Philadelphia 76ers head coach Nick Nurse says guard De'Anthony Melton (back) will be out at least one week. Nurse said he and the staff noticed "something a bit off" with Melton due to his lumbar spine stress response and they want to fix something for the long term. Melton missed three contests with the injury between Jan. 2 and Jan. 8 before returning for two matchups, but the Sixers want to get this issue completely resolved. The 25-year-old glue guy and shutdown defender is submitting top-75 value in nine-category fantasy leagues this season, putting up 11.8 points, 4.0 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 2.1 three-pointers, and 1.6 steals per game, and he should be stashed in those settings. Kelly Oubre Jr. started and swiped four steals in Monday's Martin Luther King Jr. Day victory over the Houston Rockets, and he should be rostered in most settings for the time being.

Philadelphia 76ers guard De'Anthony Melton (back) has already been ruled out for the team's game against the Houston Rockets on Monday despite playing the last two games on a minutes restriction. Unfortunately, the defensive-minded combo guard is dealing with a lumbar spine stress response. Back injuries usually are one of the trickier ailments to deal with, so Melton may end up missing more time. There hasn't been any word on whether or not this is the only game he'll need to miss, so updates will be needed as the week goes on. While he's sidelined, Kelly Oubre Jr. could join the starting five while Patrick Beverley will see some added opportunities as well.

Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry won't play on Saturday night versus the Milwaukee Bucks. The veteran sharpshooter logged 35 minutes in Friday's win over the Chicago Bulls, finishing with 27 points and nine assists. However, he won't be available on Saturday to rest. With Chris Paul (hand) and Moses Moody (calf) also out, Brandin Podziemski will presumably handle most of the work at the one spot. With Podziemski's anticipated bump in usage, he will be a must-start in all fantasy formats. Additionally, Andrew Wiggins, Dario Saric, and Jonathan Kuminga could crush their DFS values without Curry on the floor.

Golden State Warriors forward Andrew Wiggins will move to the bench heading into Wednesday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. This comes after Wiggins has posted back-to-back terrible outings. Head coach Steve Kerr is trying to shake up his lineup and is hopeful that a move to the bench will help Wiggins shake off the rust. Brandin Podziemski will start in place of Wiggins during Wednesday's game. He's normally good for at least double digit scoring, so he could be a low-end streaming option for Wednesday's game.

Golden State Warriors center Kevon Looney will shift into the starting five ahead of Wednesday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. Head coach Steve Kerr has decided to shake up his lineup and start Looney after his decent outing during their last game. It's uncertain if this is a matchup move or if Looney will remain with the starting unit. He'll replace Trayce Jackson-Davis who heads to the bench, but still remains a better streaming choice than Looney.
