Sunday, November 5th
Hello Grinders. We have a large NBA slate this Sunday. On FantasyDraft, the main slate just has the six games that start at 7pm EST and later, so that’s what we’ll focus on.
I’ll do my best to update the article as news breaks. I’m writing this on very early Sunday morning, so some players still have questionable tags. Let’s do a quick run-down of some news and notes:
1. Michael Kidd-Gilchrist (out) – With MKG out, it’s possible we see Dwayne Bacon start. Sizzle sizzle.
2. Andrew Bogut (questionable)
3. T.J. Warren (questionable) – Warren left Friday’s game after bonking heads with Enes Kanter. The bigger concern here is that Warren has had head issues in the past. If he’s out, Josh Jackson would likely start and it’d be a bump to Devin Booker’s usage, although it’s a tough matchup against the Spurs.
4. Kristaps Porzingis (probable)
5. T.J. Leaf (out)
As you can see, there’s a lot of “what ifs” to deal with given this injury news. I’m going to focus on three core plays based on the news we have so far, and will update it as needed.
