What It Means:

Monroe has been coming along with his rehab and he has been working out for the last week. However, the big man's name has been floated as a trade chip or a buyout candidate, so his minutes are nowhere near guaranteed once he is healthy. That being said, Tyson Chandler (illness) is questionable for Thursday, so if he and Monroe are out, Alex Len is going to be a popular DFS option.

Upon his return, our models like Monroe to average 11.0 points and 6.9 rebounds across 23 minutes per game the rest of the year.
