Avery Bradley Remains Unavailable Tuesday
Avery Bradley (knee) will miss Tuesday's game against Dallas, marking his fourth consecutive absence due to a right knee effusion. Austin Reaves has shifted into the starting five for the past two games, but he has not been much of a fantasy factor even with the increased role. Talen Horton-Tucker and Malik Monk stand to see an additional handful of minutes without Bradley available on the wing. Even when healthy, Bradley has primarily been a defense-first option for the Lakers, with the veteran having scored in double figures just twice over his last 17 games. His next chance to take the floor comes Thursday vs. the Clippers.

Avery Bradley To Sit Out Sunday
Avery Bradley (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. This marks the third game in a row that Bradley has missed due to a right knee issue. Talen Horton-Tucker should continue to see more playing time without Bradley available. He finished with 16 points during Friday's game, but Horton-Tucker has been inconsistent all season long. He's a possible streaming option for desperate fantasy managers for Sunday's slate.

Avery Bradley Will Miss Friday’s Game
Avery Bradley (knee) has been ruled out for Friday's contest against the Clippers as he continues to battle a right knee effusion. Bradley, an integral member of L.A.'s starting five, has been more impactful on the ball defensively than as a fantasy contributor in 2021-22. Malik Monk slid into the starting five in the final outing of the first half without Bradley available, while Talen Horton-Tucker and Austin Reaves also played significant roles and minutes off the bench. Bradley's next chance to return to action comes Sunday vs. New Orleans.

Avery Bradley Might Sit Out On Friday
Avery Bradley (head) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. He suffered a head contusion during Wednesday's contest, but managed to play 33 minutes during that game. Bradley hasn't been much of a fantasy option this season, but has played significant minutes in the rotation. His absence would open up more chances for Talen Horton-Tucker. He'd likely jump into the starting five, assuming Bradley is unable to play. Horton-Tucker could have some streaming appeal and low cost DFS value if he starts on Friday.

Avery Bradley Ruled Out For Tuesday
Avery Bradley (thumb) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Sacramento Kings. He has been in the starting five lately, but will miss at least one game due to a sprained right thumb. Malik Monk, Wayne Ellington, and Talen Horton-Tucker will absorb extra minutes with Bradley sidelined. Horton-Tucker is the best fantasy option out of the bunch. He has some DFS appeal for Tuesday's slate.
