Atlanta Hawks forward Jonathan Kuminga (knee) is considered questionable for Tuesday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. He is dealing with a bone bruise in his left knee, and it might sideline Kuminga for a third consecutive game. Kuminga's absence from the rotation has given Zaccharie Risacher, Corey Kispert, and Mouhamed Gueye a chance to stake a claim for more playing time, but none of the trio has stepped up. The Hawks are increasingly depending on their starters as they chase a playoff spot.

Los Angeles Clippers forward/center John Collins (neck) isn't expected to play this week, Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com reports. He will be out for a fifth consecutive game on Monday night against the New York Knicks. It looks like Collins will then miss at least three more games due to a neck strain. As a result of Collins' absence, Kobe Sanders' role on the team has grown, but he hasn't been a reliable source for fantasy value. Collins is the second Clippers big man to go down in a short period, joining Yanic Konan Niederhauser (foot), who has been ruled out for the season. Brook Lopez and Isaiah Jackson must now hold down the fort at center,

Golden State Warriors center Quinten Post will join the starting lineup for Monday's tilt against the Utah Jazz. The Warriors head into the action without Al Horford (toe) and Kristaps Porzingis (illness), giving Post a chance to make his 33rd start of the campaign. He has averaged 9.1 points and 4.4 rebounds as a member of the first unit. On Monday, he's in a good position to eclipse these numbers, as the Jazz have had trouble against opposing big men all season.

Sacramento Kings guard/forward DeMar DeRozan (illness) is poised to return from a one-game absence on Tuesday night against the Indiana Pacers. The team has removed DeRozan from the injury report after he sat out Sunday's loss to Chicago due to illness. DeRozan's absence allowed Daeqwon Plowden to start, and he had a fine performance with 16 points, three rebounds, and two assists. Plowden had totaled only 10 points as a reserve across the previous three games, so he shouldn't interest fantasy managers with DeRozan back.
