  • Celtics' Mitchell Robinson: Exits to locker room

    Robinson (undisclosed) exited to the locker room in the first quarter of Monday's game against the Rockets, Gary Washburn of The Boston Globe reports.

    It's unclear exactly why Robinson headed back to the locker room, though he can be considered questionable to return until more information comes to light. If he's unable to return, Luka Garza would likely see increased burn.

  • Warriors' Brandon Williams: Won't play Monday

    Williams (quadriceps) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Suns.

    Williams will be held out of the second leg of this back-to-back set due to a left quad contusion. His next chance to play will come Thursday against Miami. Will Richard and De'Anthony Melton could see a bump in minutes in Williams' stead.

  • Adou Thiero SF | LAL

    Lakers' Adou Thiero: Trending in right direction

    Head coach JJ Redick said Monday that Thiero (knee) has participated in live action, and the hope is that he'll be available by the end of the week, Khobi Price of The California Post reports.

    Thiero has yet to make his season debut while recovering from a left knee injury, though he's trending in the right direction. However, the second-year forward isn't expected to play a meaningful role once healthy.

  • Celtics' Mitchell Robinson: Coming off bench Monday

    Robinson (rest) won't start Monday's game against the Rockets, Lachard Binkley of SI.com reports.

    After sitting out Sunday's 108-97 win over Orlando to rest, Robinson will play and come off the bench for the first time in 2026-27. Neemias Queta will get a second consecutive start, while Luka Garza will likely see his minutes reduced substantially.

  • Celtics' Baylor Scheierman: Starting Monday

    Scheierman will start Monday's game against the Rockets, Lachard Binkley of SI.com reports.

    Scheierman will earn his first start of the season after scoring a season-high 10 points in 20 minutes off the bench during Sunday's 108-97 win over Orlando. Hugo Gonzalez will slide back to the bench after starting the first leg of this back-to-back for Boston.

  • Alpha Diallo SF | DEN

    Nuggets' Alpha Diallo: Available Monday

    Diallo (wrist) is available for Monday's game against the Trail Blazers.

    Diallo hasn't appeared in a game since the regular-season opener due to a personal issue and a wrist injury, but he's been cleared to suit up Monday. He logged 22 minutes in the opener and could see a similar workload Monday due to Spencer Jones (hamstring) remaining sidelined.

  • Marcus Smart PG | HOU

    Rockets' Marcus Smart: Moving to bench

    Smart will come off the bench for Monday's game against the Celtics, Lachard Binkley of SI.com reports.

    Smart will shift to the bench Monday due to Fred VanVleet returning from a one-game absence. Smart is averaging 7.7 points, 2.3 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.7 steals in three appearances as a reserve this season.

  • Caleb Martin SF | DAL

    Mavericks' Caleb Martin: Joining first unit

    Martin will start Monday's game against the Kings, Christian Clark of The Athletic reports.

    Martin will shift into the starting five Monday due to Kyrie Irving (knee) being unavailable. The 31-year-old Martin has appeared in two games this season, most recently logging eight points in 25 minutes Friday against Houston.

  • Cam Spencer SG | MEM

    Grizzlies' Cam Spencer: Won't start Monday

    Spencer won't start Monday's game against New Orleans.

    Ty Jerome (back) is back in the lineup, sending Spencer to the second unit. The sharpshooter has averaged 8.6 points, 3.6 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 0.8 steals while shooting 58.8 percent from downtown across 18.0 minutes per game in five appearances off the bench this season.

  • Timberwolves' Joan Beringer: Not starting Monday

    Beringer will not start Monday's game against the Bucks.

    As expected, with Rudy Gobert (back) returning to the lineup Monday, Beringer will shift back to the bench.
