NBA Player News

The Kings list Stevens out for Sunday's game against the Nets due to right ankle soreness.

The two-way player hasn't made an appearance for Sacramento since the All-Star break, so he presumably sustained the injury during his most recent game in the G League with the Stockton Kings on Saturday. Over his three appearances at the NBA level on the season, Stevens is averaging 3.3 points, 3.3 assists, 1.7 steals and 1.0 rebounds in 14.3 minutes.

Prince contributed eight points (3-8 FG, 2-6 3Pt), two rebounds and one assist over 22 minutes during Saturday's 108-105 victory over the Suns.

Prince was given the starting nod for just the second time this season, highlighting just how desperate things are in Milwaukee at the moment. Having played seven games since returning from injury, Prince has offered very little on paper. In 18.3 minutes per game during that time, he has averaged just 6.1 points and 1.6 three-pointers.

Sims totaled five points (1-1 FG, 3-4 FT), 11 rebounds and three assists over 25 minutes during Saturday's 108-105 victory over the Suns.

Sims dominated the glass, hauling in a game-high 11 rebounds off the bench. Milwaukee is dealing with injuries to multiple players, meaning Sims has been thrust into a meaningful role, albeit typically off the bench. With that said, his offensive upside is basically non-existent, meaning he should be considered a rebounds streamer only.

Rollins supplied 26 points (10-19 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 3-6 FT), 10 rebounds, seven assists and three steals across 33 minutes during Saturday's 108-105 victory over the Suns.

Rollins was easily the best player on the floor, recording his sixth double-double of the season. With Milwaukee down on troops yet again, Rollins did as he has done all season, turning in an elite two-way performance. Despite some curious coaching decisions which have seen him moved to the bench at times, Rollins continues to put his hand up for the Most-Improved Player award. In 68 appearances, he has averaged 16.9 points, 4.6 rebounds, 5.6 assists, 1.5 steals and 2.5 three-pointers in 32.3 minutes per game.

Livers ended with zero points (0-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt), one rebound and one steal across 10 minutes during Saturday's 108-105 loss to Milwaukee.

Livers moved back into the rotation, suiting up for just the third time in the past 13 games. Despite injuries to other players, Livers has been mostly a non-factor, averaging just 0.3 points and 0.8 rebounds in six appearances over the past month.

Dunn recorded 12 points (5-9 FG, 2-5 3Pt), eight rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal in 23 minutes during Saturday's 108-105 loss to the Bucks.

Dunn had his best night in quite some time, recording double-digit scoring for the first time in his past 10 games, while also adding a pair of defensive stats. While this was certainly an encouraging performance, his recent lack of production cannot be overlooked. In 14 games over the past month, he has been barely a top-300 player, averaging 5.0 points and 4.5 rebounds in 19.3 minutes per outing.

Chandler registered 19 points (5-13 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 7-7 FT), five rebounds, four assists and one steal across 37 minutes during Saturday's 126-116 loss to the 76ers.

Chandler stepped on an NBA court for the first time since the 2022-23 season, when he appeared in 36 games as a member of the Grizzlies, and he certainly left a good impression in this contest. He signed a 10-day deal with the Jazz on Friday, and if he performs like this over the course of the contract, he could find a way to stay with the Jazz until the end of the 2025-26 season at least.

Bailey ended Saturday's 126-116 loss to Philadelphia with 25 points (7-20 FG, 4-14 3Pt, 7-8 FT), seven rebounds, four assists and five blocks over 33 minutes.

Bailey was coming off posting a career-high 33 points in the win over the Bucks on Thursday, and while he fell short of reaching that mark in this loss, it was the first time in his career that he recorded at least 25 points in back-to-back contests. Bailey endured a slow start to his NBA career but has progressed steadily as the season has advanced. All signs point to him ending the season -- and therefore, the fantasy playoffs -- on a strong note as the Jazz's primary go-to option on offense. Bailey has scored at least 20 points six times since the All-Star break (13 games), compared to only seven during the rest of the season (49 contests).

Harkless registered 15 points (6-13 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, five assists, one block and five steals across 36 minutes during Saturday's 126-116 loss to the 76ers.

Harkless couldn't repeat the 23-point output he delivered in the win over the Bucks on Thursday. Instead, this time he delivered a solid scoring output while filling out the stat sheet admirably. Harkless has been moving in and out of the starting lineup, and the lack of consistency in his role limits his fantasy upside considerably. He can be productive when given enough minutes, however, so he's a player worth targeting perhaps as a streaming option in some formats.

Watford closed with 20 points (7-11 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 6-6 FT), nine rebounds and four assists over 24 minutes during Saturday's 126-116 win over the Jazz.

Watford made the most of his 24 minutes off the bench in this win, hitting the 20-point threshold with an efficient effort and also ending just one rebound shy of a double-double. Watford has reached the 20-point mark just twice this season, and his recent performances haven't exactly been eye-popping, so he's not expected to carry much fantasy upside going forward, especially once the 76ers start to get healthier. Right now they're playing without Tyrese Maxey (finger), Joel Embiid (oblique) and Paul George (suspension).
