R. Spalding - PF

CHA

Spalding (calf) was waived by Houston on Saturday, Alykhan Bijani of The Athletic reports.

Spalding was claimed off waivers by the Rockets on Oct. 10 but missed the last two preseason games with a calf injury. He averaged 3.9 points and 3.4 rebounds over 10.6 minutes with the Mavericks and Suns last season.

N/A

D. Russell - PG

MIN

D'Angelo Russell (quad contusion) is unlikely to play on Monday vs. the Warriors.

Coach Ryan Saunders said on Monday that Russell injured his quad on Friday vs. Atlanta, but previously said he sat out Saturday's game for a pre-planned rest day. Very strange. Saunders added that Russell is dealing with some swelling and it sounds like they are going to be very cautious here. You could make an argument that are determined to do their best to keep their top-3 protected pick. With Russell likely to sit, Ricky Rubio will get extensive run as the primary ball-handler with Jordan McLaughlin backing him up.

N/A

J. Ennis - SF

ORL

James Ennis (right quad/hamstring) is questionable for Monday vs. the Hornets.

He missed a lot of time to begin the season so the Magic may opt to rest him this evening for the second game of this back-to-back. Dwayne Bacon would pick up more run if Ennis sits, but he's a very uninspiring fantasy option.

N/A

D. House - SF

HOU

Danuel House (protocols) went through practice on Monday.

House has been out since Jan. 2nd and coach Stephen Silas said it will take a while to ramp his conditioning up. For that reason, House may not see the floor on Tuesday but he claims that he will be ready to play.

Added 1:49 pm (EST)

Adam Wexler

N/A

C. Wood - C

HOU

Christian Wood (personal reasons) did not practice on Monday.

If we're lucky, we'll get an update on his ankle this evening. Wood has missed two games in a row but the Rockets were optimistic about him playing early this week. If he can't go, look for DeMarcus Cousins to feast once again after going off for 28 points (9-of-15 FGs, 6-of-7 FTs), 17 rebounds, five assists and four 3-pointers in a win over the Mavericks.

N/A

J. Tatum - PF

BOS

Jayson Tatum (COVID-19) is no longer on the injury report for Monday vs. the Bulls.

He's officially back for his first game since Jan. 8th. We wouldn't be surprised if the Celtics eased him back into things tonight but we won't have the official word on his restrictions until later.

N/A

A. Gordon - PF

ORL

Aaron Gordon (hip/back soreness) is probable for Monday vs. Charlotte.

Based on coach Steve Clifford's comments over the weekend, the Magic were just being cautious on the front end of a back-to-back. We're expecting Gordon to see his usual allotment of minutes this evening.

W. Carter - C

CHI

Wendell Carter Jr. (thigh contusion) will not play on Monday vs. Boston.

This was the expectation with WCJ carrying a doubtful tag prior to this. Thaddeus Young has played at least 23 minutes in three straight and offers some low-end streaming upside for his elite steal rate, while Daniel Gafford has been a little underwhelming but still might be worth a look if you need blocks.

N/A

L. Nance - PF

CLE

Larry Nance Jr. was a surprise addition to the injury report, as he's listed out vs. the Lakers on Monday with a right wrist sprain.

We don't have additional details as this comes directly from the official injury report. Hopefully this is just a day-to-day issue. With Nance out, the Cavs may be open to using some double-center lineups, and this could be good news for Taurean Prince's streamer appeal.

N/A

P. Siakam - PF

TOR

Pascal Siakam (left knee swelling) is questionable for Monday vs. the Pacers.

This isn't much of an update as this is the second game of a back-to-back. Stanley Johnson got a rare start on Sunday, but didn't do much with it, scoring three points with six rebounds, four assists, one steal and one block. OG Anunoby benefitted the most, erupting for a 30-point effort with eight boards, five steals and four triples.

N/A

K. Lowry - PG

TOR

Kyle Lowry (toe infection, right foot) and Pascal Siakam (knee) are questionable for Monday vs. the Pacers.

This is essentially a non-update since there isn't a morning shootaround for the second game of this back-to-back. Norman Powell and Fred VanVleet both played a ton of minutes without Lowry on Sunday, scoring a combined 41 points. DeAndre' Bembry also got some rare minutes off the bench, posting a 4/3/3 line in 21 minutes.

A. Bradley - SG

MIA

Avery Bradley (COVID-protocol) could return late this week.

Bradley has already been ruled out for Monday vs. the Nets but should clear the protocols any day now, along with Jimmy Butler. With Kendrick Nunn playing so well, it's going to be interesting to see how coach Erik Spoelstra handles the rotation but we don't see a reason to pick up Bradley yet.

J. Butler - SF

MIA

There is "optimism" that Jimmy Butler (COVID-19) could be back late this week.

Butler has already been ruled out vs. the Nets, but he could clear the league’s health and safety protocols on Monday. Maybe we'll see him on Wednesday or Thursday for the back-to-back, though we'd only expect him to play in one as he ramps up his conditioning. Keep Kendrick Nunn locked into fantasy lineups until the reinforcements arrive.
