With only five games scheduled on January 28, NBA Fantasy owners have a limited pool of teams to monitor. This article delves into the status of key NBA Fantasy players, considering factors such as back-to-back matchups and short-term injuries. Find out who will be suiting up and how they can impact your NBA Fantasy team on this date.
Bradley Beal – Sit
Despite producing 12 points in the previous game after injuring his nose, the Suns are likely to be cautious with Bradley Beal. Considering his recent performance and the desire to preserve him for the playoffs, sitting Beal in your NBA Fantasy team a day after the injury is a wise choice.
Jalen Suggs – Sit
Jalen Suggs left the last game with a knee injury, playing only four minutes. With a short depth in Magic guards and uncertainty about his readiness, it’s a risk to include him in your lineup. Sitting Suggs would be a prudent decision for your NBA Fantasy team.
Scoot Henderson – Sit
Henderson, once poised as the potential franchise point guard for the Trail Blazers, hasn’t lived up to expectations. Even if activated, he may not provide significant value unless you’re in a deep league. Sitting Henderson won’t significantly impact your NBA Fantasy team.
Anfernee Simons – Start
Coming off a 40-point performance, Simons is on the injured list due to a rib injury. Despite being a game-time decision, considering his recent momentum and potential, starting Simons against Chicago could be beneficial. Missing out on his production if you decide to sit him might lead to regrets.
Forwards
Jerami Grant – Start
Limited to just 10 minutes in the recent game, Jerami Grant is on the Trail Blazers’ injured list due to a back injury. Given the limited options at the forward position, Grant is worth starting, whether he plays or not.
Centers
Jusuf Nurkic – Sit
While Jusuf Nurkic has had a relatively healthy season, being on the injured list due to a back injury raises concerns. Starting Nurkic might be a safer bet, but considering the circumstances, sitting him could be a cautious move for your NBA Fantasy team. The Suns may prioritize his presence against opponents like Paolo Banchero and Goga Bitadze.
