Hart did not play in Saturday’s loss to the Suns, as he’s dealing with an ankle injury that’s considered to be day-to-day. Mohamed Diawara moved into the starting lineup but did not play enough to affect fantasy basketball. Leave him on the waiver wire if Hart remains out.

After playing 17 minutes off the bench in Saturday’s win over the Lakers, the Time Lord is unlikely to be available on Sunday. If he sits, as expected, Yang Hansen and Duop Reath will pick up a few additional minutes off the bench. Neither player would be worth streaming since starter Donovan Clingan plays most of the available minutes.

Grant and Holiday have only recently returned after extended absences due to injury, and both played in Saturday’s win over the Lakers. Deni Avdija (back) potentially returning would help with the depth, and Sidy Cissoko, Caleb Love and Rayan Rupert should play plenty regardless of what happens with Portland’s leading scorer.

Given how well Love has played, it feels inevitable that he’ll eventually be upgraded to a standard contract. The rookie guard had another excellent night on Saturday, and he’s scored at least 17 points in five consecutive games. And a spot start could be in Love’s future, as the Trail Blazers visit Sacramento on Sunday. Jrue Holiday (9/3/4 with one three-pointer) played 20 minutes, but he isn’t far removed from an extended absence with a strained calf. If he sits, Love will likely start.

If there was an issue for Clingan on Saturday, it was the three-point shot. He made just one of his seven attempts, and that may be a little too much time on the perimeter for the 7-foot-2 center. However, Clingan still recorded a double-double in 27 minutes. Unfortunately, Clingan’s streak of games without a blocked shot has reached three, but he’s still averaging 1.3 per game on the season.

In his second game on the floor after missing nearly a month with a hamstring injury, Grant was highly efficient scoring-wise. He scored 22 points in as many minutes on solid percentages from the field and the foul line. Grant’s playing time will be limited for the foreseeable future due to injury management, and there’s no guarantee he plays in Sacramento on Sunday. Consider Grant to be questionable.

Since shooting 3-of-16 from the field and scoring six points in a January 3 loss to the Spurs, Sharpe has scored at least 20 in six of his last seven outings. With the consistent production, the Trail Blazers’ guard has been a top-50 player in eight-cat formats over the past two weeks. As a result, Sharpe’s season-long value has cracked the top-100. Portland still has one more game to play in Week 13, as they visit the Kings on Sunday.

For the first time since Halloween, Anunoby has recorded back-to-back 20-point games. He didn’t shoot the ball well against the Suns, but the rebounds, assists and steals should help compensate for the field-goal percentage. The assists and steals have been down recently, which has led to Anunoby being a ninth-round player in eight-cat formats over the past two weeks. However, his season-long value continues to exceed his Yahoo! ADP (66).

Towns recorded a double-double, but the performance felt a bit underwhelming from the Knicks’ star center. Phoenix’s physicality on defense appeared to affect KAT, who attempted half of his shots from beyond the arc. Shooting 43.3 percent from the field, he has only been a top-75 player over the past two weeks. Towns and the Knicks will look to bounce back on Monday against the Mavericks, the first of three games they’ll play in Week 14.

McBride put forth another quality performance filling in for Jalen Brunson, posting consecutive 20-point games for the first time this season.

Upgraded from questionable to probable earlier Saturday, Grant is good to go. He came off the bench in his first game back from an Achilles injury, resulting in Sidy Cissoko remaining in the starting lineup. Look for that to be the case again on Saturday since Grant is under a minutes restriction.

Already without Jalen Brunson (ankle), the Knicks won’t have Josh Hart (ankle) for Saturday night’s game. His absence means that Diawara will start, which gives the rookie a shot at achieving fantasy relevance. However, he is not a must-stream player. McBride will get another start in Brunson’s absence and should be rostered in some 12-team leagues.

Brunson did not play in Thursday’s loss to the Warriors after spraining his right ankle the night prior in Sacramento. Miles McBride scored 25 points and dished out six assists as the starting point guard, and he would be worth rostering if Brunson has to miss another game. For those who already have Deuce, he may be worth holding onto if the Knicks’ captain returns, given the team’s need for consistent bench production.

Grant returned to the floor for the first time in nearly a month on Thursday and provided the Blazers’ bench with a nice scoring boost. In just 23 minutes, the veteran forward utilized the free-throw line to help rack up points and ultimately finish as Portland’s second-leading scorer on the night. Grant also added a pair of blocks and a few assists along the way to provide a bit more fantasy production. How his role develops as the Blazers get healthier will be noteworthy from a fantasy basketball perspective.

Holiday logged 21 minutes in his third game back from a calf injury. The veteran guard posted a balanced stat line in his limited minutes, contributing as a scorer, rebounder, and passer. And as expected, Holiday made several plays defensively to impact the game. His numbers should improve as his minutes increase, but for now, fantasy managers must be patient in his return from injury.

Anunoby has scored 20 points or more in three of his last five games, but he hasn’t produced consecutive 20-point efforts since the end of October. While he did miss nine games in November/December due to injury, he has tended to take a back seat offensively more often than not. That wasn’t the case on Thursday, as Jalen Brunson’s absence led to Anunoby having his second game with at least 20 attempts this season. If Brunson’s forced to miss multiple games, Anunoby’s fantasy value may receive the most significant boost of the Knicks’ four healthy starters.

After managing just four rebounds in Wednesday’s loss to the Kings, Towns was far more active on the glass against the Warriors. The 20 rebounds were a season-high for the Knicks’ center, who also recorded his fourth double-double in five games. Unfortunately, Towns’ tendency to pick up silly fouls was once again an issue. While he didn’t foul out, foul trouble parked KAT on the bench at suboptimal times. And the Knicks can’t afford that, especially with Jalen Brunson (ankle) out. Towns will look to end Week 13 on a positive note when the Knicks host the Suns on Saturday.

While Bridges’ overall stat line was a bit lean, the offensive output was solid in the final game of the Knicks’ road trip. Before Thursday, he had not scored at least 20 points in a game since December 21. While Bridges isn’t expected to be a prolific scorer, he’s capable of offering more production than he’s managed over the past three weeks. And if Jalen Brunson (ankle) misses more time, the Knicks will need more scoring from Bridges.

With Jalen Brunson (ankle) unavailable, McBride moved into the starting point guard role on Thursday. And he performed well, matching his season-highs in points and assists. Rostered in 14 percent of Yahoo! leagues, McBride has been a top-100 player over the past two weeks. More should be learned about the severity of Brunson’s injury when the team returns home on Friday. Fantasy managers might as well add McBride before an announcement is made, just to be safe.

Sharpe stuffed the stat sheet in Thursday’s convincing victory over the Hawks. The fourth-year guard scored pretty well both inside and outside the arc and was able to capitalize at the FT line when fouls were generated.
