Ike won't start Monday's game against Denver, Danny Emerman of SFStandard.com reports.

Ike started the Warriors' last two games but will shift to the second unit Monday. The big man came off the bench during Wednesday's season-opening loss to the Lakers, when he posted eight points, two rebounds, an assist, a steal and a block in 12 minutes.

Gafford went to the locker room during the third quarter of Monday's game against the Heat due to an undisclosed injury, but he returned with 8:52 remaining in the quarter, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.

Gafford looked to take a knee to the body on a Giannis Antetokounmpo dunk, and the big man was spotted going into the locker room right after. However, Gafford was able to return later in the quarter after getting checked out.

Bassey (knee) is available for Monday's game against the Nuggets.

Bassey will play in his second consecutive contest after sitting out the first two outings of the season for Golden State. He posted 10 points (4-4 FG, 2-3 FT), seven rebounds and two blocks in just 13 minutes during Saturday's loss to Phoenix, and he should see limited minutes again with Draymond Green (back) returning to the lineup.

Hayes (shoulder) is out for Monday's game against the Grizzlies.

Hayes will miss the second leg of this back-to-back due to right shoulder soreness after posting nine points, five rebounds, a steal and an assist in 19 minutes during Sunday's loss to the Lakers. That means Kyle Filipowski and Mo Bamba are likely to handle a bigger role off the bench. Hayes' next chance to play will come against the Spurs on Wednesday.

Carlson (concussion) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Lakers.

Carlson is trending in the right direction after missing Portland's first two regular-season games while in the league's concussion protocol. His potential return likely wouldn't impact the rotation.

Huff will start Monday's game against the Bucks, Scott Agness of FieldhouseFiles.com reports.

Ivica Zubac (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's clash, opening the door for Huff to start at center. He started the second half of Sunday's matchup after Zubac went down and put together a strong final line, finishing with 14 points, two rebounds, three assists and three blocks in 21 minutes.

Head coach Ime Udoka said Monday that Adams could be out "a week or two" due to his right soleus strain, Lachard Binkley of SI.com reports.

The veteran big man can be considered week-to-week until the Rockets offer another update on his status. In the meantime, Clint Capela is expected to see increased playing time behind Alperen Sengun. Jabari Smith is also likely to see more minutes at center in Adams' stead.

Claxton (hamstring) participated in individual drills Monday morning and hopes to join the team for practice next week, Joe Cowley of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

The Bulls reported one week ago that the big man would be re-evaluated in two weeks, so he appears to be right on track with his recovery from a hamstring injury. He'll presumably need to take part in 5-on-5 drills before getting the green light to return to game action.

Cardwell (calf) will be re-evaluated in one week, Brenden Nunes of KHTK Sactown Sports 1140 reports.

Cardwell is progressing well in his recovery from a calf strain. Precious Achiuwa should remain worth streaming in all fantasy leagues for the banged-up Kings in the meantime.

Raynaud (knee) is progressing in his rehabilitation and will be re-evaluated in approximately two weeks, Brenden Nunes of KHTK Sactown Sports 1140 reports.

Raynaud's absence is expected to extend into mid-November due to a right patellar subluxation. With Dylan Cardwell (calf) set to miss at least one more week, Precious Achiuwa, Jonathan Mogbo and De'Andre Hunter are candidates for increased minutes in the frontcourt.
