According to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski, Golden State Warriors guard Chris Paul (hand) will miss four-to-six weeks, with the timeline starting after he undergoes surgery next week. The veteran, averaging 8.9 points, 7.2 assists, and 1.1 steals this season, suffered a fractured left hand in Friday's win over the Detroit Pistons. Fortunately, Draymond Green was recently reinstated by the league after missing 12 games due to suspension, so that will help lessen the blow. Head coach Steve Kerr also indicated Moses Moody would get more minutes and is worth monitoring for those looking for a deep-league extended streaming option.

Chicago Bulls center Nikola Vucevic (groin) is expected to play on Monday against the Hornets. The 33-year-old veteran returned on Friday night versus Charlotte, the first of consecutive meetings between the clubs, after a five-game absence. He came off the bench, operating under a minutes cap and finishing with 11 points, seven rebounds, and three assists. He'll likely spend more time on the floor in his second game back from the layoff, so he's still worth starting in any fantasy setup. Unfortunately, Vucevic's likely increased workload isn't good for Andre Drummond, who has been playing well in the starting lineup.

Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine (foot) is expected to play on Monday against Charlotte. The 28-year-old had been sidelined for over a month because of a foot issue. But he returned on Friday versus the Hornets, the first of a back-to-back between the clubs, and finished with 15 points, five rebounds, and four assists. It still hasn't been reported if LaVine will return to the starting lineup. However, he remains a must-start even if he doesn't, considering there's a good chance he'll play better after shaking off any residual rust on Friday caused by the lengthy layoff.

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (toe) remains out on Monday against the Houston Rockets. Fantasy managers didn't expect Butler to be out this long, although it's anyone's guess when he'll be back in the lineup. At any rate, without him, Bam Adebayo and Tyler Herro will remain the top offensive options versus Houston. But there's plenty of room for guys like Kevin Love, averaging 15.7 points in the last three games, and Duncan Robinson to stay more involved, especially if Caleb Martin (ankle) doesn't return.

Orlando Magic forward Franz Wagner (ankle) is out again for Sunday's game against Atlanta. The 22-year-old tweaked his ankle in Wednesday's double-overtime meeting with the Sacramento Kings and didn't play on Friday versus Denver. Chuma Okeke got the start in his place, finishing with seven rebounds, three points, one steal, and one block. Of course, without Wagner on the floor, Jalen Suggs, Paolo Banchero, and Cole Anthony should remain the primary scoring options, with the trio accounting for 82 of Orlando's 122 team points on Friday.
