Yahoo Sports: Your Ultimate Source for Athletics and Highlights

Dallas had to play Monday's game without Kyrie Irving due to a shoulder injury, and with Luka Doncic out for at least a month with a hip injury, coach Jason Kidd has had to explore other offensive options. Spencer Dinwiddie, who is only rostered in 24% of Yahoo leagues, earned his second consecutive start and is likely to remain a crucial part of the starting lineup going forward. In their recent match against the Kings, Dinwiddie managed to score 30 points and provide six assists. The team has only two more games scheduled for this week, but there is optimism that Irving could return for Wednesday's game in Houston. theless, Dinwiddie's strong performance should secure his spot in the starting rotation, especially given his impressive averages of 20.3 points, 4.3 rebounds, 5.8 assists, 1.8 steals, and 1.5 three-pointers in his four starts this season. While he may not consistently put up 30 points, Dinwiddie is certainly worth considering as a streaming option moving forward.

Yves Missi- 37%

The rookie continues to put up big numbers for New Orleans, and he was able to set a new career-high for blocks on Monday with five. The rookie remains undervalued in 9-cat leagues because he hasn’t contributed value consistently outside of rebounds, blocks and field goal percentage. However, his role is safe, and while he will have some poor performances from time to time (as 20-year-olds do), the numbers look great when he has things clicking. They still have three more games this week.

Scotty Pippen Jr.- 34%

Ja Morant is being considered “week-to-week” with his shoulder injury, which means that Pippen Jr. will be the starting point guard in Memphis for at least a few games. Memphis has three games this week, starting in Phoenix on Tuesday. He has averaged 14.6 points, 4.3 rebounds, 6.2 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.3 threes per game in his 12 starts this season. The schedule isn’t an advantage, as they play three games next week and the week after as well. However, it certainly doesn’t put him at a disadvantage, and he’ll be worth rostering as long as Morant is sidelined.

Ja’Kobe Walter- 1%

RJ Barrett (illness) has been ruled out for Tuesday’s game, and Gradey Dick (hamstring) is on the injury report as questionable. That will open up at least one starting spot on the wing, which may be filled by the rookie. In his most recent start, Walter tallied career-highs of 27 points and six 3-pointers. He doesn’t contribute in many categories, but he can get hot in a hurry from beyond the arc. They’ll play the second night of a back-to-back on Wednesday, which means that Walter could see two starts if Barrett or Dick miss both legs.

Johnny Juzang- less than 1%

Juzang got the starting nod in place of John Collins on Monday, replacing rookie Cody Williams, who started the game before. Juzang played much better as a starter than Williams did and contributed 14 points in 23 minutes. It’s unclear if Collins will miss more time, or if Juzang will continue to start if he does. However, the Jazz have three more games this week, so if the stars align, he could be worth a pickup in deeper leagues.
