D'Angelo Russell Expected To Suit Up Monday
2 years agoMinnesota Timberwolves point guard D'Angelo Russell (knee) has been listed as probable to play in Monday's contest vs. Dallas after making his return to action Sunday following a two-game absence. Russell was clicking on all cylinders offensively in his first night back, shooting 10-for-14 overall and 7-for-10 from long range, giving fantasy managers a glimpse of his skill set when healthy. He'll face a tough matchup against the Mavs, who are yielding the third-fewest overall DFS points per outing per DraftKings' scoring this season. With Jordan McLaughlin (calf) ruled out, Austin Rivers could snag some minutes with the second unit, but Russell figures to play another sizable role barring a late setback.

D'Angelo Russell Remains Out On Monday Night
3 weeks agoBrooklyn Nets guard D'Angelo Russell (ankle) won't suit up on Monday against the Wizards. The 28-year-old injured his ankle during the February 20 matchup with the Cavs and didn't get on the floor for Saturday's two-point win over the 76ers. Killian Hayes got the start at the one. However, Trendon Watford and Keon Johnson also assisted with the ball handling duties, with the duo combining for 27 points. Both Watford and Johnson could remain in line to see a bump in usage, which should continue to enhance their fantasy production.

D'Angelo Russell Unavailable For Saturday
3 weeks agoBrooklyn Nets point guard D'Angelo Russell (ankle) is unavailable for Saturday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. Russell sprained his right ankle on Thursday in a loss to the Cavaliers while posting just three points and five assists in 17 minutes of work. His next opportunity to play will be on Monday against the Wizards. Keon Johnson and Killian Hayes could see more action on the floor during Russell's absence, but their impact on fantasy during Saturday's contest will be limited.

D'Angelo Russell Active Versus Hornets
1 month agoBrooklyn Nets point guard D'Angelo Russell (illness) is good to go for Monday's matchup against the Charlotte Hornets. Due to an illness, Russell was initially regarded as questionable for the game before Brooklyn upgraded his status to available. Russell has blown hot and cold lately, but his overall numbers with the Nets have been solid. Since rejoining the team on Dec. 29, Russel has notched 14.2 points, 6.1 assists, and 1.4 steals in 24.4 minutes.

D'Angelo Russell Will Suit Up Against Miami
2 months agoBrooklyn Nets guard D'Angelo Russell (personal) will play on Saturday against Miami. The 28-year-old wasn't available for Wednesday's loss to the Phoenix Suns. Ben Simmons (illness) also wasn't on the floor for that one, resulting in Keon Johnson getting some work at the point and finishing with 20 points. But with Russell and Simmons back in the mix, Johnson likely won't be as productive. As far as Russell is concerned, he's played well since being acquired by the Nets, averaging 14.6 points, 8.3 assists, and 1.6 steals in seven appearances for Brooklyn. With Cameron Johnson (ankle) still on the shelf, D'Lo may be more productive.
