Payton Pritchard Could Miss First Game of Season
Boston Celtics guard Payton Pritchard (ankle) is listed as doubtful for Saturday's matchup against Atlanta after being limited to a season-low workload Thursday and now dealing with left ankle soreness. He has been a steady fantasy contributor this season, averaging 16.6 points, 5.4 assists, 4.5 rebounds, and 2.5 three-pointers, making any absence notable across formats. If Pritchard sits, Anfernee Simons is positioned for a larger role after erupting for 39 points last game, with added usage and shot volume boosting his ceiling. Pritchard managers should closely monitor the status, while Simons profiles as a high-upside replacement play.

Max Christie Expected Back vs. Utah
Dallas Mavericks guard/forward Max Christie (illness) is probable for Saturday's game against Utah after missing two contests, setting up a return to a prominent role. Christie has been productive over his last nine games, averaging 15.1 points, 4.3 rebounds, 3.0 assists, and 2.4 three-pointers in 31.7 minutes, production that has held with Anthony Davis (finger) sidelined. His return could squeeze Brandon Williams, who started the past two games and played well, back into a bench role. Christie profiles as a strong hold in season-long leagues, with stable minutes and usage supporting streamer value if Dallas manages his workload cautiously.

Daniel Gafford Unlikely to Play vs. Utah
Dallas Mavericks center Daniel Gafford (ankle) is doubtful for Saturday's matchup against Utah, putting him on track to miss a second straight game with a right ankle sprain. His absence keeps the center rotation thin and points to another start for Dwight Powell, while Moussa Cisse (G League) is in line for extended minutes if available. Cisse delivered a strong double-double last game with 10 points, 13 rebounds, and three blocks in 23 minutes, but his role has been volatile across recent outings. He profiles as a high-variance deep-league streamer, while Powell offers steadier minutes with limited upside.

P.J. Washington Downgraded to Out vs. Utah
Dallas Mavericks forward/center P.J. Washington (personal) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against Utah after being downgraded from probable while attending to a personal matter, with Monday against New York up next. His absence leaves Dallas short-handed and opens additional minutes across the forward spots. Naji Marshall has taken on a larger role and produced 22 points, six rebounds, and four assists in 23 minutes in the last game, keeping him firmly in the streaming mix. Caleb Martin added 14 points and six assists in 28 minutes, while Klay Thompson went for 26 points with six three-pointers in 23 minutes, emphasizing his scoring-first fantasy appeal.
