Trae Young injury update: January 14 vs. Suns

NBA DraftKings Fantasy Advice

Updated:

By: Stan Son

Trae Young ($10,000) has an illness and is questionable for Tuesday’s game against the Phoenix Suns.

Atlanta has a back-to-back on Tuesday at home and Wednesday in Chicago with the next game on Saturday in Boston.

If Young is unable to go, then Vit Krejci ($3,400) would likely get the start with Keaton Wallace ($3,000) seeing extended minutes off the bench. Krejci is averaging 0.66 FPTS per minute while Wallace is at 0.74 FPTS.

Jalen Johnson and Kobe Bufkin remain out. With Johnson, Bufkin and Young off the court this season, Dyson Daniels ($7,100) has seen a team-leading 7.5% usage rate bump.

Stan joined DraftKings in December of 2020. It was a glorious time, except for that whole COVID thing, when we got Madden streams and boisterous bat flips from the KBO. I was brought on board to bring some West Coast flavor. I especially love hoops, and most of my content is in that arena. When I walk along the beach, strumming my guitar, the beat that I hear is not one of crashing waves. No, it is the beat of the ball bouncing off the hardwood with highs provided by the squeaks of the sneakers. Ball is life.
