Injury

about 2 hours ago

Jonathan Kuminga (knee) is questionable for Monday’s game against the Magic.

Kuminga was held out of Saturday’s win over the Bucks for left knee injury management reasons. Mouhamed Gueye played 13 minutes off the bench, which isn’t enough time for him to affect fantasy basketball.

Jalen Johnson

ATL • Forward • #1

Recap

1 day ago

Jalen Johnson finished Saturday’s win over the Bucks with 23 points (10-of-20 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs), 10 rebounds, 12 assists and two three-pointers.

Johnson recorded his 12th triple-double of the season on Saturday, as he and the Hawks took advantage of a Bucks team that did not have Giannis Antetokounmpo. The Hawks’ star forward has provided first-round fantasy value throughout the season, and he’s shown no signs of slippage heading into the fantasy playoff weeks. The Hawks play four games in Week 21, starting with the Magic on Monday.

Nickeil Alexander-Walker

ATL • Guard • #9

Recap

1 day ago

Nickeil Alexander-Walker amassed 20 points (7-of-14 FGs, 3-of-3 FTs), three rebounds, one assist, three steals, one block and three three-pointers in Saturday’s win over the Bucks.

The Hawks have won nine straight games, and Alexander-Walker’s production is one of the reasons why. He’s scored 20 points or more in four of his last five appearances, and NAW has been a third-round player in nine-cat formats since the All-Star break. Thus far, Alexander-Walker has been one of the unsung heroes of fantasy basketball, based on his ADP and his production.

CJ McCollum

ATL • G • #3

Recap

1 day ago

CJ McCollum produced 30 points (10-of-18 FGs, 3-of-4 FTs), three rebounds, two assists, one steal and seven three-pointers in Saturday’s win over the Bucks.

McCollum caught fire from deep in Saturday’s 122-99 victory, shooting 7-of-10 from beyond the arc. This was his second 30-point effort since joining the Hawks, the first being a 38-point showing in a February 9 loss to the Timberwolves. Since moving into the starting lineup in the Hawks’ third game out of the All-Star break, McCollum has averaged 17.8 points and 2.1 three-pointers per game. His field-goal percentage hasn’t been the best, but managers needing points and three-pointers can benefit from rostering the veteran guard.

Omer Yurtseven

Transaction

1 day ago

NBA Insider Marc Stein reports the Warriors are expected to sign Omer Yurtseven to a 10-day contract.

Yurtseven previously spent three seasons in the NBA, two with the Heat and one with the Jazz. The 27-year-old center played with Panathinaikos in Greece for two years before signing to play in the G League earlier this month. The signing of Yurtseven is a direct result of the Warriors current injury problems.

Al Horford

GSW • Center • #42

Injury

1 day ago

Al Horford (calf) is out for Sunday’s game against the Knicks.

Horford left Friday’s loss to the Timberwolves with right calf tightness after just five minutes. The 39-year-old power forward has been ruled out ahead of Sunday’s game against the Knicks. With Kristaps Porzingis (illness) also out, Quinten Post could start and be worth streaming in standard leagues.

De'Anthony Melton

GSW • Point Guard and Shooting Guard • #14

Injury

1 day ago

De’Anthony Melton (knee) is out for Sunday’s game against the Knicks.

Melton started and had 12 points in 24 minutes in Friday’s loss to the Timberwolves. The 27-year-old point guard has been ruled out ahead of Sunday’s game against the Knicks for left knee injury management reasons. With Melton sidelined, Will Richard could move into the starting lineup.

Kristaps Porziņģis

GSW • Forward-Center • #8

Injury

1 day ago

Kristaps Porziņģis (illness) is out for Sunday’s game against the Knicks.

Porziņģis had 20 points in 22 minutes in Friday’s loss to the Timberwolves as he continues to play on a minutes restriction. The 30-year-old center will have the ultimate minutes restriction Sunday as he’s been ruled out for illness management. With Al Horford (calf) also out, Quinten Post could be worth streaming in standard leagues.

Draymond Green

GSW • Power Forward and Small Forward • #23

Injury

1 day ago

Draymond Green (back) is out for Sunday’s game against the Knicks.

Green was a late scratch before Friday’s loss to the Timberwolves with a back injury and will miss Sunday’s game against the Knicks as he continues to manage the injury. With De’Anthony Melton also out, Will Richard should see more minutes again, though he had no points in 29 minutes off the bench on Friday.

Quinten Post

GSW • Power Forward • #21

Injury

2 days ago

Quinten Post (ankle) finished Friday’s loss to the Timberwolves with seven points (2-of-4 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), three rebounds, one assist and one three-pointer.

Post only played 11 minutes on Friday, as he exited prematurely with a sprained left ankle. A potential absence for the second-year center would not have a significant impact on fantasy basketball, but the Warriors were already lacking depth in the post. Draymond Green (back) did not play on Friday, Al Horford (calf) exited after five minutes and Kristaps Porziņǵis is still under a minutes limit. The Warriors end Week 20 with a game against the Knicks on Sunday.

Kristaps Porziņģis

GSW • Forward-Center • #8

Recap

2 days ago

Kristaps Porziņǵis produced 20 points (7-of-16 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs), four rebounds, two assists, two steals, one block and two three-pointers in Friday’s loss to the Timberwolves.

Porziņǵis remains under a minutes restriction, with the Warriors’ big man logging 20 minutes on Friday. However, he took advantage of those minutes, recording his first 20-point game since joining the team. Add in the fact that Porziņǵis recorded a complete stat line, and few, if any, fantasy managers will turn their noses up at this performance. The Warriors, who lost Al Horford (calf) and Quinten Post (ankle) during Friday’s defeat, finish their Week 20 with a game against the Knicks on Sunday.

Brandin Podziemski

GSW • Shooting Guard • #2

Recap

2 days ago

Brandin Podziemski amassed 25 points (8-of-18 FGs, 4-of-5 FTs), 10 rebounds, two assists and five three-pointers in Friday’s loss to the Timberwolves.

After totaling 23 points on 8-of-18 shooting in his prior two appearances, Podziemski exceeded that number on Friday. Add in the rebounds and three-pointers, and this was a solid effort from the Warriors’ guard, even if he did not record any defensive stats. Since the All-Star break, Podziemski has provided sixth-round value in eight-cat formats. With Stephen Curry (knee) out for at least one more week, Podz is worth picking up if he’s on the waiver wire in 12-team leagues.

Seth Curry

GSW • Shooting Guard and Point Guard • #30

Injury

2 days ago

Seth Curry (adductor) will not return to Friday’s game against the Timberwolves.

Curry exited Friday’s game during the second quarter, and the Warriors announced at the beginning of the fourth that he won’t return due to a sore left adductor. Gary Payton II and Malevy Leons may pick up a few more minutes with Curry sidelined, but neither will be worth the streaming risk moving forward.
