McDaniels continues to shine in Julius Randle’s absence, recording his second double-double in as many nights. Since Randle strained his groin on January 30, McDaniels has provided third-round value in eight- and nine-cat formats. Shooting 48.4 percent from the field and 90.2 percent from the foul line, he has averaged 18.6 points, 8.4 rebounds, 2.9 assists, 1.3 steals, 1.0 blocks and 1.3 three-pointers per game. Randle could return at some point this week, but McDaniels should be rostered in more than 60 percent of Yahoo! leagues until that time comes.

As expected, Davis will be good to go on Monday. Head coach Jason Kidd said that AD will be restricted to 25-28 minutes despite playing 29 minutes in each of the Mavs’ last two games. However, that is more than enough time for Davis to feast on the Nets.

Gafford will make his return and suit up for the first time since before the All-Star break. Dallas has a 1.5 game lead over the Suns for the final play-in spot, and the reinforcements down low will help them keep their position. Gafford is expected to play 15-20 minutes in this game.

Bryant will enter the starting unit in place of Myles Turner, who is sidelined with an illness. Bryant has been solid as a starter this season, averaging 13.5 points, 8.2 rebounds and 2.5 assists across six starts.

Brown and Kornet are both out after being listed as questionable. With Al Horford and Payton Pritchard available Monday against the Grizzlies, those two are likely to see additional minutes.

With both Collin Sexton (pelvis) and Cody Williams (illness) sidelined against Charlotte, Sensabaugh and Juzang will fill out the open spots in the starting lineup. Both players scored in double figures in Utah’s last game and should take on extra minutes as starters. Martin will also replace Oscar Tshiebwe in the starting unit.

Beal has missed the last seven games with a hamstring injury and has a legitimate chance to miss Tuesday’s matchup with the Bucks given his questionable listing. Collin Gillespie could continue to take his spot in the starting lineup while Ryan Dunn has offered for fantasy value in Beal’s absence.

Both Curry and Green will be back in the starting lineup after missing Sunday’s game against New Orleans. DaQuan Jeffries will be pushed back to playing a reserve role, while Josh Okogie, who started in place of Green on Sunday, is out with a hamstring injury.

Ball will miss yet another game with a wrist injury that’s kept him out since February 28. Kevin Huerter figures to continue to have a bigger role with the 27-year-old point guard sidelined.

Bogdanovic is available after being listed as questionable with a knee injury. The 32-year-old shooting guard could squeeze Kris Dunn and Derrick Jones Jr. for minutes in the rotation with Kawhi Leonard also back in the lineup.
