Rotoworld

Deandre Ayton

LAL Center #5

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Deandre Ayton (back) said after Friday’s win over the Grizzlies that he expects to play on Sunday against the Heat.

Ayton experienced back spasms during Friday’s game, which limited him to 17 minutes. Lakers head coach JJ Redick said afterward that the 7-footer could have returned, but the team did not want to risk anything, given the time Ayton (nine points) missed last season. Jaxson Hayes started the second half and finished with two points, seven rebounds, five assists and one blocked shot in 23 minutes. He’ll likely move into the starting lineup if Ayton cannot play on Sunday.

Zach LaVine

SAC Guard #8

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players
Zach LaVine (back) is questionable for Tuesday’s game against the Knicks.

LaVine did not play in Sunday’s loss to the Pistons, resulting in Nique Clifford moving into the starting lineup. The rookie played 33 minutes, finishing with 15 points, three rebounds, one assist, one block and two three-pointers. While not a must-stream player, Clifford will have value during the “silly season” based on where the Kings are in the Western Conference standings.

January 26, 2026 03:08 PM

Giannis Antetokounmpo suffered an injury and announced on his own how long he will be sidelined, and Kenny Beecham explains why it "makes sense" for Giannis and the Milwaukee Bucks to finally part ways.

Sam Merrill

CLE Guard #5
Sam Merrill (personal) is out for Monday’s matchup with the Magic.

Merrill came into the day questionable after missing five straight games with a hand injury, but he’ll ultimately be ruled out due to personal reasons. His absence will mean more playing time for Jaylon Tyson and Dean Wade.

Jock Landale

MEM Center #31
Jock Landale (personal) is out for Monday’s matchup with the Rockets.

Landale was questionable on Friday for personal reasons but ultimately took the court in that game and again on Sunday. He’ll be out for the second leg of Memphis’ back-to-back set, and with Santi Aldama (knee) questionable, the Grizzlies could be thin in the frontcourt. GG Jackson could be in line for a bump in playing time if Aldama is ruled out.

Draymond Green

GSW Forward #23
Draymond Green (back) is questionable for Monday’s matchup with Minnesota.

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.

Stephen Curry

GSW Guard #30
Stephen Curry (knee) is questionable for Monday’s matchup with the Timberwolves.

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.

Jake LaRavia

LAL Forward #12
Jake LaRavia (quad) is available for Monday’s matchup with the Bulls.

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.

Collin Sexton

CHA Guard #8

Collin Sexton (hamstring) is available for Monday’s matchup with the 76ers.

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.

Bennedict Mathurin

IND Guard-Forward #00

According to the Indiana Pacers’ official X.com account, Bennedict Mathurin (thumb) is available for Monday’s matchup with the Hawks.

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.

Zaccharie Risacher

ATL Forward #10
According to the Atlanta Hawks’ official X.com account, Zaccharie Risacher is progressing well in his recovery and is considered day-to-day.

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.

Kristaps Porziņģis

ATL Forward-Center #8
According to the Atlanta Hawks’ official X.com account, Kristaps Porziņǵis (Achilles) will be re-evaluated in one week.

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.
