Rotoworld

  • NOP Power Forward #1
    Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players
    Zion Williamson struggled again on Wednesday and finished with just 12 points (5-of-20 FGs, 2-of-7 FTs), 12 rebounds, four assists and one block against the Warriors.
    Field goal percentage has been one of Williamson’s strongest categories throughout his career, but it has been a weakness for him early on this season. He has shot below 30% in three of his four appearances this year, though it seemed like he was going to get back on track after scoring 31 on 60% shooting on Tuesday. The double-double was helpful to retain some value, but there’s no denying that Zion has been one of the most disappointing players in fantasy basketball this season. He’ll look to get back on track against the Pacers on Friday before they play a back-to-back on Sunday and Monday.
  • BOS Center #42

    Al Horford (left big toe sprain) is listed as questionable for Tuesday’s game against Atlanta.
  • BOS Small Forward #0
    Jayson Tatum (left ankle sprain) is listed as questionable for Tuesday’s game against the Hawks.
  • OKC Small Forward #34
    Kenrich Williams (knee) is off the injury report ahead of Monday’s matchup with the Clippers.
    Kenny Hustle has yet to play in 2024-25 while recovering from knee surgery, but he’s poised to make his season debut Monday. With Chet Holmgren (hip) now out 8-10 weeks and no other options at center, Williams could see substantial minutes right out of the gate.
  • HOU Point Guard #5
    Fred VanVleet is out for Monday’s matchup with the Wizards due to left hamstring soreness.
    VanVleet will miss his first game of the season, though the severity of his injury is unclear. Houston played Sunday, and VanVleet logged 37 minutes, so this could be a precautionary move on the second leg of a back-to-back set. FVV joins Steven Adams (questionable, knee) and Jock Landale (out, shoulder) on the injury report. Amen Thompson and Reed Sheppard will be the likely beneficiaries of VanVleet’s absence.
  • WAS Power Forward #33
    Kyle Kuzma (right groin) is off the injury report ahead of Monday’s matchup with the Rockets, while Bub Carrington (right knee) and Richaun Holmes (illness) are questionable.
    Kuz will return from an extended absence and likely reclaim his starting job from Kyshawn George. Carrington’s late addition to the injury report means he should be a GTD for this one, and Holmes’ availability won’t have much of an impact in the world of fantasy hoops.
  • NOP Small Forward #25
    Trey Murphy III (right hamstring strain) will make his season debut against the Nets on Monday.
    Murphy III may face a minutes restriction in his first game back, but with mounting injuries in New Orleans, the Pelicans may not be able to afford the luxury of easing him back into action. Fantasy managers should pay close attention to his playing time and usage against Brooklyn.
  • SAC Shooting Guard #0
    Malik Monk (right ankle injury) will not play Monday against the Spurs, according to NBA reporter Chris B. Haynes.
    Monk picked up the injury early in Sunday’s win over the Suns, and he logged only seven minutes. Keon Ellis played 28 minutes off the bench, and he should be the biggest beneficiary of Monk’s absence.
  • DET Small Forward #9
    According to ESPN’s Shams Charania, Ausar Thompson has been cleared by the NBA’s fitness-to-play panel.
    Thompson has been sidelined since March while dealing with blood clots, but he’ll be available to start ramping up in anticipation of a return in the near future. Thompson’s eventual return could mean fewer minutes for the likes of Tim Hardaway Jr., Malik Beasley and Simone Fontecchio, though it’s likely Thompson is eased back into action after such a long layoff.
  • OKC Power Forward #7
    ESPN’s Shams Charania reports that Chet Holmgren sustain a right iliac hip fracture, and a “return to play protocol will be provided in 8-10 weeks.”
    The Thunder were already down Isaiah Hartenstein and Jaylin Williams, and Holmgren’s injury leaves the frontcourt without a true center. More minutes should be available for the likes of Isaiah Joe, Cason Wallace and Ousmane Dieng, though it’s unclear how OKC’s rotations will look with no clear solution at the five.
    Kevin Durant, Anthony Davis, and Chet Holmgren joined the injury list over the week, leaving significant holes in their teams’ rotations and fantasy lineups.
  • MEM Small Forward #3
    Jake LaRavia racked up 18 points (6-of-9 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs), four rebounds, two assists, three steals, three blocks, and two three-pointers in Sunday’s Trail Blazers-Grizzlies games.
    LaRavia’s scoring numbers have been up and down but he’s been especially active as a rebounder, passer, and defender as of late. He’s posted at least five rebounds, five assists, and a steal in three of his previous four contests but will slip back to irrelevance once more veteran forwards are healthy again.
