C. Wood - PF

HOU

Rockets coach Stephen Silas will keep the team's "five-out offense," according to newly-signed center Christian Wood.

"With me, with my ability being able to shoot the ball, I think it's perfect," he said. "It's a great fit, with James [Harden] hopefully in the pick-and-roll, we can do great things." Wood shot over 40% from deep as a starter last season, and he's in position to thrive as Houston's starting center. Dual trade requests from Harden and Russell Westbrook still hang over the team, but Wood should be a fantasy darling no matter what Houston's roster looks like at the end of the season.

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.

N. Noel - C

NYK

Nerlens Noel (lower back soreness) is probable for Sunday's contest vs the Celtics.

Noel had a season-high six blocks in 17 minutes on Friday against the Cavs so the Knicks are surely hoping their backup center will be good to go on Sunday. We wouldn't recommend Noel as a reliable pickup, but if you're in need of blocks and a field goal percentage boost, take a chance on him.

A. Burks - SG

NYK

Alec Burks (left ankle) is considered doubtful to play vs the Celtics on Sunday.

The Knicks have a back-to-back set starting with the Celtics tomorrow and the Magic on Monday. Burks could return against Orlando on MLK Day, but Tom Thibodeau might end up playing it safe as his team will have two days off after another B2B set on Thursday and Friday which would allow Burks a couple more days to get back into game shape.

M. Robinson - C

NYK

Mitchell Robinson (right heel contusion) is probable vs the Celtics on Sunday.

It's the first time this season Robinson has had any injury concerns and it comes the day after Andre Drummond dropped a 30/20 game on him. But the good news is he's listed as probable so he will likely give it a go barring a setback between now and Sunday night.

J. Brunson - PG

DAL

Jalen Brunson (COVID-protocol) has been upgraded to questionable for Sunday's game against the Bulls.

Brunson has missed the last few games adhering to the NBA's health and safety protocols but could now return on Sunday. He might be a bit sluggish after not playing for over a week, but if Tim Hardaway Jr. (groin) can't go, Brunson could play some more minutes for a Dallas team that has multiple players already sidelined.

T. Hardaway - SG

DAL

Tim Hardaway Jr. (left groin strain) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game vs the Bulls.

Hardaway played an effective 37 minutes on Friday and was on the court at the end of a tight game, scoring 22 points with six boards in the loss. He might just be dealing with some soreness and will likely go through a Sunday morning shoot around before determining his status for the game. Check back for more tomorrow.

K. Porzingis - PF

DAL

Kristaps Porzingis is listed as probable with a left ankle sprain on the Mavs latest injury report.

Porzingis played through his ankle sprain on Friday night so there's a good chance he'll play on Sunday against the Bulls. But the Mavs have a back-to-back as they visit the Raptors on Monday, and it's safe to think he'll miss one of those two games. Monitor his status before Sunday's tip-off.

B. Simmons - PG

PHI

Ben Simmons (left knee) is available to play on Saturday vs the Grizzlies.

Simmons is listed as 'available' on the injury and will suit up vs Memphis tonight. The Sixers will be shorthanded as Joel Embiid and Mike Scott didn't travel with the team for the back-to-backs this weekend and hopefully that means Simmons will be a bit more aggressive in scoring against the Grizzlies.

P. George - SF

LAC

Paul George opened up to reporters on Friday night after the Clippers 138-100 beatdown over the Kings.

“I'm coming back with vengeance," George said. "I didn't like, not so much of the noise and everything around [the way last season ended], but just the fact that people saw weakness. And I had to answer that.” To PG-13's credit, he's answered the call so far, averaging 25.3 points, 6.1 rebounds and 5.2 assists per game in 2020-21. He also boasts career-high shooting numbers, converting on 50% of his field goals and nearly 52% from beyond the arc, a big reason why he ranks 12th in 9-cat a month into the season.

B. Beal - SG

WAS

The Miami Heat's interest level in Bradley Beal is reportedly "high" if the guard becomes available via trade, reports Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald.

Beal hasn't openly requested a trade, but the Wizards are 2-9 this season while his NBA-leading 35 points a game go wasted, making it hard to imagine the thought hasn't crossed his mind. He's 27-years-old and is in the prime of his career, and should GM Tommy Sheppard put him on the trade market, a handful of teams will be blowing up his phone with their best offers, and Pat Riley will reportedly be one of them as he looks to lead Miami back to the Finals.

L. Doncic - PG

DAL

Luka Doncic was upset that head coach Rick Carlisle didn't call a timeout on Friday night in the game's final moments.

"It's coach's decision, but if we would have made the shot, everything would be good," Doncic said postgame. "... But I don't know. It's coach's decision to call a timeout or no, so I think it's good." Luka's being nice there, but he was visibly upset with how the end of the game out for the Mavs (video below). With less than 25 ticks left and Dallas down two, Luka swung the ball to an open Trey Burke after being double-teamed. Burke missed but the Mavs got an offensive rebound that resulted in a deep Kristaps Porzingis 3-pointer with 10.4 seconds left. He bricked it and Dallas would go on to lose the game. Doncic surely would've loved for his team to have taken a higher quality shot than that.
