Mason Jones

SAC Shooting Guard #8

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Mason Jones accounted for 11 points (4-of-8 FGs, 1-of-1 FTs), six rebounds, five assists, one steal, one blocked shot, and two 3-pointers in 28 minutes in Sunday’s 85-61 win over the Spurs.

Jones has played well in both of Sacramento’s games to open the summer, good timing for a player currently on a two-way contract. The news that Devin Carter will have to undergo shoulder surgery may crack the door open for Jones, especially with it unknown if the rookie will be healthy at the start of training camp. Jones isn’t a player who fantasy managers should consider selecting in most league drafts, but there may be times during the season when he’s allowed to show what he can do.

Miles McBride

NYK Guard #2

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players
SNY’s Ian Begley reports that Miles McBride (ankle) will be re-evaluated in one week.

McBride has been sidelined since December 7th, and it now appears he will be out at least a week longer. Even though he is no longer starting, McBride is a key part of the Knicks’ rotation and has made clear gains as a scorer this season. In his absence, Jordan Clarkson will continue to be relied on for bench scoring, and Tyler Kolek will see an uptick in minutes.

Al Horford

GSW Center-Forward #20

Al Horford (sciatica) has been ruled out for Friday’s game against the Timberwolves.

Horford will have missed three games as he deals with his sciatica. The Warriors could get both Stephen Curry and Draymond Green (foot) back for that game, which would likely mean fewer minutes for guys like Pat Spencer and Quinten Post. It remains to be seen when Horford will be able to return to the court.

Stephen Curry

GSW Guard #30
Warriors head coach Steve Kerr said it’s “looking good” for Stephen Curry to return on Friday against the Timberwolves.

Curry has missed the last five games with a left quad contusion/strain. In that time, Brandin Podziemski has averaged about 26 minutes per game and been a borderline top-100 player in fantasy leagues, and Pat Spencer has gotten a chance to become one of the better stories in the NBA, playing over 26 minutes per game over his last three and averaging 15.7 points, 5.7 assists, and 4.3 rebounds. Curry’s potential return could dampen the run that Spencer has been on.

Jeremiah Robinson-Earl

FA Forward #25

Pacers waived Jeremiah Robinson-Earl.

The 25-year-old was signed to a standard deal back on November 20th and will now be released to make room on the roster for Garrison Mathews. Robinson-Earl was playing just 14 minutes per game over the last two weeks and had not entered either of the last two games.

Garrison Mathews

IND Guard #24

Pacers signed Garrison Mathews to a standard contract.

Mathews had been on a 10-day contract, but he will now join the Pacers on a standard NBA deal. The 29-year-old has seen his playing time increase of late, averaging almost 18 minutes per game over his last six games. He’s scoring 7.2 points per game with 1.0 rebounds and 0.7 assists, so he remains firmly off the fantasy radar.

Victor Wembanyama

SAS Forward-Center #1

Spurs coach Mitch Johnson told reporters Victor Wembanyama (calf) could return for Saturday’s game against the Thunder.

When asked if Wembanyama could return against the Thunder Saturday, Johnson said, “Very much so.” He added that Wembanyama had a very intense workout Wednesday and his availability will depend on how he responds. Even if the 21-year-old center isn’t able to make it back on the floor this weekend, his return doesn’t seem far off, which is great news for fantasy managers.

Luka Dončić

LAL Forward-Guard #77

Luka Dončić had 35 points (11-of-24 FGs, 10-of-15 FTs), five rebounds, eight assists, one steal and three three-pointers against the Spurs on Wednesday.

Dončić had another excellent game, his second since missing two games to be present for the birth of his second child. The 26-year-old point guard dropped 35 points against the Spurs after recording his second triple-double of the season against the 76ers on Sunday. He’s been an elite fantasy option in recent weeks.

LeBron James

LAL Forward #23

LeBron James had 19 points (7-of-14 FGs, 5-of-6 FTs), 15 rebounds, eight assists and three blocks against the Spurs on Wednesday.

James, coming off a 29-point performance in a win over the 76ers on Sunday, was just as good but in different ways against the Spurs Wednesday. The 40-year-old was just two assists shy of a triple-double with 19 points, 15 rebounds and eight assists. After an eight-point performance against the Raptors last Thursday, LeBron turned back the clock as we’ve seen him do countless times over the course of his career.

Julian Champagnie

SAS Forward #30

Julian Champagnie had 16 points (6-of-8 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), seven rebounds, two assists, one block, one steal and two three-pointers against the Lakers on Wednesday.

Champagnie has played 29 minutes in each of the last two games since Stephon Castle returned from a hip injury. The 24-year-old small forward had played at least 35 minutes in three of the last five games before Castle returned. Castle played 27 minutes Wednesday, which will only increase with time and potentially cut into Champagnie’s minutes even more. He’s still worth holding in deeper formats for now, though.

De'Aaron Fox

SAS Guard #4

De’Aaron Fox had 20 points (8-of-17 FGs), four rebounds, three assists, two steals, four three-pointers against the Lakers on Wednesday.

Fox led the Spurs with a +21 in 31 minutes in the 132-119 victory over the Lakers on Wednesday. Stephon Castle, who returned from a hip injury Monday, played 27 minutes while Dylan Harper played 20 minutes off the bench. Castle’s minutes should only increase, meaning less of the offense will ultimately run through Fox, whose scoring is crucial with Victor Wembanyama (calf) still sidelined.
