Kaiser Gates

NBA Small Forward #30

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

The Pelicans have signed Kaiser Gates to a two-way contract, per The Athletic’s Shams Charania.

Since going undrafted out of Xavier in 2018, Gates has bounced around the G-League. Last season, he averaged 14 points for the Long Island Nets while shooting 55.4% from deep. New Orleans has a lot of depth already, so it’s unlikely that Gates gets much playing time in the NBA this season.

Domantas Sabonis

SAC Forward-Center #11

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players
ESPN’s Shams Charania reports that Domantas Sabonis (knee) is expected to return on Friday against the Wizards.

Sabonis, who has been out since November 16, was a full participant in Thursday’s practice. His return affects Maxime Raynaud the most, as the second-round pick has served as the starting center in Sabonis’ absence. However, fantasy managers may want to exercise a little patience with the rookie. Sabonis is one of the veteran Kings whose name has been mentioned in trade rumors, and a return to action could kick things up in that regard.

Patrick Baldwin

LAC Forward #23

Clippers signed Patrick Baldwin Jr. to a 10-day contract.

Baldwin, the 28th overall pick in the 2022 draft, was on a two-way deal with the Clippers to end last season before being waived in July. He most recently played for the franchise’s G League affiliate. His return to the NBA gives the Clippers more flexibility with Kobe Sanders and Jordan Miller, both on two-way contracts. However, this transaction does not affect fantasy basketball.

Garrett Temple

TOR Guard-Forward #17

Garrett Temple (back) is probable for Friday’s game against the Clippers.

While Temple is trending toward being available for Friday’s game, he hasn’t logged more than seven minutes in any of his ten appearances this season.

Immanuel Quickley

TOR Guard #5
Immanuel Quickley (back) is doubtful for Friday’s game against the Clippers.

Initially listed as questionable, Quickley is trending toward missing Friday’s game with back spasms. Jamal Shead, who has started the last three games in place of RJ Barrett, will figure more prominently within the rotation. Also, Ja’Kobe Walter could be moved back into the starting lineup if Quickley sits.

Kawhi Leonard

LAC Forward #2
Kawhi Leonard (ankle) is out for Friday’s game against the Raptors.

Initially questionable for Friday’s game, Leonard will not be available. While he scored 33 points in Wednesday’s win over the Wizards, the Clippers’ forward was on a restriction of 28-30 minutes, a sign that his ankle has been problematic. Kobe Sanders, who started for John Collins the last time out, should remain in the starting lineup, even if Collins returns.

Kam Jones

IND Guard #7

Kam Jones (ankle) is questionable for Friday’s game against the Pelicans.

Jones, who is dealing with a sprained right ankle, was absent from the Pacers’ initial injury report for Friday. The rookie guard’s availability won’t affect fantasy basketball, as he has not consistently played rotation minutes.

Mitchell Robinson

NYK Center-Forward #23

Mitchell Robinson (rest) is not on the injury report for Saturday’s game against the Suns.

Thursday’s loss to the Warriors was the Knicks’ second game in as many nights, so Robinson did not play. His return to the rotation will give the team better cover in the chance that Karl-Anthony Towns gets into early foul trouble. Also, the Knicks had some success with the two-big lineup in their January 9 loss to the Suns in Phoenix.

Jalen Brunson

NYK Guard #11
Jalen Brunson (ankle) is questionable for Saturday’s game against the Suns.

Brunson did not play in Thursday’s loss to the Warriors after spraining his right ankle the night prior in Sacramento. Miles McBride scored 25 points and dished out six assists as the starting point guard, and he would be worth rostering if Brunson has to miss another game. For those who already have Deuce, he may be worth holding onto if the Knicks’ captain returns, given the team’s need for consistent bench production.

Sandro Mamukelashvili

TOR Forward-Center #54
Sandro Mamukelashvili (illness) is probable for Friday’s game against the Clippers.

Mamukelashvili was held out of Wednesday’s win over the Pacers, leading the Raptors to go small whenever Collin Murray-Boyles wasn’t on the floor. Mamu’s likely return may result in fewer minutes for A.J. Lawson, who logged 17 on Wednesday.

Jamison Battle

TOR Forward #77
Jamison Battle (ankle) is out for Friday’s game against the Clippers.

Injured during Wednesday’s win over the Pacers, Battle was initially doubtful for Friday night. His absence will result in more minutes for Gradey Dick, who recorded 21 points and 11 rebounds on Wednesday. That said, this does not make Gradey a player worth streaming in most leagues.
