Bassey (knee) will not play Monday against Dallas.

Bassey will miss an eighth consecutive contest while he deals with an acute-on-chronic bone bruise in his left knee. He currently doesn't have a timetable to return to action for San Antonio.

Edey (ankle) is questionable for Monday's game against the Suns.

Monday's game is the second leg of a back-to-back set, and Edey is battling some soreness in his right ankle. Brandon Clarke (knee) is also questionable, while Jaren Jackson (ankle) and Santi Aldama (calf) remain sidelined. GG Jackson may be asked to soak up a ton of minutes Monday.

Clarke is questionable for Monday's game against the Suns with right knee soreness.

With Jaren Jackson (ankle) and Santi Aldama (calf) sidelined, the Grizzlies are already thin in the frontcourt. If Clarke is unable to give it a go, GG Jackson could offer a lot of streaming appeal for the Grizzlies for his offensive upside.

The Kings announced Saturday that Sabonis (hamstring) is making progress in his return-to-play plan, has been cleared for individual on-court workouts and will be re-evaluated Tuesday, James Ham of ESPN 1320 Sacramento reports.

Sabonis was diagnosed with a Grade 1 left hamstring strain at the beginning of March and was slated to miss at least a week. If the big man's evaluation goes well Tuesday, he could return to action as soon as Thursday in Golden State. However, that's the first half of a back-to-back set, and Friday's contest in Phoenix is Sacramento's final outing of the current week. Jonas Valanciunas has been starting at center in Sabonis' absence.

Drummond (illness) is questionable for Monday's game against the Hawks.

Drummond sat out the entire second half of Sunday's 126-122 win over the Jazz, so it's not a surprise to see him carrying a questionable tag into the second leg of a back-to-back set. If Drummond is unable to play Monday, Adem Bona and Guerschon Yabusele would likely absorb most of the minutes at center.

Kessler (rest) isn't listed on Utah's injury report for Monday's game against the Celtics.

After resting Sunday, Kessler will return to action for the second half of Utah's back-to-back set. On Friday, the third-year big man posted 18 points, 25 rebounds and eight blocks in 33 minutes during a 118-109 loss in Toronto.

Collins (back) is questionable for Monday's game against the Celtics.

While Collins is in danger of missing a sixth straight game, his questionable tag is a sign of progress, as he's previously been deemed doubtful or ruled out on Utah's initial injury reports. KJ Martin has been starting at power forward in Collins' absence.

Zubac posted 22 points (9-14 FG, 4-8 FT), 14 rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal across 44 minutes during Sunday's 111-110 overtime win over Sacramento.

Zubac posted yet another gem of a fantasy line Sunday with his 42nd double-double of the campaign. With 62 regular-season games under his belt, Zubac is on pace to return fourth-round fantasy value in nine-category formats with 16.0 points, 12.5 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 0.8 steals and 1.1 blocks.

Vucevic (calf) said he will play Monday against the Pacers, K.C. Johnson of Chicago Sports Network reports.

Vucevic, who has missed the past seven games for Chicago, will shake off his questionable tag and return to action Monday, though he'll be limited to 26-to-28 minutes of playing time, per K.C. Johnson of Chicago Sports Network. With this news, the fantasy appeal of Zach Collins and Jalen Smith takes a hit.

Valanciunas had nine points (3-10 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 17 rebounds, seven assists, one block and one steal over 42 minutes during Sunday's 111-110 overtime loss to the Clippers.

Making another start for the injured Domantas Sabonis (hamstring), Valanciunas matched his season-high mark of 17 rebounds. Over his last four starts, Valanciunas has turned up the heat with averages of 14.3 points, 12.8 rebounds, 5.5 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.0 blocks in 31.0 minutes. Meanwhile, Sabonis remains day-to-day for the Kings.
