Chicago Bulls forward Torrey Craig is likely to miss the Bulls' New Year's Day matchup with the Wizards due to a right lower leg contusion. Craig matched his career-high with five three-pointers in Monday's win over the Hornets while helping to fill in for Zach LaVine (toe), who is questionable. The 34-year-old veteran has only played 12.6 minutes per game this season and has only scored double-digit points three times. If he's out on Wednesday as expected with LaVine also out, Matas Buzelis, Julian Phillips, Talen Horton-Tucker, and Patrick Williams are all options to pick up more work in a favorable matchup against the Wizards. When LaVine returns, Craig will likely return to a limited role without much fantasy impact.


Boston Celtics guard Jrue Holiday (shoulder) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Raptors. The two-time All-Star is dealing with right shoulder impingement, keeping him off the floor for the C's previous three contests. With Kristaps Porzingis (ankle) also sidelined in the last two games, Sam Hauser, recently amassing nine points, three assists, and one steal on Sunday versus the Pacers, could continue to start. However, Hauser can't be trusted as a streaming option, considering he doesn't usually play more than 20 minutes in most games. Instead, Jayson Tatum, Derrick White, Jaylen Brown, and Payton Pritchard will likely see more scoring opportunities if Holiday and Porzingis remain on the shelf.


Boston Celtics center Kristaps Porzingis (ankle) is questionable for Tuesday's meeting with the Raptors. The 29-year-old tweaked his ankle during the Christmas Day matchup with the 76ers and has missed the last two contests. Al Horford has been starting in his place, most recently amassing five points and five rebounds in Sunday's loss to the Indiana Pacers. Of course, Horford is capable of playing much better, although he's still not the most reliable fantasy option. Luke Kornet may also see more minutes without Porzingis. However, Kornet isn't a consistent fantasy contributor either.


Boston Celtics center Kristaps Porzingis (ankle) won't suit up on Friday versus the Pacers. The veteran tweaked his ankle in the Christmas Day loss to the 76ers. He stayed in the game for a while after it happened, so there's a good chance the team is being overly cautious. In the meantime, Al Horford will likely handle things at the five spot. Luke Kornet should also see more work behind Horford, making him a streaming option in all fantasy formats and a value play for DFS participants.


Boston Celtics guard Jrue Holiday (shoulder) will remain out on Friday against the Pacers. The 34-year-old is battling right shoulder impingement, although it's unknown how severe it is. With Kristaps Porzingis (ankle) also sidelined versus Indiana, Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown, and Derrick White could each receive a few more scoring opportunities. Sam Hauser, averaging 16.5 points and 50.0% shooting from behind the arc in two starts this season, could also be worth streaming in all fantasy formats.
