With Jalen Brunson (ankle) also questionable, Donte DiVincenzo should see some extra playing time, while Quentin Grimes and Miles McBride could be in line for expanded run as well.

Robinson was set to miss Monday, but now he’ll be sidelined at minimum through the All Star Break. It’s a huge blow for the Knicks, as MitchRob was in the running for Defensive Player of the Year. Fantasy managers getting a boost from his career-high rebound total, elite FG% and strong blocks will have to pivot to other options at center. Isaiah Hartenstein and Jericho Sims should pick up the majority of center minutes as they did a season ago. Last season, Robinson was sidelined from January 20 to February 15. Sims started every game in that span but averaged just 4.0 points, 6.5 boards and 0.4 blocks across 25.1 minutes. Hartenstein logged 23.7 minutes per game but proved to be the more serviceable fantasy option with 5.6 points, 8.2 rebounds and 1.3 blocks.

Isaac hasn’t taken the court in five of Orlando’s last six games, but he’ll be available for this one. He’s averaging just 13.4 minutes per game, which means that even though he’s been cleared to play, he’s off the fantasy radar outside of deep leagues.

Dort will miss his first game of the season which should mean more playing time for the likes of Isaiah Joe, Aaron Wiggins and Cason Wallace. Joe is the best streaming candidate for fantasy managers searching for a pickup.

With Walker Kessler (foot) and Lauri Markkanen (hamstring) out, expect Omer Yurtseven to shine in a favorable matchup. The Thunder have been crushed on the glass this season, and they’re tied with the Pacers for most boards allowed over the last three games, with a whopping 64.7. Kelly Olynyk should see some additional run in this one, too.

If the veteran point guard is ruled out against Charlotte, Duncan Robinson and Josh Richardson will likely take on expanded roles in a favorable matchup.

DSJ will be on the sidelines for a second straight game, and with Lonnie Walker IV (hamstring) also out, Cam Thomas and Spencer Dinwiddie should handle a majority of the minutes in the backcourt.

Theis has been productive as of late with averages of 10.0 points, 7.5 boards and 2.5 blocks across his last two outings. After one game on the sidelines, he should see minutes in the high-teens or low-20s in his first game back, and he’s got a highly favorable matchup against a shorthanded Blazers squad. The backup big man is worth a look in deeper leagues for his strong, per-minute rebounding and blocking abilities.

Monk has been sizzling as of late, with averages of 18.8 points and 3.3 triples on 50.7/48.8/100 shooting splits across his last six games. If he’s unable to go, Davion Mitchell and Chris Duarte would be candidates to take on expanded roles against the Nets.

While McLaughlin was cleared to play in Friday’s game against the Grizzlies, he did not play, with Shake Milton getting the backup point guard minutes. Regardless of what happens before Monday’s game, neither is worth rostering in most fantasy leagues.
