Alec Burks

G, Utah Jazz

Alec Burks chipped in 17 points, four rebounds, six assists, one steal and one block in the Jazz's 116-108 win over the Rockets on Wednesday night.

Guys bringing an offensive punch is going to be key for Utah in this series as they try to take down one of the greatest offenses of all-time. Burks came up huge on Wednesday night with his 17 — the most he's scored since January 22. Not only has Burks not scored that many points in a game since then, he's been a popular DNP candidate, many times playing less than 10 minutes or not at all. But he played his heart out in Game 2 and If this is the type of performance Utah can expect from Burks for the remainder of this series, their offense becomes even more dangerous.

Mikal Bridges

SF, Phoenix Suns

Mikal Bridges with start for the injured Devin Booker during Saturday's game versus the Spurs.

Bridges is worth a spot start and look in DFS, but we will see everyone in the starting lineup benefit from Booker's usage being distributed.

Eric Gordon

SG, Houston Rockets

Eric Gordon (right knee surgery) has been cleared to start running and could still be able to return to play around Christmas.

The Rockets, and Gordon, won't get into specifics but the original plan of a late-December return is still on the table. Gordon says he's feeling much better and it'll be interesting to see if his play improves as well. The sharpshooter was hitting just 30.9 percent of his shots before going under the knife.

JaMychal Green

PF, Los Angeles Clippers

JaMychal Green (tailbone) is questionable for Saturday's game.

Green has missed the last five games but does appear to be making some progress. He's been a solid deep-league play this season and has become a quality stretch four.

Devin Booker

SG, Phoenix Suns

Devin Booker (sore wrist) will not play on Saturday against the Spurs.

Booker also missed practice on Friday due to a right forearm contusion, so we have some more clarity about the issue. Hopefully the injury doesn't sideline him into next week. Booker's absence will open up the guard rotation substantially, so players like Ty Jerome, Elie Okobo and Tyler Johnson should see more run, while the ripple effect could also benefit guys like Mikal Bridges and Cam Johnson. Bridges is expected to start in Booker's place.

Jakarr Sampson

SF, Indiana Pacers

The Pacers are listing JaKarr Sampson (back) as questionable for Sunday.

Sampson has been out for nearly a month now and isn't worth tracking in all but the deepest of fantasy leagues.

Nikola Vucevic

C, Orlando Magic

Nikola Vucevic (right ankle sprain) is questionable to face the Pelicans on Sunday.

The general vibe is that Vucevic will be able to make his return tomorrow after missing the last 11 games, so fantasy GMs can keep their fingers crossed. Khem Birch will likely go back out of the rotation when Vuc is at full strength, while Mo Bamba's stock takes a hit — though he's worth holding onto in 14-teamers and beyond given his excellent play while Orlando was shorthanded.

Tyson Chandler

C, Houston Rockets

Tyson Chandler (illness) is questionable for Saturday's game.

Chandler has missed the last five games and isn't on the fantasy radar.

Dragan Bender

PF, Milwaukee Bucks

Dragan Bender (right ankle sprain) will not play on Saturday.

Bender hasn't appeared in Milwaukee's last five games but he has only been on the injured list for the last three. In better, and equally irrelevant, news, Kyle Korver has been taken off the injury report and is good to go.

Giannis Antetokounmpo

PF, Milwaukee Bucks

Giannis Antetokunmpo (right quad tendon soreness) is questionable for Saturday's game.

Antetokounmpo was also questionable to face the Grizzlies last night but was ultimately cleared to play, though a SEGABABA against Cleveland seems like a great spot for a night off if he's truly dealing with an injury. You can upgrade the rest of the Bucks in that case as there will be plenty of shots to go around. Eric Bledsoe is also ruled out, so it could be open season. Ersan Ilyasova is the most likely winner if Giannis sits, though DJ Wilson and Sterling Brown are dart throws in deeper formats.

Kyle Kuzma

PF, Los Angeles Lakers

Kyle Kuzma said that his current left ankle sprain is unrelated to the stress reaction that cost him the beginning of the year.

That's good news, and Kuzma is hoping to return to the court in the next few games after missing the last two contests. He shouldn't be considered a 12-team asset at this point, though his name value is keeping him rostered.
