Rotoworld

Jonathan Kuminga

GSW Forward #1

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

ESPN’s Shams Charania reports that Jonathan Kuminga has demanded a trade away from the Warriors.

Kuminga’s relationship with the Warriors seemed to sour over the summer and only got worse when Warriors coach Steve Kerr benched the 23-year-old after the first 12 games of the season. Kuminga hasn’t played in the last 13 games despite having a two-year, $46.8 million contract. Part of that contract is a $24.3 million team option for next season, which could factor into his trade market, but the wing is finally eligible to be traded on Thursday, so a deal might come together quickly.

Tristan Vukcevic

WAS Forward #00

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

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.

Pelle Larsson

MIA Guard #9

Tyler Herro, Norman Powell, Andrew Wiggins, Pelle Larsson and Bam Adebayo will start Thursday’s game against the Celtics.

The Heat are without Davion Mitchell, who’s out with a left shoulder contusion. He’ll be replaced in the lineup by Larsson, which means more on-ball playmaking duties for Herro and Powell.

Max Christie

DAL Guard #00
Max Christie (illness) is out for Thursday’s game against the Jazz.

Christie will miss a second consecutive game after sitting out Wednesday’s loss to the Nuggets. Jaden Hardy has started the last two games and should remain in the starting lineup, since the Mavericks are without multiple rotation players.

Kyle Kuzma

MIL Forward #18

Kyle Kuzma (illness) is available for Thursday’s game against the Spurs.

Initially questionable for Thursday’s game, Kuzma is good to go after going through his pregame routine without issue. In his usual reserve role, Kuzma has not offered reliable fantasy value, even in deeper leagues.

P.J. Washington

DAL Forward #25
P.J. Washington (ankle) is out for Thursday’s game against the Jazz.

Thursday’s game is the second in as many nights for the Mavericks, so Washington will not play for injury management reasons. Already a solid streaming option, Naji Marshall becomes even more attractive to fantasy managers. More scoring opportunities will also be available to Klay Thompson due to how shorthanded the Mavericks are.

Daniel Gafford

DAL Forward-Center #21

Daniel Gafford (ankle) will not play against the Jazz on Thursday.

Gafford is one of several Dallas starters unavailable for Thursday’s game due to injury. The veteran center suffered the injury in Wednesday’s loss to the Nuggets, which forced him to exit the game early and not return. Dwight Powell is a likely candidate to fill in and log heavy minutes for the injured Gafford.
