Collins (ankle) is questionable for Monday's game against the Bucks, per Law Murray of The Athletic.

The Clippers initially deemed Collins probable due to a left ankle sprain, so it's possible he suffered a slight setback during Monday's morning shootaround. If Collins is ultimately downgraded to out, the likes of Jordan Miller, Kris Dunn and Nicolas Batum would all be in line for more playing time.

Fultz agreed to a 10-day contract with the Raptors on Monday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

After finishing the 2024-25 campaign on the Kings' roster, Fultz had been a free agent throughout the season before re-entering the G League player pool earlier this month. He signed with the Raptors' affiliate, Raptors 905, and appeared in six games while averaging 9.8 points, 5.3 assists, 2.5 rebounds, 0.5 steals and 0.5 blocks in 22.1 minutes. Fultz made enough of an impression for the Raptors to bring him aboard on a short-term contract, and the veteran point guard could have a chance at entering the rotation right away. Immanuel Quickley (foot) is sitting out Monday's game in Utah, and the Raptors have little depth at point guard beyond Jamal Shead.

Portland recalled Hansen from the G League's Rip City Remix on Monday.

The Trail Blazers will play the second leg of a back-to-back set Monday, so Hansen will be summoned to provide further depth in the frontcourt in the event Robert Williams (knee) is rested. Even if Williams ends up sitting out, Hansen won't be assured a spot in the Portland rotation, as interim head coach Tiago Splitter could turn to Sidy Cissoko to serve as a small-ball center when starter Donovan Clingan is off the court.

Scheierman recorded five points (2-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt), four rebounds and two assists over 29 minutes during Sunday's 102-92 loss to the Timberwolves.

Despite a sizable workload for Boston, Scheierman was unable to make much of an impact on the stat sheet. Over his last seven games, he ranks outside the top 200 in nine-category formats with averages of 5.4 points, 6.1 rebounds and 2.9 assists in 28.0 minutes per contest.

Pritchard recorded 10 points (4-11 FG, 2-6 3Pt), one rebound, three assists and one steal over 27 minutes during Sunday's 102-92 loss to the Timberwolves.

Pritchard continues to play a massive role for the Celtics. Over his last six games, he's averaging 14.2 points, 4.5 assists, 3.2 rebounds, 0.8 steals and 2.5 three-pointers on 38.3 percent shooting from the field across 32.6 minutes per contest.

Walter totaled 13 points (5-7 FG, 3-3 3Pt), three rebounds and one assist over 26 minutes during Sunday's 120-98 loss to the Suns.

That's now four games in his past five contests with double-digit points for Walter, who has a chance to see an expanded role in Monday's clash with the Jazz because of Immanuel Quickley's (foot) absence. Walter has averaged 12.0 points, 3.0 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 2.6 three-pointers in 21.3 minutes per tilt in his last five games, shooting an absurd 68.4 percent from downtown during this stretch.

Gordon ended Sunday's 128-112 win over the Trail Blazers with 12 points (4-7 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds and four assists over 28 minutes.

Gordon is still ramping back up to 100 percent and is starting to find his groove again. Over his last six games, he's shooting 50.0 percent from the field with averages of 15.0 points, 5.3 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 2.0 three-pointers in 27.0 minutes per contest.

Dick registered 10 points (2-4 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one steal over 15 minutes during Sunday's 120-98 loss to Phoenix.

The 2023 first-rounder has been part of Toronto's rotation for just two of the team's last five contests, implying he's not a major aspect of the mix for the time being. That said, Dick has an opportunity to remain in the lineup for Monday's matchup with the Jazz due to the absence of Immanuel Quickley (foot).

Clarkson totaled eight points (4-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt), three rebounds, four assists and one steal in 23 minutes during Sunday's 145-113 victory over the Wizards.

Clarkson has been shooting the ball at a high level over his last seven games with a 54.5 percent mark from the field. He's seeing just 19.3 minutes per contest, however, posting averages of 10.9 points, 1.9 assist and 1.9 rebounds.

Shead had two points (1-6 FG, 0-4 3Pt), one rebound, six assists and one block across 21 minutes during Sunday's 120-98 loss to Phoenix.

With Immanuel Quickley (foot) set to miss Monday's tilt versus the Jazz, Shead is a prime candidate to start at point guard. Shead has averaged 5.0 assists, 4.2 points and 1.5 rebounds in 21.8 minutes per tilt in his last six games, shooting a miserable 31.0 percent from the floor.
