Sun Jan 23 202218:47Patrick Beverley Not Available Against NetsPatrick BeverleyPGClippersIavaronis
Minnesota Timberwolves guard Patrick Beverley (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. He suffered a right ankle sprain during Wednesday's game and will sit this one out due to the same issue. This is a tough blow because Beverley is one of the Wolves best defenders. Jaylen Nowell and Malik Beasley should see more minutes in the rotation now. Josh Okogie could play more minutes as well due to defensive reasons. Beasley is the best streaming option out of the three due to his scoring ability.

Kevin HuerterSGHawksDef Fresh Flow
Atlanta Hawks forward Danilo Gallinari (Achilles) and guard Kevin Huerter (hip) are available for Sunday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. Gallinari will return after a one game absence and has been playing well lately. In fact, he's coming off four straight double-digit scoring games. That'll make him an interesting fantasy option for Sunday's slate. Bogdan Bogdanovic (knee) will remain sidelined, so Huerter should play minutes into the 30s on Sunday. That being said, he's worth a look as a streaming option since he'll get extended playing time.

Golden State Warriors guard Klay Thompson (knee) will be available for Sunday's game against the Utah Jazz. Thompson was rested during the second game of the back-to-back set on Friday. That means, he'll return on Sunday and shouldn't be limited at all. His return should push Jordan Poole to the second unit, while Damion Lee won't play as much. Fantasy managers should double check and make sure Thompson is back in their lineups for this game.

Portland Trail Blazers forward Nassir Little (knee) will be active for Sunday's game against the Toronto Raptors. He injured his knee last Wednesday and struggled during Friday's game. However, Little is feeling good enough to play here and should get significant minutes. Fantasy managers shouldn't be too concerned about Little. He should get at least 30 minutes or more during most games.

Sun Jan 23 202217:55Clint Capela On Minutes LimitClint CapelaCRocketsTeam Lorin
Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela (ankle) will be on a minutes limit for Sunday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. He came off the bench and played 26 minutes on Friday without any issues. Head coach Nate McMillan hasn't shared how many minutes Capela will play on Sunday, but it should be similar to Friday. Onyeka Okongwu has been solid lately, but could begin losing value with Capela getting back into action. Fantasy managers should hold onto Okongwu for now, but his value could quickly evaporate.

Sun Jan 23 202217:51Gary Harris Won't Suit Up Against BullsGary HarrisSGNuggetsDef Fresh Flow
Orlando Magic guard Gary Harris (back) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Chicago Bulls. This is certainly frustrating with RJ Hampton (knee) and Terrence Ross (knee) both sidelined as well. This means, Jalen Suggs and Cole Anthony will have to play heavy minutes and see a spike in usage on Sunday. Both should be viewed as intriguing DFS options for Sunday's slate.

Orlando Magic guard Terrence Ross (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Chicago Bulls. He was only able to play nine minutes on Friday due to right knee soreness. He'll sit this one out, but hopefully won't miss too much time due to this injury. In the meantime, Franz Wagner and Chuma Okeke should benefit the most with Ross sidelined. Both are worth a look as streaming options or DFS choices for Sunday's slate.

Sun Jan 23 202217:44Anthony Davis Remains Out On SundayAnthony DavisCPelicansTeam Lorin
Los Angeles Lakers center Anthony Davis (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Miami Heat. There was some optimism that Davis would be able to suit up for this contest. He was listed as questionable, but the team has decided to sit Davis out for at least one more game. In the meantime, Dwight Howard should see plenty of time at center. He'll have some low-end streaming appeal for this matchup.

Sun Jan 23 202217:40Gordon Hayward Downgraded To DoubtfulGordon HaywardSFCelticsDef Fresh Flow
Charlotte Hornets forward Gordon Hayward (foot) has been downgraded to doubtful for Sunday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. He played 30 minutes on Friday and didn't seem bothered by the foot issue. However, it appears the Hornets are going to take the cautious approach here. Kelly Oubre Jr. and Cody Martin are expected to gain the most value from the loss of Hayward. Oubre would have plenty of streaming appeal if Hayward is out. Martin might be a deep league option, but there should be better options available.

Sun Jan 23 202216:31P.J. Tucker Questionable Against The LakersP.J. TuckerPFRocketsTeam Lorin
Miami Heat forward P.J. Tucker (calf) is considered questionable for Sunday's matchup versus the Lakers. After only eight minutes of work, the veteran quickly exited Friday's game against the Atlanta Hawks because of a left calf injury. With Tyler Herro out because of COVID-19 health and safety protocols and Kyle Lowry (personal) set to miss his fourth consecutive outing, Duncan Robinson, Max Strus, and Gabe Vincent should benefit.

Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro remains out on Sunday versus the Lakers as he continues to navigate his way through COVID-19 health and safety protocols. It's unknown how much more time the 22-year-old will miss, and with Kyle Lowry (personal) in line to miss his fourth consecutive outing, Gabe Vincent and Duncan Robinson should benefit. Though Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo should get most of the offensive chances against Los Angeles, Vincent and Robinson should see an uptick in production while also enjoying an increase in minutes.

Miami Heat guard Kyle Lowry (personal) won't play on Sunday versus the Lakers. The veteran will now miss his fourth consecutive game, opening the door for Gabe Vincent to see some extra opportunities. The 25-year-old is averaging 13.2 points and 32.9 minutes throughout 13 starts this season, and he will be matched up against a Los Angeles team that has allowed the second-most fantasy points per game to opposing point guards this year.

Seth CurryPGTrailblazersTeam Erik
Philadelphia 76ers shooting guard Seth Curry (ankle) and small forward Danny Green (hip) have been ruled out for Sunday's game vs. the Spurs. Curry's absence due to a sore left ankle has now extended to two contests, with Isaiah Joe having stepped into his starting spot Friday. Green will have missed each of Philly's last six outings, which has largely allowed Furkan Korkmaz to see both elevated minutes and offensive usage. The absence of both Curry and Green likely funnels offensive duties in the direction of Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey, while putting added attention on Korkmaz's long-range abilities. The next chance for either sharpshooter to return comes Tuesday against New Orleans.

Sat Jan 22 202219:53Kelly Olynyk Lands In League’s COVID-19 ProtocolsKelly OlynykPFHeatTeam Erik
Detroit Pistons center Kelly Olynyk has been placed in the league's health and safety protocols, ruling him out indefinitely, beginning with Sunday's game vs. Denver. Olynyk played in just two games since returning to action after a two-plus month layoff due to a sprained knee. Isaiah Stewart stands to remain the team's starting center with Trey Lyles likely to see a larger role within the second unit without Olynyk available. While the veteran big man has scored in double figures in nine of his 12 outings this season, his availability has been extremely limited, making him a difficult season-long asset to hold down a roster spot.

Sat Jan 22 202219:47Caris LeVert Will Miss Saturday’s ContestCaris LeVertSGNetsSchellackers
Indiana Pacers point/shooting guard Caris LeVert (calf) has been ruled out for Saturday's game vs. Phoenix due to right calf soreness. LeVert's absence is his second in a row, paving the way for Chris Duarte, Justin Holiday, and Lance Stephenson to all see larger roles on the wing; with Malcolm Brogdon (Achilles) also down, Keifer Sykes stands to see significant minutes at the point. LeVert was in a sizable offensive rhythm prior to the ailment cropping up, as he averaged 23 PPG over his last four contests while shooting 56.5 percent overall. His next chance to return to action comes Monday against the Pelicans.

Sat Jan 22 202219:43Malcolm Brogdon Will Miss At Least Six More GamesMalcolm BrogdonSGBucksFree Agent
Indiana Pacers point guard Malcolm Brogdon (Achilles) has been shut down for the next 10 days in order to continue rehabbing his sore right Achilles. Indiana is set for six contests in that span, with Keifer Sykes the short-term beneficiary of Brogdon's absence. Brogdon has battled the Achilles ailment for more than a month, having appeared in just three games since Dec. 15. His numbers have taken a slight dip this season, although he has been a solid source of production at 18.5 points, 5.9 assists, and 5.1 boards per contest. Without him in the mix, Caris LeVert, Chris Duarte, Lance Stephenson, and Duane Washington Jr. are all likely to take on elevated ball-handling duties, thereby increasing their DFS and season-long viability for the time being.

Kevin HuerterSGHawksDef Fresh Flow
Atlanta Hawks shooting guard/small forward Kevin Huerter (hip) and power forward Danilo Gallinari (Achilles) have been deemed questionable to suit up for Sunday's contest vs. Charlotte. Huerter has averaged 13 points over his last four games (all starts), shooting 40 percent from beyond the arc. Gallinari missed Friday's outing due to right Achilles soreness, which allowed Kevin Knox II to jump into the rotation. Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot would likely step into the starting five if Huerter is unavailable, and thereby would see elevated DFS appeal. Fantasy managers will want to check back prior to tip-off to get the final word on who the Hawks have at their disposal.

Brandon ClarkePFGrizzliesFree Agent
Memphis Grizzlies center Steven Adams (ankle) and power forward/center Brandon Clarke (back) have earned questionable designations ahead of Sunday's contest vs. Dallas. Adams is dealing with a sore right ankle but has not missed time over the last four outings due to the ailment. Clarke has been an integral member of Memphis' second unit, not having missed a game over the last month. If neither is available, Xavier Tillman would step into a massive frontcourt role and become a heavily featured DFS target. Fantasy managers will want to check back prior to tip-off to get the final word on Adams and Clarke's respective statuses.

Sat Jan 22 202219:18Anthony Davis Earns Questionable Tag For Sunday’s GameAnthony DavisCPelicansTeam Lorin
Los Angeles Lakers power forward/center Anthony Davis (knee) has been bumped up to questionable for Sunday's contest vs. the Heat due to his sprained left MCL. Davis has been sidelined since Dec. 17, with the decision of his suiting up likely to go right up to tip-off. When healthy, Davis has delivered at his usual All-Star form, averaging 23.3 points and 9.9 rebounds on 52.1 percent shooting. (His two blocks per game would rank sixth in the league if he reached the minutes threshold.) It's unclear exactly how Frank Vogel would tinker with his frontcourt rotations upon Davis' return, but Dwight Howard, Trevor Ariza, and DeAndre Jordan would all likely be facing reduced roles.

Sat Jan 22 202219:11Rajon Rondo Remains Unavailable For Saturday’s GameRajon RondoPGLakersFree Agent
Cleveland Cavaliers point guard Rajon Rondo (hamstring) has been ruled out for Saturday's contest against Oklahoma City due to a sore right hamstring. Rondo has missed each of Cleveland's past six outings, allowing Brandon Goodwin to serve as Darius Garland's primary backup. Since his acquisition, Rondo has appeared in just three games, but he has averaged 10.3 points, 4.7 assists, and 4.0 rebounds while shooting 42.9 percent from behind the arc. His limited minutes likely keep him on the wrong side of season-long relevance in the vast majority of formats, with his next chance to suit up coming Monday vs. the Knicks.
