Kentavious Caldwell-Pope Questionable For Wednesday
Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (knee) is questionable for Wednesday's matchup with the Milwaukee Bucks. Caldwell-Pope sat out Sunday's game with Philadelphia due to a strained left knee. However, the 31-year-old did practice on Tuesday, potentially meaning he could be good to go versus the Bucks on Wednesday. If Caldwell-Pope is unavailable, the spotlight will be on Caleb Houstan, who will likely start. As a starter, Houstan has been averaging 6.8 points, 1.6 rebounds, 0.8 steals and 2.0 in 24.8 minutes during five contests in the 2024-2025 campaign.

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope Resting Against Timberwolves
Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (rest) will take off Friday night and won't be in the lineup against the Minnesota Timberwolves. The veteran is being rested for the second leg of a back-to-back. Tristan da Silva is set to start Friday's game in Caldwell-Pope's place. The starting role will boost da Silva's fantasy value, although his numbers have only slightly increased when he has been part of the starting group this season. In 35 starts, the 23-year-old rookie has averaged 8.9 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 1.8 assists.

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope Available On Thursday
Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (hamstring) is available ahead of Thursday's game against the Denver Nuggets. There was some uncertainty if Caldwell-Pope would suit up for both games of the back-to-back set. It appears that the veteran guard is feeling good enough to play after playing 22 minutes on Wednesday. The expectation is that Caldwell-Pope will have his normal role in the rotation, but he's really only offering low-end value right now.

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope May Rest On Saturday
Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (rest) is questionable for Saturday's meeting with Utah. The veteran isn't injured. But he may get the night off to rest before likely returning for Monday's game at Golden State. With Jalen Suggs (quadriceps) also uncertain to suit up against the Jazz, Anthony Black and Cole Anthony could find themselves in the starting lineup, enhancing their fantasy value. But Franz Wagner and Paolo Banchero, who took nearly half of Orlando's 81 shot attempts in Thursday's loss to the Portland Trail Blazers, should continue to benefit the most on the scoring end if KCP and Suggs aren't available.

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope Returns To Action Wednesday
Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (knee) will be in the lineup for Wednesday's battle against Milwaukee. He's back after missing one game due to a left knee strain. The veteran will likely bump Caleb Houstan back to the second unit. Before injuring his knee last week, Caldwell-Pope was enjoying his best stretch of the season with some hot outside shooting. However, with Paolo Banchero back in the lineup, Caldwell-Pope will have a reduced role on offense and may fall short of fantasy expectations.
