Houston Rockets forward Jabari Smith Jr. (ankle) won't play on Sunday against the Boston Celtics. The 20-year-old logged 41 minutes in Saturday's overtime win over the Utah Jazz, finishing with 24 points and 10 rebounds. However, Smith tweaked his left ankle during the extra quarter, although he downplayed the severity of the ailment. At any rate, it's possible the Rockets could be without him for at least a few more games. Houston also won't have Fred VanVleet, so Jalen Green, Dillon Brooks, and Alperen Sengun could benefit significantly on the scoring end. In addition, Aaron Holiday and Jae'Sean Tate could see more streaming interest from fantasy managers, considering both men will likely enter the starting lineup versus Boston.

Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young (head) was diagnosed with a concussion and is sidelined indefinitely. The 25-year-old didn't suit up for Friday's one-point win over the Miami Heat because of an illness. However, he returned for Saturday's meeting with the Cleveland Cavaliers, although he exited midway through the fourth quarter after accidentally getting hit in the face by Isaac Okoro. The 2018 No. 5 overall pick is averaging 26.9 points, 10.8 assists, and 1.4 steals this season, so he'll be tough to replace. But until Young is back in the equation, Dejounte Murray, assuming he remains on the roster, should handle most of the ball-handling duties. At the same time, Jalen Johnson and Bogdan Bogdanovic could benefit in all statistical categories, especially on the scoring end.

Boston Celtics forward/center Al Horford won't play on Sunday against the Rockets. The C's will head to Dallas after Sunday's contest, so the veteran will take the night off to rest ahead of Monday's matchup. That said, Horford hasn't been a consistently reliable fantasy option this season. However, his absence could allow Luke Kornet to get more involved. Kornet has averaged 6.4 points, 5.4 rebounds, and 1.2 blocks without Horford in the lineup, so he warrants streaming for those looking to fill the void in their lineup.

Boston Celtics guard Jrue Holiday (elbow) won't play on Sunday against the Houston Rockets. He's been dealing with a sprained elbow for weeks, so fantasy managers could be without him at times until the issue is resolved. Unfortunately, the former Buck has averaged only 13.1 points this season, a significant step down from the 2022-23 campaign. However, Holiday's absence will at least open up minutes for Sam Hauser, who is averaging 7.5 points and 4.3 rebounds in four starts this season, to warrant streaming in deep fantasy leagues.

Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro (shoulder) is probable heading into Sunday's game versus Orlando. His shoulder strain is nothing new, so he should be good to go, barring a setback. The 24-year-old has played well throughout the 2023-24 campaign, averaging a career-high 22.5 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 40.3% shooting from behind the arc. However, Herro's most significant issue is his durability, although fantasy managers have grown used to routine absences over the years. At any rate, fantasy managers need to get him in the lineup, at least once he's officially active.
