Rotoworld

Daniss Jenkins

DET Guard #24

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players
Cade Cunningham, Daniss Jenkins, Ausar Thompson, Tobias Harris and Jalen Duren will start against the Hawks on Monday.

With Duncan Robinson (ankle) missing a game for the first time this season, Jenkins will return to the starting lineup. Jenkins was elite as a starter in place of Cunningham earlier this year, and while he won’t see the same boost as a fill-in for Robinson, he should still be worth streaming. Duren’s return also pushes Isaiah Stewart back to the bench.

Sam Merrill

CLE Guard #5

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players
Sam Merrill (hand) is out for Friday’s game against the Bulls.

Merrill has not appeared in a game since November 17, and that won’t change on Friday. Jaylon Tyson has taken advantage of the opportunities thrown his way, and the second-year wing is worth rostering in 12-team leagues.

Donovan Mitchell

CLE Guard #45
Donovan Mitchell (illness) is questionable for Friday’s game against the Bulls.

Mitchell put up 32 points in Wednesday’s loss to the Bulls in Chicago. If he’s unable to play in Friday’s rematch, the Cavaliers would have a massive hole to fill in their lineup. De’Andre Hunter could move back into the starting lineup, but his category league value has been limited this season.

Joel Embiid

PHI Center-Forward #21
Joel Embiid (illness) is questionable for Friday’s game against the Knicks.

While Embiid’s landing on the injury report is bad news, the fact that it’s due to an illness and not his knees is a positive. If he’s unable to play on Friday, the resulting vacancy in the starting lineup will be filled by Andre Drummond.

Tyrese Maxey

PHI Guard #0
Tyrese Maxey (illness) is not on the injury report for Friday’s game against the Knicks.

After a two-game absence, Maxey is off the injury report and will play on Friday. His return means that Quentin Grimes will head back to the bench, where his fantasy ceiling is lowered. However, Grimes is still worth holding onto in deep leagues.

Mitchell Robinson

NYK Center-Forward #23
Mitchell Robinson (ankle) is out for Thursday’s game against the Pacers.

Robinson is out with left ankle injury management. The Knicks are also without Karl-Anthony Towns (knee), leaving plenty of minutes available for Ariel Hukporti and Guerschon Yabusele at the center position.

Anthony Edwards

MIN Guard #5
Anthony Edwards (foot) is questionable for Friday’s game against the Thunder.

Edwards has missed Minnesota’s last three games, with Bones Hyland replacing him in the lineup. Hyland is worth streaming when allowed to start, especially with Mike Conley (Achilles) already ruled out.

OG Anunoby

NYK Forward-Guard #8
OG Anunoby (knee) is available for Thursday’s game against the Pacers.

Anunoby is good to go after initially being questionable for Thursday’s game. With the Knicks hosting the 76ers on Friday, OG’s minutes may be trimmed coming off of Tuesday’s NBA Cup final victory over the Spurs. Mohamed Diawara and Pacôme Dadiet may play rotation minutes on Wednesday, but neither should be streamed.

Karl-Anthony Towns

NYK Center-Forward #32
Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) is out for Thursday’s game against the Pacers.

After winning the NBA Cup on Tuesday, the Knicks are taking it easy against the Pacers. With Towns and Mitchell Robinson ruled out, the Knicks could be relying on Ariel Hukporti and Guerschon Yabusele to fill the center minutes. Yabusele has been a useful fantasy streamer in the past under similar circumstances.

Josh Hart

NYK Guard #3
Josh Hart (abdominal) is out for Thursday’s game against the Pacers.

Hart is one of three Knicks rotation players who will sit out the first game of the team’s back-to-back, with Karl-Anthony Towns and Mitchell Robinson being the others. Due to the absences in the frontcourt, there should be rotation minutes available to Guerschon Yabusele and Ariel Hukporti. Also, guard Jordan Clarkson could be moved into the starting lineup out of necessity.

Mike Conley

MIN Guard #10
Mike Conley (Achilles) is out for Friday’s game against the Thunder.

Friday’s game will be the fourth that Conley has missed due to right Achilles tendinopathy. While Rob Dillingham has picked up a few minutes in the veteran point guard’s absence, he is not worth streaming in redraft leagues.
