Brooklyn Nets forward LeBron James (ankle) won't play on Monday in Brooklyn. The veteran is out again because of nagging left ankle soreness, an injury he's dealt with all year. With Anthony Davis (foot) also getting the night off, Russell Westbrook, Dennis Schroder, and Thomas Bryant should see a surge in interest from fantasy managers.

New Orleans Pelicans guard CJ McCollum (thumb) won't play on Sunday versus the Milwaukee Bucks. The veteran has a sprained thumb. However, considering he scored 24 points in 36 minutes in Saturday's win over the Washington Wizards, it's unknown how severe the injury is. With Zion Williamson (hamstring) and Brandon Ingram (toe) also out, Jonas Valanciunas, Trey Murphy III, and Herbert Jones should lead the way offensively. At the same time, guys like Jose Alvarado and Devonte' Graham could be more involved than usual.

Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (knee) won't play on Sunday against Cleveland. The veteran is getting the day off after scoring a game-high 32 points in Saturday's meeting with the Atlanta Hawks. Paul George (knee) and John Wall (abdomen) are also out, so the Clippers will look for others to step up. As a result, Terance Mann, Ivica Zubac, and Norman Powell are the favorites to lead the way offensively. At the same time, Marcus Morris Sr. (ribs) and Luke Kennard (calf), who are questionable, could see an uptick in production if available.

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Kevin Love (back) is questionable ahead of Sunday's meeting with the Los Angeles Clippers. The 34-year-old missed the last two games because of back spasms, allowing Dean Wade to log 26 minutes in the Cavs' recent game against OKC. With that said, with Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen healthy, Love and Wade's fantasy upside is limited, although the former's is certainly much higher.

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James had another huge game on Saturday night in a matchup against Boston, finishing an overtime loss with a game-high 41 points, nine rebounds and eight assists. He made exactly half of his 30 attempts from the field and also shot 50 percent from deep with 12 attempts. LeBron has been a one-man wrecking crew during Anthony Davis' absence and hasn't slowed down after his return either. He's desperate to make it back into the playoffs and you can see it from his play. The King is averaging 34.3 points, 9.3 rebounds and 8.0 assists for the month.

Phoenix Suns point guard Chris Paul ran the show against San Antonio on Saturday, totaling 31 points and 11 assists in a 128-118 overtime victory. He wasn't far away from a triple-double either, adding seven rebounds with one steal and two blocks in 39 minutes. The veteran was only 1-for-4 with the three-ball but shot a very good 12-for-20 overall with a perfect 6-for-6 record at the charity stripe. Following a long injury layoff, Paul hasn't needed anytime at all to regain his rhythm, going for four straight double-doubles and averaging 22.3 points and 10.8 assists since his return. With Devin Booker (groin) still not near a return, Paul is set to lead the Suns backcourt all on his own for the foreseeable future.

Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard did very little wrong against Atlanta on Saturday and led the team to a 120-113 victory with a game-high 32 points. He missed only eight of his 20 attempts from the field and shot 5-for-10 from outside while filling the stat sheet with eight rebounds, four assists, one steal and one block. Fantasy managers will also be very pleased to know that Kawhi logged a season-high 38:43 of action. He has been back to his best this month, averaging 27.2 points, 6.4 rebounds and 3.9 assists with 1.6 steals. However, managers have to deal with Leonard sitting out games in back-to-back situations, and he will likely be in street clothes Sunday versus Cleveland.

Chicago Bulls center Nikola Vucevic felt very comfortable in his old arena in Orlando Saturday, notching 26 points, 13 rebounds and six assists in a 128-109 victory over the Magic. He added two blocks as well to his line while shooting 11-for-18 from the field and 2-for-5 from downtown. Chicago's three-headed monster of Vucevic, DeMar DeRozan and Zach LaVine ended up combining for 90 of the team's points. Vucevic has often been the third wheel of the star trio, but he has figured things out this month, upping his points production to 20.1 and recording 13.0 rebounds with 4.5 assists. He now faces a very good run of games against four teams that have struggled to keep centers quiet all year.

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) is expected to suit up for Sunday's outing versus the New Orleans Pelicans. The multi-time MVP has dealt with sore knees all season, recently causing him to miss five consecutive games. Yet, he's appeared in the last three contests, averaging 34 points during that span. As always, fantasy managers should check Antetokounmpo's official designation before putting him into the starting lineup. However, unless things take a dramatic turn in the wrong direction, he should be good to go.

Los Angeles Clippers forward Marcus Morris Sr. (rib) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. He is set to miss his second game in a row due to a rib contusion. Luke Kennard returned from a lengthy absence and started during Thursday's game. He could get another start, but Nicolas Batum is also a candidate to move into the starting five. Although, neither player is going to be a great streaming option while Kawhi Leonard and Paul George are healthy. Between the two, Kennard is the better streaming option because of his ability to shoot from beyond the arc.

Denver Nuggets guard/forward Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (wrist) and guard/forward Bruce Brown (knee) will be in the lineup Saturday against the 76ers. The latter has shaken off a questionable tag, while Caldwell-Pope returns to action from a one-game absence. The former Laker has quietly had a very solid season in the Nuggets starting unit, averaging 11.4 points, 2.9 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1.3 steals. Brown has also started the last three games and will head back to the bench on Saturday, but he's been very productive as a reserve as well and remains a vital piece for the team.

Utah Jazz forward/center Kelly Olynyk (ankle) will return to the lineup Saturday against Dallas. He has finally recovered from a left ankle sprain and is good to go after missing eight games. Olynyk has been very effective in 39 games this season, averaging 12.2 points, 5.0 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.1 steals per game with 50-percent shooting. Walker Kessler has started in Olynyk's place during his absence and Jazz head coach Will Hardy has hinted that the two will begin to start together, which is great news for fantasy managers. Saturday's game is a great matchup for both players, with the Mavericks lacking size.

Chicago Bulls guard Goran Dragic (conditioning) is set to return from a three-game absence Saturday against Orlando, with the team listing him as probable for the contest. He's working his way back from an illness and has been out lately for conditioning purposes. The veteran isn't a very impactful player anymore, but he will provide some backcourt depth for Chicago. Dragic is averaging 7.2 points and 2.8 assists for the season.

Los Angeles Lakers center Anthony Davis (foot) is expected to play on Saturday against Boston. The 29-year-old returned for Wednesday's meeting with San Antonio after missing over a month with a right foot injury. He played 26 minutes in that one, finishing with 21 points, 12 rebounds, and four blocks. Davis will likely see a similar workload but should still be starting in all fantasy formats.

Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry had his ninth double-double of the season in Friday's win over Toronto, leading all scorers with 35 points and delivering 11 assists. He picked up seven rebounds and two steals as well, shooting 13-for-21 from the field and 4-for-8 from downtown. Curry has started to hit form again and will enter Monday's clash against the Thunder with a chance to post a third consecutive 30-point game. OKC have been a weak defensive team against points guards, so Curry should have a great chance to extend the streak.

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler returned from a one-game absence with a game-high 29 points in Friday's 110-105 win over Orlando, adding six rebounds, six assists and two steals. He missed both of his attempts from deep but shot a solid 10-for-17 overall from the field with a 9-for-12 record at the line. Butler was a late scratch Tuesday against Boston with lower back tightness, but he had no problems carrying his team here, so it looks like he has shaken off the issue completely. A very favorable matchup against the Hornets is now coming up for Butler and the Heat. He has averaged 27.5 points, 8.5 rebounds and 8.0 assists against them this season.

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo dominated against the Pacers on Friday, lifting the team to a 141-131 victory with a game-high 41 points, 12 rebounds and six assists. He had a tough time from behind the arc with a 2-for-7 effort and struggled at the foul line by shooting 7-for-18, but Giannis' overall performance was very efficient as he went 16-for-29 from the floor. On the defensive end, he collected one steal and one block in 34 minutes of action. Antetokounmpo has had no trouble kicking into gear again following a five-game absence with a knee injury, averaging over 34 points during a three-game stretch with 12.7 rebounds, 4.7 assists and 1.3 steals.

Denver Nuggets guard Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (wrist) is expected to play on Saturday versus the 76ers. KCP missed Wednesday's loss to Milwaukee, allowing Christian Braun to enter the starting lineup and finish with eight points in 26 minutes. With the Nuggets possibly playing without Jamal Murray (hip), Bruce Brown (knee), and Michael Porter Jr. (personal), Caldwell-Pope may benefit on the offensive end.

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Kevin Love (back) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. The veteran forward will miss his second game in a row due to back spasms. His absence will free up additional playing time for Dean Wade. On Thursday, Wade had a decent game with 15 points, three rebounds, one assist over 23 minutes. He could be worth a look as a deep league streaming option while Love is sidelined.

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) is available for Friday's game against the Indiana Pacers. The superstar forward is good to go despite dealing with a minor knee issue. The expectation is that Antetokounmpo will see his normal workload during this game. Behind him, Wesley Matthews and Jordan Nwora could see bigger roles with Bobby Portis (knee) still sidelined. Fantasy managers should make sure they have Antetokounmpo in their lineups for Friday.
