Bruce Brown

DEN Guard-Forward #11

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players
The Nets will trade Dzanan Musa and a 2021 second round pick to acquire Bruce Brown from Detroit.

The Nets like Brown’s defense and how could they not, as Brown often guarded the best opposing player last season and averaged 1.4 steals and 0.6 blocks per 36 minutes. He’s also owed just $1.6M in the final year of his deal, and he has a shot of minutes right out of the gate. He could be viewed as a Garrett Temple replacement on the wings. This is a bad move in terms of fantasy value though, so this likely takes him out of the standard-league conversation.

Scotty Pippen

MEM Guard #1

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players
Scotty Pippen Jr., Jaylen Wells, Cedric Coward, GG Jackson and Olivier-Maxence Prosper will start Friday’s game against the Trail Blazers.

Despite this being his first game of the season, Pippen is in the starting lineup. However, like Ty Jerome when he made his debut, the point guard will be under a minutes restriction. Cam Spencer will continue to play quality minutes off the bench. The other change to the lineup is Prosper, who steps in as the starting center with Santi Aldama (knee) unavailable.

Maxime Raynaud

SAC Center #42
DeMar DeRozan, Russell Westbrook, Zach LaVine, De’Andre Hunter and Maxime Raynaud will start on Friday against the Clippers.

Sacramento’s opening lineup on Friday includes Maxime Raynaud, who is starting in place of the injured Domantas Sabonis (back). Raynaud has done a nice job during his rookie season when asked to start, and could play a key role against Los Angeles. Both the Kings and Clippers are seeking a win, each riding a multiple-game losing streak.

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope

MEM Guard #3

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (rest) will miss Friday’s game against the Trail Blazers.

Caldwell-Pope will rest on Friday, which leaves Memphis without one of its veteran rotation players. The 13th-year pro is having a down season as mostly a reserve player, posting his lowest scoring averages since his rookie season and some of the worst shooting numbers of his career. Caldwell-Pope’s absence shouldn’t impact the Grizzlies much on Friday from a fantasy basketball standpoint.

Scotty Pippen

MEM Guard #1

Scotty Pippen Jr. (toe) is available for Friday’s game against the Trail Blazers.

Pippen is officially available to make his season debut after undergoing offseason toe surgery. Like Ty Jerome before him, Pippen is likely to be under a minutes restriction. While he’s still capable of providing tangible fantasy value, Cam Spencer is a safer play for Friday’s slate.

Kyle Anderson

MEM Forward-Guard #2

Kyle Anderson (illness) is out for Friday’s game against the Trail Blazers.

Anderson’s second stint with the Grizzlies won’t begin on Friday, as he’s due to an illness. Since it’s unknown how he’ll fit into the rotation, SloMo’s absence does not affect fantasy basketball.

Blake Wesley

POR Guard #1

Blake Wesley (foot) is available for Friday’s game against the Grizzlies.

Wesley is set to play after initially being questionable for Friday’s game. With Deni Avdija (back) out, there should be rotation minutes available to Wesley. Scoot Henderson (hamstring) is available to make his season debut, but he’s unlikely to log heavy minutes.

Scoot Henderson

POR Guard #00

Scoot Henderson (hamstring) is available for Friday’s game against the Grizzlies.

Henderson is officially available to make his first appearance of the season for the Trail Blazers after suffering a torn hamstring during the offseason. Given the time that he’s missed, the guard will likely be under a minutes restriction. Also, those who have Henderson rostered should plan for him to sit out Saturday’s game against the Grizzlies.

Deni Avdija

POR Forward #8
Deni Avdija (back) will not play against the Grzzlies on Friday.

Without the services of their top scorer, the Trail Blazers will have to depend on the services of other players in order to end their current six-game losing streak, as Friday’s absence will mark the third straight for Avdija. The first-time All-Star selection is averaging career-highs in points, rebounds, and assists this season. Jerami Grant is a candidate to continue starting in Avdija’s spot.

Luka Dončić

LAL Forward-Guard #77
Luka Dončić (hamstring) is out for Saturday’s game against the Warriors.

Dončić suffered a strained left hamstring during Thursday’s win over the 76ers, exiting during the second quarter. Rui Hachimura started the third quarter, but Austin Reaves’ minutes restriction may have been the reason for that. Depending on how comfortable the Lakers are with Reaves playing starters’ minutes as he works his way back from a strained calf, it will influence who starts for Dončić.

Brandin Podziemski

GSW Guard #2
Brandin Podziemski (illness) is probable for Saturday’ sgame against the Lakers.

Podziemski was dealing with an illness during Thursday’s win over the Suns, playing just 13 minutes. He’s on track to be available Saturday night, which may result in fewer minutes for Pat Spencer. However, with Stephen Curry (knee) out, Spencer will still figure prominently in the rotation, especially after scoring a career-high 20 points on Thursday.
