Rotoworld

Bryce McGowens

NOP Guard #11

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Bryce McGowens provided a boost off the bench with 20 points (8-of-15 FGs), two rebounds, three assists, one steal and one three-pointer against the Hawks on Wednesday.

McGowens was able to take on a larger role with both Trey Murphy (back) and Herb Jones (ankle) sidelined. He didn’t get the chance to start, but he played a season-high 37 minutes off the bench. He didn’t contribute much in other categories, but if Murphy and Jones remain out in Washington on Friday, McGowens will hold some streaming upside in deeper leagues.

Franz Wagner

ORL Forward #22

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players
Franz Wagner (ankle) is off the injury report for Thursday’s matchup with the Grizzlies in Berlin.

Wagner has missed 16 straight games, but the German forward will be back in action for this international matchup. Tristan da Silva should see a reduction in playing time and usage, but Wagner may be on a minutes restriction after so much time on the sideline. Anthony Black is worth holding, as he has played well enough to remain in the rotation regardless of Wagner’s health.

Wendell Carter

ORL Center-Forward #34
Wendell Carter Jr. (hip) is off the injury report for Thursday’s matchup with Memphis.

WCJ is good to go for Thursday’s game in Berlin, and he could slot back into the starting lineup. His return should mean fewer minutes for Goga Bitadze and Moritz Wagner.

Jalen Suggs

ORL Guard #4
Jalen Suggs (knee) is out for Thursday’s matchup with the Grizzlies.

Suggs is getting closer to a return, but he’s not quite there, and he’ll be sidelined for Orlando’s tilt with Memphis in Berlin. While Suggs is out, Anthony Black should continue to see extended run.

Zach Edey

MEM Center #14
According to the Memphis Grizzles PR account on X.com, Zach Edey will be re-evaluated in six weeks while rehabbing from a stress reaction in his left ankle.

Edey last played on December 7, and this latest update means he won’t return until at least late February or early March. While Edey is out, Jock Landale and Santi Aldama should continue to soak up minutes at center.

De'Anthony Melton

GSW Guard #8

De’Anthony Melton led the Warriors with 23 points (9-of-14 FGs), two rebounds, one assist, one steal and four three-pointers in a 119-97 win over the Trail Blazers on Tuesday.

Melton has been excellent off the bench for the Warriors recently, and that continued in this game. His 23 points were the most he’s had in a game since 2023, and it also led both teams in scoring. It has been a long journey back to healthy for Melton, but he’s only 27 years old and has always had a fantasy-friendly game. If he can maintain this large reserve role for the Warriors, he’ll be able to make an impact for fantasy managers.

Stephen Curry

GSW Guard #30

Stephen Curry finished with seven points (2-of-9 FGS), four rebounds, 11 assists, one steal and two three-pointers against the Trail Blazers on Tuesday.

Curry didn’t do much scoring in this game, but he made up for it by playing the facilitator role. His seven points were a new season low, but the 11 dimes were a new season high. In fact, he has double digit assists just twice this season, with both coming during the Warriors’ last two games. If he can keep up the playmaking, Curry’s value will only rise, but managers won’t have to worry about him scoring less than 10 points often.

Jrue Holiday

POR Guard #5

Jrue Holiday started the second half on Tuesday and contributed 12 points (4-of-12 FGs), eight rebounds, three assists and two three-pointers in a 119-97 loss to the Warriors.

Holiday came off the bench for a second straight game after making his return from nearly a two-month absence on Sunday. However, he started the second half in place of Caleb Love, who joined the starting lineup with Deni Avdija out. Holiday will eventually return to the starting lineup, and his jump in minutes from 16 on Sunday to 21 in this game indicate that is closer to happening. Holiday could be back starting against the Hawks on Thursday, which will result in a value boost for him.

Caleb Love

POR Guard #2

Caleb Love started on Tuesday and finished with 17 points (5-of-16 FGs), three rebounds, seven assists, two steals, one block and two three-pointers against the Warriors.

Love entered this game having scored in double figures in 11 straight games, which led to the first start of his career. He extended that streak to 12 games, though it didn’t come efficiently, and he was benched in favor of Jrue Holiday to open the second half. Love may return to playing a reserve role in their next game, but he should still play a decent role off the bench as a scorer and is worth stashing in dynasty formats.

CJ McCollum

ATL Guard #3

CJ McCollum lit up the Lakers with 25 points (11-of-23 FGs), one rebound, three assists, one steal and two three-pointers on Tuesday.

McCollum was solid in his first game as a Hawk, but he really showcased what he can be for them in this game. Though the starters struggled, the bench unit had more success, and McCollum was a big part of that. He also played 27 minutes, so his minutes shouldn’t take much of a hit when compared to his role with the Wizards. Most of his value will come from points and triples, but he’ll see plenty of usage despite his role as a reserve.

Nickeil Alexander-Walker

ATL Guard #7

Nickeil Alexander-Walker led the Hawks with 26 points (10-of-16 FGs), four rebounds, three assists and five three-pointers in a 141-116 loss to the Lakers on Tuesday.

This was a rough game for Atlanta’s starters, but NAW was a bright spot. This was the third straight game he scored at least 20 points, which he hasn’t done since early December. His breakout season has continued, and with Trae Young now in Washington, there isn’t anything to slow him down. NAW will remain an elite option for the rest of the season now that his role as a starter is locked in.
