Max Strus SG | CLE
Cavaliers' Max Strus: Won't suit up Monday
Strus (foot) is out for Monday's game against Memphis.
This is a maintenance day for the sharpshooter for the second leg of this back-to-back set. Strus had a tough showing Sunday against the Pacers with four points on 1-of-10 shooting from the field.

Gregory Jackson PF | MEM
Grizzlies' GG Jackson: Absent from injury report
Jackson (knee) is available for Monday's game versus Cleveland.
After missing Sunday's loss to Milwaukee with left knee soreness, Jackson has been removed from the injury report. He's looking to extend a streak of double-digit scoring games to 23 straight Monday, with Jackson averaging 18.2 points, 5.3 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 1.0 blocks in 26.0 minutes per game during this streak.

Jaylon Tyson SF | CLE
Cavaliers' Jaylon Tyson: Out again Monday
Tyson (toe) is out for Monday's game against the Grizzlies.
Tyson will be sidelined for a ninth straight game and remains without a timetable to return. His next chance to play comes Wednesday against Atlanta.

Ty Jerome SG | MEM
Grizzlies' Ty Jerome: Ruled out Monday
Jerome (ankle) is out for Monday's game versus Cleveland.
A left ankle sprain is costing Jerome an eighth consecutive contest. Walter Clayton and Rayan Rupert should see plenty of reps at point guard Monday.

Donovan Mitchell SG | CLE
Cavaliers' Donovan Mitchell: Sitting out Monday
Mitchell is listed out for Monday's game against the Grizzlies due to a right ankle sprain.
Though Mitchell is being listed with an injury, the Cavaliers are most likely just giving him a day of rest for the second leg of their back-to-back set. Mitchell didn't seem to be hindered by an injury in a 117-108 win over the Pacers on Sunday, finishing with 38 points (16-27 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 4-5 FT), six rebounds, six assists and one steal over 33 minutes.

Bez Mbeng SG | UTA
Jazz's Bez Mbeng: Dropped from rotation Sunday
Mbeng (coach's decision) went unused off the bench Sunday in the Jazz's 146-111 loss to the Thunder.
Since joining the Jazz on March 13, Mbeng had been a staple in the rotation and averaged 29.8 minutes over his 12 appearances, but he was surprisingly phased out of the mix Sunday. Rather than turning to Mbeng on the second unit, head coach Will Hardy called upon Svi Mykhailiuk -- who had played in just one of the Jazz's previous 17 games -- to fill the eighth and final spot in the rotation. While the arrangement may not be permanent moving forward, Mbeng's lack of playing time Sunday illustrates the risk that the rookie guard will carry as a streaming option for steals over Utah's final three games of the season.

Isaiah Stewart PF | DET
Pistons' Isaiah Stewart: Now doubtful Monday
Stewart (calf) is listed as doubtful for Monday's game versus Orlando.
The Pistons are upgrading Stewart from out to doubtful Monday, signaling that he's inching closer to returning from a left calf strain. Paul Reed should remain worth streaming in deep fantasy leagues for at least one more contest.
-
Duncan Robinson SG | DET
Pistons' Duncan Robinson: Downgraded to doubtful
Robinson (hip) is listed as doubtful for Monday's game in Orlando.
After initially being listed as questionable, Robinson is now expected to sit out with a hip strain. Marcus Sasser and Kevin Huerter should see more playing time at shooting guard Monday.
