  • Santi Aldama C | MEM

    Grizzlies' Santi Aldama: Not playing Monday

    Aldama (knee) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Warriors.

    Aldama is set to miss a third consecutive game due to a right knee injury, and his last opportunity to play before the All-Star game is Wednesday against the Nuggets. Kyle Anderson and Olivier-Maxence Prosper figure to be the top candidates to start Monday in Aldama's absence.

  • Trail Blazers' Robert Williams: Questionable against Philly

    Williams (knee) is questionable for Monday's game against the 76ers.

    Williams could miss a second straight game due to a lingering knee injury. If he is unable to go, Yang Hansen could see extra minutes while backing up Donovan Clingan.

  • Joel Embiid C | PHI

    76ers' Joel Embiid: Questionable to play Monday

    Embiid is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Trail Blazers due to right knee injury management, Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com reports.

    Embiid has been a mainstay on the 76ers' injury report this season, and there's a chance he is sidelined for Monday's road tilt while managing a right knee injury. His absence would likely result in Andre Drummond entering the Sixers' starting five.

  • Lakers' Deandre Ayton: Likely to play Monday

    Ayton (knee) is listed as probable for Monday's game against the Thunder, Daniel Starkand of LakersNation.com report.

    Ayton was a late scratch for Saturday's game against the Warriors due to right knee soreness. It appears the veteran center will play Monday, though he could be held out for the second leg of the Lakers' back-to-back set Tuesday against the Spurs. Ayton's return would lead to Jaxson Hayes reverting to a bench role.

  • Knicks' Karl-Anthony Towns: Double-double in win

    Towns finished with 11 points (3-9 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist and one steal across 29 minutes during Sunday's 111-89 victory over the Celtics.

    Towns returned from a one-game absence due to an eye injury and recorded a double-double, though it came with a muted scoring effort. The big man's scoring has trended down of late, as he entered Sunday averaging just 14.6 points over his previous eight contests. His work on the glass has remained steady, however, with Towns hauling in double-digit rebounds in 38 of 49 appearances this season.

  • Hornets' Xavier Tillman: Cleared to play Monday

    Tillman (recently traded) is not listed on the injury report ahead of Monday's game against the Pistons.

    Tillman is on track to make his debut with the Hornets after being acquired from the Celtics on Thursday. Tillman is unlikely to see many minutes with his new team, given that he appeared in just three games for Boston since Christmas Day.

  • Jay Huff C | IND

    Pacers' Jay Huff: Logs four stocks in loss

    Huff posted 15 points (5-10 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), seven rebounds, two assists, two blocks and two steals over 30 minutes during the Pacers' 122-104 loss to the Raptors on Sunday.

    Huff finished Sunday's game as the Pacers' second-leading scorer behind Pascal Siakam (18 points), and the former has recorded two blocks in four of his last five outings. Huff has started in each of the Pacers' last four games and should remain in the starting lineup for as long as newcomer Ivica Zubac (ankle) is sidelined.

  • Kings' Domantas Sabonis: Questionable for Monday

    Sabonis (back) is questionable for Monday's game against the Pelicans.

    Sabonis could miss a third straight game due to a lingering back injury. If he is unable to go, Maxime Raynaud and Dylan Cardwell figure to see expanded roles.

  • Raptors' Trayce Jackson-Davis: Double-doubles in Toronto debut

    Jackson-Davis logged 10 points (2-4 FG, 6-10 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 16 minutes during the Raptors' 122-104 win over the Pacers on Sunday.

    Jackson-Davis was cleared to make his Raptors four days after being acquired from the Warriors, and he saw meaningful minutes off the bench in the absence of Jakob Poeltl (back). Jackson-Davis gave the Pacers fits on the boards, logging a season-high eight offensive rebounds, which led to him attempting 10 free throws for the first time this season. With Collin Murray-Boyles and Sandro Mamukelashvili also on the roster, it's unclear what kind of playing time Jackson-Davis will see once Poeltl is cleared to return.

  • Jalen Duren C | DET

    Pistons' Jalen Duren: Likely to play Monday

    Duren (knee) is probable for Monday's game against the Hornets.

    Duren missed Friday's game against the Knicks due to right knee soreness, but he will likely return to action Monday. Over his last five non-injury-shortened games, Duren is averaging 19.6 points, 11.4 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1.0 steals in 28.6 minutes per contest.
