Roto Assist

Kevin Durant – Ankle – He wants to play but he has to be cleared by doctors before he can play. The Daily Oklahoman is reporting that the injury could sideline him up to a month. This is a huge blow to his owners as he was having a top 5 type of year. Hopefully he’ll be able to return sooner rather than later, for his owner’s sake.

Kevin Garnett – Knee – Still out for at least this week. The Celtics don’t want to bring Garnett back too soon and risk losing him for the playoffs too.

Danny Granger – Foot – He may be able to play on this upcoming road trip but give him a game or two before you put him back in your lineup.

Luol Deng – Shin – Apparently there is no stress fracture so it looks as though he’ll just need a little rest. He hasn’t been playing well though lately so temper your expectations when he does return.

Allen Iverson – Back – He’ll be coming off the bench now but might be able to play Tuesday.

Gilbert Arenas – Knee – He’s been fully practicing and could return this season. Now is the time to trade him to someone who thinks he’ll come in and save their team.

Manu Ginobili – Ankle – He’s getting closer to a return but not exactly sure when that will be. Keep an eye on him though.

Monta Ellis – Ankle – He could return soon but don’t expect huge minutes from him. The Warriors will want to keep him healthy at all costs.

Shawn Marion – Flu – He played sparingly Sunday, and is questionable for Tuesday. These things can really take a toll on a players energy.

Nene Hilario – Knee Contusion – He is back earlier than expected and boy are his owners happy. Feel free to insert him into your lineup as there seems to be nothing holding him back now.

Zach Randolph – Personal – He left the team to be with his father. He is questionable for their next game.

Steve Nash – Ankle – He could play Tuesday after missing 3 straight. That would mean that Leandro Barbosa’s value will take a hit again.

Jason Terry – Hand – He returned Sunday earlier than anyone expected.

Eric Gordon – Shoulder – He has missed three consecutive games but he might play Monday, but there is a better chance that he will play Wednesday.

Chris Kaman – Strained Arch – No return in site yet.

Greg Oden – Knee – Still no timetable for when he will return but it won’t be in the next few days. He has not been progressing as quickly as was expected.

Mike Dunleavy – Knee – He is officially out for the rest of the season. Drop him if you already haven’t.

Ben Wallace – Broken Leg -Wallace is currently in an air cast but will be reevaluated by doctors to see if he needs a plaster cast. He could be out for the rest of the regular season.

Brandan Wright – Shoulder – Still no timetable set for his return but Anthony Randolph had a monster game, 20 pts, 8 reb and 4 blocks!!!

Tim Thomas – Left Quad Tendon Strain – He missed the second half of Saturday’s game and is now listed as day-to-day with a strained quad.

Sasha Pavlovic – Ankle – He may return Monday vs. Heat but no guarantees.

Drew Gooden – Hernia – The Sacramento Kings bought out Gooden’s contract as expected and now he is free to sign with another team. He will most likely sign with the Spurs or the Cavs.

Carl Landry – Ankle – He’s playing again and is worth a look.

Sebastian Telfair – Groin – Listed as day to day after sitting out Sunday with a sore groin. He is definitely a risky play this week. Wait until you see him back in the lineup before inserting him into your lineup.

Beno Udrih – Foot – He may play Tuesday but really hasn’t been worth a roster spot all season.

Grant Hill – Foot – He has been playing well but is always an injury risk.
