Fantasy basketball 30 – Tyrese Haliburton is putting on a show in Sacramento

Who is trending up around the NBA? Which rotations are changing? What’s the latest with the notable injuries and players in health and safety protocol?

Here’s a look around the league at the most fantasy relevant news and notes for all 30 teams:

Atlanta Hawks: Lou Williams and Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot joined Hawks teammates Trae Young, Danilo Gallinari and Clint Capela in the league’s COVID-19 health and safety protocol, further depleting their roster. Cam Reddish and Kevin Huerter will benefit most from more playing time.

McDaniels has averaged 16.7 minutes per game this year, but has been extremely productive when given more minutes. With a usage rate of only 13.5%, he averages 15 points, 8.8 rebounds, and 2.3 assists per…
