1/19:Detroit Pistons point guard Ish Smith (groin) will not play against the Kings on Saturday due to right adductor tightness. The 6-footer missed more than a month not that long ago with a groin issue so this is definitely not good news. Luke Kennard, Bruce Brown, Langston Galloway, and Jose Calderon will likely see increased playing with Smith out. Kennard has played well the past three games scoring 46 points and making seven three-pointers.--Daniel Benjamin - RotoBallerSource: Keith Langlois, Twitter

1/19:Orlando Magic power forward Aaron Gordon (back) will not play against the Bucks. The 23-year-old suffered the injury in the fourth quarter of Friday's loss to the Nets and did not return.

1/19:Cleveland Cavaliers center Tristan Thompson (foot) will not play against the Nuggets on Saturday. Thompson also missed Friday's loss to the Jazz with left foot soreness and it is now possible that he will miss more time. With him out of the lineup, Ante Zizic will get the start. Zizic, who has played well the past six games, compiled his first double-double of the season with 15 points and 10 rebounds against the Jazz. The 22-year-old Croatian is a viable streaming and DFS option tonight.--Daniel Benjamin - RotoBallerSource: NBA.com

1/19:Atlanta Hawks center Dewayne Dedmon (ankle) will start against the Celtics on Saturday. Dedmon missed the past two games, but with the Hawks off since Tuesday he had time to have his ankle heal. The 7-footer had been playing well before getting injured, which included turning in his best overall game against the 76ers on Jan. 11 where he tallied 19 points, grabbed eight rebounds and doled out seven assists. He has scored in double-figures in three of his five January appearances and collected at least six rebounds in four of those five games. With his return to the lineup, rookie Omari Spellman will return to the bench and likely see a decrease in playing time. Spellman played well the past two games. Dedmon should be owned in standard fantasy leagues as long as he is healthy.--Daniel Benjamin - RotoBallerSource: Brad Rowland, Twitter

1/19:Atlanta Hawks small forward Taurean Prince will not have a minutes restriction against the Celtics on Saturday. Prince had seen limited minutes the last two games as he was working his way back after missing 18 consecutive games with an ankle injury. The 24-year-old has been effective in these two games tallying seven points in each of the two contests while connecting on six of 10 shots overall as well as both of his three-point attempts. He also has picked up eight rebounds in 24 total minutes. DeAndre' Bembry and rookie Kevin Huerter, both of who will remain in the starting lineup versus Boston, will likely see a decrease in playing with Prince undoubtedly having an increased role. Prince could be a value DFS play tonight if he gets around 25 or more minutes.--Daniel Benjamin - RotoBallerSource: Brad Rowland, Twitter

1/19:Los Angeles Clippers small forward/power forward Tobias Harris has been on fire from three-point range this month. The 26-year-old poured in 28 points on 7-for-18 shooting from the field, 3-for-8 from the three-point line, and 11-for-12 from the charity stripe in Friday's loss to the Warriors.

1/19:Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry will look to continue to ball out of "his mind" when the Dubs visit the Lakers on Monday.

He has now scored 25 or more points, grabbed five or more rebounds and knocked down three triples in 10 of his last 11 outings.

1/19:Golden State Warriors center DeMarcus Cousins made his debut for the team in Friday's victory over the Clippers.

He was 5-for-11 from the floor, 3-for-4 from the three-point line and 1-for-2 from the free throw line. It was a solid outing for the 28-year-old who was playing for the first time since tearing his Achilles on Jan. 26, 2018. Cousins will have to work on his conditioning and staying out of foul trouble. If the ninth-year pro is going to put up those kinds of numbers in limited minutes, he is playable across all fantasy formats.--Daniel Benjamin - RotoBallerSource: NBA.com

1/19:Minnesota Timberwolves point guard Derrick Rose tied Karl-Anthony Towns with a team-high 23 points, but he missed the game-tying three-pointer at the buzzer in Friday's 116-113 loss to the Spurs.

1/19:Orlando Magic center Nikola Vucevic continued his strong 2018-2019 campaign in Friday's loss to the Brooklyn Nets, finishing with 16 points on 7-for-20 shooting and grabbing 17 rebounds while also adding six assists. Orlando faces a tough test on Saturday against the Milwaukee Bucks, who allow the seventh-fewest points and 13th-fewest rebounds per game in the NBA this season.

1/19:Brooklyn Nets point guard Spencer Dinwiddie continued to look like he's broken out of a recent slump in Friday's win over the Orlando Magic, scoring 20 points on 6-for-11 shooting. He added three assists and two rebounds while shooting 3-for-7 from deep. The Nets face the Kings on Monday, who allow the fifth-most points per game in the NBA this season.

1/19:Atlanta Hawks forward John Collins (illness) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Boston Celtics. Collins was dealing with ankle soreness, but is now reportedly fighting bronchitis-type symptoms. Omari Spellman is expected to draw the start if Collins is unable to play. Fantasy owners will have to check back for an update closer to game time.--Andy Webb - RotoBallerSource: Brad Rowland
