Rotoworld

Moussa Diabaté

CHA Forward #14

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Moussa Diabaté (knee) is out for Sunday’s game against the Nuggets.

Diabaté has been downgraded from questionable to out, which means Ryan Kalkbrenner will retain his place in the starting lineup. Mason Plumlee should play rotation minutes as the backup center, but that is not a good spot to find fantasy value. Leave him on the waiver wire.

Zach Collins

CHI Forward-Center #12

Zach Collins (wrist) is listed as probable on Friday against the Hornets

Collins had offseason wrist surgery and returned to the court for the first time last Friday. In two games, he’s averaged 5.5 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 1.0 assists while playing 20 minutes a game. The Bulls are understandably being cautious with his recovery, but we should expect about 20 minutes from him again on Friday.

Ja Morant

MEM Guard #12
Ja Morant (calf) was a full participant in practice on Thursday and could play on Friday against the Jazz.

Morant has missed 10 games with a calf injury after playing only six minutes on November 15th against the Cavaliers. It now seems like we have a good chance of seeing him back on the court on Friday. In his stead, Vince Williams Jr. has taken over the starting point guard role and had performed well before slowing of late. Cam Spencer has also begun to earn more minutes at Williams’ expense over the last week, but both players should see their minutes and usage take a hit when Morant returns.

Nique Clifford

SAC Guard #5

Mark Haynes of the Sacramento Observer reports that Nique Clifford will start on Thursday against the Nuggets.

Clifford is averaging just under 15 minutes per game over his last five games, but he had 16 points, seven rebounds, and one steal in 32 minutes in the G-League on Tuesday and will now be back up with the Kings and in the starting lineup. We wouldn’t go ahead and run to add him yet, but it does make sense for the Kings to give their rookie more playing time in what’s looking to be a lost season.

Taurean Prince

MIL Forward #12

Bucks forward Taurean Price said there is no timeline on his rehab after he underwent herniated disk neck surgery in November.

Prince spoke to reporters on Thursday for the first time since surgery. He admitted that “the only way to hoop again was to get the surgery.” He said he is “100 percent” certain that he’s going to play again, but there is no timeline for his return. At this point, Prince is just thankful that he’s “still here to speak and be able to have an opportunity to hoop again.”

Tre Jones

CHI Guard #30

Tre Jones (ankle) said he expects to play on Friday against the Hornets.

Jones practiced fully on Thursday for the second straight day and is now expected to suit up on Friday. He has missed three games, and the Bulls can certainly use him with both Ayo Dosunmu (thumb) and Kevin Huerter (hamstring) still out.

Kevin Huerter

CHI Guard-Forward #13

Kevin Huerter (hamstring) remains out on Friday against the Hornets.

Huerter was injured on December 1st and was to be re-evaluated after one week. Still, after that evaluation, he will not travel with the team to Charlotte and will miss yet another game. There is no more information on when he might return.

Ayo Dosunmu

CHI Guard #11
Ayo Dosunmu (thumb) is out for Friday’s game against the Hornets.

Bulls head coach Billy Donovan confirmed that neither Ayo Dosunmu nor Kevin Huerter will travel to Charlotte for Friday’s game. Dosunmu returned to action on Sunday after missing one game with his thumb injury, but then he was unable to practice on Monday and will now miss Friday’s game. It remains to be seen how much longer he will miss. With Tre Jones also out, Jevon Carter has seen an uptick in playing time.

Kelly Oubre

PHI Forward-Guard #9
76ers head coach Nick Nurse confirmed that there has been no live, on-court action for Kelly Oubre Jr. (knee) or Trendon Watford (adductor) so far.

Oubre has been out since November 14th, and the team said last week that he would be re-evaluated this week. It seems that the evaluation didn’t change much in terms of his recovery time. Quentin Grimes will continue to play big minutes and put up top-60 value in fantasy formats.

Miles McBride

NYK Guard #2
SNY’s Ian Begley reports that Miles McBride (ankle) will be re-evaluated in one week.

McBride has been sidelined since December 7th, and it now appears he will be out at least a week longer. Even though he is no longer starting, McBride is a key part of the Knicks’ rotation and has made clear gains as a scorer this season. In his absence, Jordan Clarkson will continue to be relied on for bench scoring, and Tyler Kolek will see an uptick in minutes.

Al Horford

GSW Center-Forward #20

Al Horford (sciatica) has been ruled out for Friday’s game against the Timberwolves.

Horford will have missed three games as he deals with his sciatica. The Warriors could get both Stephen Curry and Draymond Green (foot) back for that game, which would likely mean fewer minutes for guys like Pat Spencer and Quinten Post. It remains to be seen when Horford will be able to return to the court.
