Welcome to the inaugural edition of the Fantasy Basketball Minutes Report. Every week, I will be going through each team’s updated minutes per game to see which players are seeing the court more or less than in previous weeks. With this information in hand, I’ll try to discuss any relevant fantasy risers or fallers; players who we should be adding off waivers or removing from our teams.
The charts below are also great for exploring on your own. You can track the minutes over the last three games, five games, ten games, and for the entire season to see what trends stand out to you. All of this data was made accessible by [**Kyle Bland**](https://x.com/blandalytics), who is incredibly talented and also incredibly generous, so make sure to give him a follow to check out all of his baseball data as well.

Obviously, the big change here is the knee injury to **Trae Young**, which will keep him out at least a month. In the meantime, we haven’t seen a major spike for any one player. Minutes have ticked up a bit for all starters, and those five (Daniels, Johnson, Alexander-Walker, Porziņģis, and Risacher) and going to be leaned on heavily. Kennard and Okongwu will see enough time to maybe pop a big fantasy day here and then, especially Kennard with his three-point shooting, but the biggest shift will be the way the usage rates tick up for the other starters.

The Celtics continue to toy around with their rotation in a season without **Jayson Tatum**. Recently, we’ve seen Joe Mazzulla use a lot of smaller lineups with **Josh Minott** spelling **Neemias Queta** at center. This has allowed **Jordan Walsh** to enter the rotation as a bigger guard/wing. That has cut into minutes for **Hugo Gonzalez** and **Baylor Scheierman**, but none of that is actionable in fantasy leagues other than the fact that Minott has settled into a consistent role and is contributing across most categories in his nearly 23 minutes per game.

As I mentioned last week. Brooklyn is a young team that is going to try and work in a bunch of rookies and second-year players around the main cogs **Michael Porter Jr., Cam Thomas**, and **Nic Claxton**. Thomas’ recent hamstring injury makes his minute totals look lower than they are, and we’ve seen **Terance Mann** grow into a bit more of a prominent role. It’s been a struggle early on for **Egor Dëmin** and **Ben Saraf**, but the rookies figure to continue to get plenty of minutes throughout the year.

The Bulls are 6-1. Who saw that coming? (_Yes, I will continue to ask that question if they continue to play this well)._ **Ayo Dosunmu** has been great off the bench and should be back on Friday after missing one game with a quad injury. The rest of the minutes have been relatively consistent and likely will be until **Coby White** returns, which is still a couple of weeks away.

**Darius Garland** is back, and his numbers here are from just one game. I would expect his minutes to continue to tick up here, and we should see other minutes fall as a result. In Garland’s first game back, we saw **Sam Merrill** move to the bench but still play 27 minutes. **Craig Porter Jr., Larry Nance Jr.**, and **Lonzo Ball** all saw their minutes take a hit, but Ball still played 23 minutes, so he would be usable if he was doing much on the statsheet.

The injuries are starting to pile up for the Mavericks, with **Dereck Lively II** and **Anthony Davis** joining **Kyrie Irving** on the sideline. Lively II is expected back next week, and Davis could return later this week, so these don’t seem like major injuries that will drastically impact playing time. **Daniel Gafford** has gotten the most immediate bump, and might until Lively returns, but the other changes have mostly been added minutes for guys like **P.J. Washington** and **Cooper Flagg**.

**Tobias Harris** is dealing with an ankle injury that kept him out earlier this week, and has led to **Isiah Stewart** and **Jalen Duren** getting some more playing time. With how Stewart has looked, it might make sense for the Pistons to keep his minutes increasing even when Harris comes back, which could be later this week. Stewart would be really interesting in fantasy if we knew he wouldn’t dip back to 23-ish minutes per game.

The Warriors are an older team, so they are going to deal with injuries all season. Right now, all of **Stephen Curry, Jimmy Butler**, and **Draymond Green** are listed as day-to-day and have missed recent games. That has obviously led to opportunities for second-round pick **Will Richard**, who had 30 points against the Kings. However, I don’t expect his playing time boost to last. **Moses Moody** has also seen his playing time increase in the wake of these injuries, and he’s been fine, but he hasn’t exactly played himself into a bigger role when the veterans all return.

The Pacers are riddled with injuries, as **Bennedict Mathurin, Obi Toppin, James Wiseman**, and **Andrew Nembhard** have all missed time due to injury. That has led to spikes in playing time all over the rotation, with **Johnny Furphy** and **Isaiah Jackson** being the biggest risers. We did expect Jackson to get a bigger role due to his previous performance, so I think some of his gains will stick, but guys like Furphy and **Jarace Walker** should see their minutes tick down when the key players return.

More offensive responsibility has also fallen to DeAndre Ayton and Rui Hachimura, but those guys were playing big minutes before anyway. Reaves is expected to return this week, so the rotation should remain similar to this until **LeBron James** returns, which might be another 2-3 weeks.

The Grizzlies are dealing with myriad injuries, so their rotation has been pretty small to start the season, at least in terms of meaningful minutes. **Zach Edey** is the closest player to returning since he has already been sent to Memphis’ G-League team, but **Ty Jerome** and **Brandon Clarke** are weeks away, so this rotation could continue to look like this for a while. It’s been nice to see **Cedric Coward** get a slight increase in minutes, and I expect that to continue given how good the rookie has looked.

The most interesting change has been **Derik Queen**, who was electric in the fourth quarter on Tuesday and then played 26 minutes against the Mavs on Wednesday, scoring 11 points with seven rebounds, two assists, and three steals. He figures to see the biggest bump in minutes while Zion is sidelined.

The other thing to note is that no Knicks player is over 33 minutes per game after their starting five played more than any other unit last year.

We also saw **Jared McCain** back for one game and now out again as he manages a knee injury. McCain should be back soon, and the 76ers clearly don’t want to keep playing **VJ Edgecombe, Kelly Oubre Jr.,** and **Quentin Grimes** as many minutes as they have, so expect those to reduce a bit as this team gets healthy. You’ll still likely want all three in fantasy, but they’ll be playing around three to five minutes per game less.

**Dillon Brooks** continues to battle a groin injury, and we’ve yet to see **Jalen Green** (hamstring) so far this season, so the Suns’ rotation could change a bit in the next week. As it stands, **Ryan Dunn** and **Jordan Goodwin** have seen an increase in minutes, but neither one is really fantasy viable.

**Russell Westbrook** has worked into a bigger role with his new team and played well, recording a triple-double this week. It’s going to be hard for the Kings not to keep his minutes up. However, **Zach LaVine** missed one game this week with a back injury, and **Domantas Sabonis** has missed two games with a rib injury, so those two will get back onto their court and get their normal minutes allotment soon enough. That would likely cause **Keon Ellis’** role to shrink a bit.

The Spurs are in the throes of some injuries right now, as **Luke Kornet** has been sidelined with an ankle injury, and **Dylan Harper** will now miss multiple weeks with a calf strain. In one game without Harper, we saw **Devin Vassell**‘s minutes tick up a bit, same with **Stephon Castle**. **Julian Champagnie** saw the biggest increase in minutes (just about five), but that was also the season debut for **Jeremy Sochan**, so it seems like a lot of minutes in the rotation will go to him now that he’s back.

The Jazz just lost **Walker Kessler** (shoulder) for the season, which should mean a big uptick in minutes and usage for **Jusuf Nurkić**; he’s a player you have to add in fantasy. We’ve also seen the team toy with **Taylor Hendricks** starting over **Kyle Filipowski**, and while that hasn’t led to a huge breakthrough, it’s a situation to monitor because Hendricks could be intriguing with starter’s minutes.

The Wizrads got **Bilal Coulibaly** back, and in his four games, he has not really cut into the playing time for young guys like **Bub Carrington, Kyshawn G**e**orge,** and **Tre Johnson.** The minutes have seemed to come at the expense of the veterans, which may also be related to **Khris Middleton** dealing with a knee injury. Still, this is great news for George, who remains a hold in fantasy leagues.
