Fantasy Impact: Harris will miss a second-straight game on Monday thanks to an ankle injury. It's not a serious issue, and he may be able to return as soon as Wednesday's game against the Phoenix Suns. Until then, Nicolas Batum is primed to see a huge workload in his absence.

De'Anthony Melton (back) remains out for Monday's game against the Miami Heat. (Source: NBA Injury Report)
Fantasy Impact: A back injury has been bothering Melton for multiple months, and he is set to miss another game because of it on Monday. Recent reports offer some optimism that he is aiming to make his return before the end of the season, but fantasy managers shouldn't be holding out hope that he will have meaningful production at any point in the regular season.

Robert Covington (knee) will be out again for Monday's game against the Miami Heat. (Source: NBA Injury Report)
Fantasy Impact: As expected, Covington will not be available to play on Monday. He has been out for a large chunk of the season so far, and at this point, he carries nearly no fantasy value. He has been practicing in a limited fashion recently, so it's possible that he will return to the lineup before the season is over.
