Edwards gave Minnesota a much-needed spark during the third quarter, shooting 5-of-10 from the field and scoring ten points. However, he went quiet in the fourth, only attempting three shots (making two) and appearing tired on both ends of the floor. With Karl-Anthony Towns struggling, Edwards shouldered an even heavier workload than usual. With Dallas having Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving to call on, that’s a losing proposition for Minnesota. The Timberwolves will look to extend the series with a win on Tuesday night.

Smith, who missed multiple games with a strained calf, played 20 minutes off the bench in Sunday’s loss to the Kings. If cleared, he’s likely to take on a similar workload against the Warriors. However, Smith’s fantasy ceiling is limited if his playing time is restricted.

Sexton suffered a left fibular head contusion during Sunday’s loss to the Kings and exited in the second half. If he’s unable to play, Rob Dillingham’s playing time may increase after logging 15 minutes on Monday.

Giddey is on track to play against the Warriors after logging 34 minutes and recording a triple-double in Sunday’s loss to the Kings. Collin Sexton (leg), who stepped in for Giddey in Thursday’s win over the Suns, is questionable to play on Tuesday.

Buzelis, who was back in the lineup on Sunday after missing Thursday’s loss to the Suns with a sprained ankle, is on track to play Tuesday night. If he can’t go, Leonard Miller is the most likely replacement in the starting lineup.

The Jazz have made two changes to their starting lineup for Monday’s game. With Ace Bailey (illness) unavailable, Konchar will start, and he’s capable of providing solid steals production. The other change is Sensabaugh, who replaces Oscar Tshiebwe, with Kyle Filipowski serving as the starting center.

The Warriors are without Al Horford, who’s sitting out the first game of two the team will play in as many nights. He’s replaced in the lineup by Post, who offers some deep-league streaming value in this role. The other change is Melton, who is back after sitting out Saturday’s loss to the Thunder. Pat Spencer will come off the bench.

Collins, who has missed six of the Clippers’ last seven games with a strained neck, had already been ruled out for Monday’s game against the Knicks. And he’s expected the team’s other three games of the week. As a result, Derrick Jones Jr. is worth a look in deep leagues, especially with Bennedict Mathurin already rostered in most leagues.

Salaün’s continued absence does not affect fantasy basketball, as he is not guaranteed rotation minutes when healthy.

James, who did not participate in Monday’s low-impact practice, is officially questionable for Tuesday’s game. If he’s unable to play, Rui Hachimura would get a third consecutive start.

DeRozan did not play in Sunday’s win over the Bulls, with Daeqwon Plowden replacing him in the lineup. While Plowden will remain in the rotation, his short-term fantasy value takes a hit with DeRozan available.
