Eubanks will enter the starting lineup in Monday's game against Milwaukee.

The 27-year-old big man will enter the starting lineup with Walker Kessler (shoulder) on the shelf. Over his last 10 outings (two starts), Eubanks has averaged 7.7 points and 6.2 rebounds in 19.0 minutes per contest.

Ayton (knee) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Bucks.

Ayton is in jeopardy of missing a fourth straight game Tuesday due to a left knee sprain. If the star big man cannot suit up for the Trail Blazers against Milwaukee, the lion's share of the center minutes would be divvied up among rookie first-rounder Donovan Clingan and veteran Robert Williams in Portland's rotation.

Kornet will start in Monday's matchup against the Rockets, John Karalis of BostonSportsJournal.com reports.

The big man will receive his sixth start of the season with Al Horford coming off the bench Monday. Kornet has averaged 9.8 points, 4.2 rebounds, 2.6 blocks, 2.0 assists and 1.4 steals in 28.4 minutes per game over his five appearances in the starting lineup thus far.

Horford will come off the bench in Monday's game against Houston, John Karalis of BostonSportsJournal.com reports.

A previous report stated that the veteran big man would enter the starting lineup Monday, though Luke Kornet will end up receiving the starting nod alongside Kristaps Porzingis in the frontcourt. Horford has played in three of the club's last five outings, during which he has averaged 3.0 points and 4.7 rebounds in 21.0 minutes per game off the bench.

Hukporti (illness) is available for Monday's game against Memphis.

Hukporti was added to the injury report as questionable due to illness, but it won't keep him from Monday's action. He's not currently part of the regular rotation, making only three appearances in New York's last 16 matchups.

Bitadze (concussion) will be deployed off the bench in Monday's game against the Heat, Philip Rossman-Reich of OrlandoMagicDaily.com reports.

Bitadze is in line for his first game action since Jan. 12 after clearing the league's concussion protocol, and he'll be utilized as reserve in an effort to ease him back into play. The Magic could limit the big man's minutes to ensure he makes it out of Monday's matchup without any setbacks.

Horford (toe) is available and starting in Monday's game against the Rockets, Lachard Binkley of SI.com reports.

Horford will suit up after having been deemed questionable due to a left great toe sprain. The veteran big man has played in three of the club's last five outings, during which he has averaged 3.0 points and 4.7 rebounds in 21.0 minutes per game off the bench.

Gibson is coming off the bench in Monday's game against the Lakers.

After playing 12 minutes in Saturday's spot start against the Pelicans, Gibson will revert back to his usual role off Charlotte's bench in Mark Williams' return Monday. Gibson is not a lock to see the floor against the Lakers, so he can be left on the waiver wire in most fantasy leagues.

Davis (foot) is available for Monday's game against Charlotte, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.

Davis has been a regular on the Lakers' injury report due to left foot plantar fasciitis, and he'll play through the issue Monday. Over his last 10 outings, Davis has averaged 25.4 points on 51.6 percent shooting, 12.8 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 2.7 blocks and 1.6 steals over 35.2 minutes per game.

Poeltl (back) is available for Monday's game against the Pelicans, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.

Poeltl was considered questionable for Monday's game due to back stiffness, but the veteran big man will play through the issue. The 2016 first-round pick has averaged 12.0 points, 9.1 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.0 blocks over 29.5 minutes across his last 10 outings.
