Brooks is the star of the Guangdong Southern Tigers, who are one win away from the CBA Finals. Once the Chinese season is over, he’ll be free to sign with the Suns. If no deal is reached, he’ll be a restricted free agent this offseason -- just like Wilson Chandler’s situation with the Nuggets.

Ducas is not in the rotation when healthy. His continued absence has no impact on fantasy basketball.

Vucevic is back after missing Friday’s win over the Hornets, and his return pushes Jalen Smith to the bench. The other change is Williams, who will start in his second game back from a foot injury that sidelined him for ten. He’ll fill the void left by Zach LaVine, who will not play due to lower back spasms.

Poeltl will start after coming off the bench in Thursday’s game against Miami when he was initially believed to be a late scratch. Bruno Fernando heads to the bench and is not worth rostering in fantasy leagues. Also of note is Barrett remaining in the role of primary playmaker while Mogbo makes another start for the injured Scottie Barnes.

Robbins, who is on a two-way contract, is not in the rotation when healthy. His status will not impact fantasy basketball.

The 76ers will be without Joel Embiid for at least one week after he suffered a sinus fracture during Friday’s loss to the Pacers. Drummond will replace him in the starting lineup, but that isn’t the only change that head coach Nick Nurse made. Martin will also start, replacing Guerschon Yabusele, as he should match up better with Charlotte’s Miles Bridges. Martin is worthy of streaming consideration in deep leagues due to the matchup.

Vucevic is back in the lineup after sitting out Friday’s win over Charlotte, the first game he has missed this season. Jalen Smith, who provided solid streaming value as the spot starter in Vooch’s absence, will return to the bench. He loses most of his fantasy value when utilized in a reserve role.

The Pistons will play Monday’s game without Tobias Harris, who has a sprained right thumb. Thompson moves into the starting lineup, and while he can provide solid defensive value, his offensive production has been inconsistent. Look for rookie Ron Holland II to play more minutes in a reserve role.

Mobley rolled his ankle a little over a week ago and missed Friday’s game against the Wizards. He should be back without limitations for Monday’s game against the Nets.

Antetokounmpo has consistently shown up as probable on pregame injury reports for this very injury, only to take on his usual workload. Fantasy managers should expect more of the same on Tuesday in Las Vegas. As for Middleton, his probable tag suggests he’ll also be cleared. Look for him to come off the bench as the Bucks manage his minutes.

Terry’s continued absence will not impact fantasy basketball, as he has taken on a limited role within the Bulls’ rotation when healthy. Julian Phillips and Matas Buzelis can play additional minutes, especially with Zach LaVine also ruled out.
