Wade (ankle) is probable for Monday's game against the 76ers.

Wade returned from a three-game absence Sunday and logged 21 minutes with seven points and three rebounds. His ankle responded well, and the Cavaliers are anticipating that he will play the second leg of the back-to-back set.

Allen is out for Monday's game against the 76ers with right knee tendonitis.

Allen is missing a second consecutive contest, and it's unclear if the star big man has resumed practicing. Evan Mobley will likely start at center again, while Sam Merrill and Jaylon Tyson should both play an expanded role in Allen's absence, making both players worthy of streaming consideration in most fantasy leagues.

Edgecombe (back) is out for Monday's game against Cleveland.

Edgecombe was unable to shake a questionable tag and will be sidelined for a third straight game. The 76ers will be very shorthanded, so guys like Cameron Payne, Quentin Grimes and Jabari Walker could see expanded roles. Edgecombe's next chance to suit up will come during the second half of Philadelphia's back-to-back set against Memphis on Tuesday.

Nance registered six points (3-5 FG, 0-2 3Pt), three rebounds, two assists and two steals in 22 minutes during Sunday's 130-91 loss to the Magic.

Nance saw a few extra minutes Sunday with Giannis Antetokounmpo resting, in addition to the lopsided score. If the Bucks continue to slide out of the playoff hunt, Nance is someone who could step into a larger role for Milwaukee.

Trent accumulated nine points (4-12 FG, 1-9 3Pt) and three rebounds in 25 minutes during Sunday's 130-91 loss to Orlando.

Despite the absence of Giannis Antetokounmpo (rest), Trent wasn't able to take advantage of the extra touches. The veteran had played a combined 10 minutes in his previous three outings, so it's safe to say he didn't successfully make a case for more responsibility.

Portis logged 18 points (7-11 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 0-1 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal over 28 minutes during Sunday's 130-91 loss to Orlando.

With Giannis Antetokounmpo getting a maintenance day, Portis took on a larger role for the Bucks and was one of the few bright spots for the team in this blowout defeat. He's been solid lately with averages of 14.8 points, 4.1 rebounds, 1.1 assists and 2.8 three-pointers over his last eight outings.

Wagner recorded three points (0-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-4 FT) and nine rebounds over 18 minutes during Sunday's 130-91 win over the Bucks.

Wagner continues to play a minor role off the Orlando bench. Across 23 appearances, he's averaging 13.1 minutes per contest with 8.3 points, 3.4 rebounds and 0.9 assists on 45.3 percent shooting from the field.

Penda amassed eight points (2-5 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), seven rebounds, four assists and two steals in 24 minutes during Sunday's 130-91 win over the Bucks.

Penda made a tremendous impact off the bench and took advantage of some garbage time in this blowout win. Penda has been a fringe rotation player in recent weeks, so this looks like an outlier performance.

Saraf (back) is available to play Monday against Memphis.

Saraf will shake off a probable tag for this contest. Over his last five games, he's averaging 4.6 points and 2.4 rebounds in 14.6 minutes.

Howard contributed 14 points (5-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and two assists in 25 minutes during Sunday's 130-91 win over the Bucks.

Howard logged 25 minutes for the second time in a row, but he fared much better this time around. He's had a limited fantasy impact this season, averaging 12.0 minutes across 42 appearances.
