Sabonis (back) is out for Monday against the Pelicans.

Sabonis will be sidelined for a third straight game, but he continues to be listed as day-to-day. Presumably, the Kings are going to move forward with extreme caution. In the meantime, Maxime Raynaud and Dylan Cardwell are expected to hold down the fort at center.

McConnell accumulated 10 points (5-5 FG), three rebounds, seven assists and one block across 16 minutes during Sunday's 122-104 loss to the Raptors.

The veteran floor general continues to be an effective per-minute contributor for the Pacers. McConnell has averaged 8.8 points, 4.7 assists, 2.2 rebounds and 1.0 steals in 15.9 minutes per contest in his last six games, but his fantasy value is likely to remain held back by his role and lack of availability on both ends of back-to-backs.

Fontecchio amassed 12 points (4-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five rebounds, three assists and three steals across 19 minutes during Sunday's 132-101 victory over the Wizards.

Fontecchio is carving out a solid role for himself in the Miami rotation recently. The sharpshooter has averaged 9.3 points, 4.1 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.6 three-pointers in 20.8 minutes per contest in his last seven games, while the Heat have dealt with several absences.

Gobert ended with 10 points (5-7 FG, 0-1 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and one block over 30 minutes during Sunday's 115-96 loss to the Clippers.

Gobert continues to go about his business as a reliable source of boards and swats. Over his last seven appearances, the veteran center has averaged 9.7 points, 11.1 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 1.4 blocks and 1.3 steals in 29.5 minutes per game.

Johnson is questionable for Monday's game against Minnesota with left knee inflammation.

Johnson is a late addition to the injury report, which is generally a bad sign. If the star forward can't play, more playing time would open up for Corey Kispert and Zaccharie Risacher in the Atlanta frontcourt.

Jones closed with five points (2-3 FG, 1-1 3Pt), four rebounds, four assists, one block and three steals across 28 minutes during Sunday's 115-96 win over the Timberwolves.

Jones continues to work his way back from an extended absence with a knee injury, chipping in a full stat line. Over his last three appearances, Jones has averaged 8.3 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.7 steals in 25.8 minutes per contest.

Ingram supplied 13 points (5-12 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five rebounds, three assists and one block over 26 minutes during Sunday's 122-104 victory over the Pacers.

This was a rare off night for Ingram, so fantasy managers shouldn't be overly concerned about it. Over his last 14 outings, he's been a third-round value in nine-category formats with 22.5 points, 5.6 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 0.9 steals, 0.9 blocks and 2.1 three-pointers.

Mitchell ended Sunday's 132-101 victory over the Wizards with five points (2-6 FG, 1-3 3Pt), two rebounds, three assists and one steal across 25 minutes.

Mitchell drew another start, but he was outproduced by Kasparas Jakucionis -- the rookie had 22 points in 26 minutes off the bench. Mitchell has been trending down for several weeks now, making this a position battle worth monitoring.

Carrington finished with 13 points (6-13 FG, 1-6 3Pt), two rebounds, five assists and one steal across 29 minutes during Sunday's 132-101 loss to the Heat.

Tre Johnson (ankle) doesn't appear close to returning, and it doesn't sound like D'Angelo Russell has a future with the Wizards. Carrington is seeing 25.2 minutes per contest over his last eight outings, but he's averaging just 11.9 points, 4.1 assists, 2.0 rebounds and 2.3 three-pointers on 40.7 percent shooting from the field in that span.

Miller finished Sunday's 115-96 win over the Timberwolves with eight points (1-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 6-6 FT), one rebound and four assists in 23 minutes.

Miller continues to play meaningful minutes for the Clippers, but his playing time could take a hit once Darius Garland (toe) is ready to make his team debut. Over his last five appearances, Miller has averaged 12.2 points, 3.4 rebounds and 2.6 assists in 25.6 minutes per game while shooting 52.4 percent from the floor.
