Brown has scored 24 points or more in four of the five games he’s played in November, with his first game back from injury (November 10 vs. Milwaukee) being the exception. For the season, he’s providing top 75 per-game value in 8- and 9-cat formats, ranking slightly higher in the latter.

Mann continues to deal with a back issue that has his availability up in the air on a game-to-game basis. Vasilije Micic will continue to play about 15 minutes as the backup point guard with Mann out, but isn’t on the fantasy radar.

Gafford is good to go and should take on a workload similar to his 27 minutes on the court in Friday’s win over the Nuggets. He and Dereck Lively II provide reliable late-round fantasy value but limit each other’s fantasy ceilings in Dallas.

The Wizards are without Jordan Poole for Sunday’s game, as he’s been ruled out with left hip flexor soreness. George will fill the starting lineup void, boosting his streaming value in deep leagues. Fellow rookie Bub Carrington also becomes more important to Washington’s rotation.

Missi did not play in Friday’s loss to the Warriors, resulting in Daniel Theis re-entering the starting lineup. Theis only played 18 minutes and did not provide enough value to merit being streamed if Missi cannot play on Monday.

Keon Ellis will continue to see more minutes if Monk is unable to suit up again. Monk has been out since he injured his ankle against the Spurs on November 10th. Ellis is on the streaming radar in deeper formats.

Murray has been able to get in some on-court work recently, but it appears likely that he’ll remain sidelined on Monday. Brandon Boston Jr. should continue to be streamed until the Pelicans welcome back some of their injured guards, including Murray and CJ McCollum.

A late addition to the injury report, Sarr is officially available for Sunday’s game. Jonas Valanciunas will remain in a reserve role, where he can still provide solid fantasy value.

Durant and Beal are closing in on a return to the Suns’ lineup, with Tuesday’s game against the Lakers being a realistic possibility. Sunday’s practice included some 5-on-5 scrimmaging. Durant and Beal’s availability impacts the entire rotation, notably Ryan Dunn and Royce O’Neale. While the latter may still have some value in deep leagues, neither will be a must-hold once Durant and Beal return.

WCJ has missed their last 11 games, but there is a chance that he is back in the mix on Monday. If that happens, Goga Bitadze will be pushed to the bench and lose most of his streaming value, while Moritz Wagner will lose out on some minutes as well.

Suggs exited early from their last game, but the injury won’t keep him out of the lineup on Monday. He’ll likely see his normal workload as a starter, which means no added boost for Anthony Black.
