J. Culver - SG

MIN

Culver isn't in the starting lineup Saturday against the Clippers.

Culver started 19 of the last 20 games and averaged 11.2 points, 3.9 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.2 steals over 28.4 minutes in that stretch, but he'll move to the bench Saturday. The team turned over much of the roster at the trade deadline, so the rotations are likely to be fluid for the near future.

N/A

L. Ball - PG

NOP

Lonzo Ball (bilateral knee tendinopathy) is available and will start Tuesday's game against the Jazz.

Ball was upgraded to probable Tuesday afternoon, so his being able to play isn't a major surprise. He will be on a minutes restriction, however. Eric Bledsoe may have the ball in his hands a little less with Ball back in the fold, while Nickeil Alexander-Walker slides down in the perimeter pecking order.

N/A

J. Nurkic - C

POR

Jusuf Nurkic underwent surgery to repair his fractured right wrist on Tuesday and he will be re-evaluated in six weeks.

While Nurkic is going to be re-evaluated in six weeks, he's still expected to miss at least eight weeks, so don't plan on seeing him again until March. Enes Kanter is the primary beneficiary here, as he'll be the starting center until Nurkic gets back, and there will also be some more opportunity on offense for Robert Covington. Nurkic got off to a rough start this season, but he has way too much upside to outright cut — just plug him into your IR-spot.

N/A

D. Saric - PF

PHX

Dario Saric (COVID-protocol) is expected to miss at least the next three games for the Suns.

It's unlikely he'll clear quarantine until Phoenix's January 27 matchup with OKC, so he's safe to leave on the waiver wire in the vast majority of fantasy leagues.

NBA Injury Report

N/A

M. Carter-Williams - SG

ORL

Michael Carter-Williams (foot) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Timberwolves.

He was able to get through Tuesday's non-contact practice, so he's making progress, but Wednesday will mark his eighth straight game on the sidelines.

NBA Injury Report

N/A

E. Fournier - SG

ORL

Evan Fournier (back) has been upgraded to questionable for Wednesday's game against the Timberwolves.

Fournier was able to get through Tuesday's non-contact practice, so depending on how he feels after tomorrow's shootaround, there's a chance we could see him back in action vs. Minnesota. He may be headed for a game-time call, but if he's cleared, we'll likely see Dwyane Bacon or James Ennis return to the second unit. Stay tuned.

NBA Injury Report

N/A

J. Sampson - SF

IND

JaKarr Sampson (back) is being listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Mavs.

The back issue has forced Sampson to spend the past two games on the sidelines, but whether or not he's cleared for tomorrow's game won't make a bit of difference in fantasy hoops.

Added 6:20 pm (EST)

NBA Injury Report

N/A

J. Lamb - SG

IND

Jeremy Lamb (left knee surgery) is being listed as questionable for Wednesday's game vs. the Mavericks.

Lamb has been practicing in full, and it looks like there's a chance he'll be making his regular-season debut tomorrow night. We'll have a better idea on his status based on his activity level at tomorrow's shootaround, but even if he's cleared, we'd expect him to have some heavy restrictions in his first game back from the ACL tear. That said, Victor Oladipo no longer around, and both T.J. Warren (foot) and Caris LeVert (kidney) out indefinitely, there's a lot of holes to fill in Indiana's offense — so Lamb could make some noise once he's fully up to speed. With his return right around the corner, he should be stashed in most leagues.

NBA Injury Report

N/A

T. Hardaway - SG

DAL

Tim Hardaway Jr. (left groin strain) is being listed as probable for Wednesday's game vs. the Pacers.

Perhaps the groin strain affected THJ in his 0-of-12 shooting performance on MLK Day, but it doesn't look like it'll force him to spend any time on the sidelines. Check back for official word on his status closer to tomorrow's tip.

NBA Injury Report

N/A

S. Curry - SG

PHI

Seth Curry (COVID-19) will be available to play on Wednesday vs. the Celtics.

Curry has completed his quarantine and is no longer being listed on the injury report, and while he'll be available tomorrow night, he may be quite limited as he still hasn't gone through a full practice. It'll be interesting to see how he impacts Shake Milton once he's fully up to speed, though.

N/A

J. Richardson - SG

DAL

Josh Richardson, Dorian Finney-Smith, Maxi Kleber and Dwight Powell will remain on the inactive list for Wednesday's game vs. the Pacers due to health and safety protocols.

J-Rich hasn't played since Jan. 8 due to health and safety protocols, and the prolonged absence would suggest that he may have been one of the Dallas players who tested positive for COVID-19. We haven't received any real updates on any of these guys, but we wouldn't be surprised to see them all miss the remaining three games for the Mavericks this week. Tim Hardaway Jr. and Willie Cauley-Stein will continue to pick up the slack with all these guys in quarantine.

NBA Injury Report

N/A

M. Scott - PF

PHI

Mike Scott (right knee) will not suit up for Wednesday's game vs. the Celtics.

It'll be his second game on the sidelines, but it won't matter because Joel Embiid will be back.

N/A

V. Poirier - C

PHI

Vincent Poirier (COVID-protocol) will remain on the inactive list for Wednesday's game vs. Boston.

It's unclear how much longer he'll be out, but he wasn't a part of the rotation anyway. We'll be considering him out indefinitely and will not provide another update until he clears quarantine.
