Player Updates Overview

John Konchar still get the start against the Bucks on Wednesday, joining Ja Morant, Ziaire Williams, Jaren Jackson Jr. and Steven Adams in the starting lineup.

Advice: The obvious choice to take Desmond Bane’s (protocols) place would’ve been De’Anthony Melton, but the team will opt to keep him in his usual bench role. Still, neither Melton or Konchar will lack for opportunities with key guys like Bane, Tyus Jones, Kyle Anderson and Dillon Brooks all sidelined, so feel free to fire away on either with Melton being the more proven asset.

Aaron Wiggins will re-enter the starting lineup in place of Darius Bazley for Wednesday’s game against the Spurs, joining Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Josh Giddey, Lu Dort and Jeremiah Robinson-Earl in the first five.

Advice: Bazley looked pretty awful in his first start in a while on Monday, so a demotion is actually good news for him. Even when starting, Wiggins is still not the best guy to target, and we’d still prefer Bazley of the two despite their roles switching. NBCSportsEDGE.com 56 minutes ago

Jaylen Nowell (left ankle sprain) will play in Wednesday’s game against the Hawks.

Advice: He’s coming off of a nice second half in a win over the Knicks last night, and he’s been scoring pretty consistently. He’s just a deep-league guy even when he’s good, however. NBCSportsEDGE.com Today, 4:11 pm
