Mike Brown

NBA Head Coach

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players
ESPN’s Shams Charania reports Mike Brown will have a second meeting with the Knicks and has emerged as a “strong candidate” for their head coaching vacancy.

Brown is the first candidate to have a second interview scheduled with the Knicks as New York’s exhaustive search for a new coach approaches a conclusion. The 55-year-old Brown last coached the Sacramento Kings, but was fired in his third season with the club after a 13-18 start to the season that included a five-game losing streak. He also previously coached the Cavaliers and the Lakers. The Knicks are still the only NBA team without a head coach.

CLE Forward-Center #32

Dean Wade (knee) will not return to Tuesday’s game against the Pacers.

Wade, who was back in the lineup after missing two games with a left knee contusion, exited Tuesday’s game during the first half due to the same injury. Jaylon Tyson replaced Wade in the lineup to begin the third quarter. In eight minutes, Wade recorded three points (1-of-2 FGs), one rebound and one three-pointer.

Gary Payton

GSW Guard #0

Gary Payton II (ankle) is questionable for Wednesday’s game against the Bucks.

Payton is coming off one of his best performances of the season, scoring 14 points in 15 minutes in Monday’s loss to the Clippers. He’s also dealing with a sprained left ankle and is questionable for Tuesday’s game. With Draymond Green (ankle) also questionable, the Warriors could be forced to play without their top two defenders. Payton’s availability does not affect fantasy basketball, but it does limit the number of players the Warriors can throw at Giannis Antetokounmpo.

Draymond Green

GSW Forward #23
Draymond Green (ankle) is questionable for Wednesday’s game against the Bucks.

Green sprained his left ankle during Monday’s loss to the Clippers but was able to remain in the game. If he’s unable to play against the Bucks, that would leave a massive hole in the Warriors’ rotation, especially defensively. Will Richard, Gui Santos and Trayce Jackson-Davis are three players whose minutes could increase if Draymond sits

Cade Cunningham

DET Guard #2
Cade Cunningham (wrist) is probable for Wednesday’s game against the Bulls.

Cunningham, who did about whatever he wanted in Monday’s win over the Knicks, is dealing with a right wrist contusion. The good news is that he’s considered probable, so fantasy managers should assume that Cade will play. If he doesn’t play, Daniss Jenkins and Marcus Sasser will figure more prominently in the Pistons’ rotation.

Herbert Jones

NOP Forward #2
Jeremiah Fears, Trey Murphy, Herb Jones, Zion Williamson and Derik Queen will start Tuesday’s game against the Spurs.

Appearing in his first game since December 22, Jones will be in the starting lineup. His return means that Karlo Matković heads to the bench, eliminating what little streaming value he possessed as a starter.

Gregory Jackson

MEM Small Forward #45
Cam Spencer, Jaylen Wells, GG Jackson, Jaren Jackson Jr. and Jock Landale will start Tuesday’s game against the Spurs.

The Grizzlies are down two starters for Tuesday’s game, as Ja Morant (calf) and Cedric Coward (ankle) are out. Spencer will make a second consecutive start at point guard, with Vince Williams Jr. coming off the bench in his first game back from a knee injury. The other change is GG Jackson, who steps in for Coward. Capable of getting hot offensively, Jackson is worth watching in deeper leagues.

Kris Murray

POR Forward #24

Kris Murray (back) is doubtful for Wednesday’s game against the Rockets.

Murray, who has been Jerami Grant’s replacement in the starting lineup when available, appears to be on track to miss Wednesday’s game. If he sits, Sidy Cissoko will likely be the next man up. Cissoko is not a must-stream player.

Jerami Grant

POR Forward #9
Jerami Grant (Achilles) is out for Wednesday’s game against the Rockets.

Wednesday’s game will be the 11th that Grant has missed. With Kris Murray listed as doubtful, Sidy Cissoko may be moved into the starting lineup. While a solid defender, Cissoko’s limited offensive ceiling makes him challenging to rely on as a streamer.

Jrue Holiday

POR Guard #5
Jrue Holiday (calf) is out for Wednesday’s game against the Rockets.

While Holiday was cleared to resume on-court activities on New Year’s Day, he still is not ready to return to game action. Deni Avdija has filled in as Portland’s primary playmaker and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future. And that may be his role after Holiday returns; Deni has been that productive for the Trail Blazers.

Vince Williams

MEM Guard #5

Vince Williams Jr. (knee) is available for Tuesday’s game against the Spurs.

Williams is back after missing Memphis’ last eight games. With Ja Morant (calf) out, there’s a chance that he starts against San Antonio. If Williams is used in a reserve role, Cam Spencer will get a second consecutive start.
