K. Walker - PG

BOS

Kemba Walker (left knee) will start Sunday's game against the Knicks.

Walker, who will be on a limit of 20 minutes, joins Jaylen Brown and Marcus Smart on the perimeter Sunday afternoon. Grant Williams and Tristan Thompson, who started Friday's win over the Magic, are the starters in the frontcourt.

A. Burks - SG

NYK

Alec Burks (left ankle) will not play in Sunday's game against the Celtics.

Burks will miss another game due to the ankle injury, and he is still considered to be day-to-day. Knicks coach Tom Thibodeau did not rule out the possibility of Burks playing Monday afternoon against the Magic, however. That being said, conditioning remains a concern given the amount of time that he has missed. New York will then have a couple days off before the start of their west coast trip on Thursday, giving Burks a couple more practices to work towards a return.

N. Noel - C

NYK

Nerlens Noel (lower back soreness) is available to play in Sunday's game against the Celtics.

Noel had one of his best games of the season Friday night, as he rejected six shots in a loss to the Cavaliers. He will fill his usual backup center role, but his fantasy value isn't great due to starter Mitchell Robinson's improvement when it comes to avoiding foul trouble.

M. Robinson - C

NYK

Mitchell Robinson (right heel contusion) will start Sunday's game against the Celtics.

Robinson was listed as probable, so the expectation was that he would be able to play. Go ahead and slot the third-year center into your lineups. The Knicks will stick with the same starting five, as Robinson is joined by Julius Randle, RJ Barrett, Elfrid Payton and Reggie Bullock.

T. Fall - C

BOS

Tacko Fall (left ankle sprain) has been downgraded to out for Sunday's game against the Knicks.

Fall was unlikely to be a rotation player with the Celtics returning many of their key contributors, so he wasn't worth rostering if cleared to play. Leave the fan favorite on the waiver wire.

K. Walker - PG

BOS

Kemba Walker will play no more than 20 minutes in Sunday's game vs. the Knicks, according to Celtics coach Brad Stevens.

The minutes limit was to be expected, as Walker will be making his 2020-21 season debut Sunday afternoon. Backups Jeff Teague and Payton Pritchard will see their fantasy values take a hit, and it will only get worse for them as Walker's minutes increase moving forward.

A. Drummond - C

CLE

Cavaliers GM Koby Altman told Andre Drummond that his role in the rotation won't change following the acquisition of Jarrett Allen.

Allen and Taurean Prince were acquired from the Nets as part of the four-team deal headlined by James Harden, giving Cleveland two (relatively) young but experienced players to help with the team's rebuild. How does the addition of Allen change things in the middle? Not at all, as far as Drummond is concerned. "We value what he brings to the table," Altman said according to The Athletic. "We value his force, energy, work ethic and his availability, to be quite frank with you. I think he’s going to be a huge help. His role doesn’t change. Be the same enthusiastic starting center for us that you’ve been and help our guys continue to grow." The center who will take a hit is JaVale McGee, who is playing just under 17 minutes per game. Look for Allen to ultimately take over as the backup center.

T. Prince - SF

CLE

The Cavaliers believe that recent acquisition Taurean Prince will given them another capable 3-and-D wing, along with Isaac Okoro and Cedi Osman.

While Cleveland has a surplus of big men, the team was a bit lacking on the wings before getting involved in the four-team trade centered around James Harden. GM Koby Altman was able to add Prince and Jarrett Allen to the roster, and in the case of the former the Cavaliers believe that he can help at both the three and the four. "He’s 6-7, he’s tough, can switch multiple positions," Altman said of Prince. "But I think he’s gonna be able to be multidimensional for us on the defensive end and fit right in as a spacer on the offensive end." Prince's numbers in Brooklyn this season weren't great, but the move to Cleveland gives him a better shot at becoming a relevant fantasy option.
