Paul Reed C | DET
Pistons' Paul Reed: Sees garbage-time run
Reed registered 10 points (3-6 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five rebounds, one assist, one block and two steals over six minutes during Sunday's 121-110 loss to the Heat.
With Jalen Duren and Isaiah Stewart both back in the fold for the Pistons, Reed is back to being buried as the third-string center on the depth chart. Reed has appeared in just two of Detroit's last two contests, and all of his production came in the fourth quarter of Sunday's blowout. He's averaging 8.3 points, 5.9 rebounds and 1.3 blocks in 13.6 minutes per tilt in his last seven games, shooting 58.5 percent from the field.

Marvin Bagley III C | DAL
Mavericks' Marvin Bagley: Logs 20 minutes off bench
Bagley produced six points (2-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds and two assists across 20 minutes during Sunday's 122-92 loss to the Raptors.
Bagley was moving around well in his return from a five-game stint on the sidelines, so he should be fine for Tuesday's game in Atlanta. However, when he's confined to a reserve role, it's tough for Bagley to get enough consistent minutes to make a meaningful impact in standard fantasy leagues.

Daniel Gafford C | DAL
Mavericks' Daniel Gafford: Scores 21 points without missing
Gafford accumulated 21 points (10-10 FG, 1-1 FT), 11 rebounds, three assists and one block in 23 minutes during Sunday's 122-92 loss to the Raptors.
This was Gafford's second straight double-double and his eighth of the season. He set a new season high in points and did so without missing a single shot, but the result was yet another loss for the Mavericks. Dallas has now lost seven straight and dropped 17 of its past 19 games overall.

Trayce Jackson-Davis C | TOR
Raptors' Trayce Jackson-Davis: Out for Tuesday
Jackson-Davis (finger) is out for Tuesday's game against the Rockets, Frankie Cartoscelli of KHTK Sactown Sports 1140 reports.
Jackson-Davis dislocated his right middle finger during pregame warmups Sunday and has been ruled out for Tuesday's game. His next chance to play will come Wednesday against the Pelicans.

Jericho Sims C | MIL
Bucks' Jericho Sims: Starting Sunday
Sims is in the starting lineup for Sunday's matchup with the Magic.
Joining Sims in the first unit for Sunday's game will be Ryan Rollins, AJ Green, Ousmane Dieng and Myles Turner. Over eight starts this season, Sims has recorded averages of 5.4 points and 7.1 rebounds per contest.

Al Horford C | GS
Warriors' Al Horford: Won't play Monday
Horford has been ruled out for Monday's game against Utah due to left toe injury management.
Horford will sit out the front end of this back-to-back set, though it appears likely he'll return Tuesday against Chicago. With the veteran big man and Kristaps Porzingis (illness) both sidelined, Quinten Post and Malevy Leons are candidates to see increased playing time.

Kristaps Porzingis C | GS
Warriors' Kristaps Porzingis: Won't play Monday
Porzingis (illness) has been ruled out for Monday's game in Utah.
Monday's game will be the first of a back-to-back set, so Porzingis will get hit with a rest day, but he should be back for Tuesday's game against the Bulls. Quinten Post should be able to get back into the rotation with Porzingis watching from the sidelines.

Trayce Jackson-Davis C | TOR
Raptors' Trayce Jackson-Davis: Won't play Sunday
Jackson-Davis dislocated the middle finger on his right hand while going through pregame warmups and will not play Sunday against the Mavericks, Michael Grange of Sportsnet.ca reports.
Jackson-Davis has been a negligible part of the rotation in Toronto, so his absence from the active roster won't impact fantasy leagues. His next chance to play will come Tuesday in Houston.

Branden Carlson C | OKC
Thunder's Branden Carlson: Won't play Monday
Carlson (back) is out for Monday's game against the Nuggets.
Carlson will be inactive for a sixth consecutive game as he nurses a back injury. His absence potentially leaves Jaylin Williams and Kenrich Williams as the only active players to play the five spot for Monday's contest, as Chet Holmgren (illness, questionable) and Isaiah Hartenstein (calf, out) could both be unavailable as well.
-
Isaiah Hartenstein C | OKC
Thunder's Isaiah Hartenstein: Won't play Monday
Hartenstein (calf) is out for Monday's game versus the Nuggets.
This will be Hartenstein's second straight game on the sidelines, and it's not encouraging that he continues to get ruled out a full day in advance of tipoff. For now, he can be considered questionable for Thursday's game against the Celtics. Jaylin Williams and Kenrich Williams will likely help pick up the slack in Hartenstein's absence.
