Rotoworld

Jabari Smith

HOU Power Forward #10

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players
Jabari Smith Jr. has been ejected from Saturday’s game against the Jazz due to a conflict with Kris Dunn.

Dunn may have started the “fight” by tugging on Smith’s jersey, but both players were ejected after they each threw some punches. Houston outscored Utah 47-21 in the first quarter, so Dunn may have been trying to give his team some motivation. Jeff Green, Reggie Bullock and Jae’Sean Tate should all help make up for Smith’s absence.

Immanuel Quickley

TOR Guard #5

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Immanuel Quickley amassed 32 points (11-of-19 FGs, 5-of-5 FTs), three rebounds, nine assists, one steal and five three-pointers in Sunday’s win over the Bucks.

After getting off to a slow start, the Raptors grabbed control of Sunday’s game by outscoring Milwaukee 70-46 over the second and third quarters. During those periods, Quickley shot 8-of-11 from the field and assisted on five other made shots, four being three-pointers. The 32 points equaled his tally in Toronto’s prior two games and were the most for Quickley since dropping 40 on the Warriors on January 20. The Raptors play three games in Week 18, starting with the Thunder on Tuesday.

Jalen Johnson

ATL Forward #1

Jalen Johnson had 26 points (11-of-22 FGs, 4-of-5 FTs), 12 rebounds, four assists and one block in the Hawks’ 115-104 victory over the Nets on Sunday.

The Hawks trailed 104-97 with five minutes left in regulation before leading a furious comeback to win 115-104. Down the stretch, Johnson either scored or had an assist on all but two of the Hawks’ last 18 points. The 24-year-old small forward has provided 15th-overall per game value this season. The Hawks have three games upcoming in Week 18, starting with a matchup against the Wizards on Tuesday.

Rayan Rupert

MEM Guard-Forward #21

ESPN’s Shams Charania reports that the Grizzlies have signed Rayan Rupert to a 10-day contract.

A second-round pick of the Trail Blazers in 2023, Rupert was waived earlier this month due to Portland’s need to free up a standard roster spot for Sidy Cissoko. While the former second-round pick is not a player worth rostering in fantasy leagues, he should have opportunities to prove himself due to Memphis’ roster being depleted due to injuries.

Anthony Gill

WAS Forward #16
Bub Carrington, Tre Johnson, Bilal Coulibaly, Kyshawn George and Anthony Gill will start Sunday’s game against the Hornets.

George is back after missing Friday’s win over the Pacers, and he will step in for Justin Champagnie, who is out with a knee injury. The other change is Gill, with the Charlotte native starting for the injured Tristan Vukčević (hand).

Lindy Waters

SAS Forward #43
Lindy Waters III (knee) is questionable for Monday’s game against the Pistons.

Waters has not appeared in a game since February 1, missing time due to a hyperextended left knee. While his return could mean fewer minutes for Carter Bryant, it will not affect fantasy basketball.

Mason Plumlee

SAS Forward-Center #45

Mason Plumlee (conditioning) is out for Monday’s game against the Pistons.

Plumlee’s continued absence does not affect fantasy basketball, as the Spurs are otherwise healthy in the post.

Justin Champagnie

WAS Guard-Forward #9

Justin Champagnie (knee) is out for Sunday’s game against the Hornets.

Champagnie had to exit Friday’s win over the Pacers with a sore right knee, and he won’t play on Sunday. His absence opens a spot in the Wizards’ starting lineup, which could be filled by Kyshawn George, who is available to play.

Tristan Vukcevic

WAS Forward #00
Tristan Vukčević (hand) is out for Sunday’s game against the Hornets.

Vukčević suffered a right hand contusion during Friday’s win over the Pacers, which limited him to 20 minutes. With Alex Sarr (hamstring) also out, the Wizards will have to rely more on Anthony Gill, and Jamir Watkins’ playing time should increase as well.

Kyshawn George

WAS Forward #18

Kyshawn George (toe) is available for Sunday’s game against the Hornets.

George is available and will return after missing Friday’s win over the Pacers. The 22-year-old forward’s return may be the only change to the Wizards’ starting lineup as Justin Champagnie, who replaced George on Friday, is out with a knee injury.

Max Christie

DAL Guard #00
Max Christie, Naji Marshall, Khris Middleton, P.J. Washington and Daniel Gafford will start Sunday’s game against the Pacers.

Christie is back after missing Friday’s loss to the Timberwolves and will be in the starting lineup. However, it will be Tyus Jones who heads to the bench, likely shifting more playmaking responsibilities onto Naji Marshall. That’s a positive development for those who have him rostered.
