Brandon Williams

DAL Guard #10

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players
Brandon Williams (knee) is questionable for Sunday’s game against the Bucks.

After logging 23 minutes off the bench in Saturday’s loss to the Lakers, Williams is dealing with a sore right knee. His absence would likely lead to more playing time for Ryan Nembhard, who played only four minutes against the Lakers. D’Angelo Russell may also see some action after picking up a DNP-CD.

Jonas Valančiūnas

DEN Center #17

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Jonas Valančiūnas (calf) is probable for Thursday’s game against the Nets.

Valančiūnas, who starts for the injured Nikola Jokić (knee), recorded a double-double in Tuesday’s loss to the Pistons. The probable tag suggests that he’ll be available on Thursday, and this matchup could be a good one for the veteran center.

Gary Payton

GSW Guard #0

Gary Payton II (calf) is available for Wednesday’s game against the Jazz.

Payton was initially probable for Wednesday’s game, so this was the expected outcome. He’ll provide depth off the bench but is unlikely to do enough to affect fantasy basketball. Leave Payton on the waiver wire.

Collin Murray-Boyles

TOR Forward #12

Collin Murray-Boyles, RJ Barrett, Brandon Ingram, Scottie Barnes and Immanuel Quickley will start against the Knicks on Wednesday.

Murray-Boyles will return to the starting five in his first game back from a thumb injury. He’ll join the other regulars in the starting lineup to help get the Raptors off to a strong start as they look to put together a fifth straight win. The rookie is averaging 7.8 points, 5.1 rebounds and 2.0 assists per game, offering solid two-way ability on the wing.

Amari Williams

BOS Forward-Center #77

Derrick White, Payton Pritchard, Jaylen Brown, Sam Hauser and Amari Williams will start Wednesday’s game against the Hawks.

With Neemias Queta (illness) out, the Celtics will turn to Williams to fill the resulting void. While not a great fantasy option, the rookie has done well as a screener within the Celtics’ offense. The other four starters are unchanged.

Santi Aldama

MEM Forward-Center #7
Santi Aldama (knee) is out for Wednesday’s game against the Hornets.

Counting Wednesday, Aldama has missed three of the Grizzlies’ last four games. Either John Konchar or Jock Landale will move into the starting lineup, but the latter offers a much higher fantasy ceiling, whether he starts or comes off the bench.

Jalen Brunson

NYK Guard #11
Jalen Brunson (illness) is available for Wednesday’s game against the Raptors.

Brunson is going to give it a go after getting through his individual pregame workout. With the Knicks playing their second game in as many nights and Miles McBride out, look for Tyler Kolek to play rotation minutes. However, he isn’t worth streaming here.

Josh Hart

NYK Guard #3

Josh Hart (ankle) is available to play on Wednesday vs. the Raptors.

Despite dealing with an ankle injury, Hart will play in the second game of a back-to-back as he looks to help the Knicks win a fourth consecutive game. The veteran forward will start and is likely to receive his normal workload. He’s averaging 11.8 points, 7.9 rebounds and 5.1 assists through 35 games this season.

Christian Braun

DEN Guard #0
Christian Braun (ankle) is out for Thursday’s game against the Nets.

Thursday’s absence makes it 11 consecutive games on the bench for Braun, who is still dealing with a sprained left ankle. Jalen Pickett has been the replacement in the starting lineup and should retain that role until Braun is healthy enough to play.

Cooper Flagg

DAL Forward #32
Cooper Flagg (ankle) is out for Wednesday’s game against the Timberwolves.

Even with the extra day off due to Sunday’s game in Milwaukee being postponed, Flagg will not play on Wednesday due to left ankle injury management. The Mavericks also play on Thursday, so the rookie will unsurprisingly sit. Naji Marshall’s usage should increase, and he’s worth rostering even when Flagg is available.

Aaron Gordon

DEN Forward #32
Aaron Gordon (hamstring) will not play on Thursday against the Nets.

Gordon will miss a second straight game on Wednesday as he deals with a second hamstring strain. The injury has limited Gordon to just 23 appearances, which has been one of his best statistical seasons as a pro. Peyton Watson and Spencer Jones should continue to start at the forward spots, while Bruce Brown should come off the bench to play important minutes.
