NBA Player News

Bogdanovic suffered foot and wrist injuries late last season, ultimately undergoing offseason surgery on both. Now with the Nets after being included in the Mikal Bridges trade, the veteran forward’s wrist is in good condition, but the foot has taken longer to heal. Bogdanovic did say on Monday that he’s been cleared for some on-court work, but not 5-on-5. He was unlikely to be a must-draft player if fully cleared, so Monday’s update does not significantly impact Bogdanovic’s value. He may have value as a streamer during the season, especially for managers needing points.

Giddey is dealing with a sore right hip, hence his inclusion on the injury report. If he’s unable to play, the Bulls will have to rely even more on Coby White, who has been an outstanding fantasy option since the All-Star break. Dalen Terry, Talen Horton-Tucker and even Jevon Carter could be asked to play additional minutes if Giddey sits.

Coffey played four minutes before exiting Sunday’s game with a sore left knee. The Clippers were already without Kawhi Leonard, so they’ll finish the game down two rotation wings. Bogdan Bogdanovic should log additional minutes for the Clippers, who visit the Magic on Monday.

Kelly O has played in and started seven straight games for the Pels, and he should see his typical workload with the first five against Charlotte on Sunday.

Burks is once again considered probable due to his lingering back issue. The probable tag suggests he will be cleared to play, and the veteran guard should get another start on Monday. With Andrew Wiggins and Duncan Robinson out, Burks is worth streaming in deep leagues when allowed to start.

Initially questionable for Sunday’s game, Hawkins has been ruled out. His absence leaves the Pelicans thin on backcourt options, meaning more playing time for Antonio Reeves and Keion Brooks Jr. While Reeves would be worth a look as a desperation play in deep leagues, neither player qualifies as a must-stream.

Alec Burks and Pelle Larsson started for this duo against the 76ers on Saturday and it appears like they will again to kick off a new weak. Wiggins and Robinson will get a chance to return against the Celtics on Thursday.

Bassey will likely return to the rotation after a lengthy layoff and isn’t expected to impact fantasy basketball.

Bassey hasn’t played since late February and is effectively a third-string center on the depth chart. His return shouldn’t affect fantasy basketball significantly.

Yabusele is in danger of missing Sunday’s game and has been playing as Philly’s starting center as of late. Yabusele started alongside Adem Bona in the frontcourt his last outing, though. Ricky Council IV could get a spot with Bona if Yabusele is ruled out.

Grimes has been a featured player in Philly’s offense for a while now but will get a day of rest. Oubre, on the other hand, will miss his 10th straight game on Sunday. Justin Edwards appears set to have a prominent role on Sunday after at least 17 points in his previous seven games.
