Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young (concussion) has been ruled out ahead of Wednesday's game against the Golden State Warriors. Young is set to miss his second game in a row as he remains in the league's concussion protocol. Dejounte Murray figures to remain in the starting five, with Bogdan Bogdanovic starting alongside him. Both players are going to have increased usage and fantasy value while Young is sidelined. It wouldn't be shocking to see Young miss more time, so fantasy managers should adjust their lineups accordingly.


Los Angeles Lakers forward Jarred Vanderbilt (heel) is available ahead of Tuesday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. Vanderbilt will play after being listed as probable due to a left heel issue. That is good news for the Lakers who are going to be without LeBron James (ankle) for this game. Taurean Prince will get the starting nod in his place. However, Vanderbilt could see an extended role off the bench. Fantasy managers can continue to ignore him as Vanderbilt hasn't brought much to the table lately.


Los Angeles Lakers center Anthony Davis (Achilles) has been cleared to play ahead of Tuesday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. As expected, Davis will suit up for this game after being listed as probable heading into this contest. He'll be asked to do more of the heavy lifting with LeBron James (ankle) ruled out. Taurean Prince and Rui Hachimura will see an extended run with James sitting out. Fantasy managers should make sure to have Davis active for Tuesday.


Los Angeles Lakers forward Taurean Prince will move into the starting five ahead of Tuesday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. As expected, Prince will join the starting five with LeBron James (ankle) ruled out for this game. Fantasy managers shouldn't be too worried about James as this is likely more of a rest game than a serious issue. Regardless, Prince will draw the start and have increased fantasy value. He's normally good for about 10 points per game with a handful of rebounds. Fantasy managers should consider Prince a low-end streaming option for Tuesday's slate.


The Minnesota Timberwolves have removed Mike Conley (rest) from their injury report ahead of Wednesday's tilt against the Washington Wizards. Conley rested for the second time this year in Tuesday's shocking home loss to the Charlotte Hornets, but he'll be back in Minnesota's lineup on Wednesday. The former All-Star floor general is bringing in top-75 fantasy numbers in nine-category leagues as a reliable two-way presence at the point for the first-place T-Wolves, but he has scored in single digits during eight of his last 10 outings. Conley hopes Wednesday's soft matchup against a 7-35 Wizards team gets him back on track. Nickeil Alexander-Walker posted a season-high 18 points and drained four triples in 30 minutes during Tuesday's spot start at the one, but expect him to revert to Minny's second unit on Wednesday.
