Malaki Branham

A sprained right thumb will keep Branham sidelined against Cleveland, but his absence shouldn't cause much of a stir in the realm of fantasy hoops. He logged 14 minutes off the bench on Saturday, but that was due to multiple injuries ahead of him on the depth chart. He's logged just eight minutes per game this season.

Branham, who played 14 minutes off the bench in Saturday's loss to the Hawks, is dealing with a sprained right thumb. However, with Tre Johnson and Cam Whitmore absent from the injury report, Branham will likely fall out of the rotation if he's available on Friday.

Whitmore's limited role off the bench hasn't resulted in much fantasy production this season. If he were to miss a game for the first time this year, Jamir Watkins and Malaki Branham would likely see a bump in minutes, though there wouldn't be a clear streaming option based on Whitmore's absence.

Kispert was on a roll to begin Tuesday's game, scoring 16 points in the first quarter. Unfortunately, he suffered a right thumb injury during the third quarter and has been ruled out for the rest of the night. With Tre Johnson and Kyshawn George also out, Cam Whitmore will have added value if all three remain sidelined. Malaki Branham has played rotation minutes out of necessity on Wednesday, but he is not worth the risk in fantasy leagues.
