Duncan Robinson

MIA Shooting Guard #55

Duncan Robinson (left groin strain) and Caleb Martin (left shoulder contusion) are available for Monday’s game against the Hornets.

It’s business as usual for Robinson and Martin, who will continue to figure prominently in the shorthanded Heat’s rotation. While the former will remain a starter, the latter should see more minutes off the bench as the Heat account for the absences of Bam Adebayo and Haywood Highsmith. Robinson should already be rostered in standard leagues, while Martin will be a solid streamer.
Mitchell Robinson

NYK Center #23

Mitchell Robinson is undergoing further testing on his left ankle after injuring it during Friday’s loss to the Celtics.

Robinson injured his ankle during the first half of Friday’s game and did not start the third quarter due to his undergoing X-rays. Things checked out at that time, as he returned to game action, but there are now questions regarding a potential extended absence. Should Robinson miss time, Isaiah Hartenstein would move into the starting lineup and be worth streaming. Behind him, Jericho Sims could join the rotation, but he wouldn’t offer much fantasy value.
Bam Adebayo

MIA Center #13

Bam Adebayo (left hip contusion), Tyler Herro (right ankle sprain) and Haywood Highsmith (lower back contusion) will all remain sidelined for Monday’s matchup with the Hornets.

The Heat will continue to be without all three players, which means that Orlando Robinson and Caleb Martin will continue to start. Both have been excellent streaming options, though Robinson’s minutes were limited in their last game. Duncan Robinson should also remain in the starting unit with Herro out, though Herro has been sidelined for most of the season, so that won’t be a dramatic change to their rotation.
Alex Caruso

CHI Shooting Guard #6

According to Bulls coach Billy Donovan, Alex Caruso (left ankle sprain) didn’t do anything during Sunday’s practice.

Donovan also said he hopes to have Caruso on the floor “at some point this week,” which isn’t a good sign regarding his availability for Monday’s game against the Bucks. Should Caruso be sidelined, Ayo Dosunmu would likely be the replacement in the starting lineup. Chicago will play four games in Week 8, beginning with a back-to-back against the Bucks and Nuggets.
Otto Porter Jr.

TOR Small Forward #32

Otto Porter Jr. (left foot contusion) has been ruled out for Monday’s game against the Knicks.

Porter injured his foot during Friday’s loss to the Hornets and will miss at least one game. The left foot is the same one that sidelined him for the final months of last season, so look for the Raptors to exercise caution in this spot. Jalen McDaniels could return to the rotation, but he is not worth streaming in any fantasy league. It’s more likely that Gary Trent Jr. absorbs the minutes that would have gone to Porter.
Joel Embiid

PHI Center #21

Joel Embiid (left knee) was a full participant in Sunday’s practice.

Embiid injured his left knee during the fourth quarter of Friday’s win over the Hawks but managed to play through it. While he did participate in Sunday’s practice with a sleeve on the knee, 76ers coach Nick Nurse said Embiid’s status for Monday’s game against the Wizards has yet to be determined. Should he miss time, Marcus Morris has started at center in the past, but Paul Reed offers the highest fantasy upside.
Bennedict Mathurin

IND Small Forward #00

Bennedict Mathurin shot 5-of-11 from the field and 9-of-9 from the foul line in Saturday’s 123-109 loss to the Lakers, scoring 20 points with two rebounds, one steal, one block, and one 3-pointer in 30 minutes.

Mathurin is ranked well outside the top 200 in 9-cat per-game value this season. His performance in Saturday’s In-Season Tournament final was one of his best in what has been a brutal campaign, but none of the numbers officially count. What could boost Mathurin’s value in the short term is that the Pacers open Week 8 in Detroit on Monday, with the Pistons losing 19 straight games. That said, Mathurin’s rostered percentage in Yahoo leagues (52%) is too high, given the production issues and his coming off the bench. On Saturday, he picked up the slack for Bruce Brown, who accounted for four points, two rebounds, one assist, two steals, and one block in 19 minutes.
Tyrese Haliburton

IND Point Guard #0

Tyrese Haliburton logged 35 minutes in Saturday’s 123-109 loss to the Lakers, scoring 20 points (8-of-14 FGs, 2-of-3 FTs) with one rebound, 11 assists, one steal, one block, and two 3-pointers.

The Lakers looked to pressure Haliburton throughout Saturday’s In-Season Tournament final, and while they were able to do so, he still recorded a points/assists double-double. The Pacers’ star point guard did commit three turnovers, but those won’t count against his season statistics (no stats from Saturday’s final count). Haliburton’s been a top 5 player in fantasy basketball this season, and that’s unlikely to change, given how well he’s playing. The Pacers play four games in Week 8, beginning with a trip to Detroit to take on the Pistons on Monday.
Austin Reaves

LAL Shooting Guard #15

Austin Reaves shot 9-of-15 from the field and 10-of-12 from the foul line in Saturday’s 123-109 win over the Pacers, scoring 28 points with two rebounds and three assists in 28 minutes.

As a team, the Lakers shot 2-of-13 from three, with their offensive focus being on dominating the paint and getting to the foul line. That approach impacted the action on both ends of the floor, as the Lakers shot 53.4% from the field, and the frequent trips to the foul line kept the game’s pace in check. Reaves came up with a big performance off the bench, joining Anthony Davis and LeBron James as Lakers with at least 24 points scored. The Lakers, inaugural champions of the In-Season Tournament, are scheduled to play three games in Week 8.
LeBron James

LAL Small Forward #23

LeBron James played 35 minutes in Saturday’s 123-109 win over the Pacers, accumulating 24 points (10-of-21 FGs, 4-of-5 FTs), 11 rebounds, five assists, and two steals.

James wasn’t the most dominant Laker on the court in Saturday’s In-Season Tournament final, but he was that throughout the inaugural event. James was named MVP of the event, capping the Lakers’ run to the title with a double-double. Los Angeles went undefeated, going 7-0, with their quarterfinal win over the Suns being the most challenging test. The Lakers will play three games in Week 8, beginning with the Mavericks in Dallas on Tuesday.
