Detroit Pistons guard/forward Caris LeVert (hamstring) is still recovering from a hamstring injury and has picked up a questionable tag for Monday's matchup with the Cleveland Cavaliers. If LeVert is able to play, this would be his first game back since the season opener, where he registered eight points, two assists, one rebound, and one steal across 21 minutes. In his absence, Larry Nance Jr., Dean Wade, and Sam Merrill have all been seeing increased playing time. Merrill remains in the starting five, so if LeVert is downgraded, he makes the best streaming option for fantasy managers looking for shooting stats.

Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (hip/face) has picked up a probable tag ahead of Monday's matchup with the Cleveland Cavaliers. The superstar point guard is dealing with both a facial and hip contusion, but it doesn't seem too severe. In Sunday's win over the Boston Celtics, Cunningham finished with 25 points, eight assists, three rebounds, and one block while shooting 8-for-18 from the floor and 2-for-5 from the free throw line. If, for some reason, Cunningham doesn't suit up in this one, Ron Holland II and Javonte Green should both see an uptick in minutes.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Darius Garland (toe) will not return on Monday after being ruled out for a fourth consecutive game to start the season. The dynamic combo guard still doesn't have a firm timetable for his return to action, but is trending in the right direction. Since Lonzo Ball (rest) was also ruled out for this game against the Detroit Pistons, Craig Porter Jr. and Jaylon Tyson are in line for some added minutes off the bench. Porter went on a solid run last season with extended time and looks to be the better streaming option for fantasy managers needing a wider array of stats. In their last game on Sunday against the Milwaukee Bucks, he posted five points, three rebounds, one assist, and three steals across 16 minutes.

Cleveland Cavaliers point guard Lonzo Ball (rest) has been ruled out of Monday's contest against the Detroit Pistons. The veteran guard is getting a rest day due to injury management of his left knee. It was already communicated before the season started that Ball would likely sit out one half of back-to-backs throughout the year, and this will be the first one. With Darius Garland (toe) still sidelined, Craig Porter Jr. and Jaylon Tyson would be the next two guards to get some minutes off the bench. Porter has a better chance to provide all-around stats like he did on Sunday with five points, three rebounds, one assist, and three steals across 15 minutes.

The Memphis Grizzlies are signing free agent center Charles Bassey to a 10-day hardship contract, according to ESPN's Shams Charania. Currently, the Grizzlies have Scottie Pippen Jr., Ty Jerome, Brandon Clarke, and Zach Edey all missing extended periods of time with various injuries. In their last game, Jock Landale and Santi Aldama were splitting minutes in the front court along with Jaren Jackson Jr. While Basset will likely get a handful of minutes in a short period of time, he's not going to be much of a fantasy asset in standard-sized leagues. Bassey averaged 4.4 points and 4.2 rebounds across 10.4 minutes per game last season in 36 appearances with the San Antonio Spurs.

Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Anthony Edwards (hamstring) is set to miss the next two weeks. According to ESPN's Shams Charania, the superstar suffered a right hamstring strain and won't be back on the court until November. Edwards was only able to play three minutes during Sunday's game against the Indiana Pacers and registered five points and one rebound in that short time. In the meantime, Julius Randle, Donte DiVincenzo, and Jaden McDaniels will likely have to pick up some of the offensive slack. Mike Conley seems to be the most likely candidate to move into the starting lineup, but Naz Reid and Bones Hyland could also see some added minutes.

Lakers' G Austin Reaves recorded a double-double, scoring 51 points and grabbing 11 rebounds in a 127-120 win over Sacramento on Sunday, Oct. 26.

Milwaukee's F Giannis Antetokounmpo recorded a double-double, scoring 40 points and grabbing 14 rebounds in a 113-118 loss to Cleveland on Sunday, Oct. 26.

Hornets' G LaMelo Ball recorded a triple-double, finishing with 38 points, 13 assists and 13 rebounds in a 139-113 win over Washington on Sunday, Oct. 26.

Boston's F Jaylen Brown scored 41 points on 12-of-25 shooting in a 113-119 loss to Detroit on Sunday, Oct. 26.

Nets' G Cameron Thomas scored 40 points on 11-of-25 shooting in a 107-118 loss to San Antonio on Sunday, Oct. 26.

Philadelphia 76ers forward/center Dominick Barlow (elbow) won't be available for the team's upcoming back-to-back set against the Orlando Magic and Washington Wizards. He sustained an elbow laceration in Saturday's contest against the Charlotte Hornets and underwent a procedure on Sunday to get it fixed. After impressing during training camp, Barlow has begun the season as Philadelphia's starting power forward. He has averaged 7.5 points, 6.0 rebounds, and 2.5 assists in 25.0 minutes. Barlow's absence for the next couple of games could lead to increased roles for Jabari Walker and Justin Edwards in the rotation.

Oklahoma City Thunder shooting guard Isaiah Joe (knee) will have his season debut further delayed, as the team has ruled him out for Monday's road contest against the Dallas Mavericks. Joe hasn't yet fully recovered from a left knee contusion. With Alex Caruso (concussion) and Jalen Williams (wrist) also on the shelf, Ajay Mitchell has enjoyed a special start to the campaign, with Aaron Wiggins and Cason Wallace playing significant roles in the rotation as well. All three will once again be solid fantasy options on Monday night.

Oklahoma City Thunder guard/forward Alex Caruso (concussion) has not been cleared for Monday's game against the Dallas Mavericks, missing a third consecutive contest. The veteran has been sidelined since suffered a head injury in Tuesday's season opener against the Houston Rockets. Caruso's absence from the lineup has opened up additional minutes for players such as Aaron Wiggins, Ajay Mitchell, and Cason Wallace. Mitchell has been the most productive of the trio, averaging 18.7 points, 4.0 rebounds, and 4.3 assists. Wiggins has also performed well, while it's been a bit of a struggle for Wallace so far.

Golden State Warriors center Al Horford (toe) has been ruled out for Monday's meeting with the Memphis Grizzlies. The matchup will be the first leg of a back-to-back for the Warriors, and head coach Steve Kerr has said that he doesn't plan to use Horford in both games during these situations this season. The veteran should be back in action on Tuesday against Ivica Zubac and the Los Angeles Clippers. Quinten Post and Trayce Jackson-Davis get extra runouts with Horford on the shelf, although neither player impressed when he sat out Friday's action against the Portland Trail Blazers.

Phoenix Suns guard Jalen Green(hamstring) will remain out for Monday's clash against the Utah Jazz. Green continues to recover from a right hamstring strain, and his next opportunity to make his season debut will be on Wednesday night against the Memphis Grizzlies. Green's absence has given more offensive duties to Dillon Brooks (groin) and Grayson Allen. Brooks could also miss Monday's contest due to groin soreness, so Phoenix may need somebody else to step up and help Devin Booker on the attacking end.

Phoenix Suns center Mark Williams (knee) is not on the injury report for Monday's contest against the Utah Jazz. Due to a knee issue, he sat out the second leg of a back-to-back on Saturday against the Denver Nuggets. In two appearances this season, Williams has been limited to 19.0 minutes per game. He's averaged 4.0 points and 8.5 rebounds. While he hasn't done anything spectacular, Williams has been more productive than Phoenix's starting center, Oso Ighodaro, who has notched 6.7 points and 3.7 rebounds per game in 21.0 minutes.

Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Anthony Edwards (hamstring) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's clash against the Indiana Pacers. Edwards logged only three minutes of action before he was removed from the game due to right hamstring tightness. With him out, Julius Randle has taken over Minnesota's offense, scoring 20 first-half points. Terrence Shannon Jr., Bones Hyland, and Jaylen Clark get an opportunity to impress without Edwards. Minnesota has its next game scheduled for Monday against the Denver Nuggets, and Edwards should be regarded as questionable for the contest.

Phoenix Suns forward Dillon Brooks (groin) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Utah Jazz. He may be forced to miss his first game of the season due to a groin problem. Brooks is known as a defensive pest, but he's had a larger offensive role on the Suns squad with Jalen Green (hamstring) out of action at the start of the season. Through three games, Brooks has averaged 19.3 points in 30.3 minutes. He already has two 20-point games for the campaign despite struggling with his shooting. If Brooks sits out Monday's action, Royce O'Neale, Ryan Dunn, and Nigel Hayes-Davis may see increased playing time in the rotation.

Los Angeles Clippers guard Bradley Beal (back) has been ruled out for Sunday's contest against the Portland Trail Blazers. The veteran is dealing with a back problem early in the season and was initially regarded as questionable for the game. So far, Beal has contributed only 5.5 points in 20.0 minutes as a Clipper, and while he's been a starter, the team has monitored his minutes. On Sunday, Bogdan Bogdanovic will move into the starting lineup for his first appearance of the season. Kris Dunn may also pick up a few extra minutes with Beal sidelined.
