Grant Williams

CHA Small Forward #2

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players
Grant Williams (right ankle sprain), Nick Richards (right plantar fascia discomfort), and Davis Bertans (left Achilles soreness) are questionable for Sunday’s game against the Cavaliers.

While Bertans played 22 minutes off the bench in Friday’s loss to the Celtics, Richards and Williams did not play. Tre Mann, Nick Smith Jr., and Marques Bolden all played at least 29 minutes in Boston, and they are the safest options on the Hornets roster to target in active fantasy leagues.

Jaxson Hayes

LAL Center-Forward #11

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

According to Lakers head coach JJ Redick, Jaxson Hayes (ankle) participated in Monday’s practice.

Hayes has missed the Lakers’ last two games with a sore left ankle. His return to practice on Monday makes it possible that he’ll be able to play in Tuesday’s game against the Pistons. While Hayes’ status does not affect fantasy basketball, his return would give the Lakers another post player to counter Detroit’s Jalen Duren and Isaiah Stewart.

Rui Hachimura

LAL Forward #28
Rui Hachimura (groin) did not participate in Monday’s practice.

Before Thursday’s loss to the Rockets, Hachimura missed two games with a groin injury. Lakers head coach JJ Redick said that the forward is “banged up” but did not specify what injuries he may be dealing with. Hachimura should be considered questionable for Tuesday’s game against the Pistons, with Jake LaRavia being the likely replacement if he can’t play.

Robert Williams

POR Center-Forward #35
Robert Williams III (knee) is questionable for Monday’s matchup with the Mavericks.

Time Lord sat out on Sunday against the Celtics, and there’s a chance he sits out the second leg of Portland’s back-to-back set. If he’s out, Yang Hansen and Duop Reath should see additional run in the frontcourt backing up Donovan Clingan.

Jerami Grant

POR Forward #9
Jerami Grant (Achilles) is out for Monday’s matchup with the Mavericks, and Kris Murray (quad) is questionable.

Grant will sit out again, which could open up additional opportunities for Murray if he plays. If Murray ends up sitting out, Sidy Cissoko could see a major jump in playing time. Cissoko is worth streaming in deeper leagues only.

Brandon Williams

DAL Guard #10

Brandon Williams (calf) is probable for Monday’s matchup with the Trail Blazers.

Williams sat out Saturday’s loss to Sacramento, but he’ll return following a one-game absence. Fantasy managers should expect him to handle his usual allotment of minutes against Portland. Williams’ last appearance was on Christmas Day when he dropped a season-high 26 points against the Warriors.

Ajay Mitchell

OKC Guard #25
Ajay Mitchell (shin) is questionable for Monday’s matchup with the Hawks.

Mitchell was forced out of action early in Sunday’s win over the 76ers, and he’s in danger of sitting out the second leg of Oklahoma City’s back-to-back set. Isaiah Joe, Alex Caruso, Cason Wallace and Aaron Wiggins are all candidates for increased run if Mitchell is forced to sit out.

Alex Caruso

OKC Guard #9
Alex Caruso (finger) and Isaiah Joe (neck) are off the injury report for Monday’s matchup with the Hawks.

Isaiah Hartenstein is out, and Ajay Mitchell is questionable, so both Caruso and Joe should see additional run against Atlanta. The three-and-D specialists are worth streaming in deeper leagues.

Isaiah Hartenstein

OKC Center-Forward #55
Isaiah Hartenstein (calf) is out for Monday’s matchup with the Hawks.

Jaylin Williams (heel) is also out, so big minutes should be available for Chet Holmgren and Jalen Williams in the frontcourt. Hartenstein’s absence shouldn’t be too concerning to fantasy managers, as he’s sitting out the second leg of a back-to-back set, which was an expected outcome due to his lingering calf injury.

Trae Young

ATL Guard #11
Trae Young (quad) is out for Monday’s matchup with the Thunder.

Young played through his quad injury on Saturday, but he’ll be forced to miss at least one game when he sits out on Monday. With Young unavailable, Nickeil Alexander-Walker should earn a spot start against the Thunder, making him worthy of streaming, albeit in a tough matchup.

Alperen Sengun

HOU Center #28
Alperen Şengün (calf) is out for Monday’s matchup with the Pacers.

Şengün sat out Saturday against Cleveland, and his continued absence should lead to a second straight start for Steven Adams and additional minutes for Clint Capela off the bench. Adams is worth streaming for fantasy managers in need of big man help.
