Jay Huff C | IND
Pacers' Jay Huff: Drawing steady starts
Huff finished with 14 points (5-6 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-4 FT), four rebounds and three blocks in 28 minutes during Sunday's 125-106 loss to Memphis.
Huff's role has fluctuated in 2025-26, but he's settling back into a starting spot. The journeyman big man has started seven straight contests, averaging 11.7 points, 3.7 rebounds, 1.9 blocks, 1.7 assists and 1.1 three-pointers in 24.8 minutes per game while shooting 52.6 percent from the floor.

Gregory Jackson PF | MEM
Grizzlies' GG Jackson: Continues to produce
Jackson accumulated 11 points (4-12 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds, two assists and three blocks over 20 minutes during Sunday's 125-106 victory over the Pacers.
It looks like a youth movement is just about underway for Memphis, with Jackson being one of the main fantasy beneficiaries. The third-year forward has started 10 of his 11 games following the Jaren Jackson (knee) trade, during which GG has averaged 16.4 points, 6.0 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.2 blocks in 26.0 minutes per tilt while shooting 54.8 percent from the field.

Grizzlies' Jaylen Wells: Efficient 18 points in win
Wells provided 18 points (8-9 FG, 2-3 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist and two steals across 21 minutes during Sunday's 125-106 win over the Pacers.
Wells continues to start for Memphis, but he hasn't played at least 30 minutes in a game since Dec. 30. The second-year swingman has averaged 14.4 points, 2.6 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.1 steals in 24.7 minutes per tilt in his last eight games, shooting 53.7 percent from the floor.

Giannis Antetokounmpo PF | MIL
Bucks' Giannis Antetokounmpo: Poised to return Monday
Antetokounmpo (calf) is officially listed as questionable but is expected to play Monday against the Celtics, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
After missing the past five weeks while recovering from his second right calf strain of the season, Antetokounmpo looks like he'll get the green light to play in the second leg of Milwaukee's back-to-back set. The 26-33 Bucks currently sit three games behind the Hornets for the 10th spot in the Eastern Conference, but the return of Antetokounmpo should bolster Milwaukee's chances of securing a spot in the Play-In Tournament. Given how long Antetokounmpo has been sidelined, expect his minutes to be monitored carefully Monday, and perhaps over the next few contests thereafter.

Davion Mitchell PG | MIA
Heat's Davion Mitchell: Goes through practice
Mitchell (shoulder) was able to practice Monday, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
Mitchell suffered a left shoulder contusion in Saturday's win over the Rockets, and that's notable because he battled a left shoulder injury earlier this season. It sounds like he's day-to-day, and his status for Tuesday's game versus Brooklyn will be established Monday afternoon or evening when the team releases its injury report.

Cooper Flagg SF | DAL
Mavericks' Cooper Flagg: Nearing return to action
NBA reporter Marc Stein said Monday that he's hearing that Flagg (foot) is nearing a return to action.
Flagg has missed the past seven games for Dallas, and it's understandable that the team has been cautious with him given where it sits in the standings. Flagg's status for Tuesday's game against Charlotte remains up in the air, but fantasy managers will have a better idea once the Mavericks submit their injury report Monday afternoon or evening.

Khaman Maluach C | PHO
Suns' Khaman Maluach: Rejoins Phoenix
Phoenix recalled Maluach from the G League's Valley Suns on Sunday.
Maluach will rejoin the Suns ahead of Tuesday's game at Sacramento after he played 33 minutes for the G League club in Saturday's 112-105 win over the Texas Legends. With Mark Williams and Oso Ighodaro ahead of him on the depth chart at center, Maluach is unlikely to be in line for anything more than garbage-time minutes Tuesday.
