The Scoop: Looney is shedding a questionable designation with a heel contusion to suit up Monday. The veteran big man has averaged 2.4 points, 4.0 rebounds and 1.4 assists in 13.1 minutes per contest across nine games this season.

 The Scoop: The veteran big man took a seat during Sunday's blowout loss to the Thunder, but he's set to be available off the bench Monday. Williams has averaged 4.5 points, 4.4 rebounds, 0.8 assists and 0.8 blocks in 12.8 minutes per contest over 10 games this season.

 The Scoop: Wade is battling a hyperextended knee in the aftermath of Sunday's win over the Clippers. If he ends up sitting out, Nae'Qwan Tomlin would likely be needed to handle significant minutes for the banged-up Cavaliers.

 The Scoop: Porter will miss a second straight game Monday. Hamstring injuries tend to linger, so he's in danger of missing more action for the cautious Cavaliers, who continue to take their time getting multiple players back to 100 percent.

 The Scoop: Hunter is getting the night off after logging 29 minutes in Sunday's win over the Clippers. In all likelihood, the forward will be back in the lineup for Friday's tilt against the Hawks. Hunter's absence should free up enough playing time to get Dean Wade (knee) onto most streaming radars if he suits up, especially with Jarrett Allen (finger) missing another contest.

 The Scoop: After sitting out the first leg of this back-to-back set, Ball will be back in the mix Monday night. He may see increased usage as well, as the Cavaliers are resting Darius Garland and several others will be unavailable.

 The Scoop: Monday is the second leg of the Cavaliers' back-to-back, so it's no surprise to see Garland listed out with toe injury management. The expectation is that the star guard will be ready to return for Friday's matchup in Atlanta. Jaylon Tyson remains worth streaming in most fantasy leagues Monday, especially with De'Andre Hunter also resting.

 The Scoop: Allen will miss a third straight game as he continues to recover from a strained right finger. Allen's next chance to play comes Friday against the Hawks. The Cavaliers continue to treat the big man as day-to-day, but at this point, it's unclear when Allen will be cleared to play again.

 The Scoop: Claxton is a bit banged up for the second leg of this back-to-back set, but the center intends to play through it. During Sunday's loss to Toronto, Claxton logged 10 points (4-6 FG, 2-2 FT), 11 rebounds, three assists and two blocks over 31 minutes.

 The Scoop: Powell underwent an MRI on his strained left groin Monday, and the Heat are awaiting the results. The star swingman can be deemed day-to-day ahead of Wednesday's tilt against the Bucks, though the Heat aren't yet able to bring his return timetable into focus, per Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald. Even with Tyler Herro (ankle) expected to make his season debut, Davion Mitchell should maintain a prominent role in the backcourt.
