Horford (back) isn't listed on the injury report for Monday's game against the Nuggets.

Horford was held out of Saturday's loss to Phoenix in the second half of a back-to-back set, though he'll be back in action Monday. His return will leave fewer minutes available for the likes of Graham Ike and Charles Bassey (knee), who is listed as probable.

Bassey is probable for Monday's game against the Nuggets due to right patellar tendinopathy.

Bassey has been dealing with a right knee issue for some time, but he is likely to make a second straight appearance. The big man played well during Saturday's loss to the Suns, logging 10 points (4-4 FG, 2-3 FT), seven rebounds and two blocks in just 13 minutes.

Green (back) isn't listed on the injury report for Monday's game against Denver.

Green sat out Saturday's loss to Phoenix in the second leg of a back-to-back set, though he'll return to action Monday. In the first two games of the regular season, the veteran big man averaged 3.5 points, 7.0 assists, 4.5 rebounds and 1.0 blocks in 26.0 minutes per tilt.

Curry (rest) is not listed on the injury report and is available to play Monday against the Nuggets.

Curry didn't play Saturday against the Suns due to rest, but the star floor general isn't listed on Sunday's injury report, so he should be available to suit up Monday. That means Brandon Williams, who started at point guard versus Phoenix, should return to the bench. Curry is averaging 23.5 points per game despite shooting a mere 29.4 percent from three-point range in his two appearances this season.

Edgecombe has been downgraded to questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Pistons due to an abdominal contusion.

Edgecombe exited Saturday's game briefly and could miss the second half of the team's back-to-back set due to an abdominal injury. Kentavious Caldwell-Pope and Anfernee Simons are candidates for extra minutes if Edgecombe is unable to go.

White (calf) is out for Monday's game against the Wizards.

White has yet to play this season due to a left calf strain, and his next chance to suit up will come against the Pistons on Wednesday. Dennis Schroder should continue to handle an expanded role with White sidelined.

Dybantsa (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Hornets.

Dybantsa will miss a fourth consecutive contest due to a left ankle sprain, and his next chance to play will come Wednesday against Cleveland. With the rookie No. 1 overall pick sidelined, Bilal Coulibaly and Tre Johnson will likely continue seeing increased playing time.

Martin (thumb) is listed as doubtful for Monday's game against the Heat.

Martin is expected to remain on the inactive list for a fourth consecutive contest due to a right thumb sprain. His potential absence wouldn't affect the rotation.

Flagg (shoulder) is questionable to play Monday against the Heat.

The Mavericks diagnosed Flagg with a mild left shoulder sprain Saturday, and the questionable tag suggests a final call on his availability will be made closer to Monday's 7:30 p.m. ET tipoff. With Naji Marshall (illness) already ruled out, Marcus Sasser and Zaccharie Risacher would be the top candidates to start if Flagg is ruled out for Monday's road game.

Marshall (illness) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Heat.

Marshall is under the weather and will be held out of Monday's road game, and his next chance to suit up will come when the Mavericks host the Thunder on Wednesday. With the 28-year-old forward unavailable, Zaccharie Risacher and Marcus Sasser could see increased burn.
