Cory Joseph hit 3-of-8 FGs (0-of-2 3-pointers) for six points, six rebounds and one steal with three turnovers on Saturday in a loss to the Rockets. 


Jan 02   9:33 PM

Joseph logged 28 minutes (second-most this year) with rookie guard Tyrese Haliburton sidelined due to injury, but didn't do a ton, shooting poorly from the field and turning the ball over three times. Joseph is worth a look in deeper leagues if Haliburton stays out, but Saturday's showing wasn't great on a night Sacramento needed more from him. 


Nassir Little (COVID-19 protocols) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Warriors. 


Jan 02   9:33 PM

It's been a long road back to this point for Little, as he did not record his first negative test for COVID-19 until December 22. Given the amount of time that he's missed, don't expect much in the way of production once he's cleared to play. 


Lamarcus Aldridge (left knee soreness) is listed as questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Jazz.


Jan 02   9:33 PM

After being sidelined the last two games with left knee soreness, Aldridge could return on Sunday as he's now listed as questionable. In the three games he's played, he's averaging just 12 points and 4.3 rebounds and has seen his scoring mark decrease in each outing. Not so great for a guy who's ADP was 51.6 in Yahoo leagues this season.


Abdel Nader (concussion) and Jalen Smith (left ankle sprain) have been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Clippers. 


Jan 02   9:33 PM

Neither is much of a factor fantasy-wise, so their absences won't change anything in that regard. Nader has yet to appear in an official game for the Suns this season


Sindarius Thornwell (undisclosed) is inactive for Saturday's game against the Raptors.


Jan 02   7:42 PM

Teams can only have 15 active players on any given night, and Thornwell drew the "short straw" for Saturday's game. He isn't a worthwhile fantasy option when active, so this isn't a big deal in that regard. 


Jaylen Nowell won't play on Sunday against the Nuggets due to a left soleus strain.


Jan 02   7:04 PM

Nowell has yet to play in a game this season, and doesn't appear to be part of the Wolves rotation. 


Gary Clark will serve as Orlando's backup power forward, as Chuma Okeke is out due to a bone bruise in his knee. 


Jan 02   7:04 PM

Clark played well enough in the bubble to earn a two-year deal in November, but Okeke being healthy at the start of this season squeezed him out of the rotation. Clark returns to the rotation with Okeke recovering from a knee injury, but it won't be enough to make him a viable option in any fantasy format. 


Alec Burks (sprained left ankle) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Pacers. 


Jan 02   7:04 PM

Burks will miss another game, and as has been the case he is still listed as day-to-day. Austin Rivers and Immanuel Quickley, who's back after missing time due to a sore left hip, will absorb his minutes. 


Brandon Goodwin (left ankle sprain) is listed as available for Saturday's game against the Cavaliers. 


Jan 02   7:04 PM

With Rajon Rondo (ankle) still sidelined, there will be some backup point guard minutes available for Goodwin. But he still isn't worth rostering right now, regardless of league format. 


Derrick Favors (right knee soreness) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Spurs. 


Jan 02   7:04 PM

Favors' best shot at fantasy relevance on most nights is starting center Rudy Gobert getting into early foul trouble. There's no reason for Favors to be rostered in standard leagues. 


Royce O'Neale (right knee contusion) is listed as probable for Sunday's game against the Spurs. 


Jan 02   7:04 PM

O'Neale is expected to be available, so look for him to occupy his usual spot in the starting lineup. While O'Neale isn't much of a scorer, he can be productive when it comes to assists and defensive stats. Feel free to leave him on the waiver wire. 


Xavier Tillman (left patellar tendinitis) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Lakers. 


Jan 02   7:04 PM

Tillman is unlikely to take on rotation minutes right away, so feel free to leave him on the waiver wire. 


Eric Gordon (sore knee) will play on Sunday against the Kings. 


Jan 02   4:45 PM

Gordon was listed as probable, so this was expected. The sore knee came after his debut on Thursday following a week-long quarantine. 


Greg Whittington (knee) won't play against the Timberwolves on Sunday.


Jan 02   4:45 PM

Whittington, a two-way player, can be kept on the waiver wire.


Javonte Green to miss multiple games due to health and safety protocols. 


Jan 02   3:55 PM

Green's played just 25 minutes across two games this season, scoring nine points with five rebounds and one assist. He doesn't have much fantasy impact when healthy, and his absence doesn't change the Celtics' rotation much.


Brandon Goodwin (left ankle) has been listed as questionable on Saturday for the Hawks matchup with the Cavs.


Jan 02   2:18 PM

Goodwin (ankle) played 16 minutes Friday but had just three points and three assists. And with Rajon Rondo (ankle) and Kris Dunn (ankle surgery) both out Saturday, too, these games become crucial for Goodwin to earn some minutes in the rotation, though he doesn't hold any fantasy value.


Tony Snell (right foot) won't play on Saturday as the Hawks take on the Cavs.


Jan 02   2:18 PM

Snell continues to battle inflammation in his right foot and does't hold any fantasy value.


Onyeka Okongwu (left foot) has been ruled out for Saturday night's matchup with the Cavs.


Jan 02   2:18 PM

Okongwu has been doing some light practice drills and could return soon. But even then, he won't do much for the fantasy game that makes him worth picking up on a loaded Hawks front court.


Rajon Rondo (left knee soreness) is out for the Hawks' game on Saturday vs the Cavs.


Jan 02   1:11 PM


Terrence Ross said his hamstring is feeling better, and that he will play on Saturday, per The Athletic's Josh Robbins.


Jan 02   12:02 PM

Ross (hamstring) will return after a quick one-game absence as the Magic host the Thunder on Saturday. Through four games, he's averaging 21 points on 52/44/94 shooting splits off the bench. We'd be surprised if kept that up over the course of the season, and he likely won't. But for now, he's a must-add in standard and deeper leagues. Though he doesn't do much aside from scoring.
