Otto Porter Jr.

FA Small Forward #22

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Otto Porter Jr. was waived by the Jazz on Monday, according to The Athletic’s Shams Charania.

OPJ never appeared in a game for Utah, so this move has no impact on fantasy hoops. It’s unlikely Porter Jr. takes the court again this season.

Will Richard

GSW Guard #3

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Will Richard (ankle) will not return to Saturday’s game against the Lakers.

Richard sprained his right ankle during the first quarter and has been ruled out for the rest of the night. While his absence does not significantly affect fantasy basketball, it does leave the Warriors down another rotation guard. Pat Spencer’s playing time is likely to increase with Richard done for the night. The rookie finishes with four points, one rebound and one blocked shot in five minutes.

Blake Hinson

UTA Forward #2
Keyonte George, Ace Bailey, Cody Williams, Blake Hinson and Kyle Filipowski will start Saturday’s game against the Pelicans.

George is back in the lineup after missing six games with a sprained right ankle, pushing Isaiah Collier to the bench. The other change to the lineup is Hinson, who replaces John Konchar in the starting five.

Bryce McGowens

NOP Guard #11
Herb Jones, Bryce McGowens, Saddiq Bey, Zion Williams and DeAndre Jordan will start Saturday’s game against the Jazz.

The Pelicans won’t have Dejounte Murray for Saturday’s game, as he is sitting for injury management reasons. McGowens moves into the starting lineup, which gives him some value as a deep-league streamer, but he is not a must-stream player.

Khris Middleton

DAL Forward #20

NBA insider Marc Stein reports that Khris Middleton is expected to finish the season with the Mavericks.

In the aftermath of the Mavericks agreeing to waive point guard Tyus Jones so he could explore joining a contender, some wondered whether Middleton would take the same approach. However, Stein reported that the veteran forward is expected to finish the season in Dallas. Middleton’s contract status may have influenced the decision, as he would lose his Bird rights if waived. He’s currently playing solid minutes, but that could change later in the season as the Mavericks focus on the future.

Darius Garland

LAC Guard #10

NBA insider Chris Haynes reports that Darius Garland (toe) plans to make his Clippers debut on Monday against the Warriors.

It was reported last week that Garland, who injured his right great toe while with the Cavaliers, was targeting Monday for his Clippers’ debut. Haynes’ report is further confirmation of this, with Garland having already been ruled out for Sunday’s game against the Pelicans. Given the time that he’s missed, the point guard will likely be under a minutes restriction for his first few games back.

Kawhi Leonard

LAC Forward #2
Kawhi Leonard (ankle) is not on the injury report for Sunday’s game against the Pelicans.

Leonard, who missed Thursday’s loss to the Timberwolves with a sore left ankle, did not participate in Saturday’s practice due to an illness. But he has been removed from the injury report for Sunday’s game, which means that the Clippers star will be available. Bennedict Mathurin is likely headed to the bench, but he should still be rostered in most leagues.

De'Anthony Melton

GSW Guard #8
Brandin Podziemski, De’Anthony Melton, Moses Moody, Gui Santos and Draymond Green will start Saturday’s game against the Lakers.

Melton and Green are back after sitting out Wednesday’s win over the Grizzlies. As a result of their returns, Will Richard and Al Horford will come off the bench. Horford offers a slightly higher fantasy ceiling than Richard in their respective roles due to Kristaps Porziņǵis’ continued absence due to illness.

Keyonte George

UTA Guard #3
Keyonte George (ankle) is available for Saturday’s game against the Pelicans.

George is back in the lineup after missing six games with a sprained right ankle. His return likely pushes Isaiah Collier, who should still play plenty off the bench. Those who have been rostering Collier should hold onto him for the silly season.

Russell Westbrook

SAC Guard #18
Russell Westbrook (thigh) is not on the injury report for Sunday’s game against the Lakers.

Westbrook will be back on the court after a thigh contusion sidelined him for Thursday’s win over the Mavericks. While his return means that Devin Carter will head back to the bench, the second-year guard should still play plenty with the Kings headed for the draft lottery.

Joel Embiid

PHI Center-Forward #21
Joel Embiid (oblique) will miss at least the next three games.

Injured during Thursday’s win over the Heat, Embiid has been diagnosed with a strained right oblique. He’ll miss at least three games before being re-evaluated, starting with Sunday’s game against the Celtics. When Embiid has been out, the 76ers have started Andre Drummond, with Adem Bona remaining in the backup center role. Look for that to be the case on Sunday.
