Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Blake Griffin announced his retirement from the NBA after 14 seasons on Tuesday.

The Clippers’ first overall pick in the 2009 NBA Draft, Griffin announced on Tuesday morning that he was hanging up his sneakers as a professional. After sitting out what should have been his rookie season with a knee injury, Griffin won Rookie of the Year honors in 2011 and earned five All-NBA and six All-Star selections during his career. In addition to the Clippers, he played for the Pistons, Nets, and Celtics, most recently appearing in 41 games for Boston during the 2022-23 season.

The Nets are down three starters for their first game of 2026, with Egor Dëmin, Terance Mann and Michael Porter Jr. out due to injury. Powell, Williams and Wolf move into the starting lineup, with the latter offering the highest streaming ceiling of the three.

Alperen Sengun

HOU Center #28
Alperen Sengun is available to play on Thursday against the Nets.

Despite originally being questionable for Thursday’s game, Sengun will begin the new year in the Rockets’ lineup. His return from a two-game absence will move Steven Adams back to the bench. Sengun is averaging 22.7/9.4/6.8 splits this season and has been one of the better centers from a fantasy basketball perspective. He’ll join Kevin Durant, Tari Eason, Amen Thompson and Jabari Smith Jr. in the starting lineup.

Derik Queen

NOP Center #22
Derik Queen (quad) is questionable for Friday’s game against the Trail Blazers.

Queen, who moved into the Pelicans’ starting lineup in mid-November and has not left, has been diagnosed with a left quad contusion. If he’s able to play on Friday, there will be more minutes available to Yves Missi and Kevon Looney.

Herbert Jones

NOP Forward #2
Herb Jones (ankle) is questionable for Friday’s game against the Trail Blazers.

Jones has missed the Pelicans’ last five games with a sprained ankle. Saddiq Bey is the player whose value may take the most significant hit if Jones can play. Bey remained in the starting lineup after Zion Williamson’s return, but he may be pushed to the bench if Jones is cleared.

Saddiq Bey

NOP Guard-Forward #41
Saddiq Bey (hip) is questionable for Friday’s game against the Trail Blazers.

Bey, a fixture in the Pelicans’ starting lineup since late November, is dealing with a sore right hip. Bryce McGowens, who has been inactive for the last two games, could be activated if Bey doesn’t play. He would not be a must-stream player in that spot.

Sam Merrill

CLE Guard #5

Sam Merrill (ankle) is questionable for Friday’s game against the Nuggets.

Merrill was ultimately cleared to play in Wednesday’s win over the Suns, logging 23 minutes. Look for him to take on a similar workload if he can play against the Nuggets.

De'Andre Hunter

CLE Forward-Guard #12
De’Andre Hunter (illness) is questionable for Friday’s game against the Nuggets.

Hunter did not play in Wednesday’s win over the Suns, resulting in more minutes for Craig Porter Jr. and Nae’Qwan Tomlin. While neither player will be worth streaming, they should pick up additional minutes if Hunter remains out on Friday.

Victor Wembanyama

SAS Forward-Center #1
Victor Wembanyama (knee) is out for Friday’s game against the Pacers.

Wembanyama left Wednesday’s win over the Knicks during the second half with a left knee hyperextension. While there was no structural damage, the Spurs’ center did not travel for Friday’s game. Luke Kornet was Wembanyama’s replacement in the past, with Kelly Olynyk picking up rotation minutes off the bench. That should remain the case against the Pacers.

Trae Young

ATL Guard #11
Trae Young (quad) is questionable for Friday’s game against the Knicks.

Young has missed Atlanta’s last two games, with Nickeil Alexander-Walker filling the resulting void in the starting lineup. NAW, who has standard-league value when Young plays, should be rostered regardless of what happens with Atlanta’s starting point guard.

Josh Hart

NYK Guard #3
Josh Hart (ankle) is out for Friday’s game against the Hawks.

Due to the sprained ankle he suffered during the Knicks’ Christmas Day victory over the Cavaliers, Hart did not travel for the Knicks’ three-game road trip. Friday’s game will be the fourth that he’s missed, with Mohamed Diawara likely remaining in the starting lineup. While Diawara went off for 18 points in Monday’s win over New Orleans, he did not offer much value two nights later against the Spurs.
