Minnesota Timberwolves forward Kyle Anderson (shoulder) has been added to the injury report as questionable ahead of Sunday's battle against the Lakers. He's landed on the injury list with right shoulder pain. Anderson has started the last two games for Minnesota following Karl-Anthony Towns' (knee) exit from the lineup. He struggled in his first opportunity but did well in the second game, posting 10 points, three rebounds, five assists, and one steal. Naz Reid has already stepped into a bigger role without Towns and would benefit further from Anderson's absence, especially with Rudy Gobert (hamstring) also in danger of missing Sunday's game. The frontcourt injuries also boost Jaden McDaniels' fantasy stock. He's just had his second 40-minute outing of the month.


Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert (hamstring) is uncertain to play in Sunday's matchup with the Lakers. The multi-time NBA Defensive Player of the Year popped up on the injury report late on Sunday, and with Minnesota currently in the middle of a six-game road trip, head coach Chris Finch may play it safe by holding him out. With Kyle Anderson (shoulder) also carrying a questionable tag heading into the meeting with Los Angeles, Naz Reid and Luka Garza could see more work. However, the former's fantasy upside is much higher. At the same time, T.J. Warren, coming off a six-point, four-rebound performance on Friday against Cleveland, could surprise people if Gobert and Anderson don't suit up.


Atlanta Hawks guard Dejounte Murray (calf) will play on Sunday against the Pelicans. The former Spur had 41 points, seven rebounds, six assists, and two steals on Friday night in the narrow win over the Memphis Grizzlies. But he was a late addition to the injury report because of a calf contusion, although fantasy managers have nothing to worry about. As always, Murray should be featured in all fantasy lineups.



Orlando Magic guards Jalen Suggs (thigh) and Markelle Fultz (knee) have been ruled out for Sunday's matchup against Indiana. Suggs misses a second consecutive game with a right thigh contusion, while Fultz drops out of the lineup with a left knee strain. Both players were initially regarded as questionable for the contest. The backcourt absentees should provide a big boost to Cole Anthony in a very attractive matchup against an up-tempo team that doesn't defend well. Anthony Black and Gary Harris also have a chance to play larger roles, but they tend to be quite unproductive with their minutes on the court.


Sacramento Kings guard Davion Mitchell (chest) has been upgraded from questionable to available for Sunday's clash with Houston. He was initially iffy for the game with right chest soreness. Mitchell's role has fluctuated throughout the campaign, and he doesn't carry a lot of fantasy value if De'Aaron Fox is in the lineup. The 25-year-old has averaged 4.4 points, 1.0 rebounds, and 1.7 assists in 13.5 minutes over the course of the season.
