Sam Merrill

CLE Guard #5

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players
Darius Garland, Donovan Mitchell, Sam Merrill, Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen will start against the Timberwolves on Saturday.

Craig Porter Jr. will come off the bench after starting on Thursday. Merrill will take his spot after playing 31 minutes in the Cavs’ last game, while Porter only played 15. Merrill will play a similar role, but he’ll be playing alongside the starters.

Norman Powell

MIA Guard #24

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players
Norman Powell (personal) is out for Sunday’s game against the Bulls.

Powell is set to miss his second game in a row for personal reasons. Myron Gardner started in his place in Saturday’s loss to the Bulls and had 12 points and 11 rebounds in 23 minutes. Gardner could start again, but Jaime Jaquez Jr. saw the bigger boost with 20 points in 32 minutes off the bench.

Nikola Jović

MIA Forward #5
Nikola Jović (hip) is out for Sunday’s game against the Bulls.

Jović was initially doubtful for Sunday’s game, so the downgrade in status is not a surprise. Simone Fontecchio may pick up a few additional minutes, while fantasy managers will hope to see more of Kel’el Ware than three minutes of play.

De'Aaron Fox

SAS Guard #4
Sunday’s game between the Magic and Spurs will begin at 9 PM Eastern.

This is the second time the game has been moved back due to the Spurs’ issues getting out of Charlotte following Saturday’s loss to the Hornets. Initially scheduled to begin at 3 PM Eastern, the start time was pushed back to 7 PM, and now to 9 PM.

Michael Porter

BKN Forward #17

Michael Porter Jr. (personal) is out for Sunday’s game against the Pistons.

Absent from the initial injury report released for Sunday’s game, Porter is now out and will miss a second straight game for personal reasons. Danny Wolf should make another start, which gives the rookie some appeal in deeper leagues.

Jalen Green

PHX Guard #4
Jalen Green (hamstring, hip) is out for Sunday’s game against the Clippers.

Green will not be available for Sunday’s game due to not only hamstring injury management but also a left hip contusion suffered during Friday’s win over the Cavaliers. His absence will likely result in more minutes for Collin Gillespie and Jordan Goodwin, with the former already in the starting lineup.

Gary Harris

MIL Guard #11
Gary Harris (hamstring) is out for Sunday’s game against the Celtics.

Harris’ absence will not affect fantasy basketball, but it does free up additional minutes for Gary Trent Jr. Fantasy managers can afford to leave Trent on the waiver wire.

Devin Vassell

SAS Guard-Forward #24
Devin Vassell (adductor) is not on the injury report for Sunday’s game against the Magic.

On Saturday, Vassell made his first start since returning from a strained adductor, playing 30 minutes in a loss to the Hornets. His absence from the injury report for Sunday bodes well for the workload that he’s capable of carrying. Harrison Barnes came off the bench against Charlotte, and he’ll likely remain in that role if Stephon Castle (adductor) can play on Sunday.

Jeremy Sochan

SAS Forward #10

Jeremy Sochan (quad) is out for Sunday’s game against the Magic.

Sunday’s game will be the third that Sochan has missed with a strained left quad. His continued absence does not affect fantasy basketball, as the fourth-year forward is not guaranteed rotation minutes when healthy.

Victor Wembanyama

SAS Forward-Center #1
Victor Wembanyama (calf) is questionable for Sunday’s game against the Magic.

Wembanyama is on the injury report after playing 31 minutes in Saturday’s loss to the Hornets, joining Stephon Castle (adductor). If Wemby is given the night off, the Spurs would turn to Luke Kornet to fill the void in the starting lineup. Wembanyama’s absence would also push Kelly Olynyk into the rotation.

Stephon Castle

SAS Guard #5
Stephon Castle (adductor) is questionable for Sunday’s game against the Magic.

Castle is one of two Spurs’ starters on the injury report for Sunday’s game after playing in Saturday’s loss to the Hornets, with Victor Wembanyama being the other. With Devin Vassell back in the fold, the Spurs can slide Harrison Barnes back into the starting lineup if Castle can’t play.
