Bagley (neck) is out for Tuesday's game against Charlotte.

Bagley will be sidelined for a third straight contest, and it remains to be seen if he will be able to play Thursday against Orlando. In the meantime, Dwight Powell is likely to soak up the backup center minutes.

Washington is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Hornets with a left ankle sprain.

Washington is trying to end a three-game absence Tuesday. If the forward cannot suit up, Khris Middleton and Max Christie would both be worthwhile streaming options in most fantasy formats against Charlotte.

Flagg (foot) is doubtful for Tuesday's game against Charlotte.

It was reported Monday morning that Flagg was getting closer to a return, but it appears as though he will miss his eighth straight game Tuesday. His fantasy managers will be hoping he's cleared in time to return for Thursday's game against Orlando.

Watson has been ramping up his basketball activities as he continues to recover from a right hamstring strain and is slated to be re-examined later this week, Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints.com reports.

The Nuggets may provide more details on where Watson stands in his recovery from the injury once he's checked out in the next few days, but Siegel relays that the team is hopeful that the fourth-year forward can return to action in the next 7-to-10 days. Watson has been sidelined since Feb. 7, with the hamstring injury interrupting what had been a breakthrough season for the 23-year-old.

Black is probable for Tuesday's game against the Wizards with a right quad contusion.

Despite being unable to practice Monday, Black is likely to suit up Tuesday after missing Sunday's loss to Detroit. Black has averaged 11.4 points, 2.8 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.8 steals in 33.2 minutes per tilt in his last five games. Tristan da Silva looks like the most likely choice to move to the bench.

Johnson is out for Monday's game against Utah with right ankle inflammation.

Johnson came away from Sunday's loss to the Timberwolves with the issue and will need at least one contest on the sidelines. With Johnson, Aaron Gordon (hamstring) and Spencer Jones (shoulder) all out of action Monday, Tim Hardaway, Bruce Brown and Julian Strawther are each worthy of streaming consideration in all fantasy formats.

Jones (shoulder) is out for Monday's game against the Jazz.

Jones will be sidelined for a second straight contest Monday. His next chance to play comes Thursday against the Lakers. In the meantime, players like Julian Strawther, Tim Hardaway and Bruce Brown could pick up the slack for Denver.

Gordon (hamstring) is out for Monday's game against the Jazz.

Gordon will be sidelined for a 16h straight game due to a right hamstring strain, though head coach David Adelman hinted last Tuesday that the veteran forward could be closing in on a return. The Nuggets will play their 62nd game of the season Monday, and Adelman told Ryan Blackburn of MileHighSports.com that he's hoping that the team can get fully healthy with around 20 games to go. According to Bennett Durando of The Denver Post, Adelman also said last Tuesday that Gordon was doing "basically everything but contact stuff" in practice, but it's unclear how much the veteran forward has progressed since then. Expect the Nuggets to provide another update on Gordon's status leading up to their Thursday/Friday back-to-back set versus the Lakers and Knicks, respectively.

Antetokounmpo (illness) is available for Monday's game against Boston.

After missing Sunday's game against the Bulls, the veteran forward will be available to be an emergency depth piece off the bench Monday. He has 22 appearances on the season but hasn't seen more than eight minutes in any game.

Gobert supplied seven points (3-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 15 rebounds, four assists, one block and three steals in 38 minutes during Sunday's 117-108 victory over the Nuggets.

For the 13th time this campaign, Gobert pulled down at least 15 rebounds. Gobert is in the midst of a strong stretch with averages of 10.0 points, 16.0 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 1.3 steals and 2.3 blocks over his last four games.
