K. Huerter - SG

ATL

Kevin Huerter joins Trae Young, De'Andre Hunter, John Collins and Clint Capela in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Trail Blazers.

Huerter replaces Cam Reddish, who is out due to a knee injury after scoring 20 points in Friday's loss to the Jazz, in the starting lineup. With Bogdan Bogdanovic (knee) also sidelined, Huerter should play plenty Saturday night in the second game of a back-to-back.

R. Perry - PF

BKN

Reggie Perry (left groin soreness) played 13 minutes in Saturday's win over the Magic, tallying four points (2-of-3 FGs), three rebounds, one assist and one blocked shot.

Perry was nagged by a minor groin issue earlier this month, but he's played a total of 35 minutes in the Nets' last two games. He isn't enough of a factor to merit fantasy consideration, but with Brooklyn being short on bigs in the aftermath of the James Harden trade the rookie forward should play most nights. The wild card in this is Nicolas Claxton, who is getting closer to a return to action after missing time due to a knee injury.

L. Williams - SG

LAC

Lou Williams (left hip discomfort) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Pacers.

Williams and Patrick Beverley (personal reasons) were both held out of Friday's win over the Kings, which meant increased opportunities for both Luke Kennard and Reggie Jackson. If both Williams and Beverley, who's no longer on the injury report, play then Jackson would be the biggest loser when it comes to fantasy value.

A. Gordon - PF

ORL

Aaron Gordon missed all six of his 3-point attempts in Saturday’s loss to the Nets, tallying 11 points (4-of-11 FGs, 3-of-4 FTs), six rebounds, six assists and two steals in 31 minutes.

Gordon has never been a knockdown shooter from deep, so Saturday’s showing doesn’t come as a surprise. But he did enter the game shooting a career-high 38.3% with an average of 1.6 3-pointers per, so he is making strides. In the two games prior, Gordon shot a combined 6-of-9. The absences of Markelle Fultz (knee; out for season) and Evan Fournier (back) have given him even more opportunities to serve as a playmaker for the Magic, but that hasn’t increased Gordon fantasy value. He is providing 13th-round value in 9-cat formats, and 12th-round value in 8-cat.

H. Whiteside - C

SAC

Hassan Whiteside (left hip) has been upgraded to questionable for Sunday after missing the Blazer's last game.

Whiteside doesn't have any fantasy value through the first month of the season but if Marvin Bagley (left wrist) can't play on Sunday, he could get some burn behind Richaun Holmes. That's not us saying pick him up but rather just letting you know he might step onto the court. He's only played 10 minutes in each of the Kings last two games, totaling just 15 points and four rebounds.

T. Ross - SG

ORL

Terrence Ross played 32 minutes off the bench in Saturday’s loss to the Nets, posting a line of 23 points (9-of-17 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), three rebounds, three assists, one blocked shot and three 3-pointers.

Ross got off to a slow start in Brooklyn, but he was able to get going during the second half. He’s been on the receiving end of even more attention from opposing defenses, which was a factor in his recent struggles. In the four games prior to Saturday, Ross scored a total of 26 points on 10-of-38 shooting from the field (1-of-13 3-pointers). He bounced back on Saturday, and we’ll see if he can build on this effort Monday when the Magic visit the Knicks. Given Orlando’s lack of consistent scorers outside of Nikola Vucevic, Ross is a must-play regardless of league format.

T. Young - PG

ATL

Trae Young (back tightness) will play on Saturday night vs the Blazers.

Young will suit up for the Hawks in what should be a fun matchup against Damian Lillard and C.J. McCollum who have been lights out this season. 'Ice Trae' will look to bounce back from his worst game in 2020-21 in which he scored just four points on 1-of-11 shooting. He'll have to do it without wing Cam Reddish (left knee) who's been ruled out for the game.

C. Anthony - PG

ORL

Cole Anthony had a solid floor game in Saturday’s loss to the Nets, posting a line of 16 points (6-of-15 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), three rebounds, eight assists, three steals, one blocked shot and two 3-pointers in 29 minutes.

With Markelle Fultz (knee) done for the season, Anthony has been thrust into the starting point guard role. While the rookie didn’t shoot the ball particularly well on Saturday, he only turned the ball over once in his 29 minutes on the court. After putting up six and five assists in his first two games, Anthony had not accounted for more than four in any game since. We're still waiting on the rookie to score in an efficient manner, but Anthony's assist-to-turnover ratio on Saturday should be applauded.
