All Player News

Keegan Murray

SAC Small Forward #13

Keegan Murray (SI joint irritation) is available for Saturday’s game against the Nuggets.

Murray, a full participant in practices on Friday and Saturday, is good to return after a two-game absence. This means Chris Duarte will return to the bench, where his fantasy value takes a hit. Duarte wasn’t a great streaming option as a spot starter, so he should already be on most waiver wires.
Anthony Edwards

MIN Shooting Guard #5

Anthony Edwards (right hip pointer) has been ruled out for Saturday’s game against the Hornets.

After Saturday, the Timberwolves won’t play again until Wednesday, giving Edwards a few more days to get back to full strength. Nickeil Alexander-Walker will remain in the starting lineup and is worth streaming in this spot, especially considering Charlotte’s defensive struggles.
Rudy Gobert

MIN Center #27

Rudy Gobert (left hip soreness) is available for Saturday’s game against the Hornets.

Initially questionable for Saturday’s game, Gobert has been cleared to play. Should there be any issues, Naz Reid would be the player who benefits most.
Dario Saric

GSW Power Forward #20

Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Moses Moody, Draymond Green, and Dario Saric will start Saturday’s game against the Clippers.

There’s one change to the Warriors’ starting lineup from Thursday’s win over the Clippers, with Saric replacing Kevon Looney. He’ll offer more spacing offensively, which could work well against Clippers starting center Ivica Zubac. Looney will still have value as a reserve, but he does take a hit with the change.
Brandon Miller

CHA Small Forward #24

Brandon Miller (left ankle sprain) and Nick Richards (concussion protocol) are available for Saturday’s game against the Timberwolves.

Miller and Richards being back in action means there will be multiple changes to the Hornets’ rotation. The former will be back in the starting lineup, with Bryce McGowens dropping to the bench, where he isn’t worth streaming. As for Richards, he’ll return to the backup center role, where there may not be as many minutes available. PJ Washington can play the four or the five, so his minutes should be safe. JT Thor could wind up being the biggest loser here, as he could fall out of the rotation completely.
Derrick Rose

MEM Point Guard #23

Derrick Rose (left ankle sprain) and Ziaire Williams (illness) are doubtful for Saturday’s game against the Suns.

With this being Memphis’ second game in as many nights, Rose showing up on the injury report isn’t a surprise. However, it’s a sprained ankle that has him on the report and not the usual sore knee. Losing him and Williams would be a big deal for Memphis, as both have played well over the last week. Jacob Gilyard could be back in the rotation after falling out, while Jaylen Nowell could be worth a look in deeper fantasy leagues.
Davion Mitchell

SAC Point Guard #15

Davion Mitchell (illness) has been ruled out for Saturday’s game against the Nuggets.

Mitchell won’t be available for Saturday’s game, which likely means more rotation minutes for Keon Ellis. However, as long as starter De’Aaron Fox is available, either Ellis nor Mitchell will be worth rostering in most leagues.
Dante Exum

DAL Shooting Guard #0

Dante Exum (personal reasons) and Maxi Kleber (right small toe dislocation) are out for Saturday’s game against the Thunder.

Exum and Kleber will remain sidelined on Saturday, albeit for different reasons. While neither has been impactful in fantasy basketball circles, the absence of the former means that Dallas could be down multiple guards on Saturday. Kyrie Irving and Josh Green are questionable with foot and elbow injuries.
Andrew Wiggins

GSW Small Forward #22

Andrew Wiggins (right index finger soreness) has been ruled out for Saturday’s game against the Clippers.

Wiggins gave it a go during his pregame routine but has been ruled out. Moses Moody will remain in the starting lineup and is worth rostering until the Warriors get healthier on the wings.
Kyrie Irving

DAL Point Guard #11

Kyrie Irving (right foot soreness) and Josh Green (right elbow soreness) are questionable for Saturday’s game against the Thunder.

With Luka Doncic (personal) sidelined, Irving and Green were the starting guards in Friday’s loss to the Grizzlies. Luka will be back in action; the question is who he’ll share guard duties with. Irving is obviously the player whose availability will greatly impact fantasy basketball in this spot. Seth Curry and Jaden Hardy would be in line for more minutes if Irving and/or Green are ruled out.
