NBA Player News

DiVincenzo was in a bit of a slump coming into Sunday’s game. The 28-year-old shooting guard had last scored at least 20 points in a game on January 8, a span of seven games. DiVincenzo wasn’t very efficient, but most of his attempts were three-pointers and he made 6-of-15 from behind the three-point line. He’s provided eighth-round per game value over the last two weeks and the Timberwolves have four games in the upcoming week, making him worth considering in standard leagues if he’s available.

Potter is dealing with a left ankle sprain. His status is up in the air Wednesday against the Nets given his questionable listing. With Johnny Furphy (knee) done for the year after tearing his ACL, Potter will continue to backup Jay Huff if he’s available.

Walker is listed as questionable with an illness for Wednesday’s game against the Nets. With the Pacers dealing with a litany of other injuries, though, it seems like the 22-year-old forward should be available. With Pascal Siakam (hamstring) already ruled out, Walker could move into the starting lineup if he’s available.

McConnell is set to miss Wednesday’s game against the Nets with right hamstring soreness. With Aaron Nesmith (back) and Andrew Nembhard (back) also out, Ben Sheppard, Kam Jones and Quenton Jackson are all candidates to start and play more minutes on Wednesday.

Nembhard was ruled out for Wednesday’s game against the Nets for lower back injury management reasons. Kam Jones and Quenton Jackson should see additional minutes given all of the Pacers injuries Wednesday, though neither is worth streaming in most fantasy leagues.

Nesmith is set to miss Wednesday’s game against the Nets with lower back soreness. Ben Sheppard’s playing time should increase and he could move into the starting lineup, though he’s not worth streaming on a night with 14 games across the NBA.

Siakam headlines a lengthy injury report for the Pacers on Wednesday. After initially being listed as questionable with a hamstring injury, the 31-year-old power forward has been ruled out for the game against the Nets. Jarace Walker could move into the starting lineup for Siakam, though he’s still listed as questionable with an illness.

Queta was initially listed as probable, so his availability for Wednesday’s game against the Bulls isn’t a surprise. The 26-year-old center was said to be dealing with a sprained right ankle, though it didn’t cost him to miss any games.

Hauser was initially listed as probable, so his availability against the Bulls on Wednesday isn’t a surprise. The 28-year-old small forward missed Sunday’s loss to the Knicks with back spasms. His return will likely push Baylor Scheierman back to the bench.

Rollins popped up on the injury report Wednesday morning with right foot plantar fasciitis. The 23-year-old point guard is questionable for Wednesday’s game against the Magic. If he can’t go, even more of the offense will run through Kevin Porter Jr. with Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) still sidelined.

Vukcevic popped up on the injury report as questionable with an illness Wednesday morning. The 22-year-old power forward played 20 minutes in Saturday’s loss to the Heat. Alex Sarr figures to play more minutes if Vukcevic is ruled out against the Cavaliers.
