Zaccharie Risacher (adductor) will not suit up for Tuesday's meeting with the Houston Rockets. The top pick of last year's draft was back from a six-game absence on Monday against the Minnesota Timberwolves, logging 20 minutes, but he will come out of the lineup on Tuesday for adductor injury management purposes.
De'Andre Hunter went off for a big 35-point game against Minnesota and looks set for a vital role again on Tuesday. Additionally,
Vit Krejci and
Garrison Mathews are likely to see additional action as well.

Zaccharie Risacher (adductor) will play on Monday night against the Timberwolves. The rookie missed the last six games because of an adductor strain and carried a questionable tag heading into this contest. But he's good to go. Under normal circumstances, his return would be good news. However, it's even better news, considering
Jalen Johnson (shoulder),
Trae Young (hamstring), and
Dyson Daniels (ankle) are ruled out. While Risacher hasn't been a consistently reliable fantasy contributor this season, he should see more opportunities to produce alongside
De'Andre Hunter (illness),
Vit Krejci, and
Onyeka Okongwu.

Zaccharie Risacher (adductor) is questionable for Monday's matchup with Minnesota. The rookie, who has missed the last six games because of an adductor strain, has averaged 10.5 points this season. However, with
Jalen Johnson (shoulder) and
Trae Young (hamstring) both ruled out versus the Timberwolves, Risacher would be in a position to be more productive. His fantasy ceiling would rise even higher if
De'Andre Hunter (illness) remains on the shelf after missing Saturday's loss to the Toronto Raptors.

Zaccharie Risacher (adductor) will miss at least one more week of action. The team announced on Tuesday that Risacher will be re-evaluated in one week. He has been out for three games already due to a strained left adductor. Risacher's absence is set to stretch to at least seven games.
Vit Krejci has moved to the starting unit as Risacher's replacement. He's averaging 9.7 points, 2.8 rebounds, 3.7 assists, and 1.0 steals in that role for the campaign.
De'Andre Hunter's fantasy stock has also received a boost. He has logged 30-plus minutes in back-to-back games for the first time this season.
