  • TOR Forward-Guard #9
    Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players
    Evan Sidery reports that “the Kings and Raptors have recently conducted exploratory trade talks centered on Domantas Sabonis.”
    Sidery also mentions that “Sacramento is eyeing RJ Barrett as the primary player in return.” We do know from previous reporting that the Raptors are open to moving some combination of Barrett, Immanuel Quickley, and/or Jakob Poeltl at the trade deadline. It remains to be seen if anything comes from this, but Sabonis would fit as a post offensive option alongside slashing wings like Brandon Ingram and Scottie Barnes.
  • CLE Guard #1
    Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players
    James Harden, Donovan Mitchell, Sam Merrill, Jaylon Tyson and Jarrett Allen will start Saturday’s game against the Kings.
    Harden is set to make his Cavaliers’ debut. And to no one’s surprise, he will do so as a starter. Dean Wade is listed as probable, but he may have been the player selected to go to the bench if he were healthy. Tyson remaining in the starting lineup means he remains a player worth holding in 12-team leagues.
    HLs: Castle explodes for 40-point triple-double
    Watch highlights of San Antonio Spurs guard Stephon Castle doing it all with a 40-point triple-double to defeat the Dallas Mavericks Saturday night.
  • MEM Forward #0
    Jaylen Wells (shoulder) is out for Saturday’s game against the Trail Blazers.
    The Grizzlies will be down numerous rotation guards for Saturday’s game. Kentavious Caldwell-Pope is available, so he should figure prominently in the rotation, whether he starts or comes off the bench. Also, look for Jahmai Mashack to get more opportunities after playing solid minutes in Friday’s loss to Portland.
  • MEM Guard #23
    Cedric Coward (shoulder) is out for Saturday’s game against the Trail Blazers.
    Coward was initially listed as doubtful with shoulder soreness for Saturday’s game against the Trail Blazers, so his absence isn’t a surprise. There are a number of Grizzlies who could take on minutes vacated by Coward, which includes the newly acquired Kyle Anderson.
  • MEM Guard #24
    Cam Spencer (ankle) is out for Saturday’s game against the Trail Blazers.
    Spencer was initially questionable with right ankle soreness and has since been ruled out for Saturday’s game against the Trail Blazers. Javon Small and Walter Clayton Jr. should fill in the vacated minutes, though neither of them are worth rostering in fantasy leagues.
  • DAL Guard #00
    Max Christie produced 17 points (6-of-11 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), three rebounds, three assists, one steal and three three-pointers in Saturday’s loss to the Spurs.
    Christie led three Mavericks starters in double figures, and he’s scored at least ten points in five consecutive games. The issue for him recently, even with the double-digit points streak, has been that Christie has made just 38.4 percent of his shots from the field over the past two weeks. Given the limited assists and defensive stats, Christie has limited upside in category leagues.
  • DAL Forward #35
    Marvin Bagley accounted for 16 points (6-of-14 FGs, 3-of-7 FTs), 12 rebounds, two assists, one steal, three blocks and one three-pointer in Saturday’s loss to the Spurs.
    For the few who had Bagley rostered, his Mavericks debut went about as well as one could hope. Despite coming off the bench, he played 24 minutes, six more than starter Daniel Gafford (nine points, four rebounds and two assists), who was in foul trouble for most of the night. Even if the minutes were reversed, Bagley offers solid fantasy upside in Dallas. Deep-league managers should consider picking him up, with Dallas playing four games in Week 17.
  • DAL Guard #1
    Tyus Jones finished Saturday’s loss to the Spurs with two points (1-of-3 FGs) and seven assists in Saturday’s loss to the Spurs.
    Making his first appearance since being traded to Dallas, Jones played 17 minutes on Saturday. While the assist production was excellent, he’s in a challenging spot as far as fantasy relevance is concerned. The basketball will be in Cooper Flagg’s (14/4/4 with two three-pointers) hands a lot as he continues to develop as a pro. So even if Jones were to move into the starting lineup at some point, he would not be worth the risk unless there’s a dire need for assists.
  • DAL Guard #31
    Klay Thompson tallied 19 points (6-of-14 FGs, 3-of-3 FTs), one rebound, two assists, two steals and four three-pointers in Saturday’s loss to the Spurs.
    Thompson turned back the clock during the second quarter of Saturday’s game, scoring 14 points on 4-of-6 shooting from the field. The Spurs did a better job of defending Thompson during the second half, but the final stat line was solid. Unfortunately for the few who hold out hope that Klay can achieve fantasy relevance, he wasn’t moved at the trade deadline. Getting to a team with postseason ambitions may have given him a better shot at providing value later in the season.
  • SAS Guard-Forward #24
    Devin Vassell accumulated 17 points (7-of-15 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), four rebounds, six assists, one block and one three-pointer in Saturday’s win over the Mavericks.
    In the first six games he played afer returning from a strained adductor, Vassell averaged 10.7 points on 40.6 percent shooting from the field. Saturday’s performance was his best since the injury, with the Spurs’ wing also providing solid value in the rebound and assist categories. San Antonio’s Week 17 starts with games on Tuesday and Wednesday, so Vassell managers may only get three games out of him instead of four.
  • SAS Forward-Center #1
    Victor Wembanyama amassed 16 points (6-of-14 FGs, 3-of-4 FTs), 11 rebounds, three blocks and one three-pointer in Saturday’s win over the Mavericks.
    While he took a back seat to Stephon Castle on Saturday, Wembanyama was still impactful on both ends of the floor. The three blocks don’t do the third-year center justice, as there were other occasions when Mavericks players passed up shots because of Wemby’s presence. With Saturday’s game not being as close as the 138-125 final score would indicate, the Spurs only needed to play Wembanyama 27 minutes.
