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.

Zaccharie Risacher (adductor) remains out heading into Saturday's meeting with the Celtics. The 19-year-old, who wasn't available in the win over the Bulls because of an adductor strain, has been inconsistent for fantasy managers this season, averaging 10.5 points and 3.5 rebounds. He's also shot just 28.1% from behind the arc. Until he's back on the floor,
De'Andre Hunter (foot), who is probable, will likely fill the void in the lineup. Hunter played well in two starts this season, averaging 18.0 points, 6.5 rebounds, and 1.0 steals, giving him plenty of upside for fantasy managers. That will still apply even if he comes off the bench.
