POR

The NBA has postponed Wednesday's game between the Blazers and Grizzlies due to contact tracing.

Yet another game has been postponed but this is why the NBA only released half of the schedule. These postponed games will all be made up at a later date.

Z. Williamson - PF

NOP

Zion Williamson is the first Pelicans player, and the youngest player in NBA history to record back-to-back games with 30 or more points on 70% shooting or better.

It's all been shooting inside the paint, but that doesn't mean what Williamson's doing isn't impressive. In his last two games, he's made 27-of-34 shots from the field (79.4%) and scored 63 points. Williamson has a long way to go to develop into a franchise cornerstone, especially on the defensive end. But at 20 years old, his talent is evident. For fantasy purposes, Williamson ranks No. 96 in 9-cat leagues because of his poor shooting from the free-throw line and from distance. He isn't an incredible play-maker yet, either.

J. Valanciunas - C

MEM

Jonas Valanciunas has entered the NBA's health and safety protocols, the team announced on Sunday via Twitter.

After getting Ja Morant back on Saturday, the Grizzlies will now be without their starting center for a minimum of a week, and potentially longer, if Valanciunas' results come back positive. ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski reported that the Thunder-Sixers game was postponed tonight due to contact tracing linked to JV after the Grizzlies played Philly on Saturday. As far as fantasy implications go, Brandon Clarke should see an uptick in minutes along with rookie Xavier Tillman who's coming off his best game of the season.

M. Morris - PF

LAC

Marcus Morris said that his recovery from knee tendinitis was thrown off by the NBA's decision to begin this season in December.

Morris did not train for nearly four months as he rested his knees, with his expectation being that the 2020-21 season would not begin until January. The December start date threw things off, which is why he was unable to make his season debut until January 7. While Morris is still on a minutes restriction, he's making progress with regard to his conditioning and should be a full go soon enough. "My legs are so much stronger, I haven’t been dealing with any problems with my knees," Morris said according to the Los Angeles Times. "Once I get going, and once I get where I need to be, man, it’s gonna be trouble."

K. Okpala - PF

MIA

Making the first start of his NBA career, KZ Okpala shot 6-of-9 from the field in Saturday’s loss to the Pistons and finished with 15 points, one rebound, one assist and four 3-pointers in 27 minutes.

While Miami welcomed back a few consistent rotation members, the absences of Jimmy Butler (health and safety protocols) and Tyler Herro (neck spasms) freed up a spot in the starting lineup for Okpala. And he was solid, shooting 4-of-5 from beyond the arc. The negatives: there wasn’t much production outside of the points and 3-pointers, and Okpala also turned the ball over four times. If he gets another start, Okpala is worth a look in deeper leagues, but that’s his ceiling right now.

Theis is back for Boson but we will be splitting minutes with Tristan Thompson and Grant Williams who have also been cleared to play again. He's worth a pick up in deep leagues if your team is dealing with injuries or other quarantining players.

The NBA has postponed Friday's game between the Wizards and the Pistons.

The Pistons will be playing on Wednesday though as this cancellation is due to the Wizards not having the minimum of eight players due to COVID-19 and contact tracing. Every delayed game will be made up at a later date which is why the NBA only released the schedule for the first half of the season.

K. Irving - PG

BKN

Kyrie Irving (personal) is out Tuesday and he's unlikely to return to the Nets' lineup this week, according to Adrian Wojnarowski and Malika Andrews, and the NBA is investigating videos of Kyrie in violation of the league's COVID-19 protocols.

"[The] NBA is expected to begin examining online videos circulating of a maskless Kyrie Irving at a family birthday party," Wojnarowski writes. "[T]here’s no belief that he will return to the Brooklyn Nets lineup this week." Over his past three games without Irving, Caris LeVert has averaged 28.7 points, 7.3 assists, 5.3 rebounds and 3.0 triples. With Kyrie likely still out, there's no reason he can't keep up that torrid pace this week. For now, in light of Woj's reporting and the NBA's uncompromising stance around COVID-19 risk, we'll consider Kyrie very doubtful for games Wednesday or Saturday.

P. Siakam - PF

TOR

Pascal Siakam got the first triple-double of his NBA career on Monday night, posting 22 points, 13 boards and 10 assists in a losing effort.

Siakam nearly got his first triple double on Friday but came up one rebound short. He wouldn't be stopped tonight, however, except on the game's final shot attempt when he missed a potential game-winning shot. It's the second straight game that he's had a chance to win the game in the final moments and came up short. But aside from that last miss, Siakam went 9-of-17 from the floor and is shooting 46% this season with averages of 20.3 points, 8.3 rebounds and 4.5 rebounds.

A. Simmons - SS

Howard Eskin of 94 WIP and Fox 29 TV reports that the Phillies are interested in free agent shortstop Andrelton Simmons.

Jon Heyman of MLB Network confirms the report and adds that the Blue Jays and Reds are also interested. According to Eskin, the Phillies are looking to add someone on a one-year deal. Of course, Didi Gregorius is still out there, as well as Marcus Semien. Among the three available shortstop, Simmons might be the most likely to be amenable to a one-year deal in hopes of recouping his value. The 31-year-old slashed .297/.346/.356 across 127 plate appearances last season with the Angels before opting out in September due to COVID-19 concerns.

Pettersson is due to become a restricted free agent at the end of the 2020-21 season and this is an important move for the young center. He has only two points in seven games after potting his first goal of the season Saturday.

T. Brady - QB

Tom Brady has an adjusted completion rate of 68.6 percent over his three 2021 postseason games.

That marks a 6.5-point drop from his regular season adjusted completion rate, which accounts for throw aways, drops, spiked balls, batted passes, and passes where the quarterback was hit while he threw the ball, per Pro Football Focus. Only Russell Wilson -- who only played one playoff game -- has a lower adjusted completion rate this postseason. Brady and the Bucs made it out of Green Bay with a Super Bowl berth despite his three interceptions to go along with three touchdown tosses against one of the league's top secondaries. Brady hasn't gotten much help from his pass catchers, who have recorded a dozen drops in three postseason contests (the adjusted completion rate accounts for drops). The 43 year old's accuracy issues could pose problems for the Bucs offense in the Super Bowl against a Kansas City secondary that allowed the league's fourth lowest completion rate in 2020.

Grace provided the sad news on social media and this explains his WD last week ahead of The American Express. He also backed out of the upcoming Farmers Insurance Open and there is no timetable for his return, he just said "I will be taking some time off to be with family. Stay Safe." This time away could be a week or it could be a year. We will update when a return is planned.

We wish him the best of luck.
