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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Burries will start Monday's game against the Timberwolves.

The rookie No. 10 overall pick will get the starting nod for the first time in his young NBA career, pushing Ryan Rollins to the second unit. Over six regular-season games, Burries is averaging 8.8 points, 3.7 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 0.7 steals across 15.8 minutes per tilt.

Rollins isn't in the starting lineup for Monday's game against Minnesota.

Rollins has struggled mightily to open the campaign, resulting in a change to the starting lineup. Brayden Burries, who's scored in double figures in each of his last two showings off the bench, will draw the start at point guard.
