Player Notes

  • BOS starting Jrue, White, Brown, Tatum, Porzingis
    Jrue Holiday, Derrick White, Jaylen Brown, Jayson Tatum, and Kristaps Porzingis will start Thursday’s game against the Hawks.

    Advice: Holiday is back after missing five games with a shoulder injury, so the Celtics will go with their preferred starting lineup. Also back in the lineup is White, who did not play in Monday’s loss in Atlanta. As a result, Sam Hauser will come off the bench, while Al Horford (toe) has been ruled out. Rotoworld Today, 4:21 pm
  • Alec Burks (shoulder) questionable Friday vs. SAS
    Alec Burks (right shoulder sprain) is questionable for Friday’s game against the Spurs.

    Advice: Burks has missed New York’s last two games and has not been a player worth rostering in most fantasy leagues since returning to the Big Apple. Bojan Bogdanovic has also struggled since being traded to the Knicks, cutting into his fantasy value. If anything, their struggles have convinced Tom Thibodeau to play Miles McBride even more, which has boosted his fantasy value and improved the Knicks’ offensive productivity.

  • Update: Josh Green (ankle) out Friday vs. Kings
    Updating a prior post, Josh Green (right ankle sprain) has been ruled out for Friday’s game against Sacramento.

    Advice: Green was absent from the initial injury report, which may have been a clerical error. He is now sidelined for another game, which leaves Tim Hardaway Jr. and Dante Exum to handle the perimeter minutes off the bench. Starters Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving have also played a few more minutes in the Mavericks’ more competitive games. Rotoworld Today, 4:08 pm

  • Heads to G League for rehab
    Minnesota transferred Clark (Achilles) to the G League's Iowa Wolves on Thursday.

    Advice: Clark was a second-round pick by the Timberwolves but has yet to play this season while recovering from Achilles surgery he underwent during his final collegiate season at UCLA in 2022-23. It's unclear if he'll be cleared to play before the end of his rookie campaign, but it's encouraging to see the youngster ramping up in the G League. Rotowire.com Today, 4:07 pm
  • Questionable for Friday
    Juzang (back) is questionable to play Friday against the Rockets.

    Advice: Juzang missed Wednesday's loss to the Spurs and is now in danger of missing a second consecutive contest. However, even if he's available, he's not expected to impact the rotation significantly. Rotowire.com Today, 4:06 pm
  • Available Thursday
    Beauchamp (back) is available for Thursday's game against the Pelicans, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: As expected, Beauchamp has been upgraded from probable to available. However, the Bucks are at full strength, so he's not guaranteed playing time. Rotowire.com Today, 3:50 pm
  • Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (quad) doubtful Friday
    Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (right quad contusion) is doubtful for Friday’s game against the Suns.

    Advice: Gilgeous-Alexander was held out of Wednesday’s loss to Houston, with Cason Wallace replacing him in the starting lineup. Wallace did not offer much production in that role, with Isaiah Joe and Aaron Wiggins playing more minutes and delivering higher value. Joe and Wiggins are better deep-league streamers than Wallace despite coming off the bench. Rotoworld Today, 3:47 pm
  • Won't play Friday
    Anunoby (elbow) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Spurs.

    Advice: Anunoby is set to spend his sixth straight game on the sidelines, and considering he hasn't been able to do much more than be a limited participant at shootaround, it seems unlikely that Anunoby will return for Sunday's game against the Thunder. Josh Hart, Donte DiVincenzo and Miles McBride will continue to pick up the slack in his absence. Rotowire.com Today, 3:45 pm

  • Luka Doncic (Achilles) questionable Friday vs. SAC
    Luka Doncic (left Achilles soreness) is questionable for Friday’s game against the Kings.

    Advice: Doncic was also considered questionable ahead of Tuesday’s matchup with Sacramento but ultimately took on his usual role and played 32 minutes. Fantasy managers should anticipate that being the case on Friday as well. Should Doncic not play, Dante Exum would be in line for a more prominent role within the rotation. Rotoworld Today, 3:37 pm
