Reid produced 33 points (11-18 FG, 6-10 3Pt, 5-5 FT), seven rebounds and three assists in 27 minutes during Monday's 136-101 victory over the Bulls.

Reid played a key role in Minnesota's comeback win, leading the team in points and made triples in his best scoring night of the 2025-26 campaign. Monday's performance was much needed from Reid, who had been hitting at a clip of 25.5 percent from downtown in his previous six appearances.

Adams has been ruled out for the remainder of Monday's game against the Pacers due to a right ankle sprain, Vanessa Richardson of Space City Home Network reports. He totaled eight points (3-4 FG, 2-6 FT), five rebounds and one block in 22 minutes prior to exiting.

Adams departed Monday's action in the third quarter, and after being evaluated further, Houston has decided to shut the big man down for the night. His availability for Thursday's game in Brooklyn is up in the air at this point.

Hukporti won't return to Monday's game against the Pelicans due to a mouth laceration.

The big man sustained a cut in his mouth, and it seems the problem is severe enough to keep him sidelined for the rest of the game. He'll finish with no counting stats in 12 minutes of action off the bench. Hukporti's next chance to play will come Wednesday on the road against the Spurs.

Adams (undisclosed) exited to the locker room in the third quarter of Monday's game against the Pacers, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports.

It's unclear why Adams headed to the locker room, though he can be considered questionable to return until more information comes to light. With Alperen Sengun (calf) unavailable, Clint Capela should see increased playing time if Adams is unable to return.

Williams (knee) is available for Monday's game against the Mavericks.

After sitting out Sunday's win over Boston due to left knee injury management, Williams will return for the second leg of this back-to-back set. Over his last five appearances, the big man has averaged 7.0 points, 8.6 rebounds and 1.4 assists in 17.6 minutes per contest.

Jokic (knee) won't return to Monday's game against the Heat, Sam Amick of The Athletic reports.

Jokic went down late in the second quarter and limped to the locker room before eventually being ruled out for the remainder of the game with a left knee injury. He'll finish with 21 points (9-14 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-3 FT), eight assists and five rebounds in 19 minutes. If the three-time MVP is forced to miss additional time, Jonas Valanciunas and Zeke Nnaji are candidates for increased playing time. Jokic's next chance to play will come Wednesday against the Raptors, and the Nuggets are expected to provide an update on his status by Tuesday night.

Davis (thigh) won't play Monday against Portland, Christian Clark of The Athletic reports.

Davis attended Monday's morning shootaround but ultimately isn't feeling healthy enough to give it a go. This will mark his second straight absence due to a right thigh injury. Daniel Gafford should be in line for another start at center with Davis sidelined.

Jokic is questionable to return to Monday's game against the Heat due to a left knee injury.

Jokic went down at the end of the first half and was ultimately able to walk off under his own power. However, his status for the remainder of the matchup remains up in the air. Jonas Valanciunas started the third quarter in Jokic's place.

Jokic exited to the locker room after sustaining an apparent left knee injury in the second quarter of Monday's game against the Heat, Vinny Benedetto of The Denver Gazette reports.

Jokic went down late in the second quarter and grabbed at his left knee before limping back to the locker room. If the superstar big man is unable to return for the second half, Jonas Valanciunas and Zeke Nnaji will likely pick up the slack the rest of the way.

Collins (illness) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Kings.

Collins is still under the weather and is in jeopardy of missing his second consecutive contest. If the 28-year-old forward is unable to give it a go Tuesday, Nicolas Batum will likely take on an increased role. Over his last five games, Collins has averaged 13.6 points, 5.2 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 2.0 combined steals-plus-blocks in 26.8 minutes per tilt.
