Daniel Theis starting at center on Sunday vs. CLE

Daniel Theis
PF, Boston Celtics

Daniel Theis will draw the start at center in Sunday's preseason game with the Cavs.

This will be Theis' second straight start and his fantasy stock continues to trend upwards. He can do a little bit of everything and should blast past his previous career-high of 14.8 mpg. Last season, in 13.8 mpg, Theis averaged 5.7 points, 3.4 rebounds, 1.0 points, 0.3 steals, 0.6 blocks and 0.4 threes, so deep-league managers would definitely have use for 20 -24 minutes of Theis.

Jayson Tatum

Joe Harris
SF, Brooklyn Nets

Joe Harris wants to return to Brooklyn and the Nets have made it clear that he is their top priority in the offseason, but he’s expected to have plenty of suitors.

Harris said back in February that his preference was to re-sign with the Nets in order to play with Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving, and has steadfastly maintained the same position up until now. Brooklyn has already committed $132 million to a dozen players for next season, not including Harris or a $5 million team option on Garrett Temple. Ex-Nets assistant GM Bobby Marks recently mentioned that if Harris got a starting salary of $12.2 million, the Nets could face a $50 million luxury tax. The Knicks, the Hawks, the Hornets and the Wolves could try to lure away the talented sharpshooter, while there have been rumors of Harris sign-and-trades, with capped-out teams like the Sixers or the Warriors. One things is for sure, Harris should maintain a similar role going forward whether he re-signs with the Nets or not.

Bruno Fernando
PF, Atlanta Hawks

Bruno Fernando has spent part of his offseason watching every game from his rookie year, as he looking for areas to improve in his game.

“I was just really not being decisive,” Fernando said. “I think that was the biggest thing that really didn’t allow me to be myself because I was scared of making mistakes.” Fernando has been working a lot with Clint Capela at the Hawks minicamp that started last week. The Angolan big will have to fight Dewayne Dedmon for minutes next year as the Hawks are expected to start John Collins next to Capela. Fernando’s work ethic though is a great sign and it remains to be seen if he will be able to crack the rotation.

Kawhi Leonard
SF, Los Angeles Clippers

Marc Stein of NY Times is reporting that Jeff Van Gundy and Ty Lue have emerged as the early favorites to become the next head coach of the Clippers.

Lue appears to suddenly be in great demand around the league with the Sixers, the Pelicans and the Rockets reportedly after him. The report says that the Clippers may have decided to part ways with Doc Rivers because they didn’t want to lose him to a contender, although this seems to be a stretch. Van Gundy meanwhile hasn’t coached an NBA team since back in 2007 when he spent four years with the Rockets. Look for more names to come up in the next few days although it’s almost certain that the Clippers will hire a veteran coach.

James Harden
Team, Houston Rockets

According to a report, the Rockets have interest in Doc Rivers as they continue their search for a head coach.

Mike D'Antoni will not be back next year, and rumors have swirled around candidates such as Jeff Van Gundy. However, Rivers could be a possibility now that he will not return to the Clippers. Rivers held a regular season record of 356-208 during his tenure with the Clippers.
