NBA Player News

Most draft-and-stash players gained their experience playing professionally overseas, but that wasn’t the case for Jessup. The Colorado native played four seasons at Boise State, averaging 16.0 points, 4.4 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 1.4 steals, 0.5 blocks and 3.1 3-pointers per game. Jessup shot 39.7 percent from three as a senior, which along with the fact that he’ll play in Australia next season was a selling point for NBA teams. The Warriors will watch his development from a distance.

Brunson was listed as questionable Monday after he injured his shoulder Sunday against the Bucks. The 28-year-old point guard was able to finish Sunday’s game as he lit up Milwaukee for 44 points. While the Knicks could’ve opted to play it safe with their star, it’s wheels up for Brunson against the Pistons Monday.

Jenkins said that Jackson is closer to a return than Vince Williams Jr. (ankle), though Williams Jr. is also progressing well. He also said that both will likely get an opportunity with the Hustle before they make a return to the court for the Grizzlies. Reinforcements for the third-best team in the West are on the way.

Sanogo hasn’t appeared in a game in about a month and has yet to play 10 minutes in a game this season. His absence won’t impact fantasy basketball.

Eason hasn’t played in almost a month with a leg injury. The Rockets continue to list him on the injury report, which implies that he’s not far away from suiting up. Still, the 23-year-old small forward is out again Monday. Cam Whitmore will continue to have a bigger roll off the bench in Eason’s absence.

Previous reports indicated that Dosunmu was targeting a return to the lineup on Wednesday against Atlanta, but he is being listed as questionable for Tuesday’s game. Since it is a back-to-back, he will likely only suit up for one of these games, and it wouldn’t be surprising if it ends up being their game against the Hawks. Lonzo Ball and Talen Horton-Tucker would lose out on a few minutes if Dosunmu were to return for this game.

Monk has been playing incredibly well as part of the starting unit, and he hasn’t missed a game since November. However, if he were to be sidelined for this one, Keon Ellis would likely slide into the starting unit and be worth streaming.

White missed Sunday’s game against the Kings, which allowed Lonzo Ball to make his first start of the season. White’s return would likely push Ball back to the bench, though he played well enough as a starter to be worth streaming if White remains out.

Payton II will miss a 10th straight game on Monday, but the team reportedly seemed hopeful about his chances of playing against Minnesota on Wednesday. Buddy Hield and Moses Moody should continue to see a few extra minutes against Toronto.

Rollins may be back after missing their last game with an illness, but with Damian Lillard healthy, he won’t play enough to warrant consideration in any fantasy format.

Trent Jr. will have a chance to return after missing Sunday’s blowout loss to the Knicks. With Khris Middleton (ankles) already ruled out, Trent Jr. should take on extra minutes if he plays. If not, AJ Green should have a heavy workload.
