Philadelphia 76ers forward Paul George (knee) won't play on Monday against the Hornets. The Sixers will face the Bucks on Tuesday night, so George will sit this one out before presumably returning for that contest. With Joel Embiid (knee) also ruled out, Tyrese Maxey, VJ Edgecombe, and Kelly Oubre Jr. should see the most scoring opportunities. Quentin Grimes may also find a spot in the starting lineup, with the former Knick averaging 12.0 points, 5.7 assists, and 1.1 steals in seven starts this season.

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee) won't play on Monday in Charlotte. The 31-year-old has picked things up from a production standpoint of late, most recently amassing 38 points in Saturday's loss to the New York Knicks. His knee appeared to be bothering him late in that contest, so it's unknown if he's being held out for that reason, or if its to keep him fresh for Tuesday's meeting with the Milwaukee Bucks. With Embiid sidelined, Andre Drummond will likely slide into the starting lineup, with the 2012 No. 9 overall pick averaging 8.9 points and 11.2 boards in 16 starts this season.

Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (knee, illness) is available against the Nets. The multi-time All-Star isn't feeling well while also dealing with a left knee contusion. However, he's good to go for a favorable matchup versus Brooklyn, a team that has struggled defensively throughout the 2025 campaign. With Leonard cleared for action, Kobe Sanders and Jordan Miller should see considerably fewer scoring opportunities.

Miami Heat guard Norman Powell (back) is available to play ahead of Sunday's game against the Phoenix Suns. As expected, Powell is cleared to play after being listed as probable coming into this game. He has been dealing with a back issue, but will continue to play through the injury. Powell will continue to have a significant workload while the Heat are without Tyler Herro (ribs) and Davion Mitchell (shoulder) right now. Fantasy managers should make sure to get Powell in their lineups ahead of tip-off.
