  • IND Point Guard #26

    Ben Sheppard (left oblique strain) is available for Sunday’s game against Sacramento.
    Sheppard is officially available for Sunday’s game, with Pacers coach Rick Carlisle expressing surprise that the second-year wing was on the injury report. Sheppard will provide depth on the wings but is unlikely to have the role that would make him fantasy-relevant.
  • POR Center #35

    Robert Williams (illness) is out for Saturday’s game against the Heat.
    Portland will be without two of its three rotation centers, as Deandre Ayton (left calf soreness) is also out. As a result, Donovan Clingan will be the starter against Miami, and he should be streamed wherever available. With Portland not in the mix for a postseason berth, we’re approaching the point when Clingan needs to be rostered in most fantasy leagues.
  • POR Center #2
    Deandre Ayton (left calf soreness) is out for Saturday’s game against the Heat.
    Ayton is out after he was initially listed as questionable with a calf injury Saturday. The 26-year-old center will be replaced in the starting lineup by Donovan Clingan, who is worth using in fantasy. Robert Williams (illness) is also out Saturday so Portland will certainly lean on Clingan for big minutes against the Heat.
  • UTA Shooting Guard #2
    Collin Sexton accumulated 20 points (8-of-17 FGs, 3-of-4 FTs), four rebounds, four assists, and one 3-pointer in 29 minutes in Saturday’s loss to Phoenix.
    Sexton has been one of Utah’s most consistent performers this season, but it hasn’t genuinely translated to his fantasy value. The Jazz guard has only been a 12th-round player in 9-cat formats for the season. However, Sexton, who has scored 20 points or more in four straight and seven of his last eight, is ranked just outside the top 100 over the past two weeks. He’ll look to end Week 11 on a high note when the Jazz host Brooklyn on Sunday.
  • UTA Center #24
    Walker Kessler logged 31 minutes in Saturday’s loss to the Suns, amassing 16 points (7-of-9 FGs, 2-of-3 FTs), 13 rebounds, and two blocked shots.
    Kessler has reached double digits in rebounds in five straight games, recording four double-doubles. Providing 4th-round value for the season, the Jazz center has been one round better over the past two weeks. Utah’s upcoming schedule is the only negative for managers who have Kessler rostered. After Sunday’s game against the Nets, the Jazz only play two games during Week 12.
  • UTA Power Forward #23
    Lauri Markkanen shot 7-of-17 from the field and 7-of-8 from the foul line in Saturday’s loss to Phoenix, scoring 24 points with four rebounds, two assists, one steal, and three 3-pointers in 31 minutes.
    Markkanen has scored at least 23 points in three straight and six of his last nine games. And despite shooting 39.5% from the field during that stretch, he has provided 4th-round value in 9-cat formats. While Markkanen’s season-long value remains three rounds behind his Yahoo ADP, things may be looking up. The concern is a potential shutdown, with the Jazz prioritizing improving their draft lottery odds. The Jazz host Brooklyn on Sunday.
  • PHX Shooting Guard #8
    Grayson Allen finished Saturday’s win over Utah with 14 points (5-of-11 FGs), four rebounds, four assists, two steals, and four 3-pointers in 30 minutes.
    After shooting 5-of-6 from three and scoring 23 points in Thursday’s win over the Hawks, Allen knocked down four more triples on Saturday. He’s averaged 13.0 points and 3.2 3-pointers per game over the past two weeks, providing 8th-round value in 9-cat formats. Allen’s rostered in just 19% of Yahoo leagues, and he’s worth a roll of the dice for Sunday’s game against the Hornets despite coming off the bench.
  • PHX Small Forward #35
    Kevin Durant shot 11-of-19 from the field and 2-of-3 from the foul line in Saturday’s win over Utah, tallying 25 points, five rebounds, seven assists, one steal, and one 3-pointer in 36 minutes.
    Durant has shot the ball well recently, making 57.6% of his attempts over the past two weeks. His overall production has been good for top-25 value in 9-cat formats, even with KD averaging 3.5 turnovers per game. He was responsible for five on Saturday, but that category has minimal impact on Durant’s value due to his all-around excellence. The Suns end Week 11 with a home game against the Hornets on Sunday.
  • PHX Shooting Guard #1
    Devin Booker logged 36 minutes in Saturday’s 114-106 win over the Jazz, accounting for 34 points (12-of-20 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs), five rebounds, four assists, two steals, and six 3-pointers.
    Utah didn’t have an answer for Booker, who scored 22 of his game-high 34 points during the first half of Saturday’s victory. He’s scored 30 points or more in nine games this season, including all three meetings with the Jazz. Booker and the Suns aren’t done with Week 11, either, as they host the Hornets on Sunday.
  • BKN Point Guard #1
    D’Angelo Russell (right shin contusion) is out for Sunday’s game against Utah.
    Sunday’s game will be the fourth missed by Russell, who was injured during a January 4 loss to Philadelphia. Keon Johnson is still worth rostering in deep leagues, and Ben Simmons will serve as the primary playmaker in the Nets’ starting lineup.
  • BKN Small Forward #0
    Dariq Whitehead (concussion protocol) is questionable for Sunday’s game against Utah.
    Whitehead, who was held out of Friday’s loss to the Nuggets, is not in the rotation when healthy. His status does not impact fantasy basketball.
