J. Sullinger - PF

Raptors sent Jared Sullinger to the D-League.

After not making his season debut until January 18th, Sullinger is still in the process of getting back up to NBA speed and stamina. He has yet to play more than 17 minutes in any of his five games, and will now head to the D-League for likely just one game to get some additional court time.

D. Valentine - SG

BOS

Denzel Valentine has been assigned to the D-League.

Valentine has seen his playing time oscillate for most of the season. He played 24 minutes on January 20th against Atlanta, but hasn't seen any action in Chicago's last 4 games. It could be a temporary move just to get Valentine some action in the D-League. Don't be surprised if he's brought back up in a week or two.

D. Jackson - PG

Demetrius Jackson has been reassigned to the D-League.

Jackson, who was selected in the second round out of Notre Dame, has been bouncing between the D-League and the Celtics, and it appears as though he's on his way back to the Maine Red Claws of the D-League. Jackson had been dealing with an illness while with the Celtics and did not appear in a game with the team since he was recalled. He's played in just four NBA games this season and will get some much needed playing time in Maine.

O. White - SF

CHI

Okaro White has signed a second 10-day contract with the Heat.

White has played well since joining the Heat. He set new career highs in minutes (27), points (10), and rebounds (7) last game in a win over the Nets. He is not worth adding yet, but fantasy owners should keep an eye on him and see if he continues to produce.

C. McCullough - PF

Nets have recalled Chris McCullough from the D-League.

McCullough Has been up and down this season between the Nets and the D-League. He will not see enough minutes to make any kind of a real impact on the fantasy world and can be left on the waivers, barring a few injuries in Brooklyn.

Joel Bolomboy has been reassigned to the D-League.

Bolomboy has appeared in just nine games for the Jazz this season despite being on the roster for quite some time due to all of the injuries the team has suffered. He should keep his bags packed, however, because he's bound to get the call back to the team sooner rather than later.

P. Jackson - PG

Pierre Jackson has signed a second 10-day contract with the Dallas Mavericks.

Jackson joined the Mavericks earlier this season and after averaging just three points and 1.8 assists in 7.0 minutes per game through four games, they let him go. Dallas gave him another shot 10 days ago and he's stepped up his game and earned another few games. He does not have much fantasy value when the Mavericks backcourt is healthy.

D. Wright - PG

WAS

Delon Wright was recalled from the D-League.

Wright's only logged 5 minutes of action in 12 January games with the Raptors so he doesn't have much fantasy value. The timing for his call up gives Toronto some needed depth at PG as Kyle Lowry stayed in the game tonight against San Antonio despite suffering an injury in the final minutes. Wright likely won't see much game time unless there are multiple, serious injuries.

M. Williams - PG

The Denver Nuggets have claimed Mo Williams off waivers.

This is a peculiar move seeing how Denver already has a pretty big logjam at the guard position. Williams figures to have no real role with the Nuggets, similar to long-time veteran Mike Miller already has with the team. Williams slots in behind Mudiay, Nelson and Murray on the depth chart. With all that being said, it's expected that Denver will actually waive Williams for salary cap purposes.

N. Jokic - C

DEN

Nikola Jokic contributed 41 points to go with 11 rebounds, four assists and a pair of three-pointers.

Jokic was monstrous on the offensive end in this one, hitting 16-of-28 shots and 7-of-8 free throws to deliver his third 40-point effort of the 2023 postseason. Denverâ??s other four starters combined for 41 points on 15-of-34 shooting, and Jokic understandably focused his energy on scoring with so many teammates struggling. The four assists are his fewest of the postseason, and they match his second-fewest of the regular season. Jokic has been masterful for the entirety of the Nuggetsâ?? playoff run and, despite the loss, he was the best player on the court again Sunday. The Nuggets suffered their first home loss of the playoffs, but Jokic will look to guide his team to a road win Wednesday in Miami for Game 3.

B. Adebayo - C

MIA

Bam Adebayo accumulated 21 points on 8-of-14 shooting Sunday in a win over Denver, adding nine rebounds, four assists and two blocked shots.

As expected, Bam got the job done in the paint, and he was even more efficient than the 13-of-25 shooting night he had in Game 1 when he scored 26. Bam finished behind only Gabe Vincent (23 points, four triples) for team lead in scoring, and through two games, Adebayo is the teamâ??s leader in points. Jimmy Butler has struggled on offense, racking up 34 points on 33 field goals, but the difference between Game 1 and Game 2 was Max Strus and Duncan Robinson hitting shots, and Miamiâ??s bench playing a bit more consistently throughout the contest. Adebayo has had his way with Denver in the series thus far, and thereâ??s no indication heâ??ll slow down in Game 3 back in South Beach.

K. Love - PF

MIA

Kevin Love scored six points Sunday and added 10 rebounds, an assist, two steals and two triples as the Heat defeated the Nuggets 111-108.

Love was a DNP-CD in each of Miamiâ??s last three games, but with Caleb Martin dealing with a non-COVID illness (yet still able to play), the former landed in the starting lineup Sunday. Love logged 22 minutes, his most since playing 23 in Game 4 of the second-round series against the Knicks, and turned them into quality production. Itâ??s unclear what his role will be Wednesday in Game 3, but Coach Spo should give him a long look when considering his rotations for the rest of the Finals.

G. Vincent - PG

MIA

Gabe Vincent finished Sundayâ??s win over Denver with 23 points, three assists, two steals and four triples.

Through two games of the NBA Finals, Miamiâ??s leading scorers areâ?¦ checks notes â?¦ Bam Adebayo and Gabe Vincent. If you laid some money down on Bam and Vincent futures, itâ??s time to start playing the lottery! Vincent was blisteringly hot in this one, leading his team in the scoring department and stroking it from downtown yet again. The UC Santa Barbara product has 42 points on 15-of-26 shooting, including a mind-melting 9-of-16 from beyond the arc through Games 1-2, and heâ??ll look to keep up the hot shooting in front of his home crowd when the series shifts to Miami for Game 3 on Wednesday.

D. Robinson - SF

MIA

Duncan Robinson totaled 10 points on 4-of-5 shooting (2-of-3 3-Pointers) and added an assist across 17 minutes in Sundayâ??s win over Denver.

Robinson wasnâ??t on the court too much in this one, but he certainly made the most of his minutes. D-Rob started the fourth quarter, and to the untrained eye, it appeared Reggie Miller was out there wearing his jersey due to the speed of his scoring. Robinson racked up all 10 of his points in the first 2:16 of the quarter, acting as the catalyst for a 13-2 Miami run to take an 88-85 lead. Robinson and Miamiâ??s other role players came to play after dreadful showings in Game 1, and theyâ??ll look to carry that momentum into Wednesdayâ??s Game 3 at home.

The Heat will start Kevin Love over Caleb Martin in Game 2 against the Nuggets in Sunday, according to NBA TV's Jared Greenberg.

Martin was listed as questionable due to an illness, but this isn't because of that. Aaron Gordon toasted the Heat in the first quarter of Game 1, so Miami will attempt to counter with more size down low. Gordon's speed could still prove to be too much for Love to handle, but at least he shouldn't get as many wide open dunks.

C. Zeller - C

Cody Zeller (sprained right foot) will play in Game 2 against Denver on Sunday.

Zeller played a small role in Game 1, and he'll likely be used in a similar fashion in Game 2. He's a different look to throw at Nikola Jokic, but he isn't necessarily an effective option.

C. Martin - SF

MIA

Caleb Martin (illness) and Cody Zeller (right foot sprain) are both available for Game 2 of the NBA Finals against Denver on Sunday.

Martin shined in the Eastern Conference Finals, but he really struggled in Game 1 against Denver. This illness may have bothered him during that game, so hopefully he'll be more productive in Game 2. He should continue to start for them alongside Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo in the frontcourt. Zeller only played eight minutes off the bench in Game 1, so he likely won't use him much, aside from trying to throw a different look at Nikola Jokic, even if it wasn't very effective.
