Sam Merrill

CLE Guard #5

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

Merrill has not appeared in a game since November 17, which has freed up additional minutes for Jaylon Tyson and De’Andre Hunter. That will remain the case on Sunday, with Tyson offering a slightly higher fantasy ceiling for managers competing in category leagues.

Joel Embiid

PHI Center-Forward #21

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players
Joel Embiid (illness) is doubtful to play against the Mavericks on Saturday.

Embiid is expected to miss a second straight game due to this illness. Andre Drummond should start again after recording a double-double with three triples on Friday. Drummond has been an elite streaming option whenever Embiid is out this year, and that should continue in this game.

Bilal Coulibaly

WAS Guard #0
Bilal Coulibaly (ankle) has been ruled out against the Grizzlies on Saturday.

Coulibaly wasn’t on the initial injury report but is now dealing with an ankle sprain. He returned from a four-game absence with an oblique injury in Washington’s last game and started. Khris Middleton is available for this game and will likely fill Coulibaly’s starting spot.

Paul George

PHI Forward #8
Paul George (knee) has been ruled out against the Mavericks on Saturday.

George was held to a season-low seven points in Friday’s win over the Knicks, and he’ll sit out the second leg of the back-to-back. Quentin Grimes started during George’s most recent absence and could get the nod in this one, though he’ll at least see a bump in minutes.

Pat Connaughton

CHA Guard #21
Pat Connaughton (calf) is available to play against the Pistons on Saturday.

After missing almost a month, Connaughton will be available to suit up off the bench for Charlotte. The veteran wing has played a minimal role this season. Tidjane Salaun and Josh Green may lose a couple minutes with Connaughton back, but that isn’t guaranteed and won’t impact fantasy basketball regardless.

Tre Mann

CHA Guard #23

Tre Mann (knee) is available to play against the Pistons on Saturday.

After missing seven games with a right knee bone bruise, Mann will be back in the lineup. With Collin Sexton (quad) out, Mann will split the backup point guard minutes with KJ Simpson, which won’t yield much box score production for either guard with LaMelo Ball healthy.

Collin Sexton

CHA Guard #8
Collin Sexton (quad) has been ruled out against the Pistons on Saturday.

This will be a sixth consecutive absence for Sexton, which doesn’t come as a surprise after his initial doubtful tag. KJ Simpson and Tre Mann, who is returning from a seven-game absence, will occupy the backup point guard minutes.

Lauri Markkanen

UTA Forward-Center #23
Lauri Markkanen (groin) has been ruled out against the Magic on Saturday.

Markkanen was initially doubtful for this game and has now been downgraded to out. This will be a second straight absence for Markkanen, which means Kyle Filipowski will start once again, even with Jusuf Nurkic back.

Jaylen Brown

BOS Guard-Forward #7
Jaylen Brown (illness) is doubtful to play against the Raptors on Saturday.

After dropping 30 points in Friday’s win over the Heat, Brown is expected to miss the second leg of Boston’s back-to-back. During his previous absence, Sam Hauser moved into the starting lineup, though Josh Minott and Baylor Scheierman also saw a bump in minutes off the bench.

Jakob Poeltl

TOR Center #19
Jakob Poeltl (back) has been downgraded to doubtful to play against the Celtics on Saturday.

Poeltl was initially listed as questionable for this game but is now on track to miss it. This is expected to be a second straight absence for him, which will likely lead to another start for Sandro Mamukelashvili, who scored 18 points as a starter in Toronto’s last game.

Jonathan Kuminga

GSW Forward #1

Jonathan Kuminga (illness) is questionable to play against the Suns on Saturday.

Kuminga didn’t make the initial injury report, but there is now a chance he isn’t available to suit up. He had been out of the rotation for a few games, but Steve Kerr played him about 10 minutes in the Warriors’ last outing. In other words, Kuminga’s status won’t impact Golden State’s rotation.
