Xavier Tillman

CHA Forward #26

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

ESPN’s Shams Charania reports that the Celtics have traded Xavier Tillman Sr. and $3.5 million to the Hornets.

The goal of this transaction was for the Celtics to get out of the luxury tax. Tillman was out of the Celtics’ rotation for most of this season, averaging 7.9 minutes per game in 14 appearances. His fantasy outlook won’t change in Charlotte.

Kobe Bufkin

LAL Guard

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players
Kobe Bufkin, Luke Kennard, Jake LaRavia, Rui Hachimura and Jaxson Hayes will start Tuesday’s game against the Spurs.

Because of injuries, the Lakers will have an incredibly thin rotation for Tuesday’s game. Bufkin, Kennard and Hayes move into the starting lineup, stepping in for Marcus Smart, LeBron James and Deandre Ayton. While none of the spot starters are guaranteed to provide solid fantasy value, they’re all worth streaming.

Deandre Ayton

LAL Center #5
Deandre Ayton (knee) is out for Tuesday’s game against the Spurs.

Ayton is officially out for Tuesday’s game, adding his name to the Lakers’ lengthy list of absentees. Jaxson Hayes will move into the starting lineup, and he’s worth streaming in this spot.

Nic Claxton

BKN Center #33
Nic Claxton (hip) is questionable for Wednesday’s game against the Pacers.

Absent from the initial injury report released by the Nets, Claxton is now questionable with a sore right hip. If he’s unable to play on Wednesday, Day’Ron Sharpe would be the next man up. And he is worth streaming when allowed to start.

Tyus Jones

DAL Guard #1
Tyus Jones, Max Christie, Cooper Flagg, P.J. Washington and Daniel Gafford will start Tuesday’s game against the Suns.

Mavericks head coach Jason Kidd has made two changes to his starting lineup. After coming off the bench in Saturday’s loss to the Spurs, Jones and Washington move into the starting lineup. Naji Marshall and Caleb Martin will head to the bench, with the former still being a player worth holding onto in deep leagues.

Kristaps Porziņģis

GSW Forward-Center #7

Kristaps Porziņǵis (Achilles) was able to get in some 3-on-3 work on Tuesday.

According to Warriors head coach Steve Kerr, the team hopes Porziņǵis will make his debut in their first game out of the All-Star break, on February 19 against the Celtics. And once he’s cleared to play, he will do so in short stints. With Jimmy Butler (knee) done for the season, a healthy Porziņǵis can give the Warriors a needed boost on both ends of the floor.

Will Richard

GSW Guard #3

Will Richard (knee) is questionable for Wednesday’s game against the Spurs.

Richard was initially questionable for Monday’s win over the Grizzlies, ultimately playing 15 minutes off the bench. The rookie will likely take on a similar role against the Spurs, but there could be a few more minutes available if De’Anthony Melton (glute) can’t play.

De'Anthony Melton

GSW Guard #8
De’Anthony Melton (glute) is questionable for Wednesday’s game against the Spurs.

Melton suffered a gluteal contusion during Monday’s win over the Grizzlies. He recently moved into the starting lineup, so the Warriors would have a gap to account for if he can’t play. Brandin Podziemski could return to the starting lineup in that scenario, which would raise his fantasy ceiling.

Klay Thompson

DAL Guard #31
Klay Thompson (rest) is out for Tuesday’s game against the Suns.

Initially questionable for Tuesday’s game, Thompson will sit out Dallas’ penultimate game before the All-Star break. Khris Middleton is available to make his Mavericks’ debut, so he can absorb the minutes that would have gone to Thompson.

Keyonte George

UTA Guard #3
Keyonte George (ankle) is out for Wednesday’s game against the Kings.

George aggravated his sprained right ankle during Saturday’s loss to the Magic, and Wednesday’s game will be the second that he’s missed. Isaiah Collier has moved into the starting lineup, and he should be rostered while George sits.

Russell Westbrook

SAC Guard #18
Russell Westbrook (ankle) is out for Wednesday’s game against the Jazz.

Westbrook rolled his left ankle during Monday’s loss to the Pelicans and was limited to 21 minutes. He won’t play against the Jazz, which could lead to Devin Carter moving into the starting lineup. Given the Kings’ injuries, Carter is worth streaming in deep leagues.
