Kleber is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Pelicans with back soreness, per Jovan Buha of The Athletic.

Kleber was a late addition to the Lakers' injury report Tuesday. The veteran center's role has been inconsistent of late, but Jaxson Hayes would at least be solidified as the backup center behind the struggling Deandre Ayton if Kleber is ultimately downgraded to out.

Gill (illness) will not play Tuesday against the Magic.

Gill will be sidelined for a second straight contest Tuesday. The Wizards are going to be very thin up front, so the team could rely more on Julian Reese and Will Riley.

Mykhailiuk posted 15 points (5-10 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, two assists and one steal in 26 minutes during Monday's 128-125 loss to the Nuggets.

Mykhailiuk continues to play a part-time role for the Jazz -- he's appeared in just four of their last seven outings despite not being listed on the injury report. As a result, he'll remain difficult to rely on as a streaming option in fantasy leagues. Mykhailiuk has averaged 11.5 points, 2.3 assists, 1.5 rebounds and 3.0 three-pointers in 17.3 minutes per tilt in his last four games, shooting 54.5 percent from deep.

George provided 36 points (14-22 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 4-5 FT), two rebounds, two assists and four steals in 30 minutes during Monday's 128-125 loss to the Nuggets.

George enjoyed his 12th game of the year with at least 30 points Monday. The star guard's workload increased in his second contest back from an ankle sprain, which is an encouraging sign. Over his last 10 appearances, George has averaged 24.7 points, 4.6 assists, 2.5 rebounds and 1.6 steals in 31.4 minutes per game.

Turner ended with five points (1-6 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, three assists and one block in 19 minutes during Monday's 108-81 loss to the Celtics.

Turner had one of his worst games of the season and has now posted back-to-back duds. Overall, Turner has struggled, shooting 44.2 percent from the field with averages of 12.5 points, 5.6 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.6 blocks in 27.9 minutes per contest.

Williams contributed three points (1-1 FG, 1-2 FT), one rebound, one assist and one steal over 11 minutes during Monday's 128-125 loss to the Nuggets.

Despite starting, Williams ended up playing the fewest minutes of any active player for the Jazz on Monday. The second-year forward remains difficult to trust from a fantasy perspective, averaging 4.8 points, 2.8 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 23.1 minutes per tilt across his last six games.

Porter closed Monday's 108-81 loss to the Celtics with eight points (3-6 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, two assists and three steals across 31 minutes.

Porter, who has been carrying the Bucks in recent weeks, took a backseat Monday with Giannis Antetokounmpo back in the mix. Porter has previously been able to coexist next to Antetokounmpo just fine, so fantasy managers will not want to overreact to this outlier.

Niederhauser finished with 11 points (3-6 FG, 5-6 FT), nine rebounds, four blocks and two steals across 21 minutes during Monday's 114-101 victory over the Warriors.

The rookie first-rounder matched a season high in swats Monday. With Ivica Zubac (ankle) out of the picture, Niederhauser is starting to push for a larger role behind Brook Lopez at center. Niederhauser has averaged 8.8 points, 6.8 rebounds and 2.3 blocks in 20.7 minutes per game over his last four contests.

Hauser ended Monday's 108-81 victory over Milwaukee with 14 points (5-9 FG, 4-8 3Pt), four rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 29 minutes.

Hauser continues to be a steady source of three-pointers in fantasy formats, but his upside is limited elsewhere. Over his last seven games, he's averaging 11.3 points, 3.9 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 2.7 three-pointers in 27.8 minutes per contest.

Melton racked up seven points (3-14 FG, 1-7 3Pt), four rebounds, two assists and one steal in 27 minutes during Monday's 114-101 loss to the Clippers.

Melton continues to work his way back from last year's ACL surgery, and he remains a strong source of triples and swipes despite Monday's dud. The veteran guard has averaged 16.7 points, 3.2 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 1.2 steals and 2.5 three-pointers in 25.7 minutes per game over his last six contests.
