Edwards had another subpar shooting night, but he was able to contribute a well-rounded stat line in Philly’s loss. Edwards is looking to build off of a productive rookie year, and the 76ers will be looking for him to dominate in Summer League. There’s plenty of room for improvement, but it has been a decent start for him.

Green joins Steph Curry (knee) on the injury report, and the pair of veteran teammates may get the night off for Monday’s game, as it’s the Warriors’ second contest in as many days. If Green is ruled out, Will Richard could be in line for additional minutes, but there’s no clear fantasy beneficiary to note.

Curry was questionable for Sunday’s matchup with Minnesota, but he finished with 26/2/7/4 in the win. He may get a maintenance day for the second leg of the Warriors’ back-to-back set, which would open the door for Brandin Podziemski and De’Anthony Melton to see bumps in production and usage.

LaRavia will shed his questionable tag and play through his left quad contusion. He should remain in the starting lineup, with Rui Hachimura supporting him off the bench and picking up additional minutes if LaRavia is limited.

Sexton has done most of his damage off the bench this season, and if he’s not in the starting lineup, his availability doesn’t have a major impact in the realm of fantasy hoops.

Mathurin will play his first game since January 2, but he’ll come off the bench. Fantasy managers should keep an eye on his playing time against the Hawks, as he may be on a minutes restriction after nearly a month on the sidelines.

Risacher is nearing a return after nearly three weeks on the shelf, but until he’s back, Corey Kispert and Vit Krejčí should see increased run. Despite the bump in playing time, neither Kispert nor Krejčí are worth a look outside of deep fantasy leagues.

Porziņǵis is participating in basketball activity, but he’s still at least a week away from returning to the court. Onyeka Okongwu has been soaking up minutes in KP’s absence, and he’s been a strong producer for fantasy managers. Mouhamed Gueye has earned some additional backup minutes, but he’s only worth a look in deep leagues.

According to Nehm, Rivers said, “He did a very good job. MRI has revealed exactly what we thought. There’s no timetable. Calf strain and really no timetable for return. Hopefully, like it was before, sooner (than later), but there’s no timetable.” That’s certainly a divergence from Giannis’ initial four-to-six-week estimate. Until Antetokounmpo returns, Bobby Portis and Kyle Kuzma will share duties at PF.

Since Nic Claxton (six points, six rebounds, one assist, two steals and one blocked shot) was available, Sharpe was consigned to the bench on Sunday. However, he still posted a solid stat line, including a career-high four steals — his third time reaching this mark. While Sharpe’s fantasy ceiling right now depends on Claxton’s availability, he has the look of a player who could be a standout during the “silly season.” The Nets play four games in Week 15, including a midweek back-to-back, so now is a good time for deep-league managers to kick the tires on Sharpe.

Wolf didn’t have a good night shooting the basketball, but the rookie did record a complete stat line in his 26 minutes. Rostered in two percent of Yahoo! leagues, the 7-footer is ranked just inside the top-200 in eight-cat formats over the past two weeks. Wolf will have every opportunity to contribute during the second half of the season, so he should be a solid option for the “silly season.” As for right now, the percentages and overall production are too low to trust him in most fantasy leagues.
