Sharpe (hamstring) is available for Monday's game against the Bulls.

Sharpe was cleared for on-court activities back on Nov. 27 and now appears set to make his season debut. He's likely to have restrictions in his first game back, but he's someone to watch in deeper formats with so many injuries in Brooklyn.

Davis (foot) is probable for Monday's game against the Timberwolves, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Probable tags have been par for the course for Davis as he continues to manage his left foot issue. He was dominant in Sunday's win over the Jazz, producing 33 points (13-25 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 11 rebounds, one block and two steals over 39 minutes.

Embiid (knee, personal reasons) will not play Tuesday against the Hornets, Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Embiid isn't healthy enough to play right now, but he's also away from the team for personal reasons. His status for Wednesday against Orlando is questionable at best. With Andre Drummond (ankle) out for the next three games, players such as Guerschon Yabusele, KJ Martin and Adem Bona could see extended minutes in the frontcourt.

Ware (foot) will not play Monday against the Celtics.

Ware will miss his second game in a row, and his timetable remains murky at best. His absence doesn't carry many fantasy implications, however, as he's been a fringe rotation player for Miami.

Horford (rest/toe) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Heat, Jay King of The Athletic reports.

As expected, Horford will take a seat for the second half of Boston's back-to-back set after posting eight points, five rebounds, one assist, one steal and one block in 30 minutes during Sunday's loss to Cleveland. With Kristaps Porzingis (rest/knee) also out, Neemias Queta, Luke Kornet and Xavier Tillman are all candidates for increased roles.

Porzingis won't play Monday against Miami due to left posterior tibiialis tendon injury management, Jay King of The Athletic reports.

As expected, Porzingis will be held out for the second leg of this back-to-back set for maintenance reasons. Fantasy managers can expect him back Wednesday against Detroit. With Al Horford (toe) also resting Monday, Neemias Queta and Luke Kornet will likely cover most of the minutes at center.

Drummond (ankle) will miss the next three games for the 76ers, Ky Carlin of USA Today reports.

Drummond will be re-evaluated this coming weekend, meaning the earliest possible return date will be Dec. 8 against the Bulls. With Joel Embiid's (knee) status still in the air, the 76ers may need Guerschon Yabusele, KJ Martin and even Adem Bona to step up.

Jokic logged 28 points (12-24 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 2-4 FT), 14 rebounds, 11 assists, one block and one steal over 39 minutes during Sunday's 126-122 loss to the Clippers.

Even though the Nuggets came up short of getting the win Sunday, Jokic made history with his league-leading eighth triple-double of the season. He racked up the 138th triple-double of his career and tied Magic Johnson for third all-time in league history. Jokic has been an excellent fantasy option across all formats, and there aren't enough adjectives to describe how good he's been for Denver this season. In 15 games, Jokic is averaging 29.6 points, 13.2 rebounds and 10.7 assists per game, establishing new career-high marks in every one of those categories.

Sabonis finished with 25 points (8-16 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 7-10 FT), 13 rebounds and six assists in 37 minutes during Sunday's 127-125 loss to San Antonio.

Sabonis couldn't repeat the triple-double he notched in the loss to the Trail Blazers on Friday, but he kept his double-double streak alive. He's recorded either a triple-double or a double-double in every game except the season opener, when he finished with 24 points and eight rebounds in a loss to the Timberwolves on Oct. 24. Sabonis' consistency and high-end play has been one of the few bright spots in what has been an up-and-down season for the Kings so far.

Wembanyama registered 34 points (11-17 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 7-9 FT), 14 rebounds, 11 assists, three blocks and one steal in 37 minutes during Sunday's 127-125 victory over the Kings.

Wembanyama played a huge role in this tight win, showing an efficient touch from the field and looking absolutely dominant on both ends of the court. The star big man has racked up four double-doubles and one triple-double over his last eight contests while posting multiple blocks each time. That translates to a loaded stat line of 31.1 points, 11.0 rebounds, 4.6 assists, 3.4 blocks and 1.1 steals per game in that stretch.
