J. Nurkic - C

POR

Jusuf Nurkic expects to play some power forward in Orlando.

That almost certainly refers to playing alongside Hassan Whiteside, who leads the NBA in blocks per game (3.1) and is second in rebounds (14.2). Nurk hasn't played since March 2019, but the Blazers reportedly won't have him on any minute-limit. If he starts alongside Zach Collins and gets some overlapping minutes with Whiteside, his playing time should fall in the 24-30 range, depending on conditioning.

G. Vincent - PG

MIA

Gabe Vincent (ankle) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Nuggets.

Vincent has been listed on the injury report quite often this season, but in many instances that has been due to knee soreness. The ankle injury is something new, so we'll have to wait and see if he can go Wednesday night. Kendrick Nunn has been a standout for the Heat recently, but the team's many absences on the perimeter means that Vincent will have his opportunities as well.

K. Towns - C

MIN

Karl-Anthony Towns and Juancho Hernangomez (health and safety protocols) have been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Warriors.

Towns announced on January 15 that he had tested positive for COVID-19, and Hernangomez has also been in quarantine for an extended period of time. The absences preserve the fantasy values of Naz Reid and Jarred Vanderbilt, who have been quite productive in starting roles. Over the last week, both have been top-70 players in 9-cat formats. Reid is rostered in 33% of Yahoo leagues and Vanderbilt 17%, and now would be a good time to grab them off of the waiver wire.

D. Russell - PG

MIN

D'Angelo Russell (quad contusion) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Warriors.

Russell was held out of Monday's loss to the Warriors, which freed up a spot in the starting lineup for Ricky Rubio. Rubio's fantasy value would take a hit if Russell is cleared to play, and Jordan McLaughlin would drop out of the rotation. McLaughlin served as the backup point guard Monday night.

J. Culver - SG

MIN

Jarrett Culver (left ankle sprain) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game vs. the Warriors.

With Culver set to be watching from the sidelines tomorrow night, and D'Angelo Russell (quad — questionable) potentially joining him, we should see a lot of Ricky Rubio and Malik Beasley tomorrow night. After Wednesday's game the Wolves will play again on Friday vs. the 76ers, and for now we'll be considering Culver questionable for that one.

D. Saric - PF

PHX

Dario Saric and Damian Jones (health and safety protocols) have been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Thunder.

Saric, who has been out since January 18, will miss at least one more game as he remains in quarantine. Some late-round value can be had when he's cleared, but it will likely take him a little time to shake off the rust. As for Jones, he can be left on the waiver wire once cleared to play.

D. Booker - SG

PHX

Devin Booker (left hamstring strain) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Thunder.

After Booker suffered the injury during Friday's loss to the Nuggets, coach Monty Williams said that he could miss up to a full week. Hopefully the talented guard will be able to return sooner rather than later, and his absence frees up additional scoring opportunities for Cameron Johnson.

T. Young - PG

ATL

Trae Young (back), Clint Capela (hand), John Collins, De'Andre Hunter and Kevin Huerter will start Tuesday's game against the Clippers.

No surprise here, as Young, Capela and Danilo Gallinari (ankle) were all cleared to play Tuesday afternoon. Rajon Rondo and Onyeka Okongwu are back with the second unit, and their already-low fantasy values take a hit as a result. De'Andre Hunter and John Collins won't have the ball in their hands as much with Young returning to the lineup, but their fantasy values will be fine.

D. Rose - PG

DET

Derrick Rose (left knee) practice on Tuesday and is expected to be good to go for Wednesday's game vs. Cleveland.

Rose will be back in action following a two-game stint on the sidelines tomorrow night, and he should see a bit of a usage bump with Blake Griffin (rest) taking the night off. Delon Wright has actually looked pretty good over the past few games, so it'll be interesting to see if he can keep it up with Rose back in the rotation.

N/A

M. Morris - PF

LAC

Marcus Morris (illness) will be available to play on Tuesday vs. in Atlanta.

He's back after a one-game absence, and while he'll still be coming off the bench, he should see a significantly elevated role tonight with Paul George and Kawhi Leonard still in Los Angeles due to health and safety protocols. He's someone to consider grabbing as a streamer while those guys spend at least the next four games on the sidelines.

A. Gill - PF

WAS

Anthony Gill will be in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rockets, which will result in Jerome Robinson heading to the second unit.

Gill has logged a total of 23 minutes across five games this year, so it's interesting to see him get the start, particularly with Robinson coming off a solid 16-point performance. Joining Gill in the starting unit tonight will be Russell Westbrook, Bradley Beal, Isaac Bongo and Robin Lopez.

Raul Neto (groin) will play on Tuesday vs. the Rockets.

He's back from a one-game absence, but it doesn't matter much with Russell Westbrook healthy. Neto belongs on the wire in most formats.

V. Oladipo - SG

HOU

Victor Oladipo (quad) will be back in the starting unit on Tuesday vs. the Wizards, sending Eric Gordon back to the second unit.

Oladipo received a rest day on Saturday, but he'll be back in action tonight and will be joined in the first unit by John Wall, Jae'Sean Tate, PJ Tucker and DeMarcus Cousins. Gordon should still see quality minutes with the second unit, so he'll be fine. Go ahead and get Vic active.
