Rotoworld

Mikal Bridges

NYK Guard-Forward #25

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Mikal Bridges accumulated 22 points (9-of-15 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), six rebounds, three assists, one steal, one block and two three-pointers in Tuesday’s loss to the Pacers.

After scoring five points in the Knicks’ February 4 double-overtime win over the Nuggets, Bridges has gotten back on track offensively. He’s hit double figures in three straight, with Tuesday’s tally being the highest for him since dropping 23 in a February 3 win over the Wizards. With OG Anunoby (toe) out, there has been a little more room for Bridges to assert himself offensively, and that’s a positive for fantasy managers who have him on their rosters.

Paul George

PHI Forward #8

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Paul George (knee) is probable for Saturday’s game against the Pistons.

George is probable for injury management reasons, so he should be good to go for Saturday’s matchup. It is part of Philadelphia’s first back-to-back since George returned from his 25-game suspension, so the playing time could take a slight hit. However, as long as he’s on the floor, fantasy managers will receive good value from the veteran forward.

Joel Embiid

PHI Center-Forward #21
Joel Embiid (oblique, illness) is out for Saturday’s game against the Pistons.

Saturday is Philadelphia’s second game in as many nights, so it’s unsurprising that Embiid won’t play. Adem Bona has been the replacement in the starting lineup on most nights, but he was passed in the rotation by Andre Drummond during Friday’s win over the Timberwolves.

Jalen Duren

DET Center #0
Jalen Duren (illness) is questionable for Saturday’s game against the 76ers.

Duren was initially absent from the Pistons’ injury report. If he’s unable to play, Paul Reed would move into the starting lineup, which raises his fantasy ceiling considerably. Tolu Smith would move into the rotation, but he would not be worth the risk in fantasy leagues.

Tyler Herro

MIA Guard #14

Tyler Herro (foot) is available for Saturday’s game against the Wizards.

Herro was probable for Saturday’s game, so the status upgrade was expected. He’ll take on his usual role as part of the Heat starting lineup.

Alex Sarr

WAS Center #20
Alex Sarr (toe) and Tristan Vukčević (knee) are out for Saturday’s game against the Heat.

While Sarr will miss a fourth consecutive game, Vukčević played just 11 minutes in Wednesday’s loss to the 76ers. The latter’s absence creates a spot in the starting lineup, with Julian Reese and Anthony Gill as potential replacements. Gill played 35 minutes on Wednesday and scored a career-high 21 points. When allowed to start, Reese can provide excellent value.

Justin Champagnie

WAS Guard-Forward #9

Justin Champagnie (knee) is available for Saturday’s game against the Heat.

Added to the Wizards’ injury report on Friday night, Champagnie is set to play on Saturday. He played 21 minutes in Wednesday’s loss to the 76ers and should take on a similar workload against the Heat.

Bilal Coulibaly

WAS Guard #0
Bilal Coulibaly (heel) and Tre Johnson (foot) are available for Saturday’s game against the Heat.

Coulibaly and Johnson are good to go after being considered questionable for Saturday’s game. Both are starters, but the playing time may be a concern. In Wednesday’s loss to the 76ers, Coulibaly played 19 minutes and Johnson played 24. Fantasy managers will hope that both play more in the Wizards’ penultimate game of Week 23.

Malachi Smith

BKN Guard #18

ESPN’s Shams Charania reports that the Nets have signed Malachi Smith to a two-year deal.

Less than 24 hours removed from a 12-point first quarter in a loss to the Hawks, Smith has received a standard contract. That said, he was productive across two 10-day contracts, earning the upgrade to a standard deal. Given the Nets’ injuries on the perimeter, Smith should play rotation minutes over the final eight days of the regular season.

DeMar DeRozan

SAC Guard-Forward #10

DeMar DeRozan finished Friday’s win over the Pelicans with 14 points (7-of-11 FGs), two rebounds, five assists and two steals.

DeRozan had a fairly quiet Friday night from a production standpoint. He fell way below his season average in points, which is understandable given he only played 23 minutes. But even in his limited time, he was one of Sacramento’s best passers on a night when the offense scored a lot of points. DeRozan was impactful in his minutes, but the fantasy production didn’t follow.

Nique Clifford

SAC Guard #5

Nique Clifford finished Friday’s win over the Pelicans with 23 points (9-of-16 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs), five rebounds, six assists, one steal and four three-pointers.

Clifford was one of the Kings’ most productive players on Friday; he led the team in assists and three-pointers while finishing second in points. The rookie also logged a team-high in minutes, and like fellow rookie Maxime Raynaud, Clifford has had a very encouraging season for the Kings. He’ll be an intriguing player to follow from a fantasy standpoint going forward.
