E. Brand - PF

PHI

76ers GM Elton Brand has met with "several top candidates" for the franchise’s head coach opening and the team expects to bring a shortlist of candidates to Philly within 10 days for the next round of interviews, Shams Charania of The Athletic reported.

"Former Rockets coach Mike D’Antoni, ex-Thunder coach Billy Donovan and Clippers assistant Ty Lue are expected to be part of the next round of interviews and are strongly vying for and interested in the position," Shams adds. Brand is on the record saying that he doesn't intend to trade Ben Simmons or Joel Embiid so they'll be looking to bring in someone who could maximize their talents while upgrading the rest of the rotation after they were exposed in the playoffs.

D. McDermott - PF

IND

Doug McDermott will get the spot-start on Sunday vs. the Clippers with Myles Turner (hand) unavailable.

He'll be joined in the first unit by the usuals: Malcolm Brogdon, Edmond Sumner, Justin Holiday and Domantas Sabonis. If you need to stream some triples tonight, McDermott could be your guy.

J. Sampson - SF

IND

JaKarr Sampson won't play on Sunday against the Clippers due to back soreness.

Sampson has slowly worked himself into the rotation, but he'll join Myles Turner in sitting out on Sunday. Without T.J. Warren, the Pacers are running short-handed. Doug McDermott could be in line for big minutes and could be a solid DFS choice.

G. Bitadze - C

IND

Goga Bitadze (right ankle) will be available to play on Sunday vs. the Clippers.

Both Myles Turner (hand) and JaKarr Sampson (back) will be on the sidelines tonight, so Goga could be making his regular-season debut tonight, although we wouldn't anticipate a ton of minutes coming off the ankle injury. He could be worth a dice roll in DFS, but it's risky.

N. Alexander-Walker - SG

NOP

Nickeil Alexander-Walker will remain with the starters for Sunday's game vs. the Kings, and Josh Hart will come off the bench.

Eric Bledsoe is back with the first unit today, and it'll be NAW, Brandon Ingram, Zion Williamson and Steven Adams rounding at the starters. Hart should still see quality minutes with the reserves, but he's a bit too inconsistent for standard leagues. NAW is someone to consider streaming.

S. Ibaka - C

LAC

Serge Ibaka is out for Sunday night's game against the Pacers, and Ivica Zubac will start in his place.

Ibaka is out due to an illness that is not COVID-19. Zubac should play major minutes in his absence and could be a valuable DFS option, though he'll have a tough matchup against Domanas Sabonis.

I. Zubac - C

LAC

Ivica Zubac will move into the starting lineup for Sunday's matchup with the Pacers, with Serge Ibaka unavailable.

Zubac could be someone to consider as a DFS punt play or deep league streamer with the spot-start, although it's not a particularly good matchup for him.

L. Williams - SG

LAC

Lou Williams won't play on Sunday against the Pacers due to a left hip injury.

This will be Williams' second missed game due to the injury, though Patrick Beverley (personal) will return. Beverley's likely to see increased opportunities, along with Luke Kennard. Kennard scored 14 points on 6-of-8 shooting (two 3-pointers), with six assists and five rebounds in 30 minutes on Friday.

P. Beverley - PG

LAC

Patrick Beverley (personal) will be available to play on Sunday vs. the Pacers.

He wasn't even on the injury report today, and now that we know he's available, it's probably safe to assume that Reggie Jackson will be heading back to the second unit tonight. Go ahead and get Beverley active.

A. Pasecniks - C

The Wizards have waived Anzejs Pasecniks.

He wasn't able to get into the rotation even after Thomas Bryant (knee) went down, but now the Wizards will be able to add another guy, as they currently only have 14 guaranteed contracts on the books with the waiving of Pasecniks.

E. Bledsoe - PG

NOP

Stan Van Gundy said Eric Bledsoe will start on Sunday vs the Kings.

Bledsoe came off the bench on Friday when he returned from an eye injury and he struggled, scoring just seven points in 21 minutes. SVG will re-insert him backing in the starting unit, however, and said he'll determine which of Josh Hart and Nickeil Alexander-Walker will join him before the game. Bledsoe's fantasy manager can relax for now unless the guard has another bad game.
