Wizards' Justin Champagnie: Iffy for Sunday
Champagnie (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Nets.
Champagnie posted 12 points (4-9 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists and one steal in 21 minutes off the bench during Saturday's 152-136 loss to the Heat, but he's in danger of sitting out the second half of Washington's back-to-back set. If he's sidelined, Jamir Watkins, Leaky Black and Julian Reese would be candidates for increased roles.

Wizards' Alex Sarr: Will remain out Sunday
Sarr (toe) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Nets.
Sarr will miss a fifth straight game, including both halves of Washington's weekend back-to-back set. In his absence, Tristan Vukcevic (knee) is a candidate for increased playing time, but if he's also sidelined, Anthony Gill and Julian Reese would likely be thrust into expanded roles.

Bulls' Matas Buzelis: Dealing with illness
Buzelis (illness) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Suns.
After not being listed on the Bulls' initial injury report, Buzelis has been downgraded to questionable after presumably waking up under the weather. If he's sidelined, Isaac Okoro, Patrick Williams and Leonard Miller would all be candidates for increased roles.

Charles Bassey C | GS
Warriors' Charles Bassey: Joining Golden State
Bassey agreed to a contract with the Warriors on Sunday, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.
After his second 10-day deal with the Celtics expired Saturday, Bassey was viewed as a candidate to rejoin Boston on a rest-of-season deal, but he'll instead move on to his fourth organization of the season in Golden State. Across stops with the Grizzlies, 76ers and Celtics on five total 10-day pacts, Bassey has appeared in eight games and has averaged 2.9 points and 2.6 rebounds in 6.6 minutes per contest. He'll provide the Warriors with some much-needed depth in the frontcourt while the club is without Al Horford (soleus) and Quinten Post (foot).

Caleb Houstan SF | POR
Caleb Houstan: Cut by Atlanta
The Hawks waived Houstan on Saturday.
Atlanta was in needed of added depth at center while Jock Landale (ankle) is sidelined, so Houstan ended up being dropped from the roster to make room for veteran big man Tony Bradley, who is set to sign with the Hawks for the remainder of the season. After opening the season as a two-way player for Atlanta, Houstan had been upgraded to a standard contract in February. The fourth-year wing appeared in 18 games for the Hawks, averaging 2.3 points in 4.2 minutes per contest.

Andre Drummond C | NY
76ers' Andre Drummond: Struggles in spot start
Drummond closed with four points (2-5 FG, 0-2 3Pt), three rebounds, two assists and one steal in 18 minutes during Saturday's 116-93 loss to the Pistons.
Drummond was elevated into the starting lineup, although he offered very little in terms of tangible production. At this point, Drummond's role is completely reliant on whether Joel Embiid (illness) is healthy. As we saw Saturday, even when Embiid is sidelined, Drummond's production is too inconsistent to warrant sustained attention. At best, he can be streamed in for rebounds, on occasion.

Justin Edwards SF | PHI
76ers' Justin Edwards: Goes scoreless in loss
Edwards had zero points (0-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and one steal in 10 minutes during Saturday's 116-93 loss to Detroit.
Although Edwards was back in the rotation, he failed to score for the second time in his past two appearances. After a brief run of relevance, Edwards has shifted back to a depth role, with Philadelphia now largely healthy. Assuming the key players can stay on the floor, Edwards is unlikely to play a major role down the stretch.

Daniss Jenkins PG | DET
Pistons' Daniss Jenkins: Drops 14 dimes in win
Jenkins closed Saturday's 116-93 victory over Philadelphia with 16 points (4-11 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 6-7 FT), four rebounds, 14 assists, one block and one steal in 31 minutes.
Jenkins continues to impress, recording his third double-double of the season. With Cade Cunningham (chest) still sidelined, Jenkins has certainly made the most of his opportunity. In eight appearances over the past two weeks, he has averaged 19.9 points, 4.4 rebounds, 8.0 assists and 2.3 three-pointers.

Ron Holland PF | DET
Pistons' Ronald Holland: Drops 11 points in blowout
Holland chipped in 11 points (4-10 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds, one block and one steal across 20 minutes during Saturday's 116-93 win over Philadelphia.
Holland saw some additional playing time, closing the game while the starters got some well-deserved rest. Although he has been a regular piece for the Pistons, Holland's role is typically limited to no more than about 20 minutes. As a player who has been well outside the top 250 this season, fantasy managers needn't consider him outside of very deep leagues.
