CJ McCollum

ATL Guard #3

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

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.

Scotty Pippen

MEM Guard #1

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

The Grizzlies PR official X.com account reports that Scotty Pippen Jr. is progressing well from a sesamoidectomy performed on October 21, and he is expected to return to play in 4-6 weeks.

Pippen Jr. has yet to make his season debut, and he’ll likely be on a minutes restriction when he does. He’s not a player to monitor on fantasy basketball waiver wires.

Brandon Clarke

MEM Forward #15

According to the Grizzlies PR official X.com account, Brandon Clarke is progressing well in rehab from a Grade 2 right calf strain and is expected to return to play in 4-6 weeks.

Clarke’s continued absence has no impact to Memphis’ rotation, as the backup big man logged only two games before suffering the injury. Even when he returns, Clarke won’t be worth rostering in most fantasy leagues.

Immanuel Quickley

TOR Guard #5
Immanuel Quickley (back) is questionable for Wednesday’s matchup with the Pacers.

Quickley is a late addition to the injury report with back spasms, and he’ll join Garrett Temple, who is dealing with the same injury. Quickley’s potential absence could free up a spot start for Jamal Shead, who has made the most of increased opportunities this season. Temple’s absence has no impact in the realm of fantasy hoops, as he’s logging fewer than three minutes per game.

Lauri Markkanen

UTA Forward-Center #23
Lauri Markkanen (illness) is doubtful for Wednesday’s matchup with the Bulls.

Markkanen is a late addition to the injury report and unlikely to take the court against Chicago. In his absence, Kyle Filipowski should see a boosted role, making him a worthwhile streamer.

Ja Morant

MEM Guard #12
Ja Morant (calf) has been ruled out of Thursday’s matchup with the Magic.

Morant will be sidelined for another contest, and it’s unclear when he’ll return. His continued absence is particularly noteworthy amid trade rumors. Morant’s absence will mean more playing time for Cam Spencer and Vince Williams Jr., with Spencer the preferred pickup for fantasy managers.

Franz Wagner

ORL Forward #22
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.
