There’s no clear timeline for either Simons or Ivey to return to Chicago’s lineup. Until the pair is cleared to return, Tre Jones and Rob Dillingham should handle additional responsibilities.

Grimes is a late addition to the injury report, and that’s bad news for a Sixers team that will already be missing Kelly Oubre Jr., Tyrese Maxey, Paul George and Joel Embiid. MarJon Beauchamp and Justin Edwards should take on expanded roles, while Jabari Walker and Trendon Watford could see increased run, too.

Powell has missed two straight games, while Wiggins has missed eight in a row. Both could slot immediately back into the starting lineup, though Wiggins could face a minutes restriction after so much time off. Pelle Larsson and Simone Fontecchio could see their roles reduced with Powell and Wiggins available.

Small is dealing with lower back soreness, and it could keep him sidelined against Atlanta. With Cedric Coward (personal) still out and Memphis’ backcourt banged up, Small’s absence could mean more playing time for Walter Clayton Jr. and Rayan Rupert.

Williams is dealing with right shoulder soreness, and he could be forced to sit out after playing too well for the tanking Jazz. If C-Will is ultimately ruled out, more work could be available for Kennedy Chandler and EJ Harkless.

Suggs has been great since the All-Star break, so his absence will certainly be felt by fantasy managers looking for a playoff victory. Suggs’ absence should mean more run for Tristan da Silva, who makes a worthwhile streaming option.

Siakam and Toppin played in Saturday’s loss to the Spurs, with the former making his first appearance since March 8. Siakam played 29 minutes against San Antonio, with Toppin logging 19 minutes off the bench. Expect the forwards to take on similar workloads if allowed to play on Monday, with Jarace Walker likely being asked to log heavy minutes.

Nembhard and Nesmith were in the Pacers’ starting lineup for Saturday’s loss to the Spurs, playing 28 and 25 minutes, respectively. They’ll likely take on similar workloads if available against the Magic. While Nembhard can still provide reliable standard-league value, Nesmith is a deep-league option at best.

Smart is dealing with a sore right ankle, casting some doubt on his availability for Monday’s game. If he can’t play, Jake LaRavia would be asked to move into the starting lineup, giving him some streaming value in deep leagues. Luke Kennard would also pick up additional opportunities if Smart sits.

Hachimura’s availability is more impactful, as he has consistently logged rotation minutes off the bench. If he can’t play on Monday, Jarred Vanderbilt could enter the rotation after picking up a DNP-CD in Saturday’s win over the Magic. As for Kleber, he has not appeared in a game since March 8. If available, his minutes are likely to be limited.
