Alfonzo McKinnie finished outside the top-350 in both 8- and 9-cat leagues while averaging 4.6 points, 2.8 rebounds, 0.6 steals and 0.7 turnovers in 14.8 mpg across 40 contests with .427/.215/.710 splits.

McKinnie has proven to be a nice depth piece for three teams in his NBA career after going undrafted in 2015. He has a non-guaranteed contract for next season and is off the fantasy radar outside of the deepest of leagues.

Fantasy News & NBA Updates

Kevin Durant
SF, Brooklyn Nets

The Nets will start a full head coaching search at the end of season in order to choose who will lead Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving and a team that is expected to be a title contender.

Shams is reporting that Nets owner Joe Tsai wants a full-scale head coaching process to take place in order for the team to identify the best partner for all parties involved, including team ownership, front office and the players. Current head coach Jacque Vaughn is the incumbent and will be a significant candidate to retain the job but there will be competition. Lakers assistant Jason Kidd, Sixers assistant Ime Udoka, Clippers assistant Ty Lue and former Knicks and a Rockets coach Jeff Van Gundy are some names that will be strongly considered.

Aaron Gordon
PF, Orlando Magic

Aaron Gordon (left hamstring strain), Evan Fournier (non-COVID illness) and Michael Carter-Williams (left foot tendon strain) are all out for Tuesday’s game against the Nets.

All three players are day-to-day and the Magic are choosing to take it easy with their injured guys with the NBA playoffs rapidly approaching. Orlando seems to have settled with the No. 8 seed and the team will try to be as competitive as possible when they face the Bucks.

Robert Covington
SF, Houston Rockets

Though Covington has struggled with his shooting touch in the seeding games, he is second in steals averaging 2.8 per game while he leads the NBA in deflections.

RoCo is making just 23.7 percent of his triples in the bubble but the veteran forward isn’t concerned and the sample size is too small to get him worried. The Rockets have been using Covington mainly as their starting center in their current scheme and he is definitely still adjusting to that role.

Eric Gordon
SG, Houston Rockets

Eric Gordon, who has been out for two weeks after spraining his ankle in the Rockets’ final restart scrimmage, is expected to return on Wednesday against the Pacers.

Assuming things go as expected, when Gordon returns on Wednesday the Rockets will be at full strength for the first time in the seeding games, less than a week before Monday’s start of the postseason schedule. The challenge will be getting their nine-man rotation in sync with one game, at most, at full strength. There will be weekend practices before playoff games begin, but there is uncertainty whether Gordon will have enough time to be sharp for the start of the postseason. Regardless, the veteran guard should provide more depth and scoring for a Rockets team that looks poised to advance deep into the playoffs.

Terrence Ross
SG, Orlando Magic

Terrence Ross has returned to the NBA Bubble following off-site medical tests that that were not COVID-related, after those tests were negative, according to Magic officials

Ross now simply needs to clear the quarantine and then he’ll be able to play. The Magic are most likely going to end with the No. 8 seed in the East but they need as much healthy bodies as they can get with Jonathan Isaac lost for the season and Aaron Gordon battling injuries.
