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.
Philadelphia 76ers guard De'Anthony Melton (back) is on the injury report as questionable ahead of Wednesday's clash with the Hawks. The 25-year-old has missed three games, but he's been back in practice this week, which is a sign that he's trending in the right direction and could be available again on Wednesday. Melton has done well as Tyrese Maxey's backcourt partner this season, recording 12.1 points, 4.0 rebounds, 3.2 assists, and 1.7 steals. He'll have a crucial role in trying to slow down Trae Young on Wednesday if Melton is good to go.
Philadelphia 76ers head coach Nick Nurse said forward Tobias Harris (ankle) and guard De'Anthony Melton (back) practiced on Monday. Robert Covington (illness) and Furkan Korkmaz (illness) were also seen at the session. Harris exited Friday's blowout loss to the New York Knicks early and is nursing soreness in his left ankle after missing Saturday's second half of a back-to-back. The versatile 31-year-old has some extra time to recover with the Sixers off until Wednesday against the Atlanta Hawks. Melton, on the other hand, has missed three straight outings due to lumbar spine soreness, so his presence back on the court is certainly encouraging. Kelly Oubre Jr. has averaged 14.0 points, 4.6 rebounds, 2.1 treys, and 1.2 steals in 14 starts for Philly this year and would likely continue to do so if one or both of Harris and Melton remain off the floor on Wednesday.
