Derrick White

BOS Guard #9

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Derrick White amassed 18 points (5-of-18 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs), one rebound, nine assists, one steal and four three-pointers in Monday’s win over the Bucks.

An issue for White on Monday was his shooting from inside the arc, as he made just one of his six attempts on the night. However, shooting struggles have rarely prevented the Celtics guard from providing excellent overall value. The nine assists were the most in a game for White since February 11, and he has recorded eight or more in six of his last eight appearances. White will look to clean up the shooting in Wednesday’s game against the Hornets.

Jayson Tatum

BOS Forward-Guard #0

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players
Jayson Tatum (Achilles) will be in the starting lineup for Friday’s game against the Mavericks.

The expectation of many was that Tatum would start, and head coach Joe Mazzulla confirmed that during his pregame availability. However, he did not know if Tatum’s minutes would be restricted. Either Baylor Scheierman or Sam Hauser will come off the bench.

Ronald Holland

DET Forward #5
Ron Holland (eye) is available for Saturday’s game against the Nets.

An eye injury forced Holland’s premature exit from Thursday’s loss to the Spurs, resulting in a few more minutes for fellow reserve Kevin Huerter. Holland’s absence from the injury report means that he’s good to go for Saturday.

Ausar Thompson

DET Guard-Forward #9
Ausar Thompson (ankle) is out for Saturday’s game against the Nets.

Thompson appeared to roll his ankle early in the first quarter of Thursday’s loss to the Spurs, so it’s no surprise he’s already been ruled out for Saturday’s game against the Nets with a right ankle sprain. Ron Holland (eye) could move into the starting lineup as he’s off the injury report.

Cade Cunningham

DET Guard #2
Cade Cunningham (quad) is questionable for Saturday’s game against the Nets.

Cunningham is dealing with a left quad contusion, which he suffered during Thursday’s loss to the Spurs. If he’s unable to play against the Nets, the Pistons will likely turn to Daniss Jenkins to fill the void. Given the matchup, Jenkins would be a worthwhile streamer.

Jalen Duren

DET Center #0

Jalen Duren (back) is probable for Saturday’s game against the Nets.

Duren is probable for Saturday’s game against the Nets with low back spasms. The 22-year-old center is likely to suit up and will be looking to extend his streak of six consecutive games with a double-double. A first-time All-Star, Duren has been one of the most consistent centers in fantasy basketball this year.

VJ Edgecombe

PHI Guard #77
VJ Edgecombe (back) is doubtful for Saturday’s game against the Hawks.

Edgecombe is unlikely to play against the Hawks on Saturday as he’s listed as doubtful with a lumbar contusion. The 20-year-old guard missed Wednesday’s win over the Jazz with the same injury. Quentin Grimes, who had 18 points on Wednesday, could start again if Edgecombe remains sidelined.

Jonathan Kuminga

ATL Forward #0
Jonathan Kuminga (knee) is questionable for Saturday’s game against the 76ers.

Kuminga did not play in Wednesday’s win over the Bucks due to left knee inflammation. Mouhamed Gueye’s playing time increased, but not to the point where he could affect fantasy basketball.

Andrew Wiggins

MIA Forward #22
Andrew Wiggins (knees) is out for Friday’s game against the Hornets.

Initially doubtful for Friday’s game, Wiggins will sit due to patellar tendinitis in both of his knees. Jaime Jaquez Jr. and Myron Gardner will figure more prominently in the rotation, with the latter being the more likely starter to keep Jaquez in his usual reserve role.

Dru Smith

MIA Guard #12

Dru Smith (ankle) is available for Friday’s game against the Hornets.

Smith had nine points in 21 minutes in Thursday’s win over the Nets. The 28-year-old guard was initially listed as probable, so his availability against the Hornets on Friday isn’t a surprise. In his current role, Smith isn’t worth rostering in fantasy leagues.

Gary Payton

GSW Guard #0

Gary Payton II (ankle) is probable for Saturday’s game against the Thunder.

Payton has missed Golden State’s last two games with a left ankle impingement. With Will Richard also out, the Warriors turned to Nate Williams to play rotation minutes off the bench. He’ll fall in the pecking order if Payton and Richard play.
