Robert Williams III C | POR
Trail Blazers' Robert Williams: Good to go vs. Phoenix
Williams (hand) is available for Monday's game against the Suns, Danny Marang of 1080 The Fan Portland reports.
Williams will snap a three-game absence streak Monday due to a right hand injury. The big man will come off the bench, and over his last five outings (two starts), he has averaged 3.8 points, 7.4 rebounds and 1.8 blocks across 19.4 minutes per contest.

Drew Eubanks C | SAC
Clippers' Drew Eubanks: Cleared for Tuesday
Eubanks (recently traded) is off the injury report for Tuesday's game against the Lakers, independent NBA writer Justin Russo reports.
Eubanks will be available to make his debut with the Clippers after the club acquired him via trade Saturday. Over his last five outings (two starts) with the Jazz, Eubanks had averaged 6.6 points, 3.6 rebounds and 1.2 blocks in 16.6 minutes per contest.

Myles Turner C | MIL
Pacers' Myles Turner: Sitting Monday
Turner (ankle) won't play in Monday's game against the Jazz, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports.
Turner will be sidelined for the first time since Jan. 8 due to a right peroneal strain. Thomas Bryant and Obi Toppin will likely be tasked with covering nearly all the minutes at center in Turner's absence, while Jarace Walker could re-enter head coach Rick Carlisle's rotation.

Charles Bassey C | GS
Spurs' Charles Bassey: Slides back to bench Monday
Bassey is coming off the bench in Monday's game against the Grizzlies, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.
With Victor Wembanyama overcoming an illness Monday, Bassey will slide back to San Antonio's bench following Saturday's spot start. Across 30 contests from the Spurs' second unit this year, Bassey has averaged 4.5 points, 4.3 rebounds and 0.9 blocks in 10.4 minutes, so he'll likely be hard-pressed for fantasy value against Memphis.

Anthony Davis C | WAS
Mavericks' Anthony Davis: Won't go Tuesday
Davis has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the 76ers due to an abdominal muscle strain.
Davis missed the Lakers' past three matchups due to this injury, and he's not yet ready to return to play following Saturday night's trade. His next opportunity to make his Dallas debut will arrive Thursday in Boston.

Naz Reid C | MIN
Timberwolves' Naz Reid: Good to go Monday
Reid (finger) is listed as available for Monday's game against the Kings.
The big man will return to action without missing a game after sustaining a right finger sprain during Saturday's loss to Washington. With Julius Randle (groin) on the shelf, Reid will likely remain in the starting five against Sacramento. Over his last five outings (one start), the 25-year-old has averaged 12.0 points, 3.6 rebounds and 2.2 assists in 25.8 minutes per contest.

Victor Wembanyama C | SA
Spurs' Victor Wembanyama: Will play Monday
Wembanyama (illness) is good to go Monday against Memphis, Don Harris of News 4 San Antonio reports.
Wembanyama missed Saturday's contest against Miami due to illness, but he is officially cleared to play against the Grizzlies. Wembanyama is averaging 24.6 points, 10.9 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 4.0 blocks and 1.1 steals over 33.1 minutes this season.

Mitchell Robinson C | NY
Knicks' Mitchell Robinson: Cleared for contact
Knicks head coach Tom Thibodeau said Monday that Robinson (ankle) has been cleared to resume taking contact, James L. Edwards III of The Athletic reports.
Robinson has yet to make his season debut while recovering from the surgery he underwent on his left ankle last May. While Robinson's advancement to taking contact on the court is the next step forward in his recovery program, the Knicks aren't yet putting a timeline on the center's return to game action. Once healthy, the 26-year-old should serve as the primary backup to starting center Karl-Anthony Towns, a role that likely will result in Robinson playing fewer than 20 minutes per game.

Brandon Clarke C | MEM
Grizzlies' Brandon Clarke: Won't play Monday vs. Spurs
Clarke (back) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Spurs.
Clarke will be held out of the Grizzlies' second game of a back-to-back set Monday due to back soreness, and his next chance to see the floor will be Wednesday's road game against the Raptors. Jay Huff and Santi Aldama could see their minutes off the bench increase due to Clarke's absence.
