T. Horton-Tucker - SG

LAL

Talen Horton-Tucker is expected to have a larger role with the Lakers in his second NBA season.

Horton-Tucker rarely touched the floor his rookie season, but currently, the 34-year-old Wesley Matthews is the only guy ahead of him on the depth chart, so he'll certainly have the opportunity to establish himself as a more consistent role player for the Lakers this upcoming season. That said, it's unlikely he'll receive enough minutes to make an impact in most fantasy leagues.

Luka Samanic won't play on Saturday against the Rockets due to a sore throat.

Samanic has played just eight minutes this season. His absence won't change anything in terms of fantasy sports.

C. Reddish - SF

Cam Reddish is questionable to play on Saturday against the Portland Trail Blazers due to a left knee contusion.

With Bogan Bogdanovic and Danil Gallinari sidelined, the Hawks could really use Reddish on Saturday. If he can't give it a go, expect big minutes from Kevin Huerter, who ranks No. 122 in 9-cat leagues, and De'Andre Hunter. Brandon Goodwin should see some additional time, too.

T. Young - PG

Trae Young is probable to play on Saturday against the Trail Blazers with back tightness.

Young's really struggled early in the season, shooting 1-of-11 in his last game for just four points on Friday. Hopefully he can figure himself out against a weaker defensive backcourt in Portland.

J. Harden - SG

James Harden is available to play for the Nets on Saturday against the Magic.

The Rockets' trade finally went through in time for them to have just enough players (eight) to play on Saturday, and now Harden will be able to start his new life, too. Brooklyn won't get to play its full lineup, with Kyrie Irving still out, but Harden and Kevin Durant will begin their second tenure together.

S. Brown - SF

HOU

Sterling Brown won't play on Saturday due to a lower leg injury.

Brown was listed as a game-time call until the Rockets' trade with the Nets was finalized, allowing Rodions Kurucs to be on the active roster, and for Houston to have the required eight players to play a game. Without Brown, Eric Gordon, John Wall or Victor Oladipo, expect Mason Jones, Ben McLemore, David Nwaba, Jae'Sean Tate, P.J. Tucker and Christian Wood to all get their shots up. Wood will have the opportunity to take control of the offense, while everyone else's roles in the offense are boosted to the max. This is the NBA in 2021.

M. Jones - SG

HOU

The Rockets are starting Mason Jones, Ben McLemore, Jae'Sean Tate, P.J. Tucker and Christian Wood on Saturday against the Spurs.

The Rockets had so many players either tied up in a pending trade or injured that Saturday's game was in question until a trade was completed to make former Nets forward Rodions Kurucs available for Houston. Sterling Brown, who was a game-time decision due to a lower leg injury, is officially out, meaning Houston has exactly the required eight players to play. Jones might be a good DFS play, but he's a rookie who's played just 36 career minutes, totalling 19 points, eight rebounds, four assists, one steal and four turnovers across four games. Look for Tate, Tucker, McLemore and Wood to jack up shots in what could be a clunky Rockets game.

S. Brown - SF

HOU

Sterling Brown will be a game-time decision to play on Saturday against the Spurs, and without him the Rockets will only have seven active players.

The Rockets are missing the bulk of their team due to a pending trade involving James Harden, and injuries to John Wall, Eric Gordon and DeMarcus Cousins. If Brown can't give it a go, the Rockets would be down to seven players, and wouldn't have enough to play. If a game is played, expect extended run for Houston's remaining seven: Christian Wood, Mason Jones, Ben McLemore, David Nwaba, Jae'Sean Tate, and P.J. Tucker.

E. Gordon - SG

HOU

Eric Gordon won't play on Saturday against the Spurs due to left leg tightness.

The Rockets are in trouble, missing nearly half their roster due to injury or trade. The only guards Houston will have available are Ben McLemore, rookie Mason Jones and maybe Sterling Brown, who's a game-time decision to play. Jae'Sean Tate, David Nwaba and P.J. Tucker should get a lot of run, too.

J. Murray - PG

Jamal Murray says that he has a bruise on his elbow that bothers him every time he shoots a basketball.

“My elbow bothers me on every (shot)," Murray said. "I got a bruise there. Every game I seem to hit it or kinda tweak it again.” This explains a lot for Murray, one of the world's best shooters who has made just 15 out of his last 38 shots from the field. He's relatively underwhelmed for much of the season considering the leap most expected him to take after a hot run in the bubble. Look to see if Mike Malone chooses to rest him at some point to get his elbow fully right. Otherwise, he could continue to be a shell of himself on the floor.

D. Cousins - C

HOU

DeMarcus Cousins won't play on Saturday against the Spurs due to right ankle soreness.

Cousins hasn't made a huge fantasy impact this season, and his absence won't change too much. Christian Wood and P.J. Tucker will likely soak up his minutes.

M. Porter - PF

Michael Malone said he hopes to have Michael Porter Jr. (COVID-protocols) back by next Friday when the Nuggets begin a five-game road trip, per Chris Dempsey of Altitude Sports.

MPJ has been out for over a week now after testing positive for COVID-19, so it's a great sign for fantasy managers that he is nearing a return. He was averaging nearly 20 points, seven rebounds, one steal and 1.5 blocks prior to his quarantine period, and the Nuggets could surely use him back in their lineup.

A. Horford - C

OKC

Al Horford (personal reasons) is doubtful for Sunday when the Thunder host the Sixers.

Horford is set to miss his second straight game as he tends to issues off the court. Isaiah Roby has started in his place in the last two games, totaling 25 points, 13 rebounds and seven assists making him a decent waiver-wire add whenever Horford sits games.
