Derrick Favors (knee) saw 15 minutes off the bench on Sunday, recording three points, one rebound, one assist, two steals and one block in a win over the Nuggets.
Favors can only be considered a low-end, shot-blocking specialist in 20-team leagues, but as long as Rudy Gobert is healthy, Favors won't be worth rostering in the vast majority of leagues. Gobert double-doubles in the win with 15 points (4-of-5 FG, 7-of-13 FT), 13 rebounds, one assist, two blocks and one turnover in 33 minutes.
Jalen Lecque is active for Sunday's game against the Clippers.
Lecque isn't expected to have much of an impact for the Pacers.
Brian Bowen is available to play on Sunday against the Clippers.
Bowen isn't expected to have an impact in Indiana's rotation. He hasn't played yet this season.
JaKarr Sampson won't play on Sunday against the Clippers due to back soreness.
Sampson has slowly worked himself into the rotation, but he'll join Myles Turner in sitting out on Sunday. Without T.J. Warren, the Pacers are running short-handed. Doug McDermott could be in line for big minutes and could be a solid DFS choice.
Ivica Zubac will move into the starting lineup for Sunday's matchup with the Pacers, with Serge Ibaka unavailable.
Zubac could be someone to consider as a DFS punt play or deep league streamer with the spot-start, although it's not a particularly good matchup for him.
The Wizards have waived Anzejs Pasecniks.
He wasn't able to get into the rotation even after Thomas Bryant (knee) went down, but now the Wizards will be able to add another guy, as they currently only have 14 guaranteed contracts on the books with the waiving of Pasecniks.
Hassan Whiteside (left hip soreness) has been ruled out Sunday vs the Pelicans.
The Kings back-up center will missed his second straight game as he deals with a sore left hip. Marvin Bagley (left wrist) has been cleared to play and should get more minutes tonight barring a set back.
C.J. McCollum (left foot sprain) will not play Monday vs. the Spurs.
It's still unclear how long the sprain might keep McCollum on the shelf. Being ruled out a day in advance isn't a great sign and the Blazers' will be cautious, but for now managers can consider him questionable for Wednesday's home game vs. the Grizzlies. Gary Trent Jr., Rodney Hood and Anfernee Simons should all gain a bit in C.J.'s absence, with Trent Jr. and Hood standing out as possible DFS plays -- we'll keep an eye on the Blazers' lineup to see who starts alongside Dame on Monday.
Trey Burke played 30 minutes off the Mavs' bench on Sunday, scoring five points with four rebounds, one assist and one steal.
Tim Hardaway Jr. (left groin strain) was unavailable tonight due to injury, while Josh Richardson, Dorian Finney-Smith, Maxi Kleber, Dwight Powell and Jalen Brunson were all out for health and safety protocols. That left plenty of extra minutes for Burke, who served as the Mavs' de facto sixth man on Sunday. It's not a role he'll enjoy when Dallas gets more players in the lineup.
Kristaps Porzingis scored 20 points on 9-of-19 shooting vs. the Bulls on Sunday, adding eight rebounds and two blocks in 33 minutes of action.
KP's fantasy managers have to be overjoyed with the rapid increase in his playing time, as his surgically-repaired knee has obviously responded well to live-game action over the past week. There were signs of rust with five personal fouls and an 0-of-7 mark from deep, but he committed zero turnovers and looks fine getting up and down the court. He might miss the second half of this back-to-back set on Monday, though, so we'll add him to the injury report as a simple precaution. The Mavs have another back-to-back looming on Friday/Saturday, and if he does sit out it could trim his four-game week down to two games.
Ryan Arcidiacono was back in the Bulls' rotation on Sunday, scoring four points with four rebounds and five assists in 17 minutes.
Arcidiacono missed extended time due to the league's health and safety protocols, but he looked good tonight and bumped Denzel Valentine from the rotation. There are at most 15-20 minutes at Arci's disposal, so it'll be hard for him to make an impact outside of deep leagues.
Zach LaVine was quiet on Sunday with a season-low 10 points in 31 minutes, making 8-of-8 free throws but just 1-of-8 field goals.
LaVine came in averaging 38.3 minutes in January but he finally got some rest with Garrett Temple and Ryan Arcidiacono playing well with the second unit on Sunday. The assists were also a season high for LaVine, and he added three steals with only two turnovers to make up for the low scoring and total lack of rebounds.
Otto Porter (back spasms) played 23 minutes vs. the Mavs on Sunday, scoring 14 points on 7-of-10 shooting with nine rebounds, two assists and one steal.
Porter Jr. has had a few bright moments this season, including a 28-point, 12-rebound gem on Dec. 31. Unfortunately, he hasn't scored double-digit points in his past four games and his role is even more precarious now that Lauri Markkanen (health and safety protocols) is back in action. OPJ has enough across-the-board appeal to stay rostered in 8-cat and 9-cat leagues, but he's a fringe option in most points-league formats.
Cameron Payne (right ankle) is questionable for Monday's game vs. the Grizzlies.
Payne hasn't played since Feb. 8 but his absence hasn't impacted many fantasy rosters, as he's averaging a modest 7.7 points and 4.3 assists in 17.8 minutes. He's provided a welcome spark for the Suns' second unit but doesn't have reliable value while Chris Paul is healthy.
Alex Len (health & safety) has been ruled out for Monday's game vs the Mavs.
Len missed the last two games after originally being tagged out for "personal reasons" but on Sunday, he's listed with health and safety protocols next to his name, meaning he's either out due to contact tracing or worse, a positive test, though there's no reports on one just yet.
Rick Carlisle said he expects to get Jalen Brunson back on Monday vs the Raptors, reports ESPN's Tim MacMahon.
"I have no idea in the world why he wasn't able to play today," Carlisle said, adding that Brunson has tested negative every day since quarantining. Based on that statement from the Mavs coach, it seems like Brunson was supposed to play on Sunday but for some reason he wasn't cleared to. Dallas could have used him, too, as they lost 117-101 to the Bulls. But the back-up point guard should suit up Monday against Toronto.
Josh Okogie (hamstring) is listed as probable to play on Monday vs the Hawks.
Okogie was probable for Friday's game but it ended up getting postponed due to Karl-Anthony Towns' positive test. He should be good to go on Monday, though his fantasy stock has very little value at the moment.
Ricky Rubio won't play vs. the Hawks on Monday due to health and safety protocols.
This is Rubio's second straight game out of the lineup and it's unclear if he'll be subject to a seven-day quarantine or a full 10-14 day self-isolation. Either way, we'll see plenty of D'Angelo Russell on Monday with Malik Beasley also picking up extra slack as a playmaker.
Jeff Teague went scoreless in 17 minutes off the bench, going 0-of-4 with two rebounds, two assists and a steal in the Celtics loss.
Teague returned to his reserve role after starting on Friday as Kemba Walker made his season debut for the Celtics. Even in deep leagues, the veteran point guard isn't worth holding onto because rookie Payton Pritchard has earned a spot in the rotation and has been more consistent than him this season.
Cam Reddish (left knee contusion) is questionable for Monday's game vs. the Wolves.
Reddish sat out Saturday's game with Kevin Huerter getting the start in his place. The 'questionable' tag doesn't tell us much, so fantasy managers will need to check for updates after Atlanta's shootaround on Monday. If he's out, Huerter and De'Andre Hunter get a substantial boost.
