Poeltl (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Clippers.

Poeltl was a late scratch ahead of Sunday's loss to the Lakers and is in jeopardy of missing a second straight game due to left shoulder bursitis. If the big man is unable to suit up, Collin Murray-Boyles and Trayce Jackson-Davis would be candidates for increased burn.

Bittle (foot) is out for Monday's game against the Clippers and remains without a timetable to return.

For now, fantasy managers can assume that he's week-to-week. He's not expected to crack the rotation upon his return.

Robinson (rest) is not listed on the Celtics' injury report ahead of Monday's game against Houston.

Robinson's absence from the injury report suggests he'll be available Monday. His potential return would bolster Boston's frontcourt depth, though his minutes and role will be worth monitoring.

Capela (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Celtics.

Capela has been downgraded from questionable to out and will miss his second game of the season. With Steven Adams (knee) also sidelined, Oscar Tshiebwe could enter the rotation behind Alperen Sengun.

Cardwell is probable for Monday's game against Dallas due to a left calf strain.

Cardwell appears likely to suit up despite the calf issue. With Maxime Raynaud (knee) sidelined, Cardwell could have an opportunity for additional frontcourt minutes if he's cleared to play.

Zubac (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Hawks.

Zubac is slated to miss a fifth straight game due to an ankle sprain, and while the Pacers were optimistic about a quick return, it's fair to treat the big man as week-to-week now, given he continues to be ruled out on the team's initial injury report. In the starting center's absence, Jay Huff and Larry Nance (illness) have handled increased roles.

Sarr (knee) is out for Monday's game against Orlando.

Sarr was previously listed as questionable after picking up the knock Friday against the Hornets. With Sarr out of commission, the Wizards could lean more on backup center Deandre Ayton and may slide him into the first unit.

Vucevic racked up two points (1-2 FG), four rebounds, two assists and one block across seven minutes during Sunday's 108-97 loss to Boston.

Vucevic made little offensive impact in his brief appearance, attempting just two shots while playing a limited role in Orlando's frontcourt. His lack of playing time is concerning for fantasy managers, particularly with multiple big men competing for minutes.

Bitadze totaled zero points (0-1 FG) and one rebound across five minutes during Sunday's 108-97 loss to Boston.

Bitadze was largely absent from Orlando's rotation, receiving just five minutes and attempting one shot. With his playing time severely restricted, the veteran center offers little fantasy utility outside of situations where injuries create additional opportunities.

Lopez racked up seven points (3-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt), two rebounds and two steals in 19 minutes during Sunday's 124-112 loss to Golden State.

Lopez failed to establish much offensive rhythm, connecting on just three of his eight attempts while contributing little on the glass. The veteran center did collect two steals, but his limited minutes and inconsistent production make him a difficult fantasy option in standard leagues.
