Rotoworld

Derik Queen

NOP Center #22

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players
Derik Queen (quad) is available for Sunday’s game against the Heat.

Queen did not play in Friday’s loss to the Trail Blazers, resulting in Yves Missi moving into the starting lineup. Also, Kevon Looney and Karlo Matković each surpassed 20 minutes off the bench. All three will see their minutes decrease with Queen in the fold, and there’s no need to stream any of them in most leagues.

Luke Kennard

ATL Guard #4

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Luke Kennard (neck) is available to play on Thursday against the Trail Blazers.

Kennard was upgraded from probable to available after a neck injury kept him sidelined for the Hawks’ most recent game against the Lakers. The veteran guard has remained a knockdown shooter in his ninth NBA season. He’ll take the floor on the heels of arguably his most productive game of the season, when he scored 22 points and drained six three-pointers in a win over the Warriors.

Mouhamed Gueye

ATL Forward #18

Mouhamed Gueye (ankle) is available for Thursday’s game against the Trail Blazers.

Gueye was upgraded from questionable to probable earlier Thursday, so things were trending in this direction. He’ll provide depth off the bench, serving as Onyeka Okongwu’s primary backup. Gueye should only be rostered in dynasty leagues.

Jerami Grant

POR Forward #9
Jerami Grant (Achilles) is available for Thursday’s game against the Hawks but will come off the bench.

Thursday’s game will be Grant’s first in nearly a month, as he last played on December 18. Similar to how the Trail Blazers have worked Jrue Holiday back into the fold, Grant will come off the bench in his first game back. Sidy Cissoko will likely see his playing time decrease, a negative for his streaming value despite remaining in the starting lineup.

Landry Shamet

NYK Guard #44

Landry Shamet (shoulder) is available for Thursday’s game against the Warriors.

Thursday’s game will be Shamet’s first since November 22, when he injured his shoulder against the Magic. While his return gives the Knicks additional depth on the perimeter, he’s unlikely to immediately emerge as a player worth rostering in most fantasy leagues.

Brandon Williams

DAL Guard #10
Brandon Williams, Jaden Hardy, Caleb Martin, Naji Marshall and Dwight Powell will start Thursday’s game against the Mavericks.

The Mavericks are without multiple rotation players, with Thursday’s game being their second in as many nights. Williams, Martin and Powell are in the starting five, filling the voids left by Cooper Flagg, P.J. Washington and Daniel Gafford. Of the three new starters, Williams offers the highest streaming upside.

Tristan Vukcevic

WAS Forward #00

Tristan Vukčević (knee) is out for Friday’s game against the Kings.

Due to a sore left knee, Vukčević will not be available for Friday’s game. His absence does not affect fantasy basketball, as Alex Sarr and Marvin Bagley III will be available. Sarr was ejected during the second quarter of Wednesday’s loss to the Clippers, resulting in more minutes for Bagley, while Vukčević only played eight minutes.

Khris Middleton

WAS Forward #22

Khris Middleton (knee) will not play on Friday against the Kings.

On the heels of one of his most productive games of the season, Middleton won’t take the floor for Friday’s contest. The veteran guard has played a less significant role in his first full season as a Wizard, and his absence shouldn’t make too much of a difference from a fantasy basketball standpoint. He’s averaging 9.6 points, 3.9 rebounds and 3.3 assists per game.

Bilal Coulibaly

WAS Guard #0
Bilal Coulibaly (back) is out for Friday’s game against the Kings.

Coulibaly had to exit Wednesday’s loss to the Clippers after playing 10 minutes due to lower back tightness. Rookie Will Riley’s playing time increased, as he logged 27 minutes off the bench. While he isn’t worth the streaming risk yet, managers looking ahead to the “silly season” should keep an eye on Riley.

Luguentz Dort

OKC Guard #5

Luguentz Dort, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Chet Holmgren, Jalen Williams and Aaron Wiggins will start against the Rockets on Thursday.

Dort (foot) is back from a one-game absence and will reclaim his usual spot in the Thunder’s starting lineup. He’ll join a cast of familiar faces in the opening lineup for the Thunder’s first matchup with the Rockets since their opening-day double-overtime thriller, which OKC won by a point.

Jaylen Brown

BOS Guard-Forward #7

Derrick White, Payton Pritchard, Jaylen Brown, Sam Hauser and Neemias Queta will start Thursday’s game against the Heat.

Brown is back after lower back spasms sidelined him for Monday’s loss to the Pacers. As a result, Baylor Scheierman heads to the bench, and the second-year guard could fall out of the rotation entirely. The other four starters are unchanged.
