Deng (hamstring) is doubtful to play in Monday's game against the Celtics, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Analysis:

Deng has missed two consecutive games with a lingering hamstring injury, and though coach Erik Spoelstra said the small forward was able to get in some work on the sidelines during Sunday's practice, it doesn't sound like Deng is ready to go quite yet. By sitting out again Monday, Deng will be able to avoid a longer-term setback while also picking up some rest in advance of Thursday's tilt with the Thunder. Look for Gerald Green to continue to start in Deng's place Monday.
