Fantasy Basketball Week 10 Key Injuries

[ad_1]

The year 2024 will conclude during Week 10, and the games are well-distributed. Each day will have a minimum of six games, with Wednesday (eight games), Friday (nine), and Saturday (nine) being the busiest. And there are a lot of injuries for fantasy managers to consider when putting together their lineups for each day. Let’s look at some key injuries, trades, and suspensions that will impact Week 10 in fantasy basketball.

PG/SG Luka Doncic and SG/SF Naji Marshall, Dallas Mavericks

Doncic and Marshall are listed together because the latter was supposed to help pick up the slack when Dallas lost its star point guard to a strained calf. Unfortunately, Marshall was suspended four games for his role in a fight with Phoenix’s Jusuf Nurkic (PJ Washington was suspended one game). As a result, Marshall will not be available for any of Dallas’ games during Week 10, with Washington eligible for Monday’s game against Sacramento. With Doncic out for at least one month, fantasy managers can hold onto suitable streaming options.

Spencer Dinwiddie (19%, Yahoo) and Quentin Grimes (19%) will have added value, while standard league managers will hope that Doncic’s absence results in more opportunities for Washington (78%) and Klay Thompson (77%). Marshall (5%), who had a run of four straight games of 20 points or more in late November with Doncic out of the lineup, will be back on the streaming radar for Week 11, but he can’t help any fantasy managers right now.

PF/C Kristaps Porzingis and PG/SG Jrue Holiday, Boston Celtics

Porzingis suffered a sprained ankle during Boston’s Christmas Day loss to the 76ers and has missed the last two games. Also of note is the status of Holiday, who has missed the previous three games with a shoulder injury. Al Horford (36%) starts whenever one of Boston’s starters isn’t available, and Sam Hauser (3%) joined him in the lineup for both of the Celtics’ games against the Pacers.

Before seeking out Hauser or Horford, fantasy managers must ensure Payton Pritchard (54%) is not sitting on their waiver wire. He should be the primary target with Porzingis and Holiday out, and Pritchard will have value even…
