New York Knicks forward Bojan Bogdanovic (wrist) will suit up Tuesday against the Chicago Bulls. He's been dealing with a right wrist sprain. When healthy this season, the sharpshooting 34-year-old averages 15.6 points, 2.8 rebounds, and 1.8 assists in 26.6 minutes across 53 games. Bogdanovic is definitely a player who could be a solid option for hoops DFS this evening in the Windy City.
Brooklyn Nets center Nicolas Claxton (ankle) is probable for Wednesday's game against the Toronto Raptors. Claxton missed Sunday's blowout loss to the visiting Sacramento Kings due to a sprained left ankle, but his absence with the injury is likely to be held to a one-game minimum. The 24-year-old shot-blocking extraordinaire is supplying 9.4 points, 10.4 rebounds, 2.2 assists, and 2.0 blocks in 30.1 minutes per game while shooting a paltry 26.3% from the charity stripe over his past five outings for the Nets, and his return would dump cold water on 2023 first-rounder Noah Clowney's recent surge. Claxton should be able to pull down plenty of boards against Toronto, who are without interior presence Jakob Poeltl (hand) and are giving up the third-most rebounds per game (15.9) to enemy centers this season.
Brooklyn Nets center Nicolas Claxton (ankle) won't play on Sunday against Sacramento. The 24-year-old logged 30 minutes in Saturday's 10-point win over the Pistons. However, he'll now miss Sunday's contest because of a sprained left ankle. Without Claxton on the floor, Day'Ron Sharpe, averaging 12.0 points, 4.0 boards, and 1.0 blocks in his only start this season, is worth rostering in all DFS contests. But with Dorian Finney-Smith (knee) and Cameron Johnson (toe) also sidelined, the door is open for Noah Clowney, Jalen Wilson, and Trendon Watford to receive enough minutes to warrant DFS consideration in large tournament formats.
Brooklyn Nets guard Dennis Schroder (Achilles) will suit up for Sunday's game against the Sacramento Kings. He was listed as questionable heading into this one, and with Brooklyn not going anywhere near the postseason, there was a chance he'd be sidelined. However, Dennis Smith Jr. (hip) is now doubtful, so Schroder is a lock for all fantasy lineups.
Brooklyn Nets forward Dorian Finney-Smith (knee) is ruled out ahead of Sunday's clash with the Sacramento Kings. He logged 24 minutes in Saturday's win over the Detroit Pistons. However, the veteran will sit this one out because of a knee issue. With Cameron Johnson (toe) also sidelined versus the Kings, Noah Clowney, Jalen Wilson, and Trendon Watford should all see more minutes. Yet, Clowney, coming off a 17-point showing, may have the highest potential for DFS managers.
