Sheppard has missed the team’s last two games, while Walker was able to play through this illness in their last game. Sheppard should return to his spot in the starting unit if he is available, which would push Quenton Jackson to the bench. Walker’s potential absence would open up extra minutes for Obi Toppin

Johnson will miss a game for the first time this season, and his absence frees up minutes for some of San Antonio’s reserves to claim. Malaki Branham and Sandro Mamukelashvili may play additional minutes, but neither is worth streaming in most leagues.

This is a concerning development, as Kuminga was absent from the initial injury report. However, the Warriors have enough depth to account for his absence if Kuminga cannot play. Kyle Anderson is one player whose minutes would increase, but there isn’t much to gain from streaming him in most leagues.

Smith is good to go after the Bulls initially listed him as questionable. He’ll continue to serve as Nikola Vucevic’s backup, a role that isn’t particularly fruitful regarding fantasy value.

Anunoby had a big evening in Salt Lake City, one of the few Knicks capable of making that claim on Saturday. The 27 points are the most he’s scored in a Knicks uniform, and he shot 7-of-12 from beyond the arc. Entering the season with a Yahoo ADP of 80, Anunoby is closing in on top-25 per-game value in 9-cat formats. The Knicks play four games in Week 6, beginning with the Nuggets on Monday.

Kessler’s ability to play 35 effective minutes without experiencing a setback was encouraging, as was his ability to produce alongside John Collins. Rarely on the court together this season, they started alongside each other on Saturday, with both recording double-doubles. The Jazz play two back-to-backs during their four-game Week 6 slate, but the minutes logged on Saturday suggest Kessler will not be restricted.

Sexton made big plays to keep the Knicks at arm’s distance during the fourth quarter, a fitting conclusion to one of his best performances of the season. Saturday’s win was his fourth 20-point game, and the 25 points represented a season-high for Sexton. He remains ranked outside the top 150 in 9-cat formats, but Sexton appears to be trending in the right direction.

Collins’ production is noteworthy because he and Walker Kessler started alongside each other for the first time this season. According to Cleaning the Glass, the tandem shared the court for 110 possessions before Saturday. With Kyle Filipowski (ankle) sidelined, Collins and Kessler shared the court more than they had at any point this season, and both were successful. That’s worth tracking during Utah’s four-game Week 6 slate.
