Rotoworld

KJ Simpson

CHA Point Guard #25

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

KJ Simpson produced 18 points (6-of-13 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs), one rebound, seven assists, one steal and two three-pointers in Monday’s win over the Mavericks.

Simpson cleaned some things up after shooting poorly in Saturday’s win over the 76ers. In addition to improving his shooting, the point guard committed just one turnover on the evening. Due to Charlotte’s depth at the point, Simpson’s chances of entering next season as a fantasy-relevant player are slim. However, due mainly to LaMelo Ball’s injury history, there may be opportunities throughout the season for Simpson to step into a larger role.

Zaccharie Risacher

ATL Forward #10

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players
Zaccharie Risacher (knee) is questionable for Saturday’s game against the Pacers.

Risacher has missed the last three weeks with a knee injury. The 20-year-old small forward has a chance to return Saturday given his questionable listing. If he remains out, Corey Kispert and Vit Krejčí will continue to see extra minutes, though neither are worth rostering in most fantasy leagues.

Jalen Johnson

ATL Forward #1
Jalen Johnson (calf) is questionable for Saturday’s game against the Pacers.

Johnson missed Thursday’s game against the Rockets with left calf tightness. He’s once again listed as questionable for the same injury Saturday against the Pacers. Corey Kispert moved into the starting lineup for Thursday’s game and had 17 points. He could start again if Johnson remains out, but isn’t worth rostering in most fantasy leagues.

Jeremy Sochan

SAS Forward #10

Jeremy Sochan (quad) has been ruled out against the Hornets on Saturday.

Sochan will miss a second straight game, but that won’t have much if an impact on San Antonio’s rotation. He hasn’t seen the floor much when healthy, and Devin Vassell is now healthy. Sochan could make a fantasy impact for a different team if he is traded at the deadline, but he isn’t worth rostering as a Spur.

Davion Mitchell

MIA Guard #45
Davion Mitchell (shoulder) is doubtful to play against the Bulls on Saturday.

Mitchell has missed the last five games for Miami and is now expected to make it six absences in a row. Kasparas Jakučionis should continue to start, but his minutes have been too low to make much of an impact as a streaming option. Dru Smith should play more minutes, but his value is often tied to steals.

Norman Powell

MIA Guard #24
Norman Powell (personal) has been ruled out against the Bulls on Saturday.

Powell has been a big part of what Miami does on offense, especially with Tyler Herro sidelined. In his absence, one of Simone Fontecchio or Jaime Jaquez Jr. will likely replace him in the starting unit. Jaquez holds far more upside for fantasy managers whether he starts or comes off the bench.

Caris LeVert

DET Guard #8

Caris LeVert (illness) is out for Friday’s game against the Warriors.

LeVert is set to miss his sixth game in a row with an illness. Ron Holland II and Daniss Jenkins will continue to see rotation minutes off the bench in LeVert’s absence, though the pair combined for just six points in Thursday’s loss against the Suns.

Cade Cunningham

DET Guard #2

Cade Cunningham (hip) is probable to play against the Warriors on Friday.

Cunningham scored 26 points in Thursday’s loss to the Suns, and he should be able to suit up once again despite managing some soreness in his hip. He has scored at least 20 points in three straight games and will look to keep that going against Golden State in the final game of this three-game road trip.

Coby White

CHI Guard #0
Coby White (calf) is questionable to play against the Heat on Saturday.

White continues to manage this calf injury, but he has been available for the past two weeks. If something changes this weekend, with Chicago playing in Miami on both Saturday and Sunday, Kevin Huerter and Ayo Dosunmu would take on extra minutes.

Nikola Vučević

CHI Center #9
Nikola Vučević (rest) is doubtful for Saturday’s game against the Heat.

Saturday’s game is the first of two in as many nights that the Bulls will play in Miami, so they’re unlikely to have Vooch for one of them. Rookie Lachlan Olbrich, who has spent most of his time in the G League, is not on the injury report, so he should be available to play rotation minutes. However, he is not worth the streaming risk. The best-case scenario for the Bulls is that Jalen Smith (calf) will be available after leaving Thursday’s loss to the Heat in the second quarter.

Jalen Smith

CHI Forward-Center #25

Jalen Smith (calf) is questionable for Saturday’s game against the Heat.

Smith started Thursday’s loss to the Heat for the injured Josh Giddey, but he was forced to leave before halftime due to tightness in his right calf. If Smith and Giddey remain out on Saturday, Ayo Dosunmu is the player most likely to fill the void. He would be worth streaming in that role.
