Williams (knee) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Jazz.

Williams was held out of Saturday's win over San Antonio -- the second leg of a back-to-back set -- due to left knee injury management, and he's in jeopardy of missing Monday's contest as well. If the big man isn't cleared to play against Utah, Yang Hansen could remain in the Portland rotation.

Nurkic (toe) is questionable for Monday's game against Portland.

Nurkic will carry a questionable tag into his second straight game as he continues to deal with a toe sprain on his left foot. The veteran center has already missed a pair of contests due to the issue. Another absence would likely allow Kyle Filipowski to remain in the starting lineup.

Horford (toe) isn't listed on the injury report for Monday's game against the Clippers.

Horford sat out Saturday's win over Utah -- the second leg of a back-to-back set -- due to left toe injury management. However, the veteran big man is set to return to action Monday. Over his last four appearances, Horford has averaged 10.5 points, 4.8 rebounds and 1.0 blocks in 14.3 minutes per contest.

Kalkbrenner (elbow) won't play in Monday's game against Oklahoma City.

Kalkbrenner will miss an eighth consecutive game due to a sprained elbow, and it's unclear how close he is to being cleared for game action. The rookie center's absence has left more minutes for Moussa Diabate and PJ Hall.

Missi is not in the Pelicans' starting lineup against the Heat on Sunday.

Missi started Friday's win over the Trail Blazers, when he logged five points, three rebounds, two assists, three blocks and one steal over 21 minutes. He'll revert to a bench role Sunday after Derik Queen (quadriceps) was cleared to return from a one-game absence.

Sengun (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's game versus the Suns.

Sengun getting ruled out a day in advance of tipoff isn't a great sign, so for now, he should be considered questionable at best for Wednesday's game in Portland. Steven Adams (ankle) is questionable for Monday's game, and if he's forced to join Sengun on the inactive list, that could result in Clint Capela earning a spot start.

Adams (ankle) is questionable for Monday's matchup with the Suns.

Adams has missed the past two games for the Rockets, but there's a chance he'll be able to get back out there Monday night. Check back for official word on Adams' status closer to Monday's tipoff at 8:00 p.m. ET.

Porzingis (illness) isn't on the injury report for Monday's game against the Raptors, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Porzingis missed Atlanta's previous game -- the second leg of a back-to-back -- but he'll be good to go Monday. He's appeared in two games since returning from a 10-game absence due to illness, and he's come off the bench and played 17 minutes in both outings. While he'll still presumably be under heavy limitations Monday, he may see an extra minute or two.

Embiid (knee) is probable for Monday's matchup with the Nuggets.

Embiid is on track to play in his fourth consecutive game Monday. Managers can expect to get official confirmation on Embiid's status closer to Monday's tipoff at 8:30 p.m. ET.

Adebayo (back) will play in Sunday's game against New Orleans, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Adebayo will play in the closing leg of a back-to-back set despite tending to lower-back soreness. He played 34 minutes Saturday while managing the injury. Expect Adebayo to receive his typical allotment of minutes against the Pelicans.
