San Antonio Spurs

San Antonio Spurs big man Zach Collins (ankle) is on the injury report with a questionable tag heading into Friday's game against the Hornets. The 26-year-old's sprained ankle has kept him sidelined since December 29th, but he is expected to return to action on Friday. With Victor Wembanyama (rest) out, Collins is likely to get the start and could see a pretty big role in his return. He's averaged just under 25 minutes a game without Wembanyama this year, and he should see similar minutes in a good matchup against Charlotte.

Golden State Warriors guard Chris Paul (hand) underwent surgery on his left hand on Monday, and he will be re-evaluated in three weeks. ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski reported on Sunday that Paul is likely to miss four-to-six weeks, so fantasy managers can expect him to be shut down for at least the next three until another update presents itself. Injured during Friday's win over the Detroit Pistons, CP3 holds a career-low 8.9 points and 7.2 assists with 1.3 triples and 1.1 steals in 27.6 minutes per game covering 32 contests (11 starts) but should be stashed in the majority of leagues, considering dimes are difficult to find on waiver wires. Despite his recent struggles, rookie first-rounder Brandin Podziemski should be rostered at least until Draymond Green (suspension) returns to game action.

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.

Golden State Warriors guard Chris Paul (hand) was injured in Friday's win over Detroit and was ruled out after logging 24 minutes and finishing with eight points, six boards, and one block. Unfortunately, the team revealed that the 12-time All-Star suffered a fractured left hand and will undergo surgery next week. This isn't an ideal situation for Golden State, considering the team has also been without Draymond Green (suspension). At any rate, Paul has had his share of struggles in his first season with the Warriors, averaging a career-low 9.0 points. But his absence will at least open up minutes for others, with head coach Steve Kerr indicating Moses Moody would see more time at the one, meaning he's worth monitoring in all fantasy setups moving ahead. Regarding Paul, he can be dumped in re-draft formats, especially since it may be a while before he's back on the court.

San Antonio Spurs guard Tre Jones is set to make his first start of the season for Thursday's tilt against the Milwaukee Bucks. Malaki Branham (ankle) is doubtful to play, slating Jones to rejoin San Antonio's starting backcourt alongside Devin Vassell after spending 65 games in head coach Gregg Popovich's first unit last year. The 23-year-old offense initiator lost his grip on the starting job at the point to Jeremy Sochan in the preseason, providing 8.0 points, 4.9 assists, and 0.8 steals per game as a strict reserve this season. Jones should experience an uptick in playing time against the Bucks, however, with Thursday's contest being the more attractive of the two games on the slate in terms of implied point total (248.5).
