Booker is primed to return to the lineup after missing four games with a sprained right ankle. The Suns went 2-2 in his absence. Royce O'Neale should return to the bench, but he'll have a significant role with Gordon out. Phoenix has tightened up its rotation with Booker and Okogie out, as only six players (including Gordon) have averaged more than 16.5 minutes per game over their last four contests.

Barrett is questionable to return after being a late scratch on Saturday, while Brown is also questionable to return after missing the last four games. Both questionable tags provide plenty of uncertainty around how Toronto will line up against Denver. Those last four games coincided with Barnes' injury and Agbaji's entry into the starting lineup in his place. Coach Rajakovic may prefer to give Brown a look in the starting lineup if available.
Confirmed Lineup: Jamal Murray, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Michael Porter Jr., Aaron Gordon, Nikola Jokic

The Celtics are beginning a back-to-back set on Monday. Boston travels to play Utah on Tuesday night. The injury report is an obvious clue that the team is considering mass rest on the front end against the 18-45 Blazers, who are in 14th place in the Western Conference. Horford could draw into the lineup for Porzingis, and he'll then almost assuredly sit on Tuesday night against the Jazz. The remainder of the Boston lineup on Monday is yet to be determined, but it would not be surprising if all or most of the starting five is out.
If everyone does sit, one option for a starting lineup could be Payton Pritchard, Jaden Springer, Sam Hauser, Oshae Brissett, and Horford. If coach Mazzulla also elected to rest Horford or bring him off the bench, Luke Kornet could start, with Xavier Tillman also in the mix.
Confirmed Lineup: Scoot Henderson, Anfernee Simons, Kris Murray, Jerami Grant, Deandre Ayton

Jabari Walker (hip) — Out
