Deni Avdija

POR Forward #8

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Deni Avdija (back) finished Sunday’s loss to the Knicks with 25 points (8-of-17 FGs, 8-of-10 FTs), five rebounds, four assists, three steals, one block and one three-pointer.

Avdija finished Sunday’s defeat with another solid stat line, but that isn’t the key takeaway. He left with just under two minutes remaining after landing awkwardly and tweaking something in his lower back. While acting head coach Tiago Splitter had no information during his postgame press conference, he said he was “worried” about the injury. Even with Jrue Holiday returning from his calf injury on Sunday, losing Avdija would be significant for Portland.

Dominick Barlow

PHI Forward #25

Dominick Barlow (illness) has been ruled out against the Trail Blazers on Monday.

Philadelphia will be shorthanded for this game with both Barlow and Joel Embiid (knee) sidelined. Trendon Watford should enter the starting lineup in place of Barlow, and he had some decent outings as a starter earlier in the year, giving him some upside as a streamer.

Joel Embiid

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

Embiid will miss the final game of Philadelphia’s road trip due to right knee injury management. As a result, Andre Drummond likely slots in as the starting center, with Adem Bona serving as the backup.

Deni Avdija

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

Avdija is back after a four-game absence. His return will likely push Sidy Cissoko to the bench, where the young wing offers limited fantasy value.

Walter Clayton

MEM Guard #4
Walter Clayton Jr. (calf) has been ruled out against the Warriors on Monday.

Clayton was initially questionable for this game, but he will be sidelined against Golden State. Cam Spencer will be back after missing their last game, so he should take on Clayton’s minutes.

Dominick Barlow

PHI Forward #25
Dominick Barlow (illness) is questionable for Monday’s game against the Trail Blazers.

Barlow is a very late addition to the 76ers’ injury report, which is concerning regarding his availability. With Quentin Grimes (illness) already out, the 76ers may have to call on Trendon Watford to start. If so, he would be worth streaming in deep leagues.

Quentin Grimes

PHI Guard #5
Quentin Grimes (illness) is out for Monday’s game against the 76ers.

Added to the injury report on Monday afternoon, Grimes will not be available to play in Portland. His absence frees up rotation minutes for the bench, with Trendon Watford potentially taking on more playmaking duties for the bench unit.

Dalton Knecht

LAL Forward #4

Dalton Knecht (hamstring) is available for Monday’s game against the Thunder.

Knecht is good to go for Monday’s game, but he’s unlikely to get the minutes needed to affect fantasy basketball. He should only be rostered in dynasty leagues.

Jalen Duren

DET Center #0
Jalen Duren and Isaiah Stewart have been ejected from Monday’s game against the Hornets.

Expect some suspensions to be handed out. The brawl started with Duren and Moussa Diabate getting tangled up, and every time it seemed like cooler heads would prevail, things escalated again. Diabate and Miles Bridges were also ejected. This leaves Detroit shorthanded down low. With Tolu Smith in the G League, Paul Reed should fill the center minutes for the remainder of this game.

Moussa Diabaté

CHA Forward #14
Moussa Diabaté and Miles Bridges were ejected from Monday’s game against the Pistons with 7:09 remaining in the third quarter.

In a game that had been physical throughout, things got out of control during the third quarter. Diabaté wrapped up Detroit’s Jalen Duren as the Pistons center was attempting a shot in the paint. Those two came together, leading players on both teams, including Bridges and Stewart, to get involved. While Diabaté was being restrained, Bridges and Stewart got into a separate altercation at half court. Grant Williams and Ryan Kalkbrenner entered the Hornets lineup.

Stephen Curry

GSW Guard #30
Warriors head coach Steve Kerr said on Monday that Stephen Curry (knee) will be sidelined through the All-Star break.

Before Saturday’s loss to the Lakers, Kerr said that his star guard was unlikely to play in Monday’s game against the Grizzlies. In addition to sitting out Monday’s contest, Curry will miss Wednesday’s matchup with the Spurs and the February 15 All-Star Game in Inglewood, California. Gui Santos has played well since moving into the starting lineup, and he’s worth streaming in deep leagues until Curry returns.
