Jalen Green Active, Grayson Allen Sidelined Sunday

Phoenix Suns guard Jalen Green (hamstring) is available, while guard/forward Grayson Allen (ankle) is out for Sunday's game against Portland. Green logged 37 minutes in his last appearance, finishing with 16 points, seven rebounds, five assists, three steals, and two 3-pointers, and he should again anchor the offense with Devin Booker (hip), Dillon Brooks (hand), and Jordan Goodwin (calf) sidelined. Green's 29.5 usage rate keeps him locked into must-start territory. Allen's absence solidifies minutes for Royce O'Neale and Collin Gillespie, though Green remains the primary fantasy beneficiary.

Keyonte George Faces Game-Time Decision Monday

Utah Jazz guard Keyonte George (ankle) is questionable for Monday's game in Houston after missing seven of the last eight contests. The second-year guard averages 30.0 minutes with a team-high 29.2 usage rate, so his potential return would reshape the backcourt rotation. Isaiah Collier capitalized in the last outing with 24 points, five rebounds, four steals, and two blocks in 25 minutes, making him a strong add if George remains sidelined. If George plays, Collier likely shifts back to the second unit, while Ace Bailey and Lauri Markkanen maintain steady offensive roles.

Naz Reid Out, Joan Beringer to Start Vs. 76ers

Minnesota Timberwolves forward/center Naz Reid (shoulder) is out for Sunday's game against Philadelphia, marking his first absence of the season. With Rudy Gobert also sidelined due to suspension, Joan Beringer is set to start at center, creating short-term streaming appeal in deeper formats. Beringer logged four minutes with two points and two blocks in his last appearance, but an expanded run could translate to boards and defensive stats. Julius Randle and Anthony Edwards should absorb more frontcourt usage, while Ayo Dosunmu may see added offensive responsibility with the rotation thinned.

Lauri Markkanen Probable to Return Monday

Utah Jazz forward Lauri Markkanen (illness) is probable for Monday's game against Houston after sitting out the previous two contests. In his last five appearances, the seven-footer has averaged 21.6 points, 6.0 rebounds, and 1.6 assists in 24.6 minutes, maintaining a steady scoring role when active. His return would likely trim minutes for Cody Williams, who logged 38 minutes with five points, nine rebounds, two assists, one steal, and one block in the last game. Brice Sensabaugh also stands to lose touches after posting nine points and four rebounds in 19 minutes. Markkanen remains a must-start in all formats.

Jusuf Nurkic Out Monday Against Rockets

Utah Jazz center Jusuf Nurkic (nose) will miss Monday's game against Houston, extending his absence to three straight contests. The veteran big has averaged 11.0 points, 7.0 rebounds, and 2.0 assists in 26.0 minutes this season, but his continued absence keeps the frontcourt condensed for fantasy managers. Kyle Filipowski started in the last outing and logged 20 points, six rebounds, four assists, two steals, and two blocks in 28 minutes, making him a strong add. With Utah potentially shifting into development mode, Filipowski is trending toward long-term hold value.

Jamal Murray Good to Go on Sunday

Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray (hamstring) is available for Sunday's meeting with the Warriors. The 28-year-old is having the best season of his career, averaging 25.6 points and 7.6 assists. He's also stayed relatively healthy, appearing in Denver's previous 11 contests. With that said, Murray has played well against Golden State during the campaign (two games), amassing 24.0 points, 9.0 dimes, and 54.5% shooting from behind the arc.

Anfernee Simons Won't Face the Knicks

Chicago Bulls guard Anfernee Simons (wrist) won't play on Sunday against the Knicks. Simons had four points and two rebounds in Saturday's loss to the Detroit Pistons. Unfortunately, he lasted only 13 minutes before exiting due to a sprained left wrist. With Jaden Ivey (knee) also ruled out, Collin Sexton should see more action. The same can be said for Rob Dillingham, with the 21-year-old amassing two points in eight minutes versus the Pistons. With that said, it's logical to assume Dillingham will be more productive, although he's still tough to trust in any fantasy format.

Mitchell Robinson Sitting on Sunday

New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson (ankle) won't play on Sunday in Chicago. He logged six points and four rebounds in Saturday's two-point win over the Houston Rockets. However, as has been the norm, Robinson won't suit up for the second game of the back-to-back. Ariel Hukporti should see more action, with the 23-year-old amassing seven points, five boards, and one block in the most recent contest when Robinson wasn't available.

Myles Turner • C • Bucks

Myles Turner Back on Sunday

Milwaukee Bucks center Myles Turner (calf) will return for Sunday's meeting with Toronto after missing the last two contests. Jericho Sims has been rolling with the starters of late, most recently amassing four points, six rebounds, and two blocks in 19 minutes in the recent win over the New Orleans Pelicans. As far as Turner is concerned, he hasn't looked the same since arriving in Milwaukee, averaging 12.7 points, 5.7 rebounds, 1.6 assists, and 1.7 blocks. Although his decreased production has been frustrating for managers, he still does enough to warrant starting fantasy consideration whenever he's on the floor.

Kristaps Porzingis Ruled Out on Sunday

Golden State Warriors center Kristaps Porzingis (illness) won't play on Sunday versus Denver. He was listed as probable on the injury report for left Achilles injury management. However, the veteran woke up early on Sunday and was feeling "pretty sick." Porzingis has appeared in only one game for the Dubs since being acquired ahead of the deadline, amassing 12 points in 17 minutes off the bench in the loss to Boston on Thursday. It's unknown if he'll be available for the Warriors' upcoming two-game road trip. In the meantime, Al Horford may take on more minutes after finishing with five points, eight boards, four assists, and one block against the Celtics.

Anfernee Simons Exits Early In Loss To Detroit

Chicago Bulls guard Anfernee Simons (wrist) will not return to Saturday's game against Detroit after injuring his left wrist in the second quarter. He finished with 4 points on 2-of-6 shooting and two rebounds in 13 minutes off the bench, and his availability for Sunday against New York is now in question. If Simons sits, Tre Jones and Collin Sexton would be in line for expanded roles, especially if Josh Giddey is rested on the back end of the back-to-back. Jones posted seven points and six assists in 26 minutes Saturday, while Sexton's production remains scoring-dependent. Jones is the steadier short-term add for assists and steals.

Kristaps Porzingis • C • Warriors

Kristaps Porzingis On Track To Play Sunday

Golden State Warriors forward/center Kristaps Porzingis (Achilles) is listed as probable for Sunday's game against Denver and is expected to come off the bench again with increased minutes. The 30-year-old made his team debut Thursday, finishing with 12 points on 5-of-9 shooting, two threes, one rebound, one assist, and one block in 17 minutes. If his minutes tick up, he becomes even more secure in standard leagues, especially with Stephen Curry (knee) out. There's obvious injury risk baked in with Porzingis, so he comes with volatility, but a 29.0 percent usage rate shows the upside is real when he's on the floor. Draymond Green and Al Horford could see slight role shifts as the rotation settles.

Shaedon Sharpe Remains Unavailable Sunday

Portland Trail Blazers guard/forward Shaedon Sharpe (calf) remains out for Sunday's game against Phoenix, marking his sixth consecutive absence as the team continues to err on the side of caution. The backcourt minutes are still up in the air. Vit Krejci scored 11 points with two threes in 17 minutes last game, Matisse Thybulle added five points and three steals in 13 minutes, and Sidy Cissoko chipped in two steals and two blocks in 16 minutes. All three are fringe, risky streaming options in deeper formats.

John Collins • PF • Clippers

John Collins to Miss Orlando Game

Los Angeles Clippers forward/center John Collins (head) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Orlando after sustaining a head laceration and neck soreness in Friday's loss to the Lakers. His next chance to suit up comes Thursday. In his absence, Bennedict Mathurin should continue handling elevated usage after posting 26 points and seven rebounds in 32 minutes last game. Nicolas Batum saw 15 minutes with three rebounds, two assists, and one steal, but remains a low-upside option. Mathurin is the preferred short-term play, while Batum and Kobe Sanders are fringe, deeper-league considerations. Kawhi Leonard's (ankle) status could further shape wing minutes.

Aaron Nesmith to Miss Second Straight Game

Indiana Pacers guard/forward Aaron Nesmith (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Dallas as he continues to recover from a right ankle sprain. This will be his second straight absence, leaving wing minutes available but without a clear fantasy winner. Ben Sheppard logged 20 minutes in the last game and finished with eight points, five rebounds, three assists, and one steal, while Kobe Brown played 33 minutes and posted 12 points, five rebounds, two threes, and two steals. Both remain fringe and risky options for streaming in deeper formats. Pascal Siakam and Jarace Walker should continue to absorb stable usage.

Ivica Zubac Remains Sidelined Sunday

Indiana Pacers center Ivica Zubac (ankle) is out for Sunday's game against Dallas as he continues to recover from a sprained ankle. With the Pacers managing multiple rotation injuries, there is little incentive to rush him back. Jay Huff should remain in the starting lineup after erupting for 22 points with five threes in 16 minutes last game, and he previously logged 15 points, eight rebounds, and three blocks in 21 minutes. Huff is a clear streamer in standard formats, while Micah Potter profiles as a deep-league add after posting 18 points and four threes. Jarace Walker also gains frontcourt stability minutes.

Rudy Gobert • C • Timberwolves

Rudy Gobert Suspended One Game Sunday

Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert will miss Sunday's game against Philadelphia after the league handed him a one-game ban for exceeding the regular-season flagrant foul threshold following Friday's win over Dallas. The 33-year-old averages 32 minutes with a 13.4 percent usage rate, so the fantasy swing comes from his absence, not volume. Naz Reid is the clear beneficiary after posting 21 points, seven rebounds, four threes, four assists, one steal, and two blocks in 31 minutes last game. Reid profiles as a strong short-term start, while Joan Beringer is only a deep-league dart. Julius Randle and Anthony Edwards should see marginal rebounding and usage bumps.

Devin Booker • SG • Suns

Devin Booker to Miss at Least One Week

Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker (hip) will be sidelined for at least one week as a result of the right hip strain he suffered in Thursday's loss to the San Antonio Spurs. The 29-year-old has struggled to stay healthy of late, most recently missing seven contests because of a sprained right ankle. Unfortunately, the latest update means he will miss even more time moving forward. With Dillon Brooks (hand) out indefinitely, the Suns will need to lean on Grayson Allen, Collin Gillespie, and Jalen Green. Jordan Goodwin, who had 17 points from off the bench in Saturday's double-overtime win over Orlando, should see even more work and scoring opportunities, at least until Booker is cleared to return.

Dillon Brooks • SF • Suns

Dillon Brooks Suffers a Broken Hand

According to ESPN's Shams Charania, Phoenix Suns forward Dillon Brooks sustained a broken left hand in Saturday's double-overtime win over the Magic. He is projected to be out "for an extended period of time," although he will meet with physicians on Sunday to "determine an exact timetable." The 30-year-old has played exceptionally well this season, averaging a career-high 21.2 points with 3.7 rebounds, 1.8 assists, and 1.1 steals. With Devin Booker (hip) out at least a week, losing Brooks is a tough blow to the Suns, a team looking to remain in the Play-In conversation. At any rate, fantasy managers can expect Collin Gillespie, Jalen Green, and Grayson Allen to lead the offense, at least until Booker is back in the mix. Jordan Goodwin, amassing 17 points versus Orlando, should also gain attention from fantasy managers.

Walter Clayton Jr. • PG • Grizzlies

Walter Clayton Jr. is Ready to Go for Saturday

Memphis Grizzlies guard Walter Clayton Jr. (calf) has been upgraded to available ahead of Saturday's game against the Miami Heat. Clayton is ready to go after missing the last three games due to a right calf contusion. It's unclear what kind of role he'll have in the rotation with Ty Jerome and Scotty Pippen Jr. both available for this game. This season, Clayton is averaging 6.9 points, 3.3 assists, and 2.0 rebounds across 18.3 minutes per game. He's not someone who needs to be rostered in all formats right now, but could gain traction in the second half of the season.
