Oso Ighodaro Doubtful for Monday Against Thunder
Phoenix Suns center Oso Ighodaro (oblique) is doubtful for Monday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder, according to The Arizona Republic's Duane Rankin. Ighodaro injured his right oblique late in the first half of the season opener and missed Saturday's win over Golden State. Head coach Jordan Ott said Phoenix believes it avoided a serious injury, but Ighodaro appears headed for another absence. He played all 82 games last season, averaging 6.5 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 2.3 assists. With Mark Williams (shoulder) also out, Khaman Maluach should stay busy after posting nine points, nine rebounds, three assists, and two blocks on Saturday.

Charles Bassey Likely to Play Monday
Golden State Warriors center Charles Bassey (knee) is probable for Monday's game against the Denver Nuggets, according to ESPN's Anthony Slater. Right patellar tendinopathy kept Bassey out of the first two games, but he made an impact in Saturday's season debut with 10 points, seven rebounds, and two blocks in 13 minutes while shooting 4-for-4 from the field. Al Horford and Draymond Green are both cleared to return Monday, which should cut into Bassey's opportunities. Kristaps Porzingis (illness) remains sidelined, but with Horford and Green back in the mix, Bassey may have a hard time getting enough minutes to build on Saturday's strong showing.

Brandon Williams Expected to Play Through Back Soreness
Golden State Warriors guard Brandon Williams (back) is probable for Monday's game against the Denver Nuggets with left lower back soreness. Williams made the most of a spot start Saturday, finishing with 20 points, three rebounds, five assists, and two steals in 24 minutes during a 131-122 loss to Phoenix. Stephen Curry and Brandin Podziemski are both cleared to return after sitting out that game, so Williams should head back to a smaller bench role. He has still averaged 2.0 steals in 17.1 minutes through three games, giving him some defensive-stat appeal when the minutes are there.

Gui Santos Questionable Monday in Denver
Golden State Warriors forward Gui Santos (knee) is questionable for Monday's game against the Denver Nuggets with left knee tendinitis, according to ESPN's Anthony Slater. Santos exited Saturday's 131-122 loss to Phoenix in the third quarter after posting seven points, four rebounds, and three assists in 23 minutes. He called the injury a minor tweak afterward and did not expect a lengthy absence. Santos started in place of Draymond Green (back), who is cleared to return Monday, so a bench role likely awaits even if he plays. With Jimmy Butler III (knee) and Moses Moody (knee) still out, Will Richard and Georges Niang could see extra wing minutes if Santos sits.
