Davis was merely three assists shy of a triple-double. While he continues to deal with a foot issue, he’s only missed one game on the season. Davis was uncharacteristically passive in this one as he played 38 minutes and only took 10 shots, which was the fifth-most on the Lakers. It’s unclear if that has anything to do with his foot. The 31-year-old power forward is still having a great season as one of the best players in fantasy basketball.

Jenkins said that Jackson is closer to a return than Vince Williams Jr. (ankle), though Williams Jr. is also progressing well. He also said that both will likely get an opportunity with the Hustle before they make a return to the court for the Grizzlies. Reinforcements for the third-best team in the West are on the way.

Sanogo hasn’t appeared in a game in about a month and has yet to play 10 minutes in a game this season. His absence won’t impact fantasy basketball.

Eason hasn’t played in almost a month with a leg injury. The Rockets continue to list him on the injury report, which implies that he’s not far away from suiting up. Still, the 23-year-old small forward is out again Monday. Cam Whitmore will continue to have a bigger roll off the bench in Eason’s absence.

Previous reports indicated that Dosunmu was targeting a return to the lineup on Wednesday against Atlanta, but he is being listed as questionable for Tuesday’s game. Since it is a back-to-back, he will likely only suit up for one of these games, and it wouldn’t be surprising if it ends up being their game against the Hawks. Lonzo Ball and Talen Horton-Tucker would lose out on a few minutes if Dosunmu were to return for this game.

Monk has been playing incredibly well as part of the starting unit, and he hasn’t missed a game since November. However, if he were to be sidelined for this one, Keon Ellis would likely slide into the starting unit and be worth streaming.

White missed Sunday’s game against the Kings, which allowed Lonzo Ball to make his first start of the season. White’s return would likely push Ball back to the bench, though he played well enough as a starter to be worth streaming if White remains out.

Payton II will miss a 10th straight game on Monday, but the team reportedly seemed hopeful about his chances of playing against Minnesota on Wednesday. Buddy Hield and Moses Moody should continue to see a few extra minutes against Toronto.

Rollins may be back after missing their last game with an illness, but with Damian Lillard healthy, he won’t play enough to warrant consideration in any fantasy format.

Trent Jr. will have a chance to return after missing Sunday’s blowout loss to the Knicks. With Khris Middleton (ankles) already ruled out, Trent Jr. should take on extra minutes if he plays. If not, AJ Green should have a heavy workload.

Middleton will sit out the first leg of this back-to-back, which means he should be back when they take on the Magic on Wednesday. AJ Green and Gary Trent Jr. (hip) should take on extra minutes with Middleton out.
