Tomas Satoransky and Chandler Hutchison both practiced on Wednesday, and are on track to return Friday against the Hornets. 

Advice: This is a big step forward for Satoransky and Hutchison, who are both recovering from COVID-19 and haven't played since December 29th. Billy Donovan said both are on track to return to play in the Bulls' next game on Friday against the Hornets, though it's unclear if either will be on a minutes-restriction.

P.J. Washington will play on Friday against the Bulls despite tweaking his ankle in practice on Tuesday.

Advice: Washington ranks just inside the top-100 players in 9-cat leagues and is having a strong season for the Hornets. He's averaging 12.9 points, 1.2 3-pointers, 7.1 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 1.4 blocks, and 0.9 steals per game.  Rotoworld.com 49 minutes ago

Sterling Brown (leg) is available to play on Wednesday against the Suns.

Advice: Brown's missed the last two games with the injury, but he'll return to a much different Rockets team. His spot in the rotation is a lot less clear with Victor Oladipo playing the same position.  Rotoworld.com Today, 10:32 am

Seth Curry won't play on Wednesday after being cleared from health and safety protocol due to reconditioning.

Advice: Curry was cleared after testing positive for COVID-19 and wasn't originally listed on the injury report, leading us to believe he'd play, but that's changed. The team wants to condition him so he's game-ready again after not playing for two weeks. For now, the red-hot Shake Milton has the 2-guard spot to himself. It'll be interesting to see what happens when Curry returns.  Rotoworld.com Today, 10:12 am

Zion Williamson is the first Pelicans player, and the youngest player in NBA history to record back-to-back games with 30 or more points on 70% shooting or better. 

Advice: It's all been shooting inside the paint, but that doesn't mean what Williamson's doing isn't impressive. In his last two games, he's made 27-of-34 shots from the field (79.4%) and scored 63 points. Williamson has a long way to go to develop into a franchise cornerstone, especially on the defensive end. But at 20 years old, his talent is evident. For fantasy purposes, Williamson ranks No. 96 in 9-cat leagues because of his poor shooting from the free-throw line and from distance. He isn't an incredible play-maker yet, either. Rotoworld.com Today, 7:42 am

Nickeil Alexander-Walker played 31 minutes off the bench in Tuesday’s loss to the Jazz, finishing with nine points (4-of-13 FGs), five rebounds, two assists, two steals, one block and one 3-pointer.

Advice: With Lonzo Ball back in the starting lineup following his return from knee tendinitis, Alexander-Walker returned to the second unit. But he still surpassed the 30-minute mark, which is good news when it comes to his fantasy value in the short-term. It’s worth noting that Ball was on a minutes restriction, which meant that Alexander-Walker wasn’t going to lose much in the way of playing time Tuesday night. Rostered in 22% of Yahoo leagues, Alexander-Walker has provided sixth-round value in both 8- and 9-cat formats over the last week. He stands to lose some minutes as Ball is cleared to play more, but NAW may be in the rotation to stay. Rotoworld.com Yesterday, 9:06 pm

Rudy Gobert posted a line of 13 points (6-of-8 FGs, 1-of-6 FTs), 18 rebounds, one assist, one steal and three blocked shots in 30 minutes Tuesday vs. the Pelicans.

Advice: Gobert dominated his matchup with Steven Adams, and he finished the game one rebound shy of his season-high (January 10 vs. Detroit). The negative for Gobert, both in Tuesday’s game and the season as a whole, has been his free throw shooting. He was 1-of-6 from the stripe on Tuesday, and for the season he’s making just 46.7% of his attempts. Fantasy managers who have Gobert rostered will either need to punt free throws, as he’s averaging just over five attempts per game, or hope that other players on their rosters will pick up the slack.

In his first game back from a sore right Achilles, Joe Ingles played 19 minutes and finished with 15 points (5-of-6 FGs), three rebounds, two assists, one block and five 3-pointers.

Advice: All six of Ingles’ field goal attempts were 3-pointers, and he managed to make a season-high five on the night. In six games this month he’s shooting 15-of-31 from three, and Ingles has scored 11 points or more in four of those outings. "We’ve been pretty open in saying it's the way we always want to play,” Ingles said when asked about his and Utah’s 3-point shooting (the Jazz made 21 3-pointers) on Tuesday. “… It was fun to be back out there, and I'm just glad we won, to be honest.” Rostered in 27% of Yahoo leagues, Ingles isn’t a great fantasy option, but he can change that with more performances like the one he put forth Tuesday night.

Donovan Mitchell led the Jazz past the Pelicans with a line of 28 points (9-of-15 FGs, 6-of-6 FTs), seven rebounds, four assists and four 3-pointers in 33 minutes.

Advice: The only negative for Mitchell on this night was the turnover count, as he was responsible for a team-high five. And turnovers are what have held him back in fantasy hoops, with Spida sitting just inside the top-75 in 9-cat. In 8-cat formats he’s threatening top-50 status, which still doesn’t hit his Yahoo ADP (25). If Mitchell is to be the top-25 player that fantasy managers expect him to be, he will need to be a more efficient player. Tuesday’s 9-of-15 effort from the field was good, but the five turnovers negated that. Rotoworld.com Yesterday, 8:59 pm

Nikola Jokic continued his MVP campaign on Tuesday, tallying 27 points, 12 boards, six assists, a steal and a block in the win.

Advice: Jokic had his way against the young OKC Thunder on Tuesday night, hitting 12-of-21 field goals and stuffing the stat sheet in less than three quarters. He's the top-rated player in fantasy basketball right now which is no surprise considering he's averaging a triple-double till this point. Seriously, he has to be in the MVP discussion.
