The Minnesota Timberwolves are waiving forward Matt Ryan and, in a corresponding move, signing guard Daishen Nix to a two-way contract. Ryan last played for the Los Angeles Lakers and Timberwolves last season and he appeared in 34 games total. He provided a bit of shooting from the wing, but not much else outside of that. Nix, meanwhile, played for the Houston Rockets the past two seasons and saw some more opportunities last year when he appeared in 57 games. He averaged 4.0 points, 1.7 rebounds, and 2.3 assists across 16.0 minutes per game. Neither one of these moves should affect any fantasy rosters in the immediate future.

Houston Rockets guard Daishen Nix is set to make his first career NBA start against the Los Angeles Clippers on Sunday. The Rockets are shorthanded with Kevin Porter Jr. (foot) injured and Jalen Green serving his one-game suspension. That being said, Nix will get a chance to show what he can do in the starting five. Tyty Washington should also get decent playing time on Sunday. Although, neither player is a great streaming choice for Sunday's slate. Most fantasy managers should be able to find a better option than Nix or Washington.
