T. Fall - C

BOS

Tacko Fall (left ankle sprain) has been downgraded to out for Sunday's game against the Knicks.

Fall was unlikely to be a rotation player with the Celtics returning many of their key contributors, so he wasn't worth rostering if cleared to play. Leave the fan favorite on the waiver wire.

K. Walker - PG

BOS

Kemba Walker will play no more than 20 minutes in Sunday's game vs. the Knicks, according to Celtics coach Brad Stevens.

The minutes limit was to be expected, as Walker will be making his 2020-21 season debut Sunday afternoon at Madison Square Garden. Backups Jeff Teague and Payton Pritchard will see their fantasy values take a hit, and it will only get worse for them as Walker's minutes increase moving forward.

N/A

A. Drummond - C

CLE

Cavaliers GM Koby Altman told Andre Drummond that his role in the rotation won't change following the acquisition of Jarrett Allen.

Allen and Taurean Prince were acquired from the Nets as part of the four-team deal headlined by James Harden, giving Cleveland two (relatively) young but experienced players to help with the team's rebuild. How does the addition of Allen change things in the middle? Not at all, as far as Drummond is concerned. "We value what he brings to the table," Altman said according to The Athletic. "We value his force, energy, work ethic and his availability, to be quite frank with you. I think he’s going to be a huge help. His role doesn’t change. Be the same enthusiastic starting center for us that you’ve been and help our guys continue to grow." The center who will take a hit is JaVale McGee, who is playing just under 17 minutes per game. Look for Allen to ultimately take over as the backup center.

T. Prince - SF

CLE

The Cavaliers believe that recent acquisition Taurean Prince will given them another capable 3-and-D wing, along with Isaac Okoro and Cedi Osman.

While Cleveland has a surplus of big men, the team was a bit lacking on the wings before getting involved in the four-team trade centered around James Harden. GM Koby Altman was able to add Prince and Jarrett Allen to the roster, and in the case of the former the Cavaliers believe that he can help at both the three and the four. "He’s 6-7, he’s tough, can switch multiple positions," Altman said of Prince. "But I think he’s gonna be able to be multidimensional for us on the defensive end and fit right in as a spacer on the offensive end." Prince's numbers in Brooklyn this season weren't great, but the move to Cleveland gives him a better shot at becoming a relevant fantasy option.

D. Theis - C

BOS

Daniel Theis (middle finger sprain) is available to play in Sunday's game against the Knicks.

Theis' injury didn't appear to be too serious, and it's likely that he will be in the starting lineup Sunday afternoon. He's worth utilizing in deeper leagues, but there isn't enough production to justify rostering Theis in standard or shallow formats.

K. Walker - PG

BOS

Kemba Walker (left knee) is available to play in Sunday's game against the Knicks.

Walker has yet to play in a game this season, but that appears likely to change Sunday afternoon. He was a full participant in practices on Thursday and Saturday, setting the stage for his season debut in his hometown. Walker will likely be on a minutes limit, so don't expect too much in the way of fantasy production.

L. Shamet - SG

BKN

Landry Shamet shot 2-of-4 from the field in Saturday's win over the Magic, tallying five points, one rebound, one steal and one 3-pointer in 17 minutes.

Shamet hasn't been a great fantasy option, as he currently ranks outside of the top-300 in both 8- and 9-cat formats. Hopefully the addition of James Harden, and the eventual return of Kyrie Irving, will result in him getting a few more clean looks. But at this rate, Shamet could be in danger of falling completely out of the Nets rotation. There's no need to pick him up.

Added 10:32 am (EST)

N/A

T. Luwawu-Cabarrot - SG

BKN

Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot played 24 minutes in Saturday's win over the Magic, accounting for three points (1-of-4 FGs), two rebounds and one 3-pointer.

Luwawu-Cabarrot remains a part of the Nets rotation, as his defense and athleticism can be useful on the wing. But it isn't enough to make him a relevant fantasy player, as he isn't going to get many scoring opportunities on most nights. At best, Luwawu-Cabarrot is worth keeping in mind if the Nets are hit hard by injuries and/or health and safety protocol absences.
