Rotoworld

Anderson Varejao

FA Center #17

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players
Anderson Varejao is available to play vs. the Blazers on Wednesday.

Varejao hasn’t played in the NBA in over four years, but he’s going through shootarounds and could earn a handful of minutes in the Cavs’ final seven games. Wednesday’s contest is in Cleveland, too, so he should get at least a cameo for the roughly 4,000 fans in attendance.

Zach LaVine

CHI Shooting Guard #8

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players
Zach LaVine (low back spasms) is available, and Josh Giddey (ankle) is questionable for Thursday’s matchup with the Celtics.

LaVine sat Monday against Toronto, but he’s off the injury report for Thursday’s tilt with Boston. LaVine could see an even bigger workload if Giddey is ultimately ruled out. Lonzo Ball and Ayo Dosunmu could log some more minutes off the bench in that scenario.

Deandre Ayton

POR Center #2
Deandre Ayton (illness) is questionable for Thursday’s matchup with Denver.

Ayton practiced Tuesday, so he’s trending in the right direction after missing two straight games. If he’s able to get back on the court, Ayton will likely start, and Donovan Clingan will head back to the bench.

LeBron James

LAL Small Forward #23
LeBron James (left foot injury management) is questionable for Thursday’s matchup with the Kings.

James missed two in a row before returning to face Memphis on Sunday. If he’s unavailable for the third time in four games, the committee of Gabe Vincent, Max Christie and D’Angelo Russell could absorb his minutes.

Have to 'ride out' LeBron this year in fantasy

Dan Titus, Raphielle Johnson and Noah Rubin discuss LeBron James not living up to his fantasy draft pedigree and how his lack of trade value forces managers to 'ride out' the year.

Bradley Beal

PHX Shooting Guard #3
Bradley Beal (right knee swelling) is probable for Thursday’s tilt with the Pacers.

Beal is expected to make his return following a two-game absence. If he’s officially given the green light, Royce O’Neale will likely slide back to the bench.

Derrick Jones Jr.

LAC Small Forward #55

Derrick Jones Jr. (right hamstring soreness) is questionable for Thursday’s matchup with the Mavericks.

DJJ was expected to miss at least two weeks based on a report from December 10, but he’s apparently ahead of schedule. He’s got a shot to face his former team, though it’s unclear if he’ll handle his normal workload.

Ja Morant

MEM Point Guard #12
Ja Morant (low back soreness) is questionable for Thursday’s matchup with the Warriors, and Marcus Smart (left shoulder soreness) is doubtful.

With Smart unlikely to play, expect Scotty Pippen Jr. and Luke Kennard to see a bump in playing time off the bench. If Morant ends up sitting too, Pippen Jr. is likely to earn a spot start, making him a worthwhile streaming option.

Onyeka Okongwu

ATL Center #17
Onyeka Okongwu will be sidelined at least a week due to left knee inflammation.

Okongwu has played well off the bench this season, and his absence should free up additional minutes for Larry Nance Jr. behind Clint Capela.

Jordan Hawkins

NOP Shooting Guard #24

Jordan Hawkins (lumbar spine annular fissure) is questionable for Thursday’s matchup with Houston.

Hawkins has been in and (mostly) out of New Orleans’ lineup this season, but he’ll get a chance to return Thursday against the Rockets. He’ll likely face a minutes restriction if he’s cleared to take the court.

Brandon Miller

CHA Small Forward #24
Brandon Miller (left ankle sprain) is questionable for Thursday’s matchup with the Wizards.

Miller left Monday’s matchup with the 76ers after sustaining the injury, and his status at Washington is up in the air. Isaiah Wong and Tidjane Salaun could see an uptick in playing time if Miller is sidelined.

Domantas Sabonis

SAC Power Forward #11
Domantas Sabonis and Keegan Murray (left ankle soreness) did not practice on Wednesday ahead of Thursday’s Kings-Lakers game.

It’s surprising to see that Sabonis missed practice while Murray is looking to bounce back after missing the Kings’ last game against the Nuggets with an ankle issue. Doug McDermott started for Murray in Sacramento’s last game and could get another chance to.
