Sekou Doumbouya

PF, Detroit Pistons

Not much has gone right for the Pistons through the first 13 games, but rookie Sekou Doumbouya is playing well for the team’s G League affiliate.

Doumbouya, who turns 19 next month, is scoring 18.5 points per game on 56 percent shooting from the field and 41.5 from 3-point range. The rookie brings a combination of size and skill in a 6’9”, 230-pound package that the Pistons lack, but he is still raw and is learning how to play the game. For now he is a stash in dynasty leagues while the Pistons could integrate him into their rotation later this season.

Lonnie Walker IV

SG, San Antonio Spurs

Lonnie Walker IV (bruised right knee) is listed as questionable for Monday's game vs. the Rockets.

Walker suffered a non-contact injury in the last game that had observers fearing the worst. It looks like he's avoided major injury and he has a chance to suit up tomorrow. That said, the guard rotation in San Antonio is a mess and, even if the dust settles, Walker's fantasy game is very one-dimensional at this stage in his career. Whenever Gregg Popovich commits to a youth movement in San Antonio, we'll let you know, but even in the event that they begin playing their young guard, Walker would be third on the pecking order after Dejounte Murray and Derrick White as it stands.

Jamal Murray

PG, Denver Nuggets

Jamal Murray (thoracolumbar soreness) has been downgraded to questionable vs. the Knicks on Sunday.

We're not sure what happened during shootaround, but Murray had come into today listed as probable. Maybe they just noticed the opponent, but most likely, the Nuggets want to be cautious with Murray on the second half of a back-to-back. Keep an eye on his status closer to tipoff. If he misses this one, Monte Morris is in line for a huge role and doesn't figure to come off the court in the event of a blowout, which was exactly what happened the last time these two teams met a few weeks back.

Nicolas Batum

SG, Charlotte Hornets

Nicolas Batum (left hand contusion) has been downgraded to out for Sunday's game versus the Pacers.

He was trending in this direction since yesterday, but this leaves the Hornets dangerously short at the SF spot. The Pacers are a big team, so we might see some more lineups with Miles Bridges at the three to counter Indiana's size.

Nassir Little

SF, Portland Trail Blazers

Nassir Little (back spasms) is questionable for Monday's game.

Little didn't play in Portland's last game, though his playing time has been trending down since a short run in the starting five. He's not a fantasy option.

Isaiah Thomas

PG, Washington Wizards

Isaiah Thomas (left calf strain) has a "good chance" of returning on Monday.

Thomas has been out for 10 days, though it remains to be seen if he'll go right back into the starting five upon returning. He's been a much better fit, at least from a fantasy perspective, with the second unit. Ish Smith's value will take a hit.

Moritz Wagner

PF, Washington Wizards

Scott Brooks deemed it unlikely that Moe Wagner (sprained ankle) would be able to play on Monday.

It'll be Wagner's second straight absence, and he's missing a great chance to put up numbers with Thomas Bryant sidelined. Ian Mahinmi will once again be the Wizards' only center on Monday and could get some big minutes against Detroit.

Nicolas Claxton

PF, Brooklyn Nets

Nicolas Claxton (left hamstring soreness) will not play on Sunday.

Claxton has been in and out of the rotation and isn't much of a redraft option at this point, though that can change. He'll need to get healthy first, obviously.

Paul Millsap

PF, Denver Nuggets

Paul Millsap (right quad strain) is being considered questionable on Sunday vs. the Knicks.

Millap missed Saturday night's game vs. the Thunder and he might be in danger of missing this one too. Stay tuned for updates closer to tip-off but if he does miss then expect Jerami Grant to once again start in his place.

Jamal Murray

PG, Denver Nuggets

Jamal Murray (back soreness) is probable on Sunday vs. the Knicks.

Murray played a good game vs. the Thunder on Saturday night and it looks like he'll suit up for more of the same vs. the Knicks. He can be locked into all lineups against a very bad Knicks defense.
