Confirmed Lineup: Killian Hayes, Jaden Ivey, Bojan Bogdanovic, Kevin Knox, Jalen Duren
Cade Cunningham (knee) — Out
Isaiah Stewart (ankle) — In
Monte Morris (quad) — Out
While Cunningham and Morris are likely to miss Monday's game, the fact that they were both given doubtful tags as opposed to immediately being ruled out suggests they are both nearing a return. Cunningham is averaging a career-best 22.8 points and 7.3 assists per game in his third NBA season. Meanwhile, if Morris can return to the lineup and demonstrate health, he could be an additional trade piece for a rebuilding Detroit team. He is one of six Pistons that will be unrestricted free agents this summer.
Confirmed Lineup: Donovan Mitchell, Max Strus, Isaac Okoro, Dean Wade, Jarrett Allen
Caris LeVert (wrist) — Out
Darius Garland (jaw) — Injured
Evan Mobley (knee) — Injured
Ty Jerome (ankle) — Injured
The Cavaliers have gone 12-3 since December 16, the first game they played without both Garland and Evan Mobley. Over that span, Donovan Mitchell has averaged 28.4 points, 7.3 assists, and 4.7 rebounds per game, while Jarrett Allen has averaged 18.0 points and 13.0 rebounds per contest.
Cleveland is also carrying an active seven-game winning streak into Monday's game at Orlando, making them the hottest team in the NBA.
Confirmed Lineup: Anthony Black, Jalen Suggs, Franz Wagner, Paolo Banchero, Wendell Carter Jr.
Markelle Fultz (injury maintenance) — Out
Jonathan Isaac (injury maintenance) — Out
Gary Harris (calf) — Out
Wagner returned Sunday after an eight-game absence with a sprained right ankle. The Magic also shook up their starting lineup by returning Fultz and Carter Jr. to the first five. The overall rotation also changed in a big way, as recent starters Chuma Okeke, Caleb Houstan, and Goga Bitadze all either did not play or had minimal roles.
Orlando has the easiest remaining schedule in the NBA, which is notable with the team returning to full health at the right time.
Confirmed Lineup: Tre Jones, Devin Vassell, Julian Champagnie, Jeremy Sochan, Victor Wembanyama
Zach Collins (ankle) — Available

LaMelo Ball (ankle) — Active
Nick Richards (ankle) — Out
Cody Martin (knee) — Out
Gordon Hayward (calf) — Injured
Mark Williams (back) — Injured
If Ball misses a second straight game with a sore right ankle, Rozier would likely once again slide over to point guard, opening up a starting spot for Cody Martin on the wing. Rozier has been phenomenal without Ball this year, averaging 24.7 points, 7.3 assists, and 4.2 rebounds per game in 19 contests without LaMelo. However, he won't find it easy against a Minnesota team that remains atop the league in defensive efficiency with a 108.5 rating, 1.8 points per 100 possessions better than second-place Boston.
Confirmed Lineup: Nickeil Alexander-Walker, Anthony Edwards, Jaden McDaniels, Karl-Anthony Towns, Rudy Gobert

Andre Drummond (back) — Available
Patrick Williams (ankle) — Available
Zach LaVine (ankle) — Injured
Torrey Craig (foot) — Injured
Lonzo Ball (knee) — Out for season
In the first game of LaVine's expected one-two week absence, Williams returned to the starting lineup. DeRozan and Coby White combined for 34 shots in a blowout win over Memphis. DeRozan averages 23.3 points per game when LaVine misses this season, up from 20.9 with him in the lineup. White, however, sees the biggest jump of any Bull without LaVine, scoring 22.1 points per game without him vs. 15.9 with him.
Confirmed Lineup: Devin Booker, Bradley Beal, Grayson Allen, Kevin Durant, Jusuf Nurkic
Grayson Allen (knee) — Available
Eric Gordon (wrist) — Out

Trae Young (concussion protocol) — Out
Wesley Matthews (calf) — Out
De'Andre Hunter (knee) — Injured
Vit Krejci (calf) — Injured
Mouhamed Gueye (back) — Injured
Young is in concussion protocol and will miss out on Monday after leaving Saturday's game early. One day earlier, when Young was out with an illness, Bogdanovic started and played 35 minutes in his place. Murray has a 29.7% usage rate when Young is off the court this season; when the two are on the court together, Murray's usage rate is 22.6%.
Confirmed Lineup: De'Aaron Fox, Kevin Huerter, Harrison Barnes, Keegan Murray, Domantas Sabonis
