All Player News

Gabe Vincent

LAL Point Guard #7

Gabe Vincent (left knee effusion) has been ruled out for Tuesday’s game against the Suns.

Vincent hasn’t appeared in a game since October 30, and that won’t change on Tuesday. Given the amount of time missed, his continued absence will not impact fantasy basketball.
LeBron James

LAL Small Forward #23

LeBron James (left calf contusion) is questionable for Tuesday’s game against the Suns.

James is again listed as questionable on an initial injury report. As has been the case in the past, fantasy managers should expect to see him on the court in his usual role. The same goes for Anthony Davis, who’s listed as probable with a left adductor/hip spasm.
Jarred Vanderbilt

LAL Power Forward #2

Jarred Vanderbilt (left heel bursitis) and Rui Hachimura (nasal fracture) are probable for Tuesday’s game against the Suns.

Vanderbilt made his season debut on Friday, playing 14 minutes off the bench. Should his workload remain the same, that won’t be enough playing time for Vanderbilt to offer value in most fantasy leagues. As for Hachimura, he was initially cleared for Friday’s game before the decision was made to hold him out. He’ll likely be playing with a mask of some kind, and the Lakers’ now-crowded frontcourt will make it difficult for Hachimura regarding his fantasy value.
Obi Toppin

IND Power Forward #1

Tyrese Haliburton, Bruce Brown, Buddy Hield, Obi Toppin, and Myles Turner will start Monday’s game against the Celtics.

The Pacers will have their preferred starting five on the court for Monday’s In-Season Tournament quarterfinal, with Haliburton and Toppin initially questionable to play. The former is back after missing Saturday’s win over the Heat, with his absence having boosted the streaming values of Andrew Nembhard (who started vs. Miami) and T.J. McConnell. Neither needs to be streamed in this spot.
Tyrese Haliburton

IND Point Guard #0

Tyrese Haliburton (upper respiratory illness) and Obi Toppin (left ankle sprain) will play against Boston on Monday.

Rick Carlisle said about two hours before tipoff that he expected both players to play, and now it is official. Both should be in the starting unit, with Haliburton returning from a one game absence. They’ll look to guide the Pacers to Vegas for the semifinals of the In-Season Tournament.
Bradley Beal

PHX Shooting Guard #3

Bradley Beal (low back strain) is “making progress”, but he is “still without a timetable”, according to Frank Vogel.

Beal has only played in three games, and it may be a while longer before he plays in a fourth. Grayson Allen and Eric Gordon should continue to play considerable roles until Beal is finally able to return.
Eric Gordon

PHX Shooting Guard #23

Frank Vogel is “hopeful” that Eric Gordon (right knee contusion) will play on Tuesday against the Lakers.

They will “see how he responds” to practice on Monday, but with Devin Booker playing, Gordon won’t have the same fantasy appeal. He may start alongside Book in the backcourt, though he may come off the bench. Either way, the only reason to stream him is because there is only two games on Tuesday.
Tyrese Haliburton

IND Point Guard #0

Tyrese Haliburton (upper respiratory illness) and Obi Toppin (left ankle sprain) are expected to play, according to Rick Carlisle.

Both players came into the game as questionable, but they should be available and starting in the quarterfinals of the In-Season Tournament. Haliburton should slide back in as the team’s starting point guard, which will push Andrew Nembhard back to the bench.
Evan Fournier

NYK Shooting Guard #13

Evan Fournier and DaQuan Jeffries are questionable for Tuesday’s game against the Bucks due to a non-COVID related illness.

Both players are dealing with an illness, but as long as it does spread throughout the team, it won’t impact fantasy basketball. Neither player is part of the team’s rotation when healthy.
Anfernee Simons

POR Shooting Guard #1

Anfernee Simons (torn UCL, right thumb) went through most of practice on Monday.

Malcolm Brogdon reportedly said that Simons looked good during practice, so his return may not be far off. When he returns, he’ll take back over as the team’s starting shooting guard. He hasn’t played since October, so the rotation looks a bit different. That could end up pushing Shaedon Sharpe or Toumani Camara to the bench, unless it happens this week, in which case he would just fill in for Jerami Grant (concussion protocol).
