Hawks-Cavaliers officially postponed Sunday. After Trae, Jarrett Allen and a few other Cavs hit the COVID list, the league has postponed Sunday’s game.
As reported by: Adrian Wojnarowski via Twitter Other tagged players: Trae Young Shake Milton (protocols) and Andre Drummond (protocols ruled out Sunday
Shake Milton (protocols) and Andre Drummond (protocols ruled out Sunday. The Sixers/Pelicans game appears to be in some danger of not happening with the Sixers now being hit harder by COVID. With Milton on the shelf, Tyrese Maxey would slide right back into his normal role if active, and could potentially play a little more in a competitive game. Milton’s absence creates a hole in terms of distributing with the second unit, so we could see heavier run from the starters in general if this stays tight late. Charles Bassey figures to eat up what Andre Drummond leaves behind.
As reported by: Shams Charania via Twitter Other tagged players: Andre Drummond Jrue Holiday not going through pregame warmups Saturday
It certainly appears that Jrue Holiday, Grayson Allen and Pat Connaughton are going to sit after an overtime game last night, which is leading to a watered down starting lineup. We’ll continue to pass along confirmation on their status’. If this holds, Nwora is an excellent target in all formats and Javonte Smart is also a much stronger option than before.
Lineup Update: Bucks will start Smart, Hill, Nwora, Mamukelashvili, Cousins on Saturday

Thanasis Antetokounmpo (calf) and Semi Ojeleye (calf) listed available to play Saturday. They’ll both come off the bench, but the presence of them does make Sandro Mamukelashvii and DeMarcus Cousins a little more risky than before. Neither Thanasis or Semi Ojeleye are viable DFS targets on Saturday.
Other tagged players: Semi Ojeleye Lineup Update: Cavs will start Garland, Stevens, Wade, Markkanen, Allen on Saturday
Lineup Update: Cavs will start Garland, Stevens, Wade, Markkanen, Allen on Saturday. Lamar Stevens will draw a start while Ricky Rubio will continue to come off the bench. Rubio should still see his typical starter-esque minutes, so while Stevens’ upside rises here, he’s still not likely to play a whole lot and isn’t a strong per-minute producer with this group.
Other tagged players: Ricky Rubio Rodney Hood (Achilles) ruled out Saturday
Rodney Hood (Achilles) ruled out Saturday. He was doubtful coming in and was never in our projections, so this doesn’t change our Milwaukee outlook.
As reported by: Austin Carr Status Update: Semi Ojeleye, Thanasis Antetokounmpo are now considered game-time decisions Saturday
Status Update: Semi Ojeleye, Thanasis Antetokounmpo are now considered game-time decisions Saturday. The Bucks are playing on the back end of a B2B and didn’t have either player on Friday, so some things would figure to change on the wing and in the frontcourt if one or both can go. We’ll continue to update their status’.
Other tagged players: Thanasis Antetokounmpo Corey Kispert (quad) available to play Saturday
Corey Kispert (quad) available to play Saturday. No real impact here beyond Davis Bertans and/or Aaron Holiday being negatively impacted. This doesn’t impact any of the DFS-viable options on the Wizards.
Lineup Update: Knicks will start Walker, Burks, Fournier, Randle, Noel on Saturday
Lineup Update: Knicks will start Walker, Burks, Fournier, Randle, Noel on Saturday. With Derrick Rose out, Kemba now becomes a strong DFS option given his price and opportunity on a shorthanded team. Burks, Fournier and Randle are also strong targets given the lack of depth.
Paul George (elbow) ruled out Saturday; Nicolas Batum (ankle) will play off bench on minutes limit; Justise Winslow will start
Paul George (elbow) ruled out Saturday; Nicolas Batum (ankle) will play off bench on minutes limit; Justise Winslow will start. With PG out, Reggie Jackson, Luke Kennard, Terance Mann and Ivica Zubac all become a little more interesting for a variety of reasons, and they are the most attractive DFS options on this side. Winslow still isn’t likely to see starters minutes, but he’s at least on the DFS radar. Batum will play off the bench, making him a tougher sell for fantasy purposes.
Other tagged players: Nicolas Batum, Justise Winslow Status Note: Darius Bazley will play off bench Saturday
This doesn’t change a whole lot from a DFS perspective – Bazley becomes unplayable, but Wiggins/JRE still remain relatively unattractive options.
Other tagged players: Aaron Wiggins Lineup Update: Thunder will start Gilgeous-Alexander, Dort, Giddey, Wiggins, Robinson-Earl on Saturday
The big takeaways here are that Darius Bazley will come off the bench along with Derrick Favors, while Aaron Wiggins and JRE work their way into the starting lineup. This doesn’t change a whole lot from a DFS perspective – Bazley becomes unplayable, but Wiggins/JRE still remain relatively unattractive options.
