Nikole Vucevic (left ankle sprain) will not play in Sunday's preseason game versus the Sixers.

This will be the second straight game Vucevic will miss due to the ankle sprain, but it is still not believed to be serious. Look for Mo Bamba and Khem Birch to step up in his absence.

Fantasy News & NBA Updates

Kyle Lowry
PG, Toronto Raptors

Kyle Lowry managed just 11 points (3-of-6 FGs, 5-of-5 FTs) on Friday, sounding off the bells of Doom as the Celtics came away with the statement win.

Lowry's had back-to-back sub-par games now, scoring just eight points on Wednesday. Still, the Raptors' guard finds a way to contribute in other areas, like the two rebounds, two assists, three steals and one block he netted tonight. Still, it's a low-end line and it's a disappointment, but owners will just have to gut it out until he blows up for a monster line once again.

Rondae Hollis-Jefferson
SF, Toronto Raptors

Rondae Hollis-Jefferson got a bit of extra run on Friday thanks to the blow-out nature of the Raptors' loss to the Celtics and was able to chip-in 11 points on 5-of-6 shooting, plus three rebounds, five dimes and two steals.

As mentioned, RHJ was only able to get some extra burn due to the Celtics' masterful domination of the game. He's not worth adding, so leave him on the wire.

Pascal Siakam
PF, Toronto Raptors

Pascal Siakam was ice-cold on Friday, hitting just 5-of-15 shots from the field for 11 points, adding two rebounds, one 3-pointer and one steal in 28 minutes.

Ouch. Siakam had a team-worst minus-26 in the +/- column and dealt with foul trouble as well in spots. This was a forgettable performance by Spicy P, but what fantasy owners should not forget is that he's a top-30 talent and this poor showing is just another bump in the road to fantasy greatness.

Fred VanVleet
PG, Toronto Raptors

Fred VanVleet was forced to chuck bricks on Friday, going 4-for-14 from the field to end the night with 13 points, four rebounds, four assists, one trey, two steals and one block.

FVV's struggles with his shot can be credited to Boston's well-executed defense, preventing him from repeating his 21-point game from Wednesday night. It was a tough game for all the Raptors tonight, so there's no need to worry. VanVleet should be able to see deliver fantasy-pleasant outing soon enough.

Daniel Theis
PF, Boston Celtics

Daniel Theis outplayed his counterpart, Marc Gasol, in Friday's win over the Raptors, putting up an impressive 11-point, 11-rebound double-double, adding three assists, two 3s and one block to the stat sheet.

Theis is coming off a foul-plagued game vs. Jusuf Nurkic, where he scored nine points and pulled down two rebounds, so it was nice to see him turn the tables and be the one to dominate an opposing center. Theis has been one of best FA pickups in fantasy in 2019-20 due to his across-the-board improvement and steady playing time.
