Jakob Poeltl C | TOR
Raptors' Jakob Poeltl: Limited to 20 minutes
Poeltl registered 14 points (7-9 FG) and two rebounds across 20 minutes during Sunday's 115-101 loss to the Celtics.
Poeltl had four fouls on the night which kept his minutes in check. He's been pretty solid over his last seven games, during which he has averaged 13.1 points, 6.0 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 1.0 steals in 24.4 minutes per contest.

Jazz's Svi Mykhailiuk: Strong line off bench
Mykhailiuk had 17 points (6-16 FG, 5-14 3Pt), four rebounds, one assist and one steal in 23 minutes during Sunday's 146-111 loss to the Thunder.
This was an outlier performance for Mykhailiuk in the lopsided loss, so fantasy managers probably shouldn't overreact. Over his last five games, he's averaging 12.6 points, 2.2 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 3.4 three-pointers in 16.9 minutes per contest.

Marvin Bagley III C | DAL
Mavericks' Marvin Bagley: Scores nine points in return
Bagley (shoulder) ended with nine points (4-7 FG, 1-1 3Pt), four rebounds, one block and one steal in 21 minutes during Sunday's 134-128 victory over the Lakers.
Bagley returned to action Sunday after missing the Mavericks' previous three games due to a left shoulder impingement. Though he worked as a backup to Daniel Gafford in his return, Bagley could move into the starting five Tuesday against the Clippers after Gafford was unable to return to Sunday's game after going down with a shoulder injury of his own.

Magic's Anthony Black: Probable for Monday
Black (abdomen) is probable for Monday's game against the Pistons.
Black continues to trend in the right direction. He was initially ruled out for this contest but has since been upgraded from questionable to probable. Although he's on track to return, he could face limitations in his first game back.

Nikola Jovic PF | MIA
Heat's Nikola Jovic: Won't play Tuesday
Jovic (ankle) is out for Tuesday's game against Toronto, per Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald.
It's a new injury for Jovic, who's battling a sprained left ankle. His next chance to return comes during Thursday's rematch with the Raptors.

Tyler Herro PG | MIA
Heat's Tyler Herro: Listed as probable
Herro (personal) is probable for Tuesday's game against the Raptors, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
Herro was able to practice Monday after missing Saturday's game against Washington. All signs point to him returning to the court to face Toronto.

Norman Powell SG | MIA
Heat's Norman Powell: Probable for Tuesday
Powell (illness) is probable for Tuesday's game against Toronto, per Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel.
Powell is expected to put an end to a four-game absence due to an illness. Over his last six outings, the star swingman has averaged 18.7 points, 3.3 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 2.0 three-pointers in 30.6 minutes per game.

Anthony Black PG | ORL
Magic's Anthony Black: Upgraded to questionable
Black (abdomen) is questionable for Monday's game against the Pistons.
It's a significant upgrade for Black, who now has a real chance to end a 16-game absence with a left abdominal strain Monday. Although the third-year guard would be in line for a minutes restriction if he plays versus Detroit, there would still be more of a crunch for playing time among Jamal Cain, Tristan da Silva and Jevon Carter.

Taylor Hendricks PF | MEM
Grizzlies' Taylor Hendricks: Unlikely to play Monday
Hendricks (thumb) is doubtful for Monday's game against the Cavaliers.
A right thumb sprain is likely to prevent Hendricks from playing Monday. Dariq Whitehead and Toby Okani should soak up more playing time in the frontcourt versus Cleveland.
