Yesterday's thread truly helped people piece together bargains. I love what you guys are doing!

I didn’t want to give out too much as it appears it did well. Helps avoid some bad chalk

Kawhi Leonard (rest) will not suit up for Wednesday's game against the Jazz, but will play on Thursday vs. the Spurs.
It only took four games for Leonard to get hit with a load management day, and it's looking like back-to-back sets will be an issue for him this season. It's telling that Doc Rivers is willing to give him a day off against a team like the Jazz, and it's easy to see this becoming more of a thing once Paul George (shoulders) gets back. Moe Harkless could be getting the start in his place tonight, and he'd make for an intriguing streamer if that's the case.

Trae Young will not require an MRI on his sprained right ankle and is being listed as day-to-day.
Young appeared to be in a good amount of pain after being forced out of Tuesday's game, but Chris Haynes is reporting that the swelling was so minor that if this were a playoff scenario, Young would be cleared by Thursday. Adrian Wojnarowski reports that Young could be back as soon as next week, and Young's father said Trae is "fine" and is not expected to miss an extended period of time. Young will skip Thursday's game against the Heat, but it seems there's a real chance he'll be able to get back out there for either Tuesday's game against the Spurs or Wednesday's matchup with the Bulls.

Reggie Jackson (back) is not traveling with the Pistons for their two-game road trip.
Jackson has already been ruled out for Wednesday's game, and with him not traveling, it seems unlikely he'll rejoin the club in time for Friday's game in Chicago. Tim Frazier and Derrick Rose will continue to split the PG minutes while Jackson is out, and Luke Kennard should remain in the starting lineup.

Wendell Carter Jr. (eyes) is questionable to play on Wednesday against the Cavs.
Carter Jr. woke up with an eye infection on Wednesday morning, and according to head coach Jim Boylen, his left eye is "really swollen" and his right eye is "somewhat swollen." He's likely going to be a game-time call tonight, but if WCJ is unable to give it a go, Luke Kornet could get the start and Daniel Gafford would have the opportunity to get into the rotation.

Jeremy Lamb (hip) will be back in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Nets.
Lamb didn't play all that well in the Pacers' season opener, finishing with just 10 points on 4-of-11 shooting to go with four rebounds, three dimes, one steal, two turnovers and zero triples across 26 minutes, and then he sat out the next two games with a hip injury. Hopefully, he'll be better tonight, and it'll be interesting to see how his return impacts the other starters.

Daniel Theis (left ankle) will be available to play on Wednesday against the Bucks.
Theis sat out Saturday's game with a relatively minor ankle issue, but it looks like he'll be back out there tonight and should see minutes in the teens with Enes Kanter (knee) unavailable. Theis being available somewhat limits Robert Williams' upside, although the Time Lord only needs about 20 minutes of floor time to make an impact.

Dennis Smith Jr. (personal) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game in Orlando and Friday's game in Boston, and it's possible that Frank Ntilikina will get the start at point guard tonight.
Smith Jr. is still away from the team following the death of his stepmother, and Elfrid Payton is out with a hamstring injury, leaving Frank Ntilikina as the only true point guard on the active roster. However, David Fizdale did go with a point guard-less lineup in New York's opener, featuring RJ Barrett as the defacto PG in a Allonzo Trier-Barrett backcourt, so that could be another option. Even if Ntilikina starts, he won't be all that attractive in fantasy hoops.

Zach Collins (left shoulder) will not play on Wednesday against the Thunder, as expected.
The Trail Blazers still haven't revealed the results of Collins MRI, but he's dealing with a dislocated shoulder, so his timetable will be measured in weeks, not days. We may not get an official timetable until he returns to Portland, but in the meantime, it'll be Mario Hezonja, Skal Labissiere and Anthony Tolliver picking up the slack in his absence.

Steven Adams (left knee contusion) is questionable to play on Wednesday against Portland.
Adams bruised his knee during Monday's game and was unable to play through it, so there's certainly a chance he could be taking Wednesday night off in order to give him a full four days of rest ahead of Saturday's game with the Pelicans. That said, Adams tends to play if he's capable of walking, so we'll have a better idea on his status following shootaround. Stay tuned.

BOAT LOAD OF NEWS TODAY!

Love this show in the am. I’m a GPP one lineup guy but listen everyday! I’ve hit one $6500 last NBA season before here’s to the big one soon with your shows help!

Tons of stuff to consider tonight such as:

Tatum gets the biggest boost with Brown out for tonight off the court for Boston, but Marcus Smart will also be very popular tonight.

Wayne Ellington it seems is in tournament disussion as he gets the start playing next to Barrett as the Knicks 3 point specialist. Maybe a stack..

Getting some ownership numbers here on fantasy draft: For Cash Shae at 35%, I would consider fading Tatum and getting someone like Gallinari or Barret in that spot instead. I'll let you'all choose.
