Kyle Kuzma

WAS Power Forward #33

Kyle Kuzma posted a full line on Monday with 21 points (7-of-21 FGs), eight rebounds, four assists, three steals, two blocks and three 3-pointers in a 129-117 loss to the Pistons.

Kuzma struggled with his shot in this game, but he was able to provide excellent value defensively despite not contributing statistically on that end often. His night was cut short due to an ejection in the final few minutes, which came after two consecutive technical fouls. Kuzma only had six techs in his career entering this game, so it was surprising to see him pick up two consecutively. The defensive production isn’t something that he will replicate often, but he will look to shoot more efficiently on Thursday in New York after two days of rest.
Bruce Brown

IND Small Forward #11

Bruce Brown (right knee bone bruise) and Aaron Nesmith (bilateral shin soreness) have been ruled out for Monday’s game against the Jazz.

This is the second game of a back-to-back for the Pacers, so Brown will not play after starting Sunday’s loss to the Nuggets. As for Nesmith, he will miss a second straight game due to his injury. Buddy Hield will remain in the starting lineup, with Bennedict Mathurin and Jordan Nwora being the candidates to fill the void left by Brown.
Tyus Jones

WAS Point Guard #5

Tyus Jones led Washington with 22 points (9-of-19 FGs), six rebounds, seven assists, one steal and four 3-pointers against Detroit on Monday.

Despite playing on a bad team, Jones has continued to provide elite fantasy value every night. He has produced top-40 value over the past two months, which largely comes from his elite assist to turnover ratio. However, he has also produced career-highs in points, rebounds, assists, 3-pointers and field goal percentage this season, which has led to his breakout fantasy season. The stars have aligned for him in Washington, and unless they draft a rookie point guard this summer, Jones should be an excellent fantasy option for multiple seasons.
Keegan Murray

SAC Small Forward #13

Keegan Murray (right hip irritation) is questionable to play against the Suns on Tuesday.

Keegan exited early from their last game on Sunday, which allowed Trey Lyles to start the second half in his place. If he has to miss Tuesday’s game, Lyles would likely get the starting nod, with Sasha Vezenkov seeing the backup power forward minutes.
Bol Bol

PHX Power Forward #11

Bol Bol (sore right foot) will not be available for Tuesday’s game against the Kings.

Bol will miss a second consecutive game, but his absence will not significantly impact fantasy basketball. Chimezie Metu has emerged in recent games, so Bol would have been behind him if healthy enough to play. And Metu hasn’t done enough to merit being rostered in most leagues.
Jaden Ivey

DET Shooting Guard #23

Jaden Ivey provided solid value on Monday with 24 points (9-of-18 FGs), seven rebounds, six assists, three blocks, two triples and five turnovers against Washington.

Once again, Ivey was able to provide excellent value with Cade Cunningham sidelined. He is ranked outside the top-200 over the course of the season, but he is inside the top-150 during this four-game stretch without Cade. That could be even higher, but he has really struggled from the free throw line. He shot 4-of-7 in this game and has shot 14-of-24 over the last four games. He has been excellent in other categories, but the poor shooting from the line has limited his overall value in 9-cat leagues.
Shaedon Sharpe

POR Shooting Guard #17

Shaedon Sharpe (lower abdominal strain) will be re-evaluated in two weeks.

Sharpe will be re-evaluated at the end of the month, but there is a chance that he remains sidelined after that. However, Kris Murray and Rayan Rupert have been able to take on a larger role, with Murray posting a 13/1/3/3 line with three 3-pointers in 37 minutes in their last game.
Al Horford

BOS Center #42

The Celtics will start Jrue Holiday, Derrick White, Jayson Tatum, Kristaps Porzingis and Al Horford against the Raptors on Monday.

With Jaylen Brown (knee) sidelined, Horford gets the nod as the fifth starter. Payton Pritchard and Sam Hauser should also see a few extra minutes off the bench in this game, but it is unlikely that it’s enough of a boost for either to be worth streaming.
Jontay Porter

TOR Power Forward #11

The Raptors will start Immanuel Quickley, RJ Barrett, Scottie Barnes, Pascal Siakam and Jontay Porter against the Celtics on Monday.

Porter will get his first career start as he takes over for Thaddeus Young in the starting unit. He played 31 minutes off the bench on Friday and posted a 9/6/6/2/2 line with a triple. He will be worth streaming until Jakob Poeltl returns if he remains in the starting unit.
Jalen Duren

DET Center #0

Jalen Duren recorded a double-double on Monday with 20 points (8-of-8 FGs), 19 rebounds, four assists and one block in a 129-117 win over the Wizards.

Despite playing just 26 minutes in this game, Duren was able to tie his career-high for rebounds. He would’ve had a bigger night, but Washington’s only center option was Daniel Gafford after they traded away Mike Muscala, so Washington used a smaller lineup. Duren dominated the paint when he was on the floor, which helped Detroit get their fourth win of the season. They have a much different matchup for their next game as they host Rudy Gobert, Karl-Anthony Towns and the Timberwolves on Wednesday, but Duren should still be able to provide excellent value.
