Orlando Magic center Goga Bitadze (illness) remains questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. The big man has been under the weather, and he missed Friday's meeting with the Denver Nuggets. Wendell Carter Jr. (knee) was also unavailable, so Moritz Wagner moved into the starting lineup. He played well, amassing 19 points, 11 rebounds, and two steals. If Bitadze and Carter miss another game, Wagner remains a must-start in all fantasy leagues.

Portland Trail Blazers guard Shaedon Sharpe will see a full workload in Sunday's matchup with the Brooklyn Nets. The 20-year-old is averaging 16.3 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 3.0 assists this season, a significant improvement from the 2022-23 campaign, his rookie season. But he battled a groin injury at the end of December, keeping him off the floor for five games. Although Sharpe has been back in the lineup, he's logged 24 minutes or fewer in each of the last three games. Fortunately, he has been productive despite his limited minutes. At any rate, Sharpe's presence could mean less work for Malcolm Brogdon and Scoot Henderson, especially with Anfernee Simons also no longer operating with a minutes cap as of Sunday.

Portland Trail Blazers guard Anfernee Simons won't face a minutes cap in Sunday's meeting with the Brooklyn Nets. The 24-year-old missed three games because of an illness but returned for the January 3 matchup with the Dallas Mavericks, the first of consecutive games between the teams. However, he was limited to 27 minutes or fewer in each contest. With Damian Lillard now a Milwaukee Buck, Simons has had a career year, averaging 24.5 points, 5.0 assists, and 3.4 rebounds. He's always a must-start fantasy option, although managers will undoubtedly appreciate the latest report. Of course, with Simons no longer restricted, Scoot Henderson should see fewer minutes, lowering his fantasy ceiling.

Phoenix Suns guard Eric Gordon (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game versus the Grizzlies. The veteran has played relatively well during the 2023-24 campaign, averaging 13.6 points and shooting 40.9% from behind the arc. Unfortunately, he missed Friday's win over Miami because of a sore right knee. Nevertheless, there's a chance for Gordon to remain more involved offensively if Kevin Durant sits out his fourth straight game because of a strained hamstring. But if Gordon and Durant aren't available, Devin Booker, Bradley Beal, and Grayson Allen should lead the way on the scoring end.

Phoenix Suns forward Kevin Durant (hamstring) is questionable ahead of Sunday's contest versus the Memphis Grizzlies. The veteran has stayed relatively healthy for most of the season. But he's missed the last three games because of a strained hamstring. That said, he is averaging some of the best numbers of his career this season, logging 29.9 points, 6.3 rebounds, 6.0 assists, and 1.1 blocks while shooting an impressive 47.7% from deep. Of course, not having Durant in the lineup isn't an ideal situation for the Suns. However, until he's back on the floor, Devin Booker and Bradley Beal should continue to get additional scoring opportunities. At the same time, Grayson Allen could continue to see an uptick offensively if KD misses a fourth consecutive game.
