J. Harden - SG

HOU

James Harden may travel to Orlando with Russell Westbrook (COVID-19) in the near future.

According to Shams Charania of The Athletic, Harden is "feeling fine" and has been working out to stay ready for the season. Westbrook is already on the mend and the Rockets are "optimistic" to have their two star players in Orlando sooner rather than later.

K. Leonard - SF

LAC

Kawhi Leonard said that he's feeling good as he gets ready for the NBA re-start.

“I mean, I feel good,” Leonard said of his health on Monday. “You know, was able to work out, get strong and prepare for this moment now that we’re in." He should be feeling fine given all the rest he received during the regular season, and while the Clippers won't say it outright, he's very likely to receive a rest day during the Clippers back-to-back set on August 8-9. When Kawhi hits the sidelines, Paul George will make for a very attractive DFS target and Lou Williams will gain some value.

T. Bryant - C

Troy Brown indicated that Thomas Bryant (COVID-19) will join the Wizards in Orlando soon.

“He’ll be back with us in a little while,” Brown said. “The biggest thing is making sure he’s OK.” It's unclear if Bryant is asymptomatic, but we do know that the stress fracture in his foot is no longer an issue with Bryant calling himself "100 percent" in early July. With the Wizards focusing on player development, we expect to see a lot of both Bryant and Moe Wagner in Orlando. Coach Scott Brooks has said that he wants to see some improvement from Bryant as a rim protector, so that's something to watch for.

E. Sumner - PG

IND

Edmond Sumner, who has been dealing with knee soreness since his final year in college, said the time off has been great for his health.

“This is probably the best I’ve felt, especially [with my] knee,” he said. “The training staff say this is the best they’ve been treating my knee.” Sumner suffered a broken hand just three games into the season but did have some head-turning moments that showed the Pacers that he has some potential -- he averaged 11.5 points, 3.0 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.5 steals in two games vs. the Bulls and Heat before Victor Oladipo made his season debut. Sumner is a player to monitor if Oladipo misses time during the restart.

K. Caldwell-Pope - SG

LAL

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope is expected to start for Avery Bradley during the restart, after Bradley opted out.

The Lakers were 17-3 in games this season where KCP started over Bradley and that fact wasn't lost on coach Frank Vogel. "Kentavious did a phenomenal job when Avery was injured earlier in the season," he said. "That's really where I'm at in terms of what the starting lineup will look like."

V. Oladipo - SG

IND

Shams Charania is reporting that Victor Oladipo (knee) and the Pacers have had a change of heart and he is now leaning toward playing for the Pacers in the restart of the season in Orlando.

Oladipo's had several strong practices and has been fully participating in 5-of-5 scrimmages. He appeared to be pretty upset when he announced he was opting out on July 3, and while his return is not official, it does sound like we'll see Oladipo playing for the Pacers in the bubble soon. And if it happens, Aaron Holiday, T.J. McConnell and Justin Holiday will all take a hit.

R. Rondo - PG

LAL

Rajon Rondo has left the Orlando bubble to have thumb surgery but the Lakers expect him to be back at some point in the playoffs.

NBA seeding games will run through the middle of August, which is over a month from now and Rondo's timetable is 6-8 weeks. There's a decent chance we'll see him at some point in the postseason, but it looks like we'll see plenty of LeBron James, Alex Caruso, Quinn Cook and Dion Waiters running the point, while Anthony Davis and Kyle Kuzma might have some added responsibility, as well. “We are confident that he’ll be able to get back and be a major factor for us in our playoff run,” coach Frank Vogel said of Rondo on Monday.

R. Holmes - C

SAC

Richaun Holmes broke quarantine while picking up a food delivery and he now must quarantine an additional 10 days.

The NBA is taking their bubble at Disney very seriously, so Holmes stepping off the campus for even a minor thing will result in a 10-day quarantine. He should be fine for the re-start of the NBA season, though.
