  • IND Power Forward #2

    Former Kings F Darnell Jackson is expected to attend training camp with the Jazz.
    Jackson signed with BC Donetsk in the Ukraine during the lockout, but apparently hasn’t given up on playing in the NBA. He averaged 2.2 points in 138 appearances with the Cavs, Bucks and Kings, and he doesn’t have much of a chance to make Utah’s roster.
  • SAC Power Forward #11

    Domantas Sabonis is questionable for Thursday’s matchup with the Pistons due to an illness.
    Sabonis averaged 18 points, 20 boards and 4.5 assists across his last two games - production that will not be easily replicated. Trey Lyles started both of Sabonis’ prior absences this season, and he posted 14.5 points, 6.5 rebounds, 2.5 dimes and a whopping 4.0 triples across 36.5 minutes in that pair of spot starts.
  • LAL Power Forward #3
    Anthony Davis turned his left ankle early in Wednesday’s matchup with the Warriors and is questionable to return.
    The non-contact injury is a brutal loss for LA. Davis went back to the locker room in the first quarter, and his status for the rest of the game is unclear. If he doesn’t return, he’ll finish with two rebounds and a steal across seven minutes. Christian Koloko will fill in at center for as long as Davis is sidelined.
  • UTA Power Forward #20
    John Collins (left hip contusion) and Keyonte George (left ankle sprain) are questionable for Thursday’s matchup with the Trail Blazers.
    Collins and George both sat out Monday against Cleveland, and Micah Potter and Svi Mykhailiuk filled in for them respectively. Expect the same lineup adjustments if both are sidelined Thursday.
  • DAL Point Guard #77
    According to ESPN’s Shams Charania, “the Dallas Mavericks are bracing for star Luka Doncic to miss an extended period of time after sustaining a calf strain.”
    The news is a major blow to Dallas, but if there’s a silver lining, it’s that the Mavs are 6-2 with Doncic on the sidelines this season. His monster usage and production will be tough to replicate, but the team will likely employ a committee approach featuring the likes of Spencer Dinwiddie, Quentin Grimes and Jaden Hardy.
  • BOS Center #42
    Al Horford accumulated 17 points (6-of-13 FGs), four rebounds, two assists, one block, and five 3-pointers in 33 minutes in Wednesday’s loss to Philadelphia.
    With Jrue Holiday (shoulder) sidelined, Horford made his second consecutive start on Wednesday. The 38-year-old Celtic had a solid Christmas Day, knocking down five of his 10 3-point attempts and blocking two shots. And Horford may remain in the starting lineup longer, as Kristaps Porzingis sprained his ankle during the first half. Boston plays two home games against the Pacers (Friday and Sunday) to end Week 9, but they must navigate a back-to-back during Week 10.
  • BOS Small Forward #7
    Jaylen Brown shot 10-of-23 from the field and 0-of-3 from the foul line in Wednesday’s loss to Philadelphia, amassing 23 points, seven rebounds, four assists, two steals, and three 3-pointers in 43 minutes.
    Turnovers and the foul line remain areas of concern for Brown, who was responsible for five turnovers and missed all three free throws on Wednesday. Remove the turnovers, and he’s a top 70 player in 8-cat formats. However, for managers who can punt turnovers and free throw percentage, he’s a top-50 option. Brown’s holding onto a spot in the top 100 in 9-cat formats, but that may change if he continues to struggle with turnovers and poor foul shooting.
  • BOS Point Guard #9
    Derrick White accounted for 21 points (8-of-15 FGs), three rebounds, four assists, and five 3-pointers in 33 minutes in Wednesday’s loss to Philadelphia.
    While the percentage hasn’t always been great, White has made at least three 3-pointers in five of his last six games. He’s making a career-best 3.6 per game for the season, nearly one more than his average from the 2023-24 campaign (2.7). White is providing close to top-25 value in 9-cat formats, which aligns with what he did during the Celtics’ run to the title last season.
  • BOS Small Forward #0
    Jayson Tatum finished Wednesday’s 118-114 loss to the 76ers with 32 points (11-of-20 FGs, 6-of-7 FTs), 15 rebounds, four assists, one steal, one block, and four 3-pointers in 42 minutes.
    Tatum has scored 28 points or more in four straight and five of his last six games, and he’s recorded a double-double (or better) in seven straight. The Celtics star has been an elite fantasy option this season, ranking seventh in 8- and 9-cat formats, according to Basketball Monster. Tatum and the Celtics close out Week 9 with home games on Friday and Sunday against the Pacers.
  • PHI Small Forward #8
    Paul George logged 34 minutes in Wednesday’s win over Boston, producing a line of 12 points (4-of-15 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs), four rebounds, four assists, three steals, and one block.
    George struggled on Christmas Day, but it wasn’t as impactful due to Philadelphia’s “big three” being intact. Tyrese Maxey, Joel Embiid, and Caleb Martin picked up the slack, and George hit two clutch free throws to help Philadelphia close out its biggest win of the season to date. PG will look to rebound when the 76ers visit Utah on Saturday.
  • PHI Center #21
    Joel Embiid (right ankle sprain) accounted for 27 points (8-of-15 FGs, 7-of-7 FTs), nine rebounds, two assists, and four 3-pointers in 31 minutes in Wednesday’s win over Boston.
    Embiid’s Christmas Day game in Boston nearly ended before it even began. During his pregame warmup, the former MVP landed on a security guard’s foot and rolled his right ankle. Luckily, Embiid was able to play 31 minutes without issue. The upcoming schedule works in his favor, as the 76ers are off until Saturday when they visit the Jazz.
