K. Dunn - PG

ATL

Kris Dunn said his knee is progressing well, but he still hasn't been cleared for taking contact.

Dunn suffered an MCL sprain back in January, and his initial timetable was set at 4-6 weeks, so it's strange that this is still giving him issues. Perhaps this is simply the Hawks medical staff being ultra-cautious as they bring him back from a lengthy layoff, but we're somewhat concerned. In any case, Dunn is buried on the depth chart in Atlanta, so we're not expecting much from him in fantasy hoops this season.

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.

C. Reddish - SF

ATL

Cam Reddish (left knee contusion) has been ruled out for Saturday night's contest vs the Blazers.

Reddish was questionable coming into Saturday's game but will sit this one out. Hopefully it's just one game, as Cam was coming off a 20-point game in which he made four 3-pointers and grabbed five boards, too. Look for De'Andre Hunter and Brandon Goodwin to play some extra minutes tonight for the shorthanded Hawks.

M. Bagley - PF

SAC

Marvin Bagley (left wrist soreness) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Pelicans.

Bagley is coming off one his better games of the season, though he put up most of his numbers in garbage time as the Kings were blown out by the Clippers. He'll likely go through shoot around Sunday morning before Sac decides if he's good to go. But Hassan Whiteside (left hip) is also questionable and if neither can go, Holmes will play a bunch and would be a great DFS play.

N. Vucevic - C

ORL

Nikola Vucevic shot 14-of-22 from the field in Saturday’s loss to the Nets, accounting for 34 points, 10 rebounds, seven assists, five steals and six 3-pointers in 36 minutes.

Vucevic was excellent Saturday night, establishing season-highs in points, assists and steals. He isn’t a big free throws player, averaging just over two attempts per game, but that isn’t a huge deal. What is worth watching is Vucevic's workload, as Orlando was able to get him additional rest during Friday's blowout loss in Boston (26 minutes). Orlando won't have more than one day off in between games until February 2, which could impact Vucevic's minutes. Vooch has outperformed his Yahoo ADP (30) in 8- and 9-cat formats thus far, sitting within the top-25 in both.

J. Green - PF

BKN

Jeff Green finished Saturday’s win over the Nets with 10 points (4-of-6 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs), four rebounds and one 3-pointer in 30 minutes.

Given Brooklyn’s need for a capable perimeter shooter alongside their new trio of Kevin Durant, James Harden and Kyrie Irving, Joe Harris is likely to remain in the starting lineup once Irving (health and safety protocols) is cleared to return. That leaves Green as the odd man out, and his fantasy profile may actually improve with the second unit. While he isn’t a priority option in standard leagues, keep an eye on “Uncle Jeff.”

J. Harris - SF

BKN

Joe Harris shot 4-of-9 from three in Saturday’s win over Orlando, finishing with 17 points (6-of-11 FGs, 1-of-1 FTs) and five rebounds in 30 minutes.

Harris missed a little more time than he usually would in the fourth quarter, as he left the bench to get his left ankle re-taped during the inter-period break. But he looked no worse for the wear once back in the game, and the veteran shooter did not lack for clean looks Saturday night. Harris stands to benefit greatly in this new starting lineup, as opposing defenses will have to account for Kevin Durant, James Harden and Kyrie Irving (once he’s cleared to return). It would be wise to hold onto Harris, regardless of league format.
