Hey, we have some positive news for today’s slate! A couple All-Star caliber players are back in action today with C.J. McCollum off the injury report and Bam Adebayo (knee) listed as probable and likely back. Let’s kick it off there and then go through game by game.
The Returns
Bam is back! His knee tendinitis was bad, and he mentioned it at shootaround today. “It hurt like s—,” he said. He added on a scale from 1 to 10, the pain felt like a 10. He might have a minutes cap on him, but his return will bump Kelly Olynyk over to the PF spot more often. That will also really cut into the wings/guards because of Jimmy playing more of a ball-handling role as more of a SF than a PF like he had been doing at times. Kendrick Nunn‘s minutes could be really low today, assuming Tyler Herro is a go (he’s probable in a B2B).
McCollum is also all set for today after a couple months on the shelf. He will almost certainly have a hard cap on his minutes, but his return will certainly cut into Gary Trent Jr., Derrick Jones Jr., Carmelo Anthony and maybe even Robert Covington. McCollum is priced up like normal, so he’s not exactly a play today. This shouldn’t affect Damian Lillard too much besides just a slight hit to his ceiling.
