Collin Sexton

UTA Shooting Guard #2

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players
Collin Sexton (illness), Jordan Clarkson (back soreness), and Kris Dunn (left foot) have been ruled out for Thursday’s game against the Rockets.

Get ready to see plenty of Keyonte George, Johnny Juzang, and Talen Horton-Tucker when the Jazz take on the Rockets. Sexton, Clarkson, and Dunn remain sidelined while Utah plays out the string, which means extended minutes for George, Juzang, and THT. Of the three, George is the player who managers in active leagues should ensure is not sitting on the waiver wire.

Alex Sarr

WAS Center #20

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players
Alex Sarr (toe) and Tristan Vukčević (knee) are out for Saturday’s game against the Heat.

While Sarr will miss a fourth consecutive game, Vukčević played just 11 minutes in Wednesday’s loss to the 76ers. The latter’s absence creates a spot in the starting lineup, with Julian Reese and Anthony Gill as potential replacements. Gill played 35 minutes on Wednesday and scored a career-high 21 points. When allowed to start, Reese can provide excellent value.

Justin Champagnie

WAS Guard-Forward #9

Justin Champagnie (knee) is available for Saturday’s game against the Heat.

Added to the Wizards’ injury report on Friday night, Champagnie is set to play on Saturday. He played 21 minutes in Wednesday’s loss to the 76ers and should take on a similar workload against the Heat.

Bilal Coulibaly

WAS Guard #0
Bilal Coulibaly (heel) and Tre Johnson (foot) are available for Saturday’s game against the Heat.

Coulibaly and Johnson are good to go after being considered questionable for Saturday’s game. Both are starters, but the playing time may be a concern. In Wednesday’s loss to the 76ers, Coulibaly played 19 minutes and Johnson played 24. Fantasy managers will hope that both play more in the Wizards’ penultimate game of Week 23.

Malachi Smith

BKN Guard #18

ESPN’s Shams Charania reports that the Nets have signed Malachi Smith to a two-year deal.

Less than 24 hours removed from a 12-point first quarter in a loss to the Hawks, Smith has received a standard contract. That said, he was productive across two 10-day contracts, earning the upgrade to a standard deal. Given the Nets’ injuries on the perimeter, Smith should play rotation minutes over the final eight days of the regular season.

DeMar DeRozan

SAC Guard-Forward #10

DeMar DeRozan finished Friday’s win over the Pelicans with 14 points (7-of-11 FGs), two rebounds, five assists and two steals.

DeRozan had a fairly quiet Friday night from a production standpoint. He fell way below his season average in points, which is understandable given he only played 23 minutes. But even in his limited time, he was one of Sacramento’s best passers on a night when the offense scored a lot of points. DeRozan was impactful in his minutes, but the fantasy production didn’t follow.

Nique Clifford

SAC Guard #5

Nique Clifford finished Friday’s win over the Pelicans with 23 points (9-of-16 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs), five rebounds, six assists, one steal and four three-pointers.

Clifford was one of the Kings’ most productive players on Friday; he led the team in assists and three-pointers while finishing second in points. The rookie also logged a team-high in minutes, and like fellow rookie Maxime Raynaud, Clifford has had a very encouraging season for the Kings. He’ll be an intriguing player to follow from a fantasy standpoint going forward.

Maxime Raynaud

SAC Center #42

Maxime Raynaud added 28 points (11-of-14 FGs, 6-of-7 FTs), nine rebounds and four assists in the win over the Pelicans on Friday.

Raynaud’s stellar rookie season continued on Friday, as he impressed by nearly logging 30 points. He shot the ball with extreme accuracy, got to the charity stripe a good amount, and finished one rebound shy of a double-double. Raynaud has been one of the bright spots for the Kings in what’s been a tough season from a wins and losses standpoint. Based on what he’s shown as a rookie, his ceiling should be high when projecting fantasy impact down the road.

Saddiq Bey

NOP Guard-Forward #41

Saddiq Bey added 20 points (7-of-15 FGs, 5-of-5 FTs), one rebound, three assists, one steal and one three-pointer in the loss to the Kings on Friday.

Bey was one of the Pelicans’ leaders in scoring and reached the 20-point mark for the first time since March 19 in a win over the Clippers. The veteran forward struggled from the three-point line but did his damage inside the arc and found scoring at the charity stripe. He didn’t fill up the stat sheet by any means, but his scoring was likely enough to serve as helpful across fantasy leagues. He’ll have a chance to put together another solid outing on Sunday against the Magic.

Zion Williamson

NOP Forward #1

Zion Williamson concluded Friday’s loss to the Kings with 13 points (5-of-11 FGs, 3-of-4 FTs), six rebounds, three assists and one steal.

Williamson had a relatively quiet outing. He played under 30 minutes and scored his fewest points since February 28 against the Jazz. The former first-overall pick’s numbers currently some of the lowest of his career. He’s not currently finishing the fantasy season strong and likely isn’t someone fantasy managers can trust on Sunday’s fantasy finale against the Magic.

Jeremiah Fears

NOP Guard #0

Jeremiah Fears had 28 points (10-of-19 FGs, 3-of-3 FTs), eight rebounds, six assists and five three-pointers in Friday’s loss to the Kings.

Fears followed his 21-point outing against the Trail Blazers on Thursday with another 20-point performance on Friday’s back-to-back. The rookie guard was exceptional from beyond the arc, impactful as a passer, and his effort on the glass led him to finish as the team’s leading rebounder. Fears has been one of the bright spots for New Orleans in what’s been another underwhelming season overall. He will have a chance to finish his rookie season on a high note over the Pelicans’ final four games.
