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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Smith closed with 20 points (7-15 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, three assists and two blocks over 33 minutes during Sunday's 134-102 win over the Pelicans.

Smith has reached the 20-point mark in back-to-back games for the first time since doing so Feb. 21 and Feb. 23. Even though he plays a secondary role on the Rockets' offensive scheme, Smith has posted solid numbers when given enough touches. This 20-point effort means he's scored in double digits in all but one of his last 12 games, a stretch in which he's averaging 17.2 points, 7.0 rebounds and 2.4 assists per contest.

Williamson produced 18 points (6-8 FG, 6-8 FT), four rebounds and three assists across 25 minutes during Sunday's 134-102 loss to the Rockets.

Williamson missed just two shots from the floor and two of his eight attempts from the free-throw line, but he didn't do much in other categories. The former Duke standout saw his streak of games with at least 20 points end at four contests, but he remains a reliable go-to option on offense for a Pelicans team that's no longer in the running for a playoff berth. Williamson is averaging 20.7 points, 5.4 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game in 14 games since the beginning of March.

Bey posted 18 points (7-13 FG, 4-6 3Pt), seven rebounds, one assist and one block across 31 minutes during Sunday's 134-102 loss to the Rockets.

Bey finished just three boards away from recording a double-double, and the five-year veteran continues to leave his mark offensively since he's regularly scoring more than 15 points. He's scored at least 17 points in eight games in a row, a stretch in which he's averaging 19.9 points per game while shooting 47.9 percent from the floor and an impressive, yet unsustainable, 52.9 percent from three-point range.
