Reese will start Sunday's game against the Trail Blazers.

Reese was held out of Friday's game against the Warriors because Alex Sarr (toe) was available. With Sarr out Sunday, Reese will return to action in the starting lineup. Reese has scored in double figures in each of his last three starts and posted double-doubles in two of those games.

Vukcevic is in the starting lineup for Sunday's matchup with the Trail Blazers.

Vukcevic was not in the rotation for Friday's loss to the Warriors, but he'll replace Will Riley in the first unit for Sunday's contest. As a starter this season, Vukcevic owns averages of 11.6 points, 4.4 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.4 triples per game on 48/33/82 shooting splits.

Williams won't start in Sunday's game against the Kings, according to Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com.

Williams started in each of the Nets' last five contests, most recently amassing 16 points, two rebounds, two assists and three steals in Friday's 116-99 loss to the Lakers. However, the 24-year-old will head back to the bench Sunday, with Terance Mann returning to the starting lineup.

Barrett (shoulder) is available for Sunday's game against the Magic.

Barrett suffered a minor shoulder injury during Friday's game against the Pelicans, which previously placed his availability for Sunday in doubt. In the end, Barrett will be able to play through the injury. Over his last five games, he is averaging 17.6 points, 4.4 rebounds and 3.8 assists in 29.0 minutes per contest.

Duren (knee) is doubtful to play Monday in Oklahoma City.

Duren is scheduled for a rest day on the first leg of a back-to-back set, and managers can expect to get official confirmation on his status closer to tipoff. With both Duren and Isaiah Stewart (calf) unavailable for Monday's game, Paul Reed should see heavy minutes in a starting role.

Mann will start Sunday's game against the Kings, Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports.

The 29-year-old came off the bench in Friday's loss to the Lakers but will get the starting nod over Ziaire Williams on Sunday. As a starter this season (49 games), Mann has averaged 7.5 points, 3.4 rebounds and 3.4 assists in 25.9 minutes per contest.

Porter (groin) is probable for Monday's game against the Jazz.

Porter has missed the last seven games due to a groin injury, but he will likely return to action Monday. In his last three appearances, he averaged just 1.7 points, 2.3 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 11.3 minutes per contest, so he doesn't figure to have much fantasy relevance in most formats.

Williams (back) is available for Sunday's game against the Wizards.

Williams will shed his questionable tag due to lower-back soreness and suit up for a third consecutive contest. The backup big man has averaged 6.0 points, 7.6 rebounds and 1.0 blocks in 16.2 minutes per game over his last five appearances.

Strus (foot) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Jazz.

Strus will miss the front end of this back-to-back set due to left foot injury management, and his next opportunity to suit up will come Tuesday against the Lakers. With Jaylon Tyson (toe) and Dean Wade (ankle) also sidelined, Keon Ellis, Sam Merrill and Nae'Qwan Tomlin are all likely to see increased playing time.

Allen has been ruled out for Monday's game in Utah due to right knee injury management.

Allen will get hit with a maintenance day on the first leg of a back-to-back set, but he should be back for Tuesday's game in Los Angeles. Nae'Qwan Tomlin could see an uptick in minutes Monday with Allen unavailable.
