Queta ended Sunday's 111-89 loss to the Knicks with four points (2-4 FG), five rebounds and one assist over 23 minutes.

Queta saw 23 minutes as the starting center, matching the workload of Nikola Vucevic. This has the look of a timeshare, but it could fluctuate depending on matchups -- Queta is more of a defensive presence while Vucevic is instant offense.

Bridges ended Sunday's 111-89 win over the Celtics with 14 points (5-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four rebounds, one assist and one block over 30 minutes.

This was a quiet night for Bridges, but he's still churning out mid-round fantasy value on a consistent basis. Over his last eight outings, Bridges has been a sixth-round value in nine-category formats with 16.1 points, 3.5 assists, 2.4 rebounds, 0.8 steals and 1.9 three-pointers in 33.6 minutes per contest.

Herro (ribs) is out for Monday's game against the Jazz.

Herro's absence with an injury to his ribs appears to have no end in sight. His last chance to return before the All-Star break comes Wednesday in New Orleans, but Herro should be deemed doubtful for that contest.

Adebayo is probable for Monday's game against the Jazz with right hip tightness.

Adebayo is likely to play the second half of Miami's back-to-back set. The star big man has averaged 21.6 points, 10.5 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.6 steals in 32.5 minutes per contest in his last 10 games.

Powell (back) is questionable for Monday's game against Utah.

Powell left Sunday's game against the Wizards early with lower back tightness, but he's considered day-to-day. However, the Heat may opt for caution for the second leg of this back-to-back set. If Powell is unable to go, Jaime Jaquez and Myron Gardner could potentially see expanded roles.

Larsson (elbow) is doubtful for Monday's game against Utah.

Larsson is expected to remain on the shelf while nursing an elbow bruise. With this news, the Heat could rely more on Myron Gardner and Simone Fontecchio.

McNeeley has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Pistons due to a left ankle sprain.

McNeeley was recalled from the G League's Greensboro Swarm on Monday, but he's still nursing an ankle injury and isn't ready to play. His next chance to suit up will come Wednesday against the Hawks, but he's not expected to be included in the rotation if he's available.

Love will be rested Monday against the Heat.

Maintenance days have been par for the course for Love this season. With this news, Kyle Filipowski and John Konchar could see a slight uptick in minutes.

Wagner (ankle) is available for Monday's game against the Bucks.

Wagner, who has missed the past nine games for Orlando, officially has the green light to return after shaking off his questionable tag. After such a lengthy stint on the sidelines, he may face major restrictions in his first game back. However, Wagner has never come off the bench in his career, so with this news, Anthony Black is likely to retreat to the second unit.

The Timberwolves announced Monday that Shannon (foot) has been cleared for full-contact, 5-on-5 basketball activities and will be assigned to the G League's Iowa Wolves this week.

Shannon hasn't made an appearance for the Timberwolves since Dec. 25 due to a left foot abductor hallucis strain, but he's been steadily progressing and appears to be nearing the finish line in his recovery. He's scheduled to play in a game for Iowa on Tuesday against the Austin Spurs, and if all goes well, he'll rejoin the Timberwolves and return to action following the All-Star break.
