What you need to know for Wednesday's games
The Grizzlies, Pistons and Raptors were all in action without some of their stars on Tuesday, as Ja Morant, Cade Cunningham and Jakob Poeltl are all dealing with fairly serious injuries. Marcus Smart scored 23 points and Vince Williams Jr. added 6 points, 6 rebounds, 6 assists and 3 steals in the starting lineup for Memphis. Jaren Jackson Jr. (knee) was also out, allowing Xavier Tillman to get loose for 14 points, 11 rebounds and 2 blocks, while Luke Kennard scored 14 with three triples in a starting role. All of these players are worth keeping an eye on, while I think Williams is still the best pickup off waivers. If Jackson and Santi Aldama are out again on Wednesday, Tillman is also worth a streaming look.
Jaden Ivey started for the Pistons; he had 22 points and a full stat line in 33 minutes and looks like the winner in Detroit. Oddly, red-hot Alec Burks played just 20 minutes despite the absence of Cunningham. Ivey is worth grabbing everywhere until we see how this shakes out. And in Toronto, forward Thaddeus Young -- not big man Chris Boucher -- ended up being the replacement player for Poeltl and played well.
Wednesday features a 10-game slate highlighted by Pelicans at Warriors on ABC at 8:30 p.m. and Nuggets at Jazz on ESPN at 10 p.m. Additionally, the No. 1 team in the East, the Celtics (28-8), host the No. 1 team in the West, the Timberwolves (26-10), in what could be a telling battle that will help us all determine just how good the Timberwolves really are. The other game of note features the Thunder visiting Miami in another intriguing battle of West vs. East.
Wednesday's Stream Team
This segment nominates three key streaming options ahead of that day's action. A streamer, by our standards, is a player available in at least half of ESPN men's basketball leagues.
T.J. McConnell, PG, Pacers (28.4% rostered in ESPN leagues): While the Pacers got great news that Tyrese Haliburton's hamstring injury doesn't appear to be season-ending, he's going to miss three or four weeks. McConnell is going to be the man running the point in his absence and warrants a pickup in most leagues. McConnell played 25 minutes off the bench on Monday after Haliburton's exit and came through with 12 points on 6-of-12 shooting, 4 rebounds, 7 assists and 2 steals and should start tonight. Bennedict Mathurin (21.9% rostered) had 26 points and five triples in that one, and is another guy who will help fill the void left by Haliburton's absence. Mathurin has scored at least 20 points in four of his past six games.
Jaden Ivey, PG/SG, Pistons (37.9%): Ivey was in the starting lineup on Tuesday and hit 7-of-17 shots and two triples for 22 points, 5 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 steals in a team-high 33 minutes. Maybe the absence of Cunningham will finally force Monty Williams to turn Ivey loose on the league. Starter Killian Hayes hit just 1 of 4 shots with six turnovers in 31 minutes in that game, and Alec Burks played just 20 minutes off the bench, so things seem to be pointing in the favor of Ivey right now.
Nick Richards, C, Hornets (6.9%): Mark Williams (back) has already been ruled out for the week, and Richards should continue to start at center until further notice. He had 10 points, 8 rebounds and 3 blocks on 5-of-6 shooting in 39 minutes on Monday and has been filling in admirably for Williams. Richards was quiet in his previous two games but has still averaged 9.0 points, 9.5 rebounds, 0.5 steals and 1.5 blocks in his four January games.
Paul Reed, PF, Sixers (0.7%): Joel Embiid (knee) has been ruled out against the Hawks, so Reed will once again fill in for the injured big man. Embiid has missed six of his past eight games, and Reed has been hit-or-miss in his absence. He did have 16 points and six rebounds against the Jazz on Saturday, but he has blocked just one shot in his past five appearances. He's a better shot blocker than that rate suggests, and it wouldn't be surprising to see him have a good game against Atlanta tonight.
Thaddeus Young, PF, Raptors (0.4%): The Raptors elected to go small against the Lakers on Tuesday by starting Young at power forward and moving Pascal Siakam to center. Somewhat shockingly, Young played 29 minutes and hit 5 of 9 shots for 10 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists, 3 steals and a block, and he could be in line for another big effort against the Clippers. Chris Boucher played just 14 minutes off the bench for 2 points, 7 rebounds and 2 steals, and I still think that he'll eventually be the guy filling in for Poeltl. But, as of Monday night, Young was the preferred fill-in for the Raptors.
