Marcus Smart

LAL Guard #36

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players
Marcus Smart (leg) recorded 25 points (9-of-17 FGs, 3-of-5 FTs), two rebounds, one steal and four three-pointers in Saturday’s loss to the Trail Blazers.

Smart limped off the court during the fourth quarter, heading to the locker room briefly before returning to the bench. He had an excellent night before the lower-body injury, with the 25 points being a season-high. There was no announcement from the Lakers regarding Smart’s injury, which may bode well for his availability for Sunday’s game against the Raptors. And if Luka Dončić (groin) can’t play, Smart will be worth streaming.

D'Angelo Russell

WAS Guard

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

D’Angelo Russell (not with team) is out for Sunday’s game against the Heat.

Russell has yet to join the Wizards since being sent to the nation’s capital as part of the Anthony Davis trade. And it’s fair to wonder if the veteran guard is a buyout candidate, given the number of young perimeter players on the roster. There’s no need to roster Russell in fantasy leagues.

Jaden Hardy

WAS Guard

Jaden Hardy (rest) is out for Sunday’s game against the Heat.

Hardy’s Wizards debut will have to wait for at least one more game. Given his role in Dallas, fantasy managers should hold off on adding the fourth-year guard until it’s made clear that there’s a place for him within the Wizards’ rotation.

Anthony Gill

WAS Forward #16

Anthony Gill (hand) is questionable for Saturday’s game against the Heat.

Gill has played between 27 and 30 minutes in three of Washington’s last four games, with his playing time dictated mainly by the availability of starter Alex Sarr (ankle). With the second-year center also listed as questionable, Gill could be in for another heavy workload if he plays, but Sarr doesn’t.

Alex Sarr

WAS Center #20

Alex Sarr (ankle) is questionable for Sunday’s game against the Heat.

Limited to 18 minutes in Thursday’s win over the Pistons, Sarr did not play against the Nets on Saturday. Tristan Vukčević (knee), who started in Brooklyn, is also questionable for Sunday’s game, and he isn’t the most dependable streaming option. Hopefully, if Sarr plays, he’ll be able to play more than he did in Detroit.

Kyshawn George

WAS Forward #18
Kyshawn George (knee) is questionable for Sunday’s game against the Heat.

George did not play in Saturday’s loss to the Nets, opening up a spot in the starting lineup for rookie Jamir Watkins. Watkins played 45 minutes, finishing with 13 points, one rebound, one assist, one steal, two blocks and one three-pointer. That isn’t the most robust stat line, but Watkins playing that much stands out. On a four-game day, he would be worth streaming if George sits again.

Bilal Coulibaly

WAS Guard #0
Bilal Coulibaly (back) is questionable for Sunday’s game against the Heat.

Coulibaly did not play in Saturday’s loss to the Nets, opening up a spot in the starting lineup for Will Riley. Even if the third-year wing can play against Miami, those who have added Riley recently need to hold onto him. The rookie should play plenty the rest of the season, regardless of Coulibaly’s availability.

Kobe Bufkin

LAL Guard #18

ESPN’s Shams Charania reports that the Lakers have signed Kobe Bufkin to a two-year contract.

Bufkin’s contract includes a team option for the 2026-27 season. The former first-round pick has spent most of this season in the G League, earning a 10-day contract with the Lakers in mid-January. With the Bufkin signing, the Lakers have filled all 15 of their standard contract slots.

Russell Westbrook

SAC Guard #18

Russell Westbrook had 21 points (8-of-14 FGs), five rebounds, nine assists and five three-pointers in Saturday’s loss to the Cavaliers.

Westbrook had nine assists in Saturday’s loss to the Cavaliers, but gave back a lot of his value in certain leagues with his seven turnovers. The 37-year-old point guard was otherwise excellent for the Kings. Westbrook was efficient with 21 points on 14 attempts and five three-pointers. The Kings have two games upcoming in Week 17, starting with a matchup against the Pelicans on Monday.

Nique Clifford

SAC Guard #5

Nique Clifford had 30 points (12-of-19 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs), four rebounds, four assists, two steals, two blocks and five three-pointers in Saturday’s loss to the Cavaliers.

Clifford moved into the starting lineup with Zach LaVine (finger) and Malik Monk (illness) both out. The 23-year-old guard made the most of his opportunity with 30 points on 19 attempts in 40 minutes. Clifford can be used in deeper formats until the Kings are back to full strength.

Jarrett Allen

CLE Center #31

Jarrett Allen had 29 points (11-of-12 FGs, 7-of-8 FTs), 10 rebounds and one assist in Saturday’s win over the Kings.

On Saturday, Allen had his ninth career game with at least 25 points while shooting at least 90 percent from the field. He trails only Wilt Chamberlain all-time with 12. Allen has now had at least 29 points in two of his last three games. The 27-year-old center has provided second-round per game value over the last two weeks, according to Basketball Monster.
