Rotoworld

T.J. McConnell

IND Guard #9

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

T.J. McConnell (hamstring) is out for Saturday’s game against the Heat.

McConnell is out with right hamstring soreness after scoring 13 points in 14 minutes in Friday’s loss to the Celtics. The 33-year-old backup point guard only played in one game of a back-to-back earlier this week and he’ll do the same here. He’s not playing enough minutes to be rostered in most fantasy leagues this year.

Mitchell Robinson

NYK Center-Forward #23

Mitchell Robinson (ankle) is out for Friday’s game against the Hawks.

Robinson will miss a third straight game due to left ankle injury management. His absence means rotation minutes for Ariel Hukporti. How much the second-year center plays will depend on Karl-Anthony Towns (illness), who is a game-time decision.

D'Angelo Russell

DAL Guard #5

D’Angelo Russell (illness) is not on the injury report for Saturday’s game against the Rockets.

Russell is off the injury report after missing Thursday’s loss to the 76ers. However, with Ryan Nembhard and Brandon Williams also available, there isn’t much to gain from rostering D’Lo.

Tristan Vukcevic

WAS Forward #00

Tristan Vukčević (illness) is out for Friday’s game against the Nets.

Vukčević was initially questionable for Friday’s game. His absence does not affect fantasy basketball or the Wizards’ rotation, as Alex Sarr and Marvin Bagley are available.

Steven Adams

HOU Center #12

Steven Adams (ankle) is questionable for Saturday’s game against the Mavericks.

Adams was held out of Thursday’s win over the Nets, and he may miss another game on Saturday. If so, Clint Capela would assume the backup center responsibilities.

Clint Capela

HOU Center #30

Clint Capela (illness) is not on the injury report for Saturday’s game against the Mavericks.

Capela did not play in Thursday’s win over the Nets, leaving Houston with only Alperen Şengün available at the center position. If Steven Adams remains out, Capela will likely slot in as the backup, but that is not enough to make him a viable fantasy option.

Kelly Oubre

PHI Forward-Guard #9
Kelly Oubre (knee) is out for Saturday’s game against the Knicks.

Oubre has not appeared in a game since November 14, and it’s unknown when he’ll be able to return. The 76ers will continue to rely on Quentin Grimes for wing production off the bench, and he’s worth rostering in deep leagues. Also, Dominick Barlow will remain in the starting lineup.

Joel Embiid

PHI Center-Forward #21
Joel Embiid (knee) is probable for Saturday’s game against the Knicks.

With the probable tag, Embiid is on track to be available for Saturday’s game after missing the first meeting between the 76ers and Knicks. Andre Drummond will remain the backup, with Adem Bona likely getting some run off the bench as well.

Jaylen Wells

MEM Forward #0

Jaylen Wells (hamstring) is now probable for Friday’s game against the Lakers.

Wells was initially listed as questionable with a sore left hamstring. Now it looks like the 22-year-old small forward will play Friday against the Lakers as he’s been upgraded to probable. Wells ranks outside the top-200 players in fantasy this season.

Trey Murphy

NOP Forward #25
Mark Haynes of the Sacramento Observer reports that Trey Murphy (back) will not play in Friday’s game against the Kings.

Add Murphy to the list of Pelicans starters who will not be available for Friday’s game. His absence should result in more opportunities for Micah Peavy and Jordan Hawkins, but fantasy managers should not feel obligated to stream either. On a 10-game night, there are likely to be safer streaming options on the waiver wire.

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope

MEM Guard #3
Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (hamstring) is probable for Friday’s game against the Lakers.

Caldwell-Pope is on track to return after sitting out Tuesday’s loss to the 76ers. This would likely result in fewer minutes for GG Jackson, who logged 23 against Philadelphia. Neither player has done enough to affect fantasy basketball this season.
