D. Jordan - C

BKN

DeAndre Jordan will start over Jarrett Allen against the Bulls on Sunday.

In the first game post-Kenny Atkinson, Jordan gets the starting nod. There were some reports about players, namely Kyrie Irving, Kevin Durant and Jordan, being unhappy that Allen continued to start over the veteran. Interim head coach Jacque Vaughn has given in to that plea, at least for today.

H. Whiteside - C

SAC

Hassan Whiteside's injury is a strained left hip flexor, and he's considered day-to-day.

An MRI confirmed Whiteside's injury wasn't more serious than anticipated, and he should return soon, which is great news. Still, Marvin Bagley and Richaun Holmes are the only Sacramento bigs worth rostering for now.

C. Hutchison - SF

CHI

Chandler Hutchison expects to be available on Friday for his first game of 2021 after recovering from COVID-19.

Hutchison and Tomas Satoransky both haven't played yet in the new year since testing positive for the virus. Hutchison compared his bout to a "rough flu." It's unclear if either of the players will be on any type of minutes restriction, but the Bulls could need them on Friday with Otto Porter Jr. (back), Patrick Williams (hip), and Wendell Carter Jr.'s (thigh) statuses all up in the air.

W. Carter - C

CHI

Wendell Carter Jr. left practice early on Wednesday due to a thigh bruise.

It's unclear how serious the injury is, but Carter Jr.'s status for the Bulls' game on Friday is in question. Chicago could also be without Patrick Williams (hip), and Otto Porter Jr. (back strain). The bright side for the Bulls is that Tomas Satoransky and Chandler Hutchison are on track to play their first game in 2021 after recovering from COVID-19. Check back closer to game-time for a better assessment on what the minute-distribution might be on Friday, but a lot of the scoring load could be on Zach LaVine and Lauri Markkanen to pick up.

P. Williams - PF

CHI

Patrick Williams ran but did not practice on Wednesday, just two days after being ruled out of a game due to hip stiffness.

It's unclear if Williams will play in the Bulls' next game on Friday, but Chicago could have both Tomas Satoransky and Chandler Hutchison (COVID-19) back in the lineup for the first time in 2021. Check back closer to game-time, as we wait to see if either will have a minutes-restriction and if Otto Porter (back strain) will play. Wendell Carter Jr. also left practice on Wednesday with a thigh bruise, and his availability is in question.

CHI

Tomas Satoransky and Chandler Hutchison both practiced on Wednesday, and are on track to return Friday against the Hornets.

This is a big step forward for Satoransky and Hutchison, who are both recovering from COVID-19 and haven't played since December 29th. Billy Donovan said both are on track to return to play in the Bulls' next game on Friday against the Hornets, though it's unclear if either will be on a minutes-restriction.

P. Washington - PF

CHA

P.J. Washington will play on Friday against the Bulls despite tweaking his ankle in practice on Tuesday.

Washington ranks just inside the top-100 players in 9-cat leagues and is having a strong season for the Hornets. He's averaging 12.9 points, 1.2 3-pointers, 7.1 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 1.4 blocks, and 0.9 steals per game.

Terence Davis is probable to play through a right hip contusion on Wednesday against the Heat.

Davis is a deep rotation contributor for the Raptors, averaging 7.0 points, 1.5 rebounds, 1.0 assists, and 1.1 made 3-pointers in 12.1 minutes per game. He's not a top fantasy player and can be left on the waiver wire.

Sterling Brown (leg) is available to play on Wednesday against the Suns.

Brown's missed the last two games with the injury, but he'll return to a much different Rockets team. His spot in the rotation is a lot less clear with Victor Oladipo playing the same position.

J. Tatum - PF

BOS

Brad Stevens says Jayson Tatum will be back on the court practicing in Boston on Wednesday, and there's a 50/50 chance he'll play on Friday against the Sixers.

Tatum hasn't played since January 8th after testing positive for COVID-19, and he's not in Philadelphia on Wednesday, where the Celtics are playing against the Sixers. Though Tatum's been out for nearly two weeks, that's only meant missing three games due to another three being postponed. If Tatum returns on Friday, it's unclear if he'll be on a minutes-restriction, but he'll likely cut into Semi Ojeleye and Grant Williams' playing time.

S. Curry - SG

PHI

Seth Curry won't play on Wednesday after being cleared from health and safety protocol due to reconditioning.

Curry was cleared after testing positive for COVID-19 and wasn't originally listed on the injury report, leading us to believe he'd play, but that's changed. The team wants to condition him so he's game-ready again after not playing for two weeks. For now, the red-hot Shake Milton has the 2-guard spot to himself. It'll be interesting to see what happens when Curry returns.

E. Fournier - SG

ORL

Evan Fournier (back spasms) will play on Wednesday against the Timberwolves for the first time since December 31st.

The Magic, who are going through a six-game losing streak, need Fournier back in the lineup, especially after losing Markelle Fultz for the season. Fournier's likely to be on a minutes restriction, though it's unclear what that will look like. His return also means either Dwayne Bacon or James Ennis are likely to return to the bench.
