Tuesday’s game will be Monk’s third straight missed due to illness. Keon Ellis will remain in the starting lineup, and he is worth streaming when allowed to take on those responsibilities. Devin Carter (illness), who has been cleared to play, may pick up a few more minutes off the bench.

Wallace has been sidelined for over a week now with this shoulder injury. However, with Trae Young still healthy, Wallace likely wouldn’t have seen the floor even if he was healthy.

Nothing new here as Young has been on the injury report with an Achilles issue for most of the season. The 26-year-old point guard is likely to suit up given his probable listing so fantasy managers shouldn’t have anything to worry about.

Grant is expected to miss an 11th-straight game with this knee issue, and he only played two games in the month of March. That is two fewer games than he played last March, and he will likely match his April games played total from last season of zero. Shaedon Sharpe’s spot in the starting lineup is likely secure for the rest of the season.

Henderson will remain sidelined for a second-straight game while in the league’s concussion protocol. Dalano Banton should continue to fill out the backup point guard minutes, but with Anfernee Simons questionable again, he could move into the starting lineup. That is the only scenario where Banton would be worth streaming. He was held scoreless in 19 minutes off the bench on Sunday with Henderson out.

Simons is still dealing with a right forearm contusion, though he hasn’t missed any games yet. With Scoot Henderson still in concussion protocol, Dalano Banton could be in for a significant role if Simons is ruled out.

After taking a hard fall on Sunday, Kuminga was initially ruled out with an ankle injury. The Warriors are now calling it a pelvic contusion. There is a chance that he returns to the lineup to take on Memphis with a chance to move into fifth place in the West on the line. If not, Buddy Hield and Gui Santos will take on extra minutes.

Murray, who went through a full practice Monday, is dealing with right hamstring tightness while Gordon has an illness and continues to manage a right calf injury. Murray’s return would likely shift Russell Westbrook back to the bench unless Gordon is out.

New York will once again be down their top three point guard options, with Jalen Brunson (ankle) still sidelined. Wright has started the last two games for the Knicks, averaging 9.5 points, 3.5 rebounds, three assists, 1.5 steals, one block and 1.5 triples while playing 32.5 minutes per game. Rookie Tyler Kolek has filled out the backup minutes, and while he is more than capable of dishing out plenty of assists in limited action, he hasn’t seen the bump in minutes necessary to provide standard league value.

Jokic is still dealing with a left ankle impingement while Braun is listed on the injury report with a left foot sprain. Nevertheless, the pair of Nuggets starters are likely to play against the Timberwolves given their probable listings.

Adams logged 12 minutes on Sunday and will be available to play in both legs of a back-to-back since early February. However, with Alperen Sengun healthy, Adams likely won’t see enough minutes to provide standard league value. Still, it’s a good step in his progression, since he has been dealing with ankle injuries all season.
