  • Recalled to NBA
    Atlanta recalled Lundy from the G League's College Park Skyhawks on Monday, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

    Advice: Lundy, a rookie second-round pick, has yet to make his NBA regular-season debut. The Hawks are still without Jalen Johnson (wrist) and De'Andre Hunter (quadriceps) may be sidelined, but Lundy likely won't see playing time versus Denver on Monday, barring a blowout.

  • Expected to play
    Paul (illness) is expected to play in Tuesday's game against the Suns, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Paul was able to go through a full practice Monday and looks on track to return to action Tuesday after missing Friday's 138-136 loss to Oklahoma City due to the illness. An official update on Paul's status for Tuesday should be available when the Warriors release their injury report later Monday. Rotowire.com Today, 12:51 pm
     
  • Chris Paul, Klay Thompson expected to play Tuesday
    Chris Paul (illness) and Klay Thompson (illness) are expected to be available for Tuesday’s game against the Suns.

    Advice: Paul and Thompson were able to practice on Monday, so the expectation is that they’ll be good to go Tuesday night. They’ll occupy their usual places in the rotation, with the latter starting and the former coming off the bench. Rotoworld Today, 12:47 pm
     
  • Daniel Gafford (hip) ruled out Monday vs. 76ers
    Daniel Gafford (right hip contusion) has been ruled out for Monday’s game against the 76ers.

    Advice: There’s never a good time for an injury, but to lose your starting center for the game in which Joel Embiid is on the opposing side is terrible. Mike Muscala could move into the starting lineup, but this isn’t a good spot for him streaming-wise. Danilo Gallinari has also played center this season, and there have been small lineups featuring Kyle Kuzma at the five. While Kuzma is already rostered in most leagues, Gallinari doesn’t offer much streaming upside. Rotoworld Today, 12:42 pm
     
  • Back at practice
    Thompson (illness) practiced Monday, Ron Kroichick of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    Advice: Thompson didn't practice Sunday, but his return to the court Monday is an encouraging sign for his availability for Tuesday's game in Phoenix. The veteran wing looks as though he'll approach Tuesday's game without an injury designation once the Warriors' injury report is released later Monday. Rotowire.com Today, 12:35 pm
     
  • Ruled out for Monday
    Gafford (hip) won't play in Monday's game versus the 76ers.

    Advice: Washington's starting center will miss his first game since Nov. 1 due to a bruised right hip, but he'll be day-to-day going forward, with his next chance to play coming Wednesday versus the Pelicans. The Wizards are thin in terms of frontcourt depth, so Gafford's absence Monday may open up more minutes at center for Danilo Gallinari and Mike Muscala. Rotowire.com Today, 12:34 pm
     
  • Klay Thompson (illness) returned to practice Mon.
    Klay Thompson (illness) was back at practice on Monday after missing Sunday’s session.

    Advice: Thompson being able to return to practice is a good sign regarding his availability for Tuesday’s game against the Suns. If he is unavailable, Chris Paul or Moses Moody will most likely fill the void. Paul should already be rostered in standard leagues, while Moody is worth holding in deeper formats.

  • Grayson Allen, Nassir Little out Tuesday vs. GSW
    Grayson Allen (groin strain) and Nassir Little (concussion protocol/orbital bone fracture) have been ruled out for Tuesday’s game against the Warriors.

    Advice: Neither Allen nor Little practiced on Sunday, and they weren’t active on Monday, either. Of the two, Allen’s absence is more impactful, as he’s been in the starting lineup for most of the season. With Bradley Beal (back) set to return, Allen would likely see his role reduced if healthy. As for Little, he’s been part of a logjam among reserve wings, and his absence will not impact fantasy basketball. Rotoworld Today, 11:40 am
     
  • Kevin Durant (ankle) questionable Tuesday vs. GSW
    Kevin Durant (left ankle sprain) is questionable for Tuesday’s game against the Warriors.

    Advice: Durant is questionable for Tuesday’s game after sitting out Friday’s loss to the Kings. With Bradley Beal (back) cleared to play, the Suns could have their “big three” on the court for the first time this season. Should Durant not be cleared, Keita Bates-Diop would likely get another start, but he has not done enough to merit being streamed in fantasy leagues. Rotoworld Today, 11:36 am
