  • Rudy Gobert C | MIN

    Timberwolves' Rudy Gobert: Absent from injury report

    Gobert (hip) is off the injury report for Tuesday's game against Utah.

    After missing Saturday's loss to the Spurs with a bruised hip, Gobert is all set to rejoin the lineup Tuesday. The veteran big man has averaged 9.5 points, 12.3 rebounds, 2.1 blocks and 1.0 steals in 31.6 minutes per tilt over his last 11 games, shooting 66.2 percent from the field during that period.

  • Naz Reid C | MIN

    Timberwolves' Naz Reid: Game-time call for Tuesday

    Reid (shoulder) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Jazz.

    Reid suffered a left shoulder injury early in Saturday's loss to San Antonio and did not return. His status for Tuesday's tilt is now in question. The team should have a better idea of his availability closer to tipoff.

  • Joel Embiid C | PHI

    76ers' Joel Embiid: Cleared to play Monday

    Embiid (knee/illness) is available and starting Monday's game against the Pacers.

    Embiid has managed to shed his questionable tag and is listed in the starting lineup for Monday's matchup. He's been producing at a high level offensively over his last five games, averaging 26.0 points while shooting 51.2 percent from the field during this stretch.

  • Steven Adams C | HOU

    Rockets' Steven Adams: Ruled out for Tuesday

    Adams (ankle) won't play Tuesday against the Spurs.

    Adams exited Sunday's matchup against the Pelicans with a sprained left ankle and will miss at least one additional game as a result of the injury. Clint Capela will presumably see more opportunities until Adams returns to health.

  • Jusuf Nurkic C | UTA

    Jazz's Jusuf Nurkic: Starting Monday

    Nurkic will start Monday's game against the Spurs.

    After three straight games without seeing the floor, Nurkic is right back in the first unit. The Jazz have been known for doing a lot of head-scratching things, so Nurkic could be very hard to trust as a fantasy asset going forward with the team completely focused on their rebuild.

  • Nets' Day'Ron Sharpe: Won't play Monday

    Sharpe (illness) is out for Monday's game against the Suns.

    In addition to an illness, Sharpe also has a throat contusion. During Sunday's loss to Chicago, he logged 19 minutes with five points, five rebounds and four assists. With Sharpe sidelined, the Nets could lean more on Danny Wolf.

  • Jaxson Hayes C | LAL

    Lakers' Jaxson Hayes: Returns from three-game absence

    Hayes (hamstring) contributed three points (1-1 FG, 1-2 FT) and five rebounds across 13 minutes Sunday in the Lakers' 110-93 win over the Raptors.

    Hayes stepped back into his usual role as the Lakers' backup center after he had missed the previous three games while managing a sore left hamstring. So long as Deandre Ayton remains healthy, Hayes doesn't look poised to see his role grow substantially, as neither of the two centers offers enough floor spacing to play alongside one another in the frontcourt. For the season, Hayes is shooting a career-best 76.9 percent from the floor while averaging 6.2 points, 4.0 rebounds and 0.8 assists in 17.5 minutes over 33 appearances.

  • Celtics' Chris Boucher: Probable for Monday

    Boucher (back) is probable for Monday's game against the Pistons, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.

    Boucher was previously labeled as questionable. He hasn't been in the rotation lately, so his status won't have a big impact in fantasy hoops.

  • Tony Bradley C | IND

    Pacers' Tony Bradley: Signs another 10-day deal

    Bradley signed another 10-day contract with the Pacers on Monday.

    Bradley has appeared in each of Indiana's last seven games, averaging 3.9 points, 3.1 rebounds and 0.7 assists in 12.7 minutes per contest. He will be available for Monday's game against the 76ers, but he's not a lock to see the floor with Isaiah Jackson healthy again.

  • Hornets' Ryan Kalkbrenner: Scores 17 points in win

    Kalkbrenner produced 17 points (8-10 FG, 1-1 FT), six rebounds and one assist over 23 minutes during Sunday's 110-87 win over the Nuggets.

    Kalkbrenner returned to the bench on Sunday after starting Saturday against the Warriors and matched a season high in points with 17 on 8-of-10 shooting. It marked his 13th game shooting 80 percent or better from the field this season, trailing only Rudy Gobert for the league lead. However, the rookie big man has now gone four straight games without recording a block, his longest drought of the season.
