Neemias Queta C | BOS
Celtics' Neemias Queta: Good to go Monday
Queta (illness) is available for Monday's game against the Trail Blazers, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.
Queta has been dealing with an illness of late, though he hasn't missed a game since late November. Over his last five outings (four starts), the big man has averaged 10.6 points, 6.4 rebounds, 1.8 blocks and 1.6 steals in 26.4 minutes per contest.

Marvin Bagley III C | DAL
Wizards' Marvin Bagley: Ruled out for Tuesday
Bagley (back) is out for Tuesday's game against Portland.
Bagley will be sidelined for a third consecutive game due to a thoracic strain. With Tristan Vukcevic (hamstring) also out, Anthony Gill should pick up the backup center gig behind Alex Sarr but doesn't carry much fantasy relevance in that role.

Jonas Valanciunas C | DEN
Nuggets' Jonas Valanciunas: Expected to play
Valanciunas (calf) is probable for Tuesday's game versus Detroit.
After getting a night off Friday against the Bucks related to maintenance, Valanciunas will likely reclaim his spot with the starters. He will be a popular streaming option until Nikola Jokic (knee) gets the green light to return.

Andre Drummond C | PHI
76ers' Andre Drummond: Enters starting lineup
Drummond will start Monday's game versus Charlotte.
Drummond will replace Joel Embiid, who is taking the day off for maintenance on the front end of this back-to-back set. As for Tuesday's game against the Bucks, Drummond could be pushed completely out of the rotation once again.

Jock Landale C | ATL
Grizzlies' Jock Landale: Won't play Monday
Landale (personal) will not play Monday against Houston.
Landale has played a big role in recent outings, averaging 28.1 minutes per night over his last four games. Santi Aldama (knee) is questionable, so the Grizzlies could deploy some smaller lineup combinations with guys like GG Jackson and John Konchar picking up some extra minutes.

Day'Ron Sharpe C | BKN
Nets' Day'Ron Sharpe: Records four steals
Sharpe recorded eight points (3-5 FG, 2-3 FT), six rebounds, two assists, one block and four steals over 20 minutes during Sunday's 126-89 loss to the Clippers.
This was another tremendous line for Sharpe as he continues to make a big impact off Brooklyn's bench. Sharpe's fantasy appeal could move in a big direction at the trade deadline, as both he and Nic Claxton are said to be drawing interest from contending teams.

Derik Queen C | NO
Pelicans' Derik Queen: Quiet showing Sunday
Queen accumulated four points (2-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt), four rebounds and one assist over 17 minutes during Sunday's 104-95 win over San Antonio.
It was one of Queen's worst performances of his rookie season, and he was soundly outplayed by Yves Missi. Queen's starting role appears to be safe for now, but he certainly has some competition. Over his last appearances, Queen has averaged 8.3 points, 6.5 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 1.0 steals in 23.0 minutes per contest.
