Jake Layman did not see any action in Wednesday's loss to the Magic. 


Jan 20   11:23 PM

Layman, who missed time last week due to personal reasons, has picked up a DNP-CD in each of the two games that Minnesota has played since he has returned. There's no reasons to roster him in any format, as Layman appears to be behind both Jarrett Culver and Jaden McDaniels in the second unit pecking order. 


Marvin Bagley (wrist) is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game vs. the Clippers, as expected.


Jan 20   10:00 PM

Joining Bagley in the starting unit will be De'Aaron Fox, Buddy Hield, Harrison Barnes and Richaun Holmes. Hassan Whiteside (hip) is out tonight, so that should help Bagley get quality minutes.


Andrew Wiggins (knee) is active on Wednesday. 


Jan 20   10:00 PM

As expected, it looks like he's good to go tonight so don't be afraid to put him in your lineup. 


Nemanja Bjelica (personal reasons) will not play in Wednesday's game against the Clippers. 


Jan 20   10:00 PM

Bjelica fell completely out of the rotation just over a week ago, and he's been a DNP-CD in each of the team's last four games. Luke Walton did say earlier this week that he would return to the rotation at some point, but it is anyone's guess as to when. "There is some personal stuff and I'm just going to leave it at that," Walton said ahead of Wednesday's game when asked about Bjelica's absence. "We have been in communication and we are very confident in the player he is still. But we won't see him again tonight." Bjelica not being with the team has no impact fantasy-wise, as he was already out of the rotation. 


Serge Ibaka (illness) is back in the starting five for the Clippers on Wednesday night. 


Jan 20   10:00 PM

Kawhi Leonard, Nicolas Batum, Paul George and Patrick Beverley will join Ibaka in the starting unit against the Kings tonight. 


Moe Wagner has been ruled out for Friday due to health and safety protocols.


Jan 20   8:58 PM

He won't be alone as the Wizards will be without Ish Smith, Rui Hachimura, Troy Brown, Deni Avdija and Davis Bertans against the Bucks. 


Deni Avdija (healthy and safety protocols) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Bucks. 


Jan 20   8:58 PM

He'll be joined by several teammates, including Russell Westbrook who is out again with a quad injury. 


Davis Bertans (health and safety protocols) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Bucks. 


Jan 20   8:58 PM

Deni Avdija, Troy Brown Jr., Rui Hachimura, Ish Smith and Moe Wagner will join him in street clothes and health protocols. 


Troy Brown Jr. (health protocols) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Bucks. 


Jan 20   8:58 PM

Add TBJ to the long list of Wizards out due to protocols. Anyone still in uniform for the Wizards on Friday will be worth a look in fantasy, while Bradley Beal should go nuts. 


Rui Hachimura will join several Wizards teammates in street clothes on Friday due to health and safety protocols.


Jan 20   8:58 PM

In addition to Hachimura, Deni Avdija, Davis Bertans, Troy Brown Jr., Ish Smith and Moe Wagner will all be out, as well as Russell Westbrook, who's dealing with a quad injury. 


Ish Smith (health protocols) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Bucks. 


Jan 20   8:58 PM

Smith will join several teammates on the bench and Raul Neto is going to be a very popular play on Friday in all formats. 


Jontay Porter (knee) has been ruled out for Friday.


Jan 20   8:58 PM

He's yet to play in a game this season and he won't offer fantasy value.


Cameron Payne (right ankle) will be available to play vs. Houston on Wednesday.


Jan 20   8:58 PM

He'll be out there for minutes in the teens, which isn't enough floor time to impact fantasy hoops in a real way.


Hassan Whiteside (left hip) won't play on Wednesday. 


Jan 20   8:58 PM

Richaun Holmes and Marvin Bagley should get all the minutes they can handle tonight, while Whiteside will be day-to-day until further notice. 


Danuel House (protocols) won't play on Wednesday against the Suns, and won't play until Tuesday at the earliest.


Jan 20   8:02 PM

House and John Wall both won't play during this road trip, which concludes with games against the Pistons and Mavericks on Saturday and Sunday. It sounds like Tuesday against the Wizards at home is the earliest possible return date for either.  Stephen Silas says the team is being cautious with both guys, which makes sense for a group trying to start a new era after James Harden.


Joel Embiid is in the starting lineup for the Sixers on Wednesday along with Ben Simmons, Tyrese Maxey, Danny Green, and Tobias Harris against the Celtics.


Jan 20   7:03 PM

Embiid wasn't on the injury report, so this was expected. He missed the last two games due to right knee pain but should have an easier time against the Celtics with Jayson Tatum out, Kemba Walker on a minutes restriction, and Robert Williams in his first game back from protocol. 


Doug McDermott will enter the starting lineup on Wednesday vs. the Mavericks. 


Jan 20   7:03 PM

Myles Turner (hand) is out, but is only day-to-day. McDermott has been playing out of his mind lately and is coming off a 23-point game with five triples, so he's worth a look as a streamer until he cools off. 


Gabe Vincent (right knee soreness) is available for Wednesday vs. the Pistons. 


Jan 20   6:46 PM

His window for fantasy value is quickly closing as he played just nine minutes in his last game. Leave him on the wire. 


JaKarr Sampson (back) is available to play on Wednesday against the Mavericks. 


Jan 20   6:46 PM

Sampson missed the Pacers' last two games with the injury but will be able to play on Wednesday. Indiana needs him with Myles Turner and T.J. Warren sidelined. Sampson isn't expected to be a big factor for fantasy managers. 


Cam Reddish (left knee contusion) has been officially ruled out for Wednesday vs. the Pistons. 


Jan 20   6:46 PM

The Hawks downgraded Cam from questionable to doubtful, but re-evaluated him before tip-off to make sure. This will be his third straight absence but he remains day-to-day and could be back on Friday.
