After a disappointing two-game road swing in which he shot 10-of-24 from the field in losses to the Spurs and Hornets, Bridges looked rejuvenated on Saturday. He went off during the second quarter, scoring 20 points on 8-of-10 shooting. Fantasy managers will undoubtedly take the complete stat line from Bridges, who has provided top-75 value in eight-cat formats over the past month. New York plays four games during Week 21, starting with the Mavericks on Tuesday.

With Green sidelined on Sunday, Kevin Porter Jr. and Gary Trent Jr. filled out the backup guard minutes. KPJ scored 28 points in 23 minutes, while GTJ added 10 points in 29 minutes in what was a rough shooting night for him. Both players will have streaming appeal if Green is sidelined.

Giannis is once again on the injury report with a left foot sprain. The 30-year-old power forward is expected to suit up given his probable listing. If he’s ruled out, Gary Trent Jr. and Kevin Porter Jr. could move into the starting lineup.

With both players out after initially being listed as questionable, the Jazz will have two open spots in their starting lineup. Keyonte George, Johnny Juzang and Brice Sensabaugh will all be candidates to fill the void, though all three should see a bump in minutes and usage regardless of who starts.

Rhoden missed Sunday’s game with a hand injury and could miss a second-straight game on Tuesday. However, since dropping a career-best 25 points on March 12, Rhoden hasn’t appeared in a game for the Raptors, though he has spent time in the G League. Unfortunately, his status for Tuesday’s game will continue to not impact their rotation.

Mitchell popped up on the injury report as questionable with an illness due to a stomach ailment that came on this afternoon. No word yet on what exactly he had for lunch yet, though. Terry Rozier, Jaime Jaquez Jr. and Haywood Highsmith are all candidates for increased minutes if Mitchell is ultimately ruled out.

Toronto will continue to alternate rest days, and IQ and Poeltl will be back after sitting out on Sunday. Their returns will push Jamal Shead and Orlando Robinson back to the bench. They’ll be resting RJ Barrett and Ochai Agbaji for this game, so there will still be minutes off the bench for Shead and Robinson, though their upside will be limited in comparison to Sunday’s game.

Head coach Jamahl Mosley said Anthony is “trending in the right direction,” which doesn’t provide much clarity. He was listed as questionable instead of doubtful ahead of Monday’s game, which is a stronger indicator that a return is close. Orlando will play in San Antonio on Tuesday on the second night of a back-to-back, which will be Anthony’s next chance to suit up. Cory Joseph will continue to start at center, with Anthony Black filling out the backup minutes.

Barrett and Agbaji are set to rest again Tuesday just as they did last Friday. Ja’Kobe Walter should be in the starting while AJ Lawson and Jamison Battle also stand to see additional minutes.

Wallace has been sidelined for over a week now with this shoulder injury. However, with Trae Young still healthy, Wallace likely wouldn’t have seen the floor even if he was healthy.

Nothing new here as Young has been on the injury report with an Achilles issue for most of the season. The 26-year-old point guard is likely to suit up given his probable listing so fantasy managers shouldn’t have anything to worry about.
