton (rest) is not on the injury report for Tuesday’s game against the Suns.

Absent from the injury report, Middleton is on track to make his Mavericks debut on Tuesday. With Dallas being best served to strengthen its draft lottery odds, the veteran forward may not log heavy minutes anytime soon. As was the case in Washington, Middleton does not qualify as a must-roster player in most fantasy leagues.
