OKC Guard #22

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players
Cason Wallace (hip) has been ruled out against the Pelicans on Tuesday.

Wallace exited early from Sunday’s game, and he will remain out against New Orleans. With Alex Caruso (adductor) and Ajay Mitchell (abdominals) out as well, Aaron Wiggins should step into the starting lineup and have upside as a streaming option.

Christian Braun

DEN Guard #0

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Christian Braun (ankle) is available for Saturday’s game against the Bulls.

Braun was initially probable for Saturday’s game, so the status upgrade was expected. He’ll take on his usual role within the Nuggets’ starting lineup. While Braun’s production has not been what fantasy managers hoped for, his ceiling may be raised due to Peyton Watson’s absence.

Nikola Jokić

DEN Center #15

Nikola Jokić (ankle) is available for Saturday’s game against the Bulls.

Jokić is good to go after appearing to tweak his left ankle during Wednesday’s loss to the Knicks. He’ll take on his usual role as the Nuggets’ offensive focal point, and while there may be a minutes restriction, the three-time MVP has blown past his limit in the last two games.

Cameron Johnson

DEN Forward #23

Cameron Johnson (knee) is available for Saturday’s game against the Bulls.

Johnson has been sidelined with a knee injury since December 23. The 29-year-old small forward is usable in fantasy if he returns to the starting lineup, but if he’s coming off the bench a wait-and-see approach might make more sense for fantasy managers.

Chet Holmgren

OKC Center-Forward #7

Chet Holmgren had 17 points (5-of-10 FGs, 6-of-8 FTs), 14 rebounds and one three-pointer in Saturday’s loss to the Rockets.

Holmgren missed Wednesday’s loss to the Spurs with a back injury, but this is his second double-double in a row going back to Tuesday’s win over the Magic. The 23-year-old center has provided fifth-round per game value over the last two weeks, according to Basketball Monster. The Thunder have four games upcoming in Week 17, starting with a matchup against the Lakers on the road on Monday.

Cason Wallace

OKC Guard #22

Cason Wallace had 23 points (10-of-16 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), four rebounds, four assists, four steals and one three-pointer in Saturday’s loss to the Rockets.

Wallace continues to produce with the Thunder missing Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, who is out through the All-Star break at least. The 22-year-old guard led the Thunder with 23 points on 16 attempts and chipped in four rebounds and four assists. He also had four steals. Wallace is worth rostering in most leagues until SGA returns.

Tari Eason

HOU Forward #17

Tari Eason had 26 points (10-of-22 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs), eight rebounds, one assist, three steals and five three-pointers in Saturday’s win over the Thunder.

Eason is still managing a leg injury that caused him to sit out the second game of a back-to-back against the Hornets on Thursday. The 24-year-old small forward led the Rockets in scoring Saturday, though he was hardly efficient with 26 points on 22 attempts. Eason has provided fifth-round per game value over the last two weeks, according to Basketball Monster. He and the Rockets have four games upcoming in Week 17, beginning with the Clippers coming to town on Tuesday.

Jalen Smith

CHI Forward-Center #25
Jalen Smith (calf) is out for Saturday’s game against the Nuggets.

Smith is out after straining his right calf during Thursday’s loss to the Raptors. His absence means the Bulls will have to rely on Guerschon Yabusele and Nick Richards, with the latter making his first appearance since being acquired from the Bucks.

Jabari Smith

HOU Forward #10

Jabari Smith Jr. had 22 points (5-of-12 FGs, 9-of-11 FTs), 10 rebounds, one steal, one block and three three-pointers in Saturday’s win over the Thunder.

Smith had 17 points and seven rebounds in Thursday’s loss to the Hornets. The 22-year-old forward was a little better in both categories Saturday with 22 points and 10 boards as the Rockets beat the Thunder. Smith has provided second-round per game value over the last two weeks, according to Basketball Monster. The Rockets have four games upcoming in Week 17, starting with a home date with the Clippers on Tuesday.

Malik Monk

SAC Guard #0
Malik Monk (illness) is out for Saturday’s game against the Cavaliers.

After scoring 18 points in Friday’s loss to the Clippers, Monk will not play against the Cavaliers. His absence frees up opportunities for some of the Kings’ reserves, especially with Zach LaVine and De’Andre Hunter also out. Nique Clifford, Devin Carter and Daeqwon Plowden should play plenty, with the former likely moving into the starting lineup.

Alperen Sengun

HOU Center #28

Alperen Sengun had 17 points (6-of-12 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs), 12 rebounds, 11 assists, three steals, three blocks and one three-pointer in the Rockets’ 112-106 victory over the Thunder on Saturday.

Coming off his worst game of the season, with just seven points in Thursday’s loss to the Hornets, Sengun bounced back in a major way Saturday against the Thunder. The 23-year-old center had a triple-double to go along with three steals and three blocks. Sengun even had a bucket in the final minute that helped seal the victory over the defending champions. Sengun and the Rockets have four games coming up in Week 17, starting with a matchup against the Clippers on Tuesday.
