Kelly Olynyk is probable to play against the Sixers on Tuesday despite a groin injury.
The Heat need every player they can find on Tuesday, if there is a game to be played. Seven players were added to the health and safety list on Sunday, including Jimmy Butler, Goran Dragic, Bam Adebayo, Kendrick Nunn, Udonis Haslem, Moe Harkless and KZ Okpala. Avery Bradley is also out for the same reason. Olynyk could be in line for major minutes because Miami has no other choice.
Avery Bradley (health and safety protocols) is still listed 'Out' on Miami's health and safety protocols list.
Bradley was already on the list and missed Sunday's game, and now he's joined by seven more teammates. The Heat could be running on fumes vs. the Sixers on Tuesday, and fantasy managers should expect a maximum of two games from Bradley this week.
James Ennis has been upgrade to questionable with his hamstring injury and it sounds like he's going to try to play on Monday.
Ennis isn't much of a factor in fantasy and has a tough matchup against the Bucks. You're better off rolling the dice on a 76er like Tyrese Maxey, Mike Scott or Isaiah Joe in DFS than messing with Ennis.
Austin Rivers will start in place of Reggie Bullock (hip) for the Knicks on Monday.
Bullock has been ruled out and Rivers could post a dud or go off. Rivers has posted two duds and two decent lines in each of his last four games but he should be ready to bounce back tonight, making him an intriguing DFS option.
Tony Snell (foot) is probable for Monday's game vs. the 76ers.
He's not a part of the rotation and has no business being rostered anywhere.
Ty Jerome (ankle) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Spurs.
Not many fantasy impacts here since he hasn't even played this season.
Patrick McCaw has been ruled out on Monday due to a left knee injury.
Norman Powell could be a sneaky DFS play tonight, but he's been highly inconsistent this season, bringing plenty of risk with deploying him.
Kendrick Nunn (COVID-protocol) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game vs. the 76ers.
The Heat will be missing eight players on Tuesday, so this game is in danger of getting postponed if another guy is added to the inactive list. Gabe Vincent could be forced into major minutes as one of the last men standing in Miami, so he'd be on the radar as a potential DFS punt play if this game does indeed happen tomorrow.
KZ Okpala has been added to the league's health and safety protocols list.
Okpala is therefore listed 'Out' currently, as are six other players for the Heat. What that means for Tuesday's game is uncertain, but Okpala's absence won't impact the Sixers' rotation, or fantasy lineups, either way.
Moe Harkless has been added to the health protocols list for the Heat.
The Heat now have as many as eight players in the protocol and it's looking like Tuesday's game against the Sixers is in serious jeopardy of being postponed. Trying to set fantasy lineups right now is a rocky road and the Rotoworld New Page is going to be hopping until further notice. Harkless hasn't played since Jan. 4 due to an arm injury.
Goran Dragic was one of seven Heat players added to the health and safety protocol list on Monday, and he'll likely miss Tuesday's game against the Sixers.
The list includes Jimmy Butler, Kendrick Nunn, Bam Adebayo, Moe Harkless, Udonis Haslem and KZ Okpala, with Meyers Leonard also listed as questionable for a shoulder injury. The Heat are impossibly short-staffed if Tuesday's game happens against a Sixers team equally as troubled with multiple players out to medical protocols. Without all of these players, Miami will have to rely heavily on Tyler Herro and Duncan Robinson in the backcourt, if a game is played at all.
Drew Eubanks (COVID-protocol) and Quinndary Weatherspoon (knee) will not play on Tuesday vs. the Thunder.
Both these guys are completely irrelevant in fantasy hoops, regardless of their playing status.
Danuel House (medical protocols) is out for Tuesday vs. the Lakers.
After missing four games with back spasms, House's return is now delayed due to the protocols. We'll update once we have an idea of how long he will be out.
Mike Scott (knee contusion) has been cleared to play on Monday vs. Atlanta.
Under normal circumstances, Scott wouldn't be on the fantasy radar. However, the 76ers are extremely shorthanded this evening, catapulting Scott into the streamer conversation.
Taj Gibson is not available for Monday's game vs. Charlotte.
He's clearing the protocols and should be able to join the Knicks any day now. It's still unclear if he'll immediately overtake Nerlens Noel as the backup center.
Matthew Dellavedova (concussion) is without a timetable.
According to Cavs reporter Chris Fedor, Dellavedova’s return has taken longer than usual because of his concussion history. with Darius Garland (shoulder) still out and Dante Exum (calf) out 6-8 weeks, the Cavaliers were able to sign Yogi Ferrell using a hardship exception .
The Cavaliers are using their hardship exception to sign Yogi Ferrell to a 10-day contract.
Assuming he passes the COVID-19 protocols, Ferrell is expected to be cleared in time for Monday's game. The Cavaliers are very short on players right now, so Ferrell should be in the rotation. He has career averages of 7.8 points, 2.3 dimes, 2.1 rebounds, 0.6 steals and 1.1 triples in 20 minutes, so there's not a lot of upside here.
James Wiseman saw just 17 minutes of action in Sunday's win over the Raptors, finishing with 10 points, seven rebounds and nothing else.
Wiseman consistently shows flashes of potential greatness while he's out there, but Steve Kerr has the rookie on a short leash, and the head coach also has some odd infatuation with Kevon Looney. It also doesn't help that both Draymond Green and Eric Paschall spend a decent amount of time at center in small-ball lineups. The Dubs are bringing along the rookie slowly, and unfortunately, that trend is likely to continue as long as they're winning games. We see Wiseman's potential and think he could have a strong second half, so we'd recommend trying to stay patient here.
Kelly Oubre scored 12 points on 5-of-14 shooting Sunday, to go with one 3-pointer, six rebounds, three assists, one block and one turnover in 29 minutes.
Oubre snapped the single-digit scoring streak, but his shot is still off and he was benched for the final 1.5 minutes after picking up a silly reach-in foul on Pascal Siakam, which sent Siakam to the line. He's still finding his footing in Golden State, and it could take a month before things really start to click, but the slow start certainly has been disappointing. Now might be a good time to reach out to Oubre's fantasy manager and see if they'd be willing to take a top-100 player for him.
Stephen Curry had the worst shooting game of his career in Sunday's win over the Raptors, going 2-of-16 from the floor and 6-of-6 from the stripe for 11 points over 38 minutes.
Curry didn't get his first bucket until late in the first quarter, and then his next make (a 3-pointer) didn't come until late in the fourth, roughly 30 minutes later. He added nine rebounds and six assists while he was out there, but also committed five turnovers, so it was a rough day at the office for Curry. His 2-of-16 shooting performance tied him for the lowest shooting percentage by a Warriors player who attempted at least 15 shots in a game over the past 20 years. Expect a big-time bounce-back performance on Tuesday vs. the Pacers.
