No surprise here, as Waiters hasn’t been a reliable part of L.A.'s rotation in the postseason -- all of his minutes have come in garbage time. Because he was previously a member of the Heat, he’s likely going to receive a championship ring regardless of what happens in the Finals.

Collins is set to miss his eighth straight game and 13th of the last 14 Jazz games. Drew Eubanks started for Collins in the Jazz’ last game Friday against the Pelicans and had 17 points and seven rebounds in 25 minutes of action.

Jackson is healthy enough to make his season debut on Monday afternoon potentially. Given the amount of time missed and Memphis’ depth, the second-year forward is unlikely to get the minutes needed to impact fantasy basketball. That said, Jackson is worth watching.

Markkanen is set to miss his fourth straight game with a back injury. Rookie Cody Williams will continue to start in the absence of the 27-year-old power forward with Brice Sensabaugh seeing an increased role off the bench.

DiVincenzo is set to miss his third straight game with a toe injury. Mike Conley should continue to start with the 27-year-old shooting guard out and is usable in fantasy lineups.

Edey took a Julian Champagnie elbow to the face during Friday’s win over the Spurs and did not return to the game. He isn’t on the injury report for Monday, which likely rules out a fracture since many players must miss a game or two to get fitted for a face mask. Edey will remain in the starting lineup, likely matching up with Rudy Gobert.

Gobert rolled his ankle against the Cavaliers Saturday, though the 32-year-old center was able to finish the game. While Gobert is listed as questionable Monday against the Grizzlies, he hasn’t missed many games this season.

After appearing to suffer a serious ankle injury during a January 14 loss to the Nuggets, Lively may only miss two games. He’s questionable for Monday’s game, and his return would give Dallas a welcome boost in the frontcourt. Daniel Gafford has been the starting center, with Maxi Kleber providing additional depth off the bench.

Injured during Friday’s game against Oklahoma City, Powell will not be available for Monday’s game. His absence does not impact fantasy basketball, especially if Dereck Lively II (questionable) can return from his sprained ankle.

Morant is questionable for Monday after missing Friday’s game against the Spurs with a foot injury. If he were to miss another game, Scotty Pippen Jr. would fill in and be on the streaming radar for fantasy managers.
