𝐖𝐄𝐃𝐍𝐄𝐒𝐃𝐀𝐘 𝐐𝐔𝐈𝐂𝐊 𝐇𝐈𝐓𝐒
🚑𝐈𝐍𝐉𝐔𝐑𝐘 𝐔𝐏𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄𝐒
✔ 𝐍𝐈𝐊𝐎𝐋𝐀 𝐉𝐎𝐊𝐈𝐂- COVID- Expect him to miss the week at the least. BONES HYLAND got Covid last week and is still out for tomorrow's game. AARON GORDON is also dealing with an illness but reportedly non-Covid so the Nuggets will be extremely shorthanded.
🚀 Jamal Murray, MPJ
➕ Jeff Green (stream), Zeke Nnaji, DeAndre Jordan (super deep leagues)
✔ 𝐃𝐄𝐒𝐌𝐎𝐍𝐃 𝐁𝐀𝐍𝐄- Toe Sprain- 2-3 weeks out. He's been great so this is a momentum breaker. Hopefully, it's not going to linger and he'll be back and continue his All-Star season
🚀 Ja Morant, Dillon Brooks
➕ Jon Konchar (16T leagues only), Tyus Jones (stream on certain days)
✔ 𝐏𝐀𝐎𝐋𝐎 𝐁𝐀𝐍𝐂𝐇𝐄𝐑𝐎- Sprain- still not practicing so could still be out tomorrow
✔ 𝐖𝐄𝐍𝐃𝐄𝐋𝐋 𝐂𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐄𝐑 𝐉𝐑- Plantar Fasciitis- Questionable
➕ Mo Bamba, Chuma Okeke (Both should be rostered till the Magic get healthy whenever that is)
✔ 𝐊𝐄𝐄𝐆𝐀𝐍 𝐌𝐔𝐑𝐑𝐀𝐘- Back injury- waiting for further updates. This guy can't catch a break, his rookie season's been rougher than we all predicted it to be.
➕ Malik Monk, Terrance Davis (went off today but I don't know if it's sustainable, at very best, he's a streamer for the next game)
✔ 𝐁𝐀𝐌 𝐀𝐃𝐄𝐁𝐀𝐘𝐎- Knee Contusion- Apparently hurt himself after scoring 30 points the last game. Hopefully, it's not as bad as it sounds. Questionable
🚀 Jimmy Butler
➕ Caleb Martin, Nikola Jovic (Dedmon's also out so maybe the rookie gets a call? speculative deep league guy)
✔ 𝐋𝐔𝐊𝐄 𝐊𝐄𝐍𝐍𝐀𝐑𝐃- Right calf strain
🚀 Norman Powell
➕ Nic Batum/Terrence Mann (streamers as they alternate good games and bad games)
🏀 𝐖𝐎𝐑𝐑𝐈𝐄𝐒
✔ JONAS VALANCIUNAS- No Zion today with a Foot Contusion but Jonas was still held to 13 minutes. Larry Nance meanwhile got 30 as the Pels continue to play fast and small most of the time. While he would play better in some games, I don't see him sniffing the top 50 or 60 or even top 70.
✔ STEVEN ADAMS- JJJ's back which hurts every big man in Memphis so we could put SANTI ALDAMA here too. Adams got limited minutes today due to matchup problems so I'm sure he'll get back to the mid 20s in the next games but we should expect his stats to taper off a bit with more competition for minutes.
✔ ISAIAH HARTENSTEIN- Got into foul trouble today but it does seem like unless Thibs gets fired, Hartenstein will not be able to maximize his full potential in NY. He's more of a 120-130 range guy this year as he is reduced to a roll guy in the PNR sets of the Knicks most games.
✔ COLLIN SEXTON- He's been playing better of late but couldn't get going today. Even at his very best, he is very limited as a fantasy prospect. One of the busts of draft day- Sexton is not a standard league guy this year.
✔ JUSUF NURKIC- returned to play 15 minutes today. He didn't seem fully healthy and was destroyed by Jakob Poeltl. His conditioning is a concern as he admitted not being in shape coming into the season so we might see him struggle more before he improves.
🏀 𝐏𝐄𝐑𝐒𝐎𝐍𝐒 𝐎𝐅 𝐈𝐍𝐓𝐄𝐑𝐄𝐒𝐓
✔ CAM REDDISH- 33 minutes again today, plus another 19 points. I don't think this will last thru the season, but he's absolutely an add in 14T leagues as long as he gets this much minutes. The physical tools are there, it's up to him to bring it all together.
✔ JERICHO SIMS- He was really active out there, catching lobs and gobbling rebounds. While Mitch Rob is still out, he's going to be serviceable in some games.
✔ JOSE ALVARADO- He's gotten 20 minutes the past 2 games and that's all he really needs to be a low-end PG option in fantasy. He's more 16T league guy, but could also be a replacement player in 14T leagues for assists/3s and specially steals.
✔ TERRANCE DAVIS- I'd keep an eye on Keegan's injury because it will open up some minutes for Davis. He's always been a good player but just lacks the minutes.
✔ JON KONCHAR- 36 minutes is great, the stats will be up and down but he should be okay streamer or add in 14T leagues and up for now.
✔ EDMOND SUMNER- He continues to start for the Nets while Kyrie's out. His stats won't wow you, but he has averaged 1.7S and 1.2 3s in the games he has spot-started for Kyrie. With the Nets struggling for depth, Sumner going to get consistent 22-23 minutes a game.
🔥 𝐓𝐎𝐃𝐀𝐘'𝐒 𝐓𝐎𝐏 𝐒𝐓𝐔𝐃𝐒
✔ JAKOB POELTL- Well hello, Jakob! 31-14-5 plus 1 block and 14/17 FG shooting. He has been disappointing this season but last 4 games, he has picked his game up. Nice to see him being aggressive on offense but all we really want is for the rebounding to continue (11 a game for the past 4) and more blocks (he has 6 in his last 3).
✔ JERAMI GRANT- He's on fire, adding 6 more 3s today and another 29 points. He has 20 3s in his last 4 games, shooting 59% from 3. He's at career highs in percentages (49% FG, 42% 3PTS) this season too. Will he keep it up? Sell high if you can.
