Gabe Vincent (ankle) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Nuggets.


Jan 26   8:16 PM

Vincent has been listed on the injury report quite often this season, but in many instances that has been due to knee soreness. The ankle injury is something new, so we'll have to wait and see if he can go Wednesday night. Kendrick Nunn has been a standout for the Heat recently, but the team's many absences on the perimeter means that Vincent will have his opportunities as well. 


Karl-Anthony Towns and Juancho Hernangomez (health and safety protocols) have been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Warriors. 


Jan 26   8:00 PM

Towns announced on January 15 that he had tested positive for COVID-19, and Hernangomez has also been in quarantine for an extended period of time. The absences preserve the fantasy values of Naz Reid and Jarred Vanderbilt, who have been quite productive in starting roles. Over the last week, both have been top-70 players in 9-cat formats. Reid is rostered in 33% of Yahoo leagues and Vanderbilt 17%, and now would be a good time to grab them off of the waiver wire. 


Dario Saric and Damian Jones (health and safety protocols) have been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Thunder. 


Jan 26   7:39 PM

Saric, who has been out since January 18, will miss at least one more game as he remains in quarantine. Some late-round value can be had when he's cleared, but it will likely take him a little time to shake off the rust. As for Jones, he can be left on the waiver wire once cleared to play. 


Marcus Morris (illness) will be available to play on Tuesday vs. in Atlanta.


Jan 26   7:06 PM

He's back after a one-game absence, and while he'll still be coming off the bench, he should see a significantly elevated role tonight with Paul George and Kawhi Leonard still in Los Angeles due to health and safety protocols. He's someone to consider grabbing as a streamer while those guys spend at least the next four games on the sidelines.


Raul Neto (groin) will play on Tuesday vs. the Rockets.


Jan 26   6:50 PM

He's back from a one-game absence, but it doesn't matter much with Russell Westbrook healthy. Neto belongs on the wire in most formats.


Nemanja Bjelica (back) is doubtful to play on Wednesday vs. the Magic.


Jan 26   6:33 PM

Whether he's cleared or not will be irrelevant considering he's been out of the rotation since early January.


Seth Curry (right ankle soreness) is probable for Wednesday's game against the Lakers.


Jan 26   6:33 PM

Curry must have tweaked his ankle in his return to action on Friday, but it doesn't look like it'll cost him any games. Check back for official confirmation on his status closer to tomorrow's tip.


Clint Capela (hand) is good to go for Tuesday'ss game against the Clippers.


Jan 26   6:17 PM

He's back in action following a one-game stint on the sidelines, and his return likely isn't great news for John Collins. Onyeka Okongwu will return to the second unit and he could be headed for a DNP-CD.


Danilo Gallinari (right ankle) will play on Tuesday vs. the Clippers.


Jan 26   6:17 PM

Gallinari randomly popped up on the injury report yesterday, which indicates that the Hawks may want to play it safe with him heading into this back-to-back set. If his minutes aren't monitored today, it's possible he'll skip Wednesday's matchup with the Nets. That said, he's good to go tonight, so feel free to fire him up.


Michael Carter-Williams (left foot) is questionable for Wednesday's game vs. Sacramento.


Jan 26   6:17 PM

He hasn't played since Jan. 4, so even if he's cleared, he'll likely have some restrictions. We don't anticipate him holding standard league value, even with Markelle Fultz (knee) done for the year.


Moe Harkless (thigh) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game vs. the Nuggets.


Jan 26   5:50 PM

This will be his second straight game on the sidelines, which could translate to another start for KZ Okpala, although Okpala remains a non-option in fantasy hoops even in a starting role.


Avery Bradley (COVID-protocol) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Nuggets.


Jan 26   5:50 PM

He hasn't played since Jan. 9, so even if he's cleared, he'll likely be on some minutes restrictions. He's not worth your attention.


Tyler Herro (neck) is being listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Nuggets.


Jan 26   5:50 PM

The neck injury has cost him six games, but it'll be interesting to see if he's cleared on Wednesday, with it being the first of a back-to-back. If he is able to get back out there, Andre Iguodala would lose some minutes and Kendrick Nunn's value would take a hit. Check back for another update following tomorrow's shootaround.


Hassan Whiteside (hip) said he's feeling good and he expects to be available for Wednesday's game vs. the Magic.


Jan 26   4:40 PM

Maybe he'll get 10 minutes tomorrow night, but as long as Richaun Holmes and Marvin Bagley are healthy, he won't see enough floor time to make an impact in fantasy hoops.


Dwight Powell (health and safety protocols) is expected to play in Wednesday's game vs. Utah, according to Mavs coach Rick Carlisle.


Jan 26   2:56 PM

Maxi Kleber still isn't with the team, but Dallas will finally welcome back some healthy rotation players with Powell, Dorian Finney-Smith and Josh Richardson all joining the team for a two-game trip to Utah. "It's great having them back on the floor ... it's three of our best defenders," Carlisle said. Powell has yet to benefit fantasy managers this season and we don't see that changing any time soon.


Deni Avdija (health and safety protocols) will not play vs. Houston on Tuesday.


Jan 26   2:56 PM

Davis Bertans, Troy Brown Jr., Rui Hachimura, Ish Smith and Moe Wagner are also out due to protocols, but the Wizards are still scheduled to play in Houston. Avdija has had ups and downs this season, but as a lottery pick on a bad team his rest-of-season outlook is fairly bright. Most fantasy managers can just keep an eye on him.


P.J. Dozier (right hamstring strain) will not play vs. the Heat on Wednesday.


Jan 26   2:56 PM

Dozier was running in transition when he pulled up short and limped into the locker room, so it's no surprise that he'll need to miss time with the injury. The severity of the strain is unclear but since he's being ruled out a day in advance, there's a chance he'll also miss Friday's game in San Antonio. His 19.4 minutes per game should get divvied up by Will Barton, Gary Harris and Michael Porter Jr.


Cam Reddish (right Achilles tightness) is questionable for Tuesday's game vs. the Clippers.


Jan 26   2:00 PM

Reddish was previously 'probable' for this game, so Atlanta may play it safe and rest him in the first half of this back-to-back set. He may be a true game-time decision, but whether or not he plays on Tuesday it doesn't sound like an ailment that will cost him extended time. Atlanta could simply be tagging him with an injury in order to rest him without being fined by the league.


Dorian Finney-Smith (health and safety protocols) is questionable for Wednesday's game vs. Utah.


Jan 26   2:00 PM

Finney-Smith is shooting just 41.5% this season, but he's hitting 1.8 three-pointers per game and is anchoring his fantasy appeal with 1.4 steals and 0.6 blocks. It's great to see him on the verge of returning from a nine-game absence, and he's worth considering for defensive stats if he manages to reach the 29.3 minutes per game he was averaging before Kristaps Porzingis' return.


Dwight Powell (health and safety protocols) is listed as 'questionable' for Wednesday's game vs. Utah.


Jan 26   2:00 PM

Maxi Kleber still isn't with the team, but Dallas will finally welcome back some healthy rotation players with Powell, Dorian Finney-Smith and Josh Richardson all joining the team for a two-game trip to Utah. Powell has yet to benefit fantasy managers this season, and we don't see that changing any time soon.
