D'Angelo Russell, PG, Los Angeles Lakers (Tailbone)

Kyle Lowry is questionable for Monday's game with a head injury, but his playing time when he is on the court has been limited lately. 

Darius Garland, PG, Cleveland Cavaliers (Jaw)

The Bulls stated over the weekend that Zach LaVine has begun to increase his workout activity, but still does not have a firm timetable for returning to game action.

Seth Curry, SG, Dallas Mavericks (Illness)

Seth Curry is questionable for Monday's game with an illness, and this is a situation to watch for this one game. If both Kyrie Irving and Luka Doncic should sit, Curry would have nice streaming value. 

Josh Richardson, SG, Miami Heat (Back)

Josh Richardson is listed as questionable for Monday night's game against the Clippers. He is still playing behind Tyler Herro and Duncan Robinson. 

Anfernee Simons, SG, Portland Trail Blazers (Illness)

Anfernee Simons won't be able to get back on the court just yet as he battles an illness and will miss Monday night's game. Scott Henderson and Malcolm Brogdon will continue to get the bulk of the guard minutes.

Dillon Brooks, SF, Houston Rockets (Oblique)

The Rockets have been very non-committal about Dillon Brook's oblique injury, but Coach Ime Udoka believes it will be at least a week. With the wing players for Houston decimated by injury, Jae'Sean Tate and Tari Eason look to pick up the slack.

Cam Reddish did not play on Sunday night with a groin injury and his status for Week 11 should be considered day-to-day.
