Scottie Barnes

TOR Forward-Guard #4

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Scottie Barnes finished Sunday’s win over the Pacers with 25 points (12-of-20 FGs, 1-of-1 FTs), 14 rebounds, six assists, two steals and four blocked shots.

The Raptors grabbed control of Sunday’s game with a dominant third quarter, and Barnes led the way. The All-Star forward shot 8-of-9 from the field in the period, doing most of his damage in the restricted area. Barnes finished with a robust stat line, giving fantasy managers a welcome boost to end Week 16. The Raptors, who only play three games in Week 17, are off until Wednesday night against the Pistons.

Kam Jones

IND Guard #7

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players
Kam Jones (back) has been ruled out for the remainder of Thursday’s game against the Wizards.

Jones was ruled out before the start of the second half of Thursday’s contest, along with Aaron Nesmith. Before exiting with back soreness, Jones logged 14 minutes and added four points on 2-of-2 shooting. Should he miss any significant time, it shouldn’t have much of an impact on fantasy basketball.

Aaron Nesmith

IND Guard-Forward #23
Aaron Nesmith (ankle) will not return to Thursday’s game against the Wizards.

Nesmith suffered a sprained right ankle during the first half of Thursday’s game and was ruled out during the halftime break. He finished with three points, two rebounds and one assist in 15 minutes. Kobe Brown started the third quarter for Nesmith, and he may be the starter for Friday’s rematch as well.

Jalen Green

PHX Guard #4

Collin Gillespie, Devin Booker, Jalen Green, Royce O’Neale and Mark Williams will start Thursday’s game against the Spurs.

The Suns are without Dillon Brooks, who’s serving a one-game suspension after picking up his 16th technical foul of the season during the team’s final game before the All-Star break. As a result, Green will make his third start of the season and first since November 8.

Stephen Curry

GSW Guard #30
Stephen Curry (knee) will be re-evaluated in 10 days, according to ESPN’s Shams Charania.

Curry is still dealing with a persistent knee injury, according to Charania. The 37-year-old point guard will miss the next 10 days, which covers the next five Warriors games. At that point, Curry will be re-evaluated by doctors. Gui Santos figures to continue starting for Golden State and is worth streaming in deeper leagues with Curry out.

Collin Murray-Boyles

TOR Forward #12
Collin Murray-Boyles, Brandon Ingram, Scottie Barnes, Immanuel Quickley and RJ Barrett will start against the Bulls on Thursday.

Murray-Boyles is set to occupy one of the starting spots for Toronto, as Jakob Poeltl will come off the bench. The rookie forward has been a nice two-way presence for the Raptors, but doesn’t have much upside as a fantasy basketball performer yet. Still, he should see a good amount of minutes and serve as a positive piece for the Raptors on Thursday in their attempt to get back in the win column.

Jalen Smith

CHI Forward-Center #25
Josh Giddey, Anfernee Simons, Isaac Okoro, Matas Buzelis and Jalen Smith will start Thursday’s game against the Raptors.

Giddey, Okoro and Smith are back after missing time before the All-Star break due to injury. As a result of their returns, Collin Sexton, Patrick Williams and Guerschon Yabusele head to the bench. Simons and Buzelis are the holdovers from the quintet that started Chicago’s February 11 loss to the Celtics.

Grayson Allen

PHX Guard #8

Grayson Allen (ankle) is out for Thursday’s game against the Spurs.

Allen popped up on the injury report as questionable with an ankle injury Thursday afternoon and was subsequently ruled out for the game against the Spurs. Allen’s absence won’t impact fantasy basketball much with Devin Booker and Jalen Green back, though Amir Coffey could see additional minutes off the bench.

Walter Clayton

MEM Guard #4

Walter Clayton Jr. (calf) is doubtful for Friday’s game against the Jazz.

Clayton missed Memphis’ final two games before the break with a right calf contusion, and he won’t be available for Friday’s game against the team that drafted him in June. With Ty Jerome and Scotty Pippen Jr. also out, Javon Small will likely enter the Grizzlies’ rotation.

Scotty Pippen

MEM Guard #1

Scotty Pippen Jr. (toe) will not play against the Jazz on Friday.

Pippen Jr. won’t play on Friday, as he manages through his recent return from offseason toe surgery. He’s played just three games this season, posting averages of 10.7 points, 4.3 assists, 2.0 steals, and 20.0 minutes. He’s shown in his brief action that he can still be a productive player. His numbers should increase once his minutes increase.

Aaron Nesmith

IND Guard-Forward #23
Andrew Nembhard, Ben Sheppard, Aaron Nesmith, Jarace Walker and Jay Huff will start Thursday’s game against the Wizards.

Nembhard and Nesmith are back after missing the Pacers’ final game before the All-Star break, but Pascal Siakam (personal) is not. His continued absence means that Walker will get another start, while the returns of Nembhard and Nesmith push Kam Jones and Kobe Brown to the bench.
