White’s shooting slump continued Monday. He made 3-of-7 attempts from behind the 3-point line, but only 5-of-15 field goals overall. White saved his night by getting to the free throw line and making 6-of-7 attempts there. He had five assists, but also turned the ball over four times. White might have more opportunity in the future if injuries to Zach LaVine and Josh Giddey linger.

Porzingis has missed Boston’s last three games, and Al Horford has replaced him in the starting lineup. With the Celtics visiting the Rockets on Friday, fantasy managers should prepare for Porzingis and Horford missing one of the following two games. If KP plays against Minnesota, don’t be surprised if Horford sits.

Dick is back in the lineup after sitting out Tuesday’s loss to the Celtics. His return means Ja’Kobe Walter will head to the bench, where the rookie offers minimal fantasy value. While Walter will have value later in the season, as the Raptors are unlikely to be a playoff team, that isn’t the case right now.

Quickley is back after tearing a ligament in his elbow on November 10. The 25-year-old shooting guard has only appeared in three games this season. While Quickley will be back in action against the Nets, he’s said to be on a minutes restriction so fantasy managers can tread lightly.

Suggs injured his wrist Sunday against the Nets and didn’t return, but it’s no surprise he’s available Wednesday after he was listed as probable. With Anthony Black (back) out, Cole Anthony will serve as Orlando’s backup point guard.

Black will miss his second straight game due to back spasms. He’s been called on to start at times with the Magic dealing with a multitude of injuries, but isn’t consistent enough to be fantasy-relevant.

While Jalen Suggs is available to play after exiting Sunday’s win over the Nets with an injury, Queen has been ruled out (along with Anthony Black). The absences mean more rotation minutes for Cole Anthony, who had fallen in the pecking order before Suggs’ injury.

No surprise here as Terry was initially listed as probable for Wednesday’s game. Unfortunately, the 22-year-old shooting guard doesn’t play enough minutes off the bench to be worth rostering in fantasy at this time.

LaVine is back after sitting out Monday’s win over the Hornets. His return means Julian Phillips heads back to the bench, where he offers little fantasy value. There’s no need to roster Phillips in fantasy leagues.
