Rotoworld

Pelle Larsson

MIA Guard #9

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Pelle Larsson contributed 16 points (6-of-11 FGs, 3-of-4 FTs), three rebounds, three assists, one steal and one block over 27 minutes in Sunday’s loss to the Thunder.

Larsson scored 16 points for the second time in his last four games. The lack of a consistent role limits his scoring appeal and extinguishes his immediate fantasy appeal. However, he would be the primary beneficiary from a minutes standpoint if Norman Powell winds up requiring a lengthy absence. It’s a situation to monitor in deeper fantasy leagues.

Jimmy Butler

GSW Forward #10

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players
Jimmy Butler III (personal) is out for Saturday’s game against the Hornets.

Butler was announced as a starter, but when the game began, he was in the Warriors’ locker room. Unfortunately, the veteran forward will not play on Saturday for personal reasons. Will Richard was a late insertion into the starting lineup.

Luka Dončić

LAL Forward-Guard #77

According to Lakers head coach JJ Redick, Luka Dončić (groin) is considered day-to-day.

Dončić was ruled out for Saturday’s game against the Trail Blazers due to a sore left groin. The good news is that his MRI results were “good” in Redick’s words, and the point guard is considered day-to-day. The Lakers host the Raptors on Sunday, then hit the road for an eight-game trip that begins in Denver on Tuesday.

Ja'Kobe Walter

TOR Guard #14
Ja’Kobe Walter (hip) is out for Sunday’s game against the Lakers.

Walter will remain out for a fourth consecutive game as he recovers from a right hip pointer. While his absence does not affect fantasy basketball, it is another blow to the Raptors’ depth, as RJ Barrett (ankle) is also out. Gradey Dick should see his playing time increase, but he is not a must-stream player.

Deandre Ayton

LAL Center #5
Deandre Ayton (knee) is out for Saturday’s game against the Trail Blazers.

With Jaxson Hayes already out, the Lakers could ill afford not to have their starting center available for Saturday’s game. Unfortunately, Ayton will not be able to play against the Trail Blazers. Jarred Vanderbilt may move into the starting lineup, and there will also be a need for rotation minutes from Maxi Kleber and even Drew Timme.

Jerami Grant

POR Forward #9

Jerami Grant (Achilles) is available for Saturday’s game against the Lakers.

Upgraded from questionable to probable earlier Saturday, Grant is good to go. He came off the bench in his first game back from an Achilles injury, resulting in Sidy Cissoko remaining in the starting lineup. Look for that to be the case again on Saturday since Grant is under a minutes restriction.

Jrue Holiday

POR Guard #5

Jrue Holiday (calf) is available for Saturday’s game against the Lakers.

Holiday is good to go after being upgraded from questionable to probable earlier Saturday. While he did start Thursday’s win over the Hawks, the veteran guard was limited to 21 minutes. Look for Holiday’s playing to be restricted as he works his way back from a strained calf.

Bruce Brown

DEN Guard-Forward #11

Bruce Brown (knee) is available for Saturday’s game against the Wizards.

Brown will take on his usual role coming off the Nuggets’ bench. Unfortunately, he hasn’t been as impactful in fantasy basketball during his second stint with the franchise as he was in his first.

Aaron Gordon

DEN Forward #32

Aaron Gordon (hamstring) is available for Saturday’s game against the Wizards.

Gordon is good to go after initially being listed as probable for Saturday’s game. His minutes may still be managed to a certain extent, but Gordon should play enough to offer reliable fantasy value.

Jamal Murray

DEN Guard #27

Jamal Murray (ankle, illness) is available for Saturday’s game against the Wizards.

Murray was initially probable for Saturday’s game, so the status upgrade was expected. Given the matchup, this could be a big night for managers who have the Nuggets’ guard on their rosters.

Sion James

CHA Guard #4
Sion James, Brandon Miller, Kon Knueppel, Miles Bridges and Ryan Kalkbrenner will start Saturday’s game against the Warriors.

While LaMelo Ball is available, Saturday’s game is the first of two in as many nights. For injury management reasons, he’ll come off the bench, with James moving into the starting five. The other change is Kalkbrenner, who’s starting in place of the injured Moussa Diabaté (hamstring).
