We have had a crazy news day across sports and COVID-19 has run rampant through all of them.
Lauri Markkanen & Jakob Poeltl both entered health & safety protocols today, so hopefully both are OK and can get back to basketball soon.
Tobias Harris also has officially tested positive for the virus, so hopefully he is OK as well. With both Harris & Danny Green out..
- Tier 1: Joel Embiid, Seth Curry, Georges Niang
- Tier 2: Shake Milton, Matisse Thybulle, Furkan Korkmaz
Malcolm Brogdon is making his return tonight after a couple game absence.
Brandon Ingram, who's missed a few games in a row, is listed as questionable as his team is on a back-to-back. Herbert Jones has already been ruled out, which means Josh Hart should see a LOT of run tonight for the Pelicans.
Kristaps Porzingis' health means more to Jalen Brunson than it does Luka Doncic right now. Brunson will continue to start if Zinger is out & Doncic is simply too expensive for me right now.
D'Angelo Russell is OUT and Patrick Beverley is QUEST, but logged a full practice on Tuesday. Some revenge on Beverley's mind? He'd be a CORE play if he's in & starting.
The only other big news status we're awaiting is John Collins. If he sits, I expect ATL to use De'Andre Hunter to slide over to the PF spot and Cam Reddish likely starts. IF Collins sits..
- Tier 1: Clint Capela, Cam Reddish, Trae Young
- Tier 2: De'Andre Hunter, Bojan Bogdanovic, Kevin Huerter
IF Collins plays..
- Tier 1: Clint Capela
- Tier 2: Trae Young, Cam Reddish, John Collins
We have to monitor the Spurs center situation. Without Poeltl, Drew Eubanks is expected to start and is one of the highest projected rostered players of the slate (https://www.dfsalarm.com/nba/draftpercentage)!
