Undrafted out of UNLV, Williams averaged 15.6 points per game with the Long Island Nets of the NBA G League. In order to free up a roster spot for him, the Hawks will waive former lottery pick Jarrett Culver.

Thompson tweaked his ankle during Sunday’s blowout victory, but he was able to return to finish the game and logged 25 minutes. He should occupy his typical spot in the starting unit despite injuring his left ankle for the third time this season just 24 hours before.

According to Nuggets coach Michael Malone, “We didn’t do a lot of live, competitive stuff, but Jamal was out there for the entirety of it. Hopefully that bodes well for tomorrow night.” Fantasy managers should consider him questionable for Tuesday’s tilt with Minnesota. If Murray is able to return, Russell Westbrook could shift back to the bench.

Both players sat out Sunday’s loss to Toronto, but both should rejoin the starting five for Tuesday’s tilt with the Knicks. Grimes has been the Sixers’ leading scorer since becoming a full-time starter, and Yabusele has been a formidable force in the paint.

Durant will miss at least three games as the Suns battle for a spot in the Play-In Tournament. With Durant sidelined, Royce O’Neale and Grayson Allen should pick up the slack in a committee approach.

Turner is a late addition to Monday’s injury report, and he’ll sit out his first game since March 17. Thomas Bryant should get the starting nod at center in Turner’s place, and Bryant is a worthwhile streamer.

Anthony has missed six straight games, and he’s in danger of missing a seventh. If he’s out, expect Cory Joseph to remain with the first unit and Anthony Black to pick up additional minutes off the bench.

Kris Dunn and Derrick Jones Jr. could see additional minutes if Bogdanovic is sidelined, but with Kawhi Leonard back, LA could tighten up its rotation against a formidable Magic team.

Miller will miss another contest, but his availability isn’t impactful in the world of fantasy hoops due to his lack of rotation minutes.

Spoelstra was also asked if Wiggins would be back by the end of the regular season and said, “I don’t have an update.” With Wiggins out indefinitely, Pelle Larsson and Haywood Highsmith should continue to see increased run.

Giddey will shake off his questionable tag and play through a sore right hip. Giddey will return to Paycom Center for the first time since he was traded for Alex Caruso last summer, so this could be an emotional matchup. Giddey has led the Bulls to the highest scoring average in the Association across the last five games.
