Cleveland Cavaliers guardLonzo Ball(illness) won't play on Monday against the Indiana Pacers due to an illness. Ball also sat out Sunday's matchup with the Celtics. Darius Garland (rest) andSam Merrill(hand) are sidelined as well, meaningCraig Porter Jr. could absorb extra minutes off the bench. Fantasy managers could also look to Jaylon Tyson for reliable offensive production as he will have an expanded role this evening.

Houston Rockets centerSteven Adams(rest) will miss Monday's game against the Utah Jazz. Adams will have tonight's tilt off to rest after finishing with 13 points, 12 rebounds, two assists, one steal, and one block across 17 minutes during a 129-101 win over the Jazz on Sunday. Clint Capela will likely be assigned extra minutes with Adams out this evening. However, Capela shouldn't be viewed as a solid fantasy basketball option, as he is averaging just 3.6 points and 4.6 rebounds per contest this season.

Cleveland Cavaliers guardDarius Garland (rest) is unavailable for Monday's clash against the Indiana Pacers. Garland will have the second half of back-to-back games off to rest. The 25-year-old finished with 21 points, three rebounds and eight assists across 31 minutes during Sunday's 117-115 loss to the Celtics. With Lonzo Ball (illness) also out of action, Cleveland's backcourt will have to turn to Tyrese Proctor and Craig Porter to take on extra minutes during tonight's tilt.

Atlanta Hawks centerKristaps Porzingis(illness) won't play on Monday night versus the Detroit Pistons. Porzingis will be held out of action for the third consecutive contest due to illness. Despite playing in only 12 games this season, the 30-year-old is still considered an everyday fantasy option, averaging 18.7 points, 5.9 rebounds, and 1.6 blocks in 26.3 minutes. It's unknown if he'll be ready to go on Wednesday against the Clippers. In the meantime,Onyeka Okongwu remains a must-start at center in all fantasy formats as he is averaging 16.2 points, 7.4 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 1.9 blocks and 1.5 steals across 20 outings.
