Williams (knee) will not play Monday against the Warriors.

Williams will be sidelined for a 10th straight game and remains without a return timetable. With Deandre Ayton (calf) also out, Donovan Clingan and Duop Reath have been handling the center minutes in Portland.

Holmgren is not on the injury report for Monday's game against the Nuggets.

For the first time since Nov. 1 and Nov. 2 of 2024, Holmgren appears set to feature in both games of a back-to-back set. Holmgren played 26 minutes against Denver on Monday, posting 14 points, eight rebounds, one assist and four blocks.

Jones (quadriceps) will not play Monday against the Spurs.

Jones will be sidelined for a fourth straight game, and it's unclear when he'll be able to return to the lineup. Dwight Powell and Kessler Edwards could see more minutes in the short term as a result.

Powell (head) isn't listed on Dallas' injury report for Monday's game against the Spurs.

Powell collided with Kessler Edwards during Sunday's game against the Suns and never returned, but both players will be available for the second night of Dallas' back-to-back set. Over his last seven games (two starts), Powell has averaged 2.9 points, 3.4 rebounds and 1.6 assists in 13.1 minutes per game.

Jokic (elbow/ankle) is questionable for Monday's game against the Thunder.

Jokic continues to battle a lingering ankle injury, and he was clearly managing an elbow issue during Sunday's loss to the Thunder. However, coach Michael Malone said the MVP candidate was fine after the game. If Jokic is sidelined for Monday's rematch, Zeke Nnaji (ankle), DeAndre Jordan and Peyton Watson are candidates for increased roles.

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.
