Duren (leg) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Kings, Omari Sankofa II of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Duren will miss his second consecutive game due to a right leg contusion. His next chance to suit up will come Thursday against the Knicks. Isaiah Stewart and Paul Reed are candidates for a bump in minutes due to Duren being sidelined.

Adebayo (back) has been ruled out for Monday's game against Philadelphia, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Adebayo developed the back issue after Saturday's loss to Milwaukee, per Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald. The star big man's next chance to feature will come Wednesday against the Bulls. Kel'el Ware, Haywood Highsmith (Achilles) and Kyle Anderson are candidates for a bump in playing time due to Adebayo being sidelined.

Holmes (shoulder) is listed as doubtful for Tuesday's game against Indiana.

Holmes is heading towards a third straight absence due to a right shoulder contusion. Anthony Gill and Tristan Vukcevic (knee) would be slated to see more minutes off the bench behind Alex Sarr if Holmes is officially ruled out.

Porzingis is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Knicks due to a non-COVID illness, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.

After sitting out Sunday's game against the Wizards, Porzingis remains in jeopardy of missing another contest against New York. With Al Horford (toe) already ruled out ahead of Wednesday's back-to-back game against Orlando, the Celtics could turn to Luke Kornet for a spot start down low. Kornet has averaged 9.7 points, 6.1 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.7 blocks in 27.7 minutes through 14 games as a starter this season.

Horford (knee) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Knicks, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.

Horford has been a mainstay on the injury report due to a left big toe sprain, but he is now dealing with a right knee sprain that will keep him out of Tuesday's Atlantic Division clash. With Horford out and Kristaps Porzingis (illness) questionable, there will be more minutes off the bench for Luke Kornet, Neemias Queta and Xavier Tillman. Horford's next chance to play is Wednesday against the Magic.

Vucevic is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Cavaliers for injury management.

Tuesday's game is the front end of a back-to-back set, so fantasy managers can anticipate at least one maintenance day here. If and when Vucevic does get a night off, Zach Collins could offer plenty of fantasy appeal as a streaming option.

Sharpe (knee) will not play Tuesday against the Pelicans.

Sharpe will miss his seventh straight contest Tuesday due to a right knee sprain. His next chance to play comes Thursday against the Hawks.

Claxton (rest) will be available for Tuesday's game against the Pelicans.

After missing Sunday's game versus the Raptors due to rest purposes, Claxton will be back in the rotation and could have a higher floor due to Day'Ron Sharpe (knee) being out once again. Claxton has averaged 14.2 points, 7.2 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1.8 blocks over his last five outings.

Clingan chipped in 10 points (4-5 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), eight rebounds, three blocks and two steals in 27 minutes during Sunday's 120-109 win over San Antonio.

Clingan posted a well-rounded line in the win, and his fantasy arrow continues to point in the right direction. Over his last seven games, his upside has been undeniable. He's produced fifth-round value in nine-category formats in that span with averages of 8.0 points, 10.1 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 1.1 steals, 1.9 blocks and 0.7 three-pointers in 28.4 minutes per contest.

Sarr ended with 16 points (7-17 FG, 2-9 3Pt), four rebounds, two assists and one block across 32 minutes during Sunday's 124-90 loss to the Celtics.

This was Sarr's ninth game of his rookie campaign with at least 17 shot attempts. It's no secret that his offensive game is very raw, as he's hitting 39.6 percent from the field this season. The Wizards are clearly giving him the green light, presumably to speed up his development. His defense has been tremendous, though, as he's averaging 1.5 blocks and 0.7 steals on the season.
