Rotoworld

Jonas Valančiūnas

DEN Center #17

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players
Jonas Valanciunas (left calf contusion) is available for Monday’s game against the Kings and will start alongside C.J. McCollum, Herb Jones, Brandon Ingram and Trey Murphy.

Valanciunas was a full participant in Sunday’s practice, so things seemed to be headed in this direction. With the starting center back in action, Willy Hernangomez will return to the bench. He’ll still be in the rotation, but Hernangomez’s fantasy ceiling is limited when used in a reserve role.

Kristaps Porziņģis

ATL Forward-Center #8

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players
Kristaps Porziņģis (Achilles) has been ruled out against the Celtics on Saturday.

Porziņģis is set to miss a fifth straight game. Mouhamed Gueye should continue to fill out the backup center minutes, with Asa Newell and the recently-signed Christian Koloko also potentially sprinkling in some minutes. However, Onyeka Okongwu will continue to log most of the minutes at center.

Isaiah Hartenstein

OKC Center-Forward #55
Isaiah Hartenstein (calf) is out for Saturday’s game against the Heat.

Hartenstein is set to miss his 11th game in a row with a strained right soleus. Either Cason Wallace or Aaron Wiggins will start in his place while Wiggins is the preferred streaming option.

Dyson Daniels

ATL Guard #5
Dyson Daniels (ankle) is questionable to play against the Celtics on Saturday.

Daniels’ potential absence would leave the Hawks’ rotation even thinner than it already is. CJ McCollum would have a chance to make his first start for Atlanta, though Luke Kennard could also slide in to fill that spot. Keaton Wallace is another candidate to start if the Hawks are looking for more defense in place of Dyson.

Josh Minott

BOS Forward #8

Josh Minott (ankle) has been ruled out against the Hawks on Saturday.

This will be a sixth straight absence for Minott with no end in sight. Sam Hauser and Jordan Walsh may take on a few extra minutes with Minott out, but he had practically fallen out of the rotation prior to this string of absences.

Payton Pritchard

BOS Guard #11
Payton Pritchard (ankle) is doubtful to play against the Hawks on Saturday.

Pritchard is expected to miss a game for the first time this season. Anfernee Simons, who scored 39 points against Miami on Thursday, should enter the starting lineup and could be in for another big night in a larger role.

Christian Koloko

ATL Center #35

Hawks signed Christian Koloko to a two-way contract.

Koloko has spent time with both the Lakers and Grizzlies this season and will now get a chance with Atlanta. With how much time Kristaps Porzingis was missed recently, Koloko should get the chance to fill out minutes as the backup center for the Hawks, though it is unlikely he plays a significant role for them.

Paul Reed

DET Forward #7

Paul Reed (personal) is questionable to play against the Pacers on Saturday.

Reed missed Thursday’s game against the Suns and could remain out for a second straight game. However, with Jalen Duren (ankle) back and Isaiah Stewart healthy, Reed won’t see the floor enough to make an impact for fantasy managers whether he’s available or not.

Ausar Thompson

DET Guard-Forward #9

Ausar Thompson (heel) is probable to play against the Heat on Saturday.

Thompson is expected to suit up despite a heel contusion. He briefly exited Thursday’s game with a knee issue, but he was able to return. That limited his minutes, but he should be back to playing his typical role against Indiana.

Cade Cunningham

DET Guard #2

Cade Cunningham (wrist) is probable to play against the Pacerson Saturday.

Cunningham was back on Thursday after missing Detroit’s two previous games. He should be good to go against Indiana and will look to bounce back after being held to 3-of-16 shooting against the Suns.

Davion Mitchell

MIA Guard #45
Davion Mitchell (shoulder) has been ruled out against the Thunder on Saturday.

Mitchell will remain out for a second straight game, which leaves the starting point guard spot open. Pelle Larsson filled it on Thursday, though he was unproductive in his 31 minutes. Kasparas Jakucionis did more with his 27 minutes, though a matchup with this Thunder defense isn’t ideal for a rookie point guard.
