Houston Rockets guards Dennis Schroder (Achilles) and Kevin Porter Jr. (illness) are listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Phoenix Suns. The Rockets are in danger of being extremely shorthanded with Christian Wood (illness) also questionable for this game. Jalen Green would likely see all the minutes and opportunities he can handle, assuming Schroder and Porter sit out. Also, Josh Christopher and Garrison Matthews could be possible low-end streaming options. Daishen Nix might even have a role in the rotation if the Rockets are that shorthanded on Wednesday. Although, Green is the best bet for streaming purposes and DFS contests.

Boston Celtics point guard Dennis Schroder and centers Enes Freedom and Bruno Fernando have reportedly been dealt to the Houston Rockets just prior to the trade deadline on Thursday, with the Celtics acquiring center Daniel Theis in exchange. Schroder delivered a solid 49-game stint with Boston, but he became expendable after the team acquired Derrick White from San Antonio. By joining the Rockets, Schroder -- who is set to become an unrestricted free agent again at season's end -- should have sizable offensive upside, but he is likely to be less of a priority than the development of Kevin Porter Jr. and Jalen Green. Freedom and Fernando both face difficult paths to playing time with ... [More]

Boston Celtics point guard Dennis Schroder has been elevated to the starting five for Wednesday's game against the Pacers with point/shooting guard Marcus Smart (thigh) out of the mix. Schroder has held a constantly fluctuating role during his first season in Boston, but he will have significant DFS upside among the starting group Wednesday. Entering the night averaging 15.9 points, 4.6 assists, and 3.4 boards per game, Schroder maintains sizable season-long appeal in all formats as the usual top scoring option on the team's second unit. Smart's next chance to get back into action comes Friday vs. Philadelphia.

Boston Celtics point guard Dennis Schroder will return to action from the league's COVID-19 health and safety protocols on Sunday against Orlando, but center Robert Williams III (toe) will miss the matchup. Romeo Langford (illness) is also out for the game, while Jayson Tatum remains sidelined as well. Schroder is having a very good season and should get plenty of run right away. With Langford and Tatum missing, there's also an opportunity for Payton Pritchard and Josh Richardson to make a big impact offensively. Fantasy managers shouldn't forget about Grant Williams either.

Boston Celtics guard Dennis Schroder has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Phoenix Suns. He recently cleared COVID-19 protocols, but is headed right back into it. Luckily, Marcus Smart (hand) is no longer of the injury report and will see an extended role with Schroder sidelined. Smart will be a must-have option and a strong DFS option with the Celtics are shorthanded. Payton Pritchard and Romeo Langford should see an uptick in value and minutes. Pritchard has some low-end streaming option, but Smart is going to benefit the most out of anyone.

Boston Celtics guard Dennis Schroder has cleared the league's health and safety protocols. He was first announced to be out with protocols on December 25, but it appears he has cleared it quickly. It sounds like Schroder will be ready to go for Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. Payton Pritchard and Romeo Langford will see less minutes and take a hit in value with Schroder returning. Fantasy managers should check back on Wednesday just in case something changes.

Boston Celtics guard Dennis Schroder (illness) is available for Monday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. He will be back in action after missing each of the last two games due to a non-COVID related illness. His return will mean less minutes for Payton Pritchard and Aaron Nesmith, but neither were much of a fantasy option anyway. Fantasy managers should make sure they have Schroder back in their lineups for Monday's contest.

Boston Celtics guard Dennis Schroder (illness) won't play on Saturday against the visiting New York Knicks. This will be the veteran's straight absence as he continues to deal with a non-COVID-related sickness. Romeo Langford (neck) is questionable, but he will likely take Schroder's place if available. However, Josh Richardson, who had 15 points on Friday night against the Warriors, will probably get even more minutes if Langford can't suit up.

Boston Celtics point/shooting guard Dennis Schroder (illness) has been ruled out for Friday's game vs. the Warriors due to an illness. Schroder's absence figures to funnel minutes toward Payton Pritchard, although his DFS viability is in question with Marcus Smart holding down starting PG duties. Schroder's output during December has fluctuated wildly, with games of 31 and seven points under his belt in a seven-contest stretch. The 28-year-old remains a viable season-long fantasy asset due to his 17.1 points per game average in his first year with Boston. His next chance to take the floor comes Saturday against New York.

Boston Celtics guard Dennis Schroder (ankle) is a game-time decision for Friday's game against the Phoenix Suns. It sounds like Schroder suffered this ankle injury during Wednesday's contest. Fantasy managers are likely going to have to wait until closer to tip-off for more information. Marcus Smart and Payton Pritchard would likely be asked to step up, assuming Schroder is out. Smart would be a great DFS option, while Pritchard would be too risky to trust in most formats.

Boston Celtics center Robert Williams III (illness) and guard Dennis Schroder (ankle) should be active for Wednesday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers, according to head coach Ime Udoka. Williams should slide back into the starting five, while Grant Williams heads to the bench after starting the last three games. Schroder has only missed one game and should resume his role as the sixth man. Fantasy managers should double check on Wednesday, but it sounds like both players should be back in the rotation.

Boston Celtics point guard Dennis Schroder nailed three triples and shot a solid 13-for-22 overall from the field in Saturday's 111-105 win over Oklahoma City, scoring 29 points. He pulled down four rebounds and handed out six dimes with two turnovers in 36 minutes. The German has faced three former teams on the bounce and has clearly relished the matchups. The last two performances have been particularly explosive from Schroder, who entered Saturday's matchup after a 21-point effort in Friday's battle with the Lakers. He started his revenge tour with 15 points against Atlanta. Schroder has been on a very good run ever since Jaylen Brown (hamstring) dropped out of the lineup, and his success should continue on Monday against a struggling Rockets team.

Boston Celtics guard Dennis Schroder (ankle) is available for Saturday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. He was listed as probable heading into the contest, but there was some doubt because of the fact it's a back-to-back set. He put together a solid performance on Friday and looks to build on it here. Schroder should be worth looking at as a low-cost DFS option for Saturday's slate.

Boston Celtics guard Dennis Schroder (ankle) is listed as probable for Saturday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. It's worth noting he was listed as questionable for Friday and ended up playing. He finished with 21 points, six rebounds, six assists, and four turnovers. There's a good chance that he suits up again here, but possibly the Celtics take the cautious approach because of the back-to-back set. Josh Richardson and Payton Pritchard would have some streaming appeal without Schroder on the court.

Boston Celtics guard Dennis Schroder (ankle) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. This would be his first chance of playing his former team since leaving over the offseason. However, the organization is likely going to wait and see how Schroder feels pregame before making a final decision. In the meantime, Romeo Langford, Aaron Nesmith, Payton Pritchard and Josh Richardson would all see increased playing time without Schroder available. Richardson is the best option out of the bunch and could have some DFS value on Friday. Both Pritchard and Richardson might be worth streaming, but it'll depend on whether or not Schroder plays.

Boston Celtics guard Dennis Schroder dropped a season-high 38 points in Friday's overtime win over the Bucks. Schroder added eight rebounds, three assists, three triples, and a steal in 41 minutes. The 28-year-old raced off to a fast start, scoring 14 points in the opening period, and later came up big with a late bucket to help seal the win for Boston. Schroder's turnovers have hurt his value a bit, but he's been a solid fantasy guard even before the added usage he's seen with Jaylen Brown (hamstring) injured. He'll be worth turning to in DFS formats until Brown returns, as he's scored 20-plus in three straight games, though he'll still be valuable as the sixth-man for Boston's squad.

Boston Celtics point guard Dennis Schroder posted a second consecutive game with 20 points on Wednesday, shooting 8-for-15 from the field in a 104-88 win over Toronto. He was 2-for-3 with the three-ball and delivered four assists while bagging three rebounds. It's was a very nice night for the German, although fantasy managers could've done without his eight turnovers. Schroder has boosted his scoring numbers in recent games, as he replaced Jaylen Brown (hamstring) in the starting five. Brown is expected to miss up to two weeks of action, so Schroder has a great chance to impress. However, scoring might not come as easy for him in the next few matchups, as Milwaukee and Cleveland are both capable of playing very good defense. The Cavaliers are also a very slow-paced team, which will likely limit scoring opportunities in the game.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The Los Angeles Lakers are acquiring All-Star point guard Russell Westbrook from the Washington Wizards for three players and the rights to first-round pick Isaiah Jackson. According to two people with knowledge of the deal, the Lakers are trading Kyle Kuzma, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope and Montrezl Harrell to Washington for Westbrook, who is a Los Angeles native and helped lead UCLA to a pair of Final Four appearances. The Lakers had the 22nd overall pick in Thursday's draft and selected Jackson, a 6-foot-11 forward from Kentucky.
