Jose Alvarado

NOP Guard #15

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players
Jose Alvarado (oblique) has been ruled out against the Magic on Sunday.

Alvarado will miss a second straight game, which has allowed Jeremiah Fears to take on extra minutes as the starting point guard. Jordan Poole is filling out the backup minutes, but he was held scoreless in 12 minutes in their last game.

Kevin Love

UTA Forward-Center #42

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players
Kevin Love (rest) is out for Monday’s matchup with the Heat.

Love’s absence isn’t meaningful now that Jaren Jackson Jr. is on the roster. Kyle Filipowski may see a few extra minutes behind Jusuf Nurkić, but Filipowski isn’t worth a look while competing for minutes in a crowded Utah frontcourt.

Hornets’ ‘offense has been elite’

Kenny Beecham gives flowers to some of the NBA's top storylines, including the dominant Celtics' defense, thriving Hornets' offense, Joel Embiid's contributions to the 76ers, and more.

Pelle Larsson

MIA Guard #9
Pelle Larsson (elbow) is doubtful for Monday’s matchup with the Jazz.

Larsson sustained a right elbow contusion in Friday’s loss to the Celtics, and it cost him Sunday’s win over the Wizards. Larsson is expected to sit out the second leg of Miami’s back-to-back set, which means Simone Fontecchio should take on an expanded workload.

Norman Powell

MIA Guard #24
Norman Powell (back) is questionable for Monday’s matchup with the Jazz.

Powell exited Sunday’s matchup with Washington at the end of the third quarter with back tightness, but the Heat may have simply been cautious with Powell against Washington due to the blowout nature of the contest. If Powell is sidelined for the second leg of Miami’s back-to-back set, Simone Fontecchio and Jaime Jaquez Jr. could see upticks in playing time.

Franz Wagner

ORL Forward #22
Franz Wagner (ankle) is available for Monday’s matchup with the Bucks.

Wagner last played on January 18, but he’ll make his return after three weeks on the sideline. He may face a minutes restriction in his first game back, but Wagner’s return will likely mean less playing time for Anthony Black.

Robert Williams

POR Center-Forward #35
Robert Williams (knee) is questionable for Monday’s game against the 76ers.

Williams did not play in Saturday’s win over the Grizzlies, as it was Portland’s second game in as many nights. If he’s unable to play against the 76ers, the Trail Blazers would turn to Yang Hansen to serve as the backup center. Williams’ absence would likely mean more minutes for starting center Donovan Clingan as well.

Scoot Henderson

POR Guard #00
Scoot Henderson (hamstring) is probable for Monday’s game against the 76ers.

After making his season debut in Friday’s win over the Grizzlies, Henderson did not play the following night. On track to play against the 76ers, he’ll likely be under a minutes restriction if cleared. Caleb Love could be made inactive, since he’s close to his 50-game limit.

Deni Avdija

POR Forward #8
Deni Avdija (back) is questionable for Monday’s game against the 76ers.

Due to his lower back injury, Avdija has missed Portland’s last two games. The Trail Blazers were also without Shaedon Sharpe for Saturday’s win over the Grizzlies, which prompted Sidy Cissoko to move into the starting lineup. If Avdija can play on Monday, his return may also lead to Caleb Love being made inactive as he approaches his 50-game limit.

Joel Embiid

PHI Center-Forward #21
Joel Embiid (knee) is questionable for Monday’s game against the Trail Blazers.

Embiid was also listed as questionable ahead of Saturday’s win over the Suns, a game in which he played 33 minutes. Look for him to take on a similar workload on Monday if cleared to play. If Embiid can’t play, the 76ers will turn to Andre Drummond to move into the starting lineup.

Luka Dončić

LAL Forward-Guard #77
Luka Dončić (hamstring) is out for Monday’s game against the Thunder.

Saturday’s game will be the second that Dončić has missed since straining his left hamstring during Thursday’s win over the 76ers. Rui Hachimura was inserted into the starting lineup in Saturday’s win over the Warriors, due partly to Austin Reaves (calf) being limited to 25 minutes. Whether Hachimura starts on Monday will likely depend on Reaves’ minutes allowance.

Deandre Ayton

LAL Center #5
Deandre Ayton (knee) is probable for Monday’s game against the Thunder.

Ayton was held out of Saturday’s win over the Warriors, with the Lakers scratching him just before tipoff due to a sore right knee. If he can play against the Thunder, that will push Jaxson Hayes back to the bench.
