  • Wizards' Bilal Coulibaly: Iffy for Monday

    Coulibaly (heel) is questionable for Monday's game against the Lakers.

    A questionable tag for the second leg of this back-to-back set has been a common theme for Coulibaly this season. If he's held out for maintenance, the Wizards may lean more on Will Riley.

    Thunder's Jalen Williams: Sitting out Monday

    Williams (hamstring) is out for Monday's game versus Detroit.

    After playing 29 minutes during Sunday's victory over the Knicks, the star forward is sitting out the second end of this back-to-back set following a recent 16-game absence due to a right hamstring strain. Cason Wallace, Ajay Mitchell and Isaiah Joe are all candidates to take on amplified roles while Williams rests.

  • Thunder's Isaiah Hartenstein: Sitting out Monday

    Hartenstein has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Pistons due to right soleus injury management.

    Hartenstein has yet to play in both ends of a back-to-back set since initially suffering a right soleus strain in November, so his absence Monday isn't especially surprising after he logged 24 minutes in Sunday's 111-100 win over the Knicks. With Hartenstein and Jalen Williams (hamstring) sitting out, the Thunder are likely to lean more heavily on Chet Holmgren and Jaylin Williams in the frontcourt.

  • Pistons' Duncan Robinson: Out for Monday

    Robinson (hip) is out for Monday's game against the Thunder.

    No surprise here, as Robinson was previously listed as doubtful. Presumably, Robinson will likely be back for Tuesday's game against the Raptors.

  • Pistons' Tobias Harris: Downgraded to out

    Harris (hip) is out for Monday's game with the Thunder.

    Harris is joining most of Detroit's starting lineup in street clothes Monday, which is the first half of a back-to-back set. Javonte Green and Ronald Holland are both firmly on the streaming map in most fantasy leagues versus Oklahoma City.

  • Ausar Thompson SF | DET

    Pistons' Ausar Thompson: Will play Monday

    Thompson (ankle) is available for Monday's game against the Thunder.

    Thompson will shake off his questionable tag for the front end of this back-to-back set. With that in mind, he could be a candidate for a maintenance day Tuesday against the Raptors.

  • Timberwolves' Jaden McDaniels: Considered week-to-week

    McDaniels is week-to-week with left knee patella tendinopathy and a bone bruise, per Marc J. Spears of ESPN.com.

    Including Monday's game versus Dallas, McDaniels is likely to miss at least Minnesota's next four contests with this timeline for a return. His absence should allow Kyle Anderson to play a fairly significant role in the frontcourt for the time being, with Terrence Shannon and Bones Hyland also being candidates for an expanded role.

  • Jalen Duren C | DET

    Pistons' Jalen Duren: Ruled out Monday

    Duren (knee) is out for Monday's game against the Thunder.

    Duren was previously listed as doubtful for this contest, so it's not a surprise to see him sit out for the first leg of this back-to-back set. Paul Reed is likely to be a solid streaming option for this contest.

  • Amen Thompson SG | HOU

    Rockets' Amen Thompson: Stuffs stat sheet Sunday

    Thompson produced 14 points (5-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-6 FT), eight rebounds, five assists and three steals across 35 minutes during Sunday's 134-102 victory over the Pelicans.

    Thompson has failed to reach the 20-point mark in his last three games, but the third-year guard continues to leave a mark on both ends of the court even when he's not thriving as a scorer, so he remains a reliable fantasy option in most formats. Since the beginning of March, Thompson is averaging 20.0 points, 8.8 rebounds, 5.1 assists and 1.4 steals per game while shooting 58 percent from the floor and 43.8 percent from three-point range.

  • Kevin Durant PF | HOU

    Rockets' Kevin Durant: Struggles from deep in win

    Durant recorded 20 points (7-16 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 5-5 FT), four rebounds, six assists and one steal over 29 minutes during Sunday's 134-102 win over the Pelicans.

    Durant was coming off a 25-point, 10-assist performance in Friday's win over the Grizzlies, and while he couldn't repeat those numbers, the forward at least reached the 20-point mark for the sixth straight game. Over that stretch, Durant has averaged 27.8 points per game while shooting an impressive 53.3 percent from the floor.
