Memphis Grizzlies forward/center Taylor Hendricks (thumb) is listed as doubtful for Monday's matchup against the Nets due to soreness in his right thumb. The former lottery pick logged 18 points, four rebounds, two assists, two steals, two blocks, and three three-pointers across 26 minutes in Saturday's loss to the Clippers before the issue surfaced. Memphis is already thin due to injuries, so Olivier-Maxence Prosper and G.G. Jackson II could absorb additional frontcourt minutes. Prosper produced 11 points and three three-pointers in 23 minutes last game, while Jackson added 14 points and seven rebounds in 22 minutes.

Oklahoma City Thunder center Branden Carlson (back) will miss Monday's matchup against the Nuggets, marking another game on the sidelines as he continues recovering from a lingering back issue. His absence leaves Oklahoma City thin at center, especially with Isaiah Hartenstein (calf) already out and Chet Holmgren (illness) listed as questionable. Jaylin Williams could handle a larger workload after starting in the previous game and posting nine points, three three-pointers, 14 rebounds, and four assists in 33 minutes. Kenrich Williams may also see extra run after contributing 13 points and seven rebounds in 19 minutes.

Memphis Grizzlies guard Scotty Pippen Jr. (toe) is listed as doubtful for Monday's matchup with the Nets due to soreness in his right big toe. Pippen has been a regular part of the rotation lately, though the toe problem could keep him sidelined for the opening game of the back-to-back. If Pippen is ruled out, the Grizzlies could lean more heavily on Javon Small, who posted 11 points, seven rebounds, five assists, two steals, and one block in 33 minutes during a March 4 start. Walter Clayton Jr. and Cam Spencer should also see added ball-handling opportunities in deeper formats.

Denver Nuggets forward Peyton Watson (hamstring) will remain sidelined for Monday's matchup against the Thunder as he continues recovering from a right hamstring strain that has kept him out since early February. Watson had been logging around 31 minutes per game before the injury, leaving Denver to piece together wing minutes in his absence. Cameron Johnson returned from a two-game absence and started, finishing with 10 points, one three-pointer, three rebounds, five assists, and one steal in 22 minutes. Johnson has been inconsistent for much of the season, but he should continue seeing opportunities while Peyton Watson remains sidelined and Aaron Gordon is still ramping up after his return.
