Collins (hip) won't play Monday against the Nuggets.

No surprise here, as Collins was previously listed as doubtful. He'll miss his fourth straight contest, with his next chance to play coming Jan. 1 against the Knicks.

Missi (back) is available for Monday's game against the Clippers.

Missi was originally listed as questionable on the injury report with a mid-back contusion, but he'll give it a go Monday. The rookie center is averaging a double-double in December with 11.2 points, 10.1 rebounds and 1.3 blocks.

Huff produced 17 points (7-11 FG, 3-6 3Pt), one rebound and two assists across 17 minutes during Sunday's 130-106 loss to Oklahoma City.

With Zach Edey (concussion), Santi Aldama (ankle) and Brandon Clarke (knee) all sidelined, Huff stepped up for the shorthanded Grizzlies in his largest workload since Dec. 8. Huff has made the most of his limited minutes all season and will be on the streaming radar unless the Grizzlies get some reinforcements back for Tuesday's game against the Suns.

Sarr (illness) is questionable for Monday's game against the Knicks.

Sarr was a late addition to the injury report, which is rarely a good thing in fantasy basketball. The Wizards are unlikely to push Sarr at less than 100 percent given how their season is going, but they could wait and see how he looks in warmups before a decision is made. If Sarr is unable to go, Jonas Valanciunas would likely step into a larger role.

Sharpe contributed eight points (4-9 FG, 0-2 3Pt), six rebounds, one assist, two blocks and one steal in 16 minutes during Sunday's 102-101 loss to the Magic.

Sharpe made the most of his limited minutes, though it will be tough for him to provide consistent fantasy value while Nic Claxton is upright. Sharpe is averaging 15.1 minutes across 10 appearances, limiting his appeal to deeper formats.

Collins tallied zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and one turnover while committing three fouls across seven minutes in Sunday's 112-110 loss to the Timberwolves.

Collins saw his first action since Dec. 8, after he had missed the Spurs' subsequent two contests with a bilateral lower-back contusion before being cleared to return but subsequently getting held out of the rotation in five straight contests. The Spurs made room for Collins on Sunday by deploying a three-man rotation at center, with he and Charles Bassey (five minutes) stepping in when Victor Wembanyama (36 minutes) was off the court. Collins could eventually wrest the top backup job back from Bassey, but neither will hold much fantasy appeal so long as Wembanyama is available to handle his usual allotment of minutes.

Gobert registered 17 points (6-12 FG, 5-6 FT), 15 rebounds, two assists and two blocks over 31 minutes during Sunday's 112-110 victory over San Antonio.

Gobert had the tough assignment of dealing with Victor Wembanyama, but the former had a solid showing on both ends of the court and posted an impressive double-double. This was Gobert's sixth double-double across 12 games in December. He's averaging 10.8 points, 9.9 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.2 blocks per game in the current month.

Carlson (concussion) recorded zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt), one rebound and one turnover while playing the final four minutes of Sunday's 130-106 win over the Grizzlies.

Carlson hadn't played for the Thunder or the G League's Oklahoma City Blue since Dec. 10 after entering the concussion protocol, but he received the green light to suit up Sunday after having missed the NBA club's last three contests. His appearance was contained to the waning minutes of a blowout, and the rookie will likely continue to see most of his playing time with the Thunder in such scenarios throughout the season.

Wembanyama accumulated 34 points (13-30 FG, 4-12 3Pt, 4-5 FT), eight rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal in 37 minutes during Sunday's 112-110 loss to the Timberwolves.

Wembanyama bounced back from the 19-point effort he delivered in the Dec. 27 win over the Nets and once again reached the 30-point mark. The towering Frenchman has been on a tear in recent weeks and has scored at least 30 points in four of his last six appearances, a span in which he's averaging 32.2 points, 9.2 rebounds, 3.7 assists and an impressive 5.7 blocks per contest.

Sacramento recalled Robinson from the G League's Stockton Kings on Sunday.

Robinson hasn't played much at the NBA level this season, appearing in just eight games for Sacramento while averaging 6.3 minutes per contest. He's unlikely to be part of the rotation in Monday's game against the Mavericks.
