Player Updates Overview

Anthony Davis sustained a left index finger sprain on Friday night and is expected to be out approximately 1-2 weeks.

Advice: Davis hurt his finger in the fourth quarter of Friday's loss to the Blazers. He underwent an X-ray on his left hand afterward, and fortunately, it appears he did not suffer any fractures. The Pelicans play on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday of next week, which means AD will miss at least three games. The earliest he will be able to return is next Saturday vs. the Spurs. While Davis is sidelined, Julius Randle and Nikola Mirotic will see their playing time increase and their usage rates spike. Rotoworld.com 24 minutes ago

Chris Paul (hamstring) practiced with the team on Friday and "may be a week away" from returning.

Advice: Last week, coach Mike D'Antoni said that Paul was 2-3 weeks away from a return, so it appears CP3 is heading in the right direction. The Rockets want their point back in action, but obviously, don't want to rush him back due to the nature of the hamstring injury. Rotoworld.com Today, 6:36 am

Jeremy Lin (illness) is not on the injury report for Saturday's game vs. the Celtics.

Advice: Lin returned to practice on Thursday and appears on track to suit up for Saturday's contest. The Hawks two top scorers, Trae Young and John Collins are both questionable due to illness, so Lin could see plenty of playing time and shot attempts if both Young and JC are ruled out.
