Philadelphia 76ers guard De'Anthony Melton (back) has been ruled out for the rest of Tuesday's game against the Boston Celtics. Melton missed nearly a month of action due to a back issue. Now, he's sidelined again after only nine minutes during Tuesday's game. Kyle Lowry is still under a minutes restriction. That means, Cameron Payne should see an increased role off the bench with Melton being unable to finish this contest. Despite the increased role, Payne won't be worth a look in most fantasy formats.
Golden State Warriors guard/forward Moses Moody will take Andrew Wiggins' (personal) position in the starting lineup on Tuesday against Washington. The 21-year-old gets a big opportunity to impress after logging just 10 total minutes across the previous two games. Moody has had four previous starts this season, averaging 14.0 points, 3.8 rebounds, and 2.0 assists in the role. The Warriors will have Chris Paul back in action on Tuesday, while Gary Payton II and Lester Quinones could also get some extra burn with Wiggins out, especially with the game expected to turn into a blowout.
Golden State Warriors forward Andrew Wiggins will miss Tuesday's contest against Washington for personal reasons. He comes out of the lineup after playing in nine consecutive games. Wiggins has averaged 27.9 minutes over the stretch. Most of his minutes look set to go to the returning Chris Paul (hand) on Tuesday, but Gary Payton II and Lester Quinones might also see some extra action.
Philadelphia 76ers guard De'Anthony Melton (back) is available ahead of Friday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Melton has been sidelined since January 12, but will make his return to the court here. The expectation is that Melton is going to be under a minutes restriction during his first game back. He won't be worth looking at as a possible streaming option until he gets back up to full speed.
Golden State Warriors guard Gary Payton II (illness) has been tagged as probable on Friday for their game against the Charlotte Hornets. Payton was listed as questionable for the same illness in their last game against the Los Angeles Lakers and was eventually downgraded, but it seems like he's breaking out of the sickness enough to give it a go on Friday. The 31-year-old is a big part of the Warriors' second-unit defense and he should remain in that role now that he's back. Over the last four games, Payton has averaged 7.0 points, 2.8 rebounds, and 1.8 assists across 14.7 minutes per game. He's not exactly on the fantasy radar right now, but he will take some minutes away from Moses Moody and Brandin Podziemski.
