Due to Brandon Miller spraining his ankle during Monday's loss to Philadelphia, Martin made his sixth start of the season in Friday's rematch. He was solid against the 76ers, finishing one blocked shot shy of a complete stat line in 20 minutes on the floor. The negative for fantasy managers was the workload, with DaQuan Jeffries (12/5/1/1/1 with two 3-pointers in 30 minutes) and Tidjane Salaun (8/8/5/2 with two 3-pointers in 24 minutes) playing more than Martin. If Miller is back for Monday's game against the Rockets, there's no need to consider any of these three in most fantasy leagues.
Miller left Monday's matchup with the 76ers after sustaining the injury, and his status at Washington is up in the air. Isaiah Wong and Tidjane Salaun could see an uptick in playing time if Miller is sidelined.
Miller injured his ankle early in the fourth quarter while attempting a layup as he stepped on the foot of 76ers forward Guerschon Yabusele. His absence means more playing time for Isaiah Wong and Tidjane Salaun, neither of whom should be streamed in this spot. Miller played 31 minutes before the injury, finishing with 12 points (4-of-9 FGs, 2-of-3 FTs), four rebounds, four assists, one block, and two 3-pointers.
Bridges is set to return to the Hornets starting lineup after missing almost a month with a knee injury. His return will push Cody Martin out of the starting lineup and possibly the rotation altogether with Tidjane Salaun also returning.
Salaun is back after missing Saturday's loss to the Cavaliers. However, with Miles Bridges (knee) also in the lineup, the rookie is likely headed to the bench. Salaun isn't worth rostering in most fantasy leagues, especially when used in a reserve role.
