NBA Player News

Bibby was an assistant coach for Cheeks back in 2006, but has been with the Grizzlies since 2009 with Lionel Hollins. His son, Mike Bibby, has also been rumored to be interested in coaching and wants to play one more year in the NBA.

Watford played 10 minutes before his hamstring flared up, with the Nets ruling him out for the rest of the night early in the third quarter. He finishes with eight points and one 3-pointer, shooting 2-of-3 from the field and 3-of-3 from the foul line. Noah Clowney may pick up additional minutes if Watford misses time beyond Monday.

Miller injured his ankle early in the fourth quarter while attempting a layup as he stepped on the foot of 76ers forward Guerschon Yabusele. His absence means more playing time for Isaiah Wong and Tidjane Salaun, neither of whom should be streamed in this spot.

Initially questionable for Monday’s game, Braun has officially been ruled out. Julian Strawther has the most to gain regarding fantasy value, as he appears to be the player most likely to replace Braun in the starting lineup. He’s worth streaming in deep leagues.

No surprise here after Murray was listed as probable. He will play in his second straight game after missing two games because of his hamstring. Murray had 20 points against the Clippers on Friday.

Clarkson missed seven straight games with a foot injury, but played Friday and had 23 points against the Suns. He was originally questionable for Monday before being upgraded to probable. Clarkson has now been deemed good to go and should play without limitations against the Clippers.

The Kings will be without two rotation players for Monday’s game as Murray joins reserve Kevin Huerter on the sideline. Murray’s absence will be more impactful as it opens up a place in the starting lineup. Keon Ellis benefits the most from the absences, while Colby Jones may also pick up additional rotation minutes. Ellis is worth streaming in deep leagues.

Stewart injured his knee when he landed awkwardly after attempting to block a Terry Rozier shot with just over nine minutes remaining in the second quarter. While he could walk back to the locker room under his own power, Stewart did so with a noticeable limp. If Beef Stew misses time, starter Jalen Duren’s minutes should increase, while the recently re-signed Paul Reed could find himself in the rotation.

Initially questionable for Monday’s game, Porter has officially been ruled out. With Darius Garland and Ty Jerome available, Porter wouldn’t have many rotation minutes available if he could play.

Initially announced as a starter, Ivey was scratched minutes before tipoff on Monday. Malik Beasley replaced him in the starting lineup and will have added fantasy value if Ivey misses more time.

The Nets’ decision to trade Dennis Schroder to the Warriors on Sunday left a sizable void in the starting lineup. Simmons will fill it, starting as the Nets’ primary playmaker. His insertion into the starting lineup is the lone change made by Jordi Fernandez, and fantasy managers should also see more of Shake Milton off the bench.
