NBA Minutes Report: Tyler Kolek emerges, Ivica Zubac gets hurt, more

Welcome to the Fantasy Basketball Minutes Report. Every week, I will review 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, five, and ten games, and for the entire season, to see which trends stand out to you.

All of this data was made accessible by Kyle Bland, who is incredibly talented and also extremely generous. Be sure to follow him to check out all of his baseball data as well.

Atlanta Hawks

Name	Last 3	Last 5	Last 10
Onyeka Okongwu	35.5	35.8	34
Jalen Johnson	35.2	36	36.5
Dyson Daniels	32.5	33.8	34.5
Nickeil Alexander-Walker	32	32.8	32.6
Trae Young	28.7	25.8	25.8
Zaccharie Risacher	25.2	23.5	23.9
Vít Krejčí	21.8	22.9	24
Luke Kennard	19.7	18.8	18.7

Trae Young is back, but has that actually been a good thing for this team? The Hawks’ offense was kind of flowing without him, and the defense has taken a real step back with Young on the court. Fantasy managers don’t care about that, but Nickeil Alexander-Walker has seen his usage take a big hit, and this team isn’t playing as well of late.

Boston Celtics

Name	Last 3	Last 5	Last 10
Derrick White	34.4	34.1	33.5
Jaylen Brown	34	34.3	35.9
Payton Pritchard	32.3	32.6	32.4
Hugo González	31.4	25.2	18.4
Luka Garza	25.1	25.1	15.2
Sam Hauser	24.2	19.7	22.4
Anfernee Simons	24.1	24.7	23.7
Neemias Queta	23.5	26.1	25.8
Jordan Walsh	17.1	21	24.8

As we’ve seen all season, the fringes of the Celtics’ rotation (apart from White, Brown, and Pritchard) continue to change, with Hugo Gonzalez and Luka Garza getting increased minutes. Jordan Walsh has been battling an illness recently, but over the last two weeks, Gonzalez and Garza have been the two biggest contributors on the fringe of the rotation as the Celtics have looked to play a little bigger. Neemias Queta is still seeing some minutes, but Sam Hauser and Josh Minott are seeing their minutes decline.

Brooklyn Nets

Name	Last 3	Last 5	Last 10
Michael Porter Jr.	34.5	32.9	33.4
Egor Dëmin	30.6	27.1	25.8
Nic Claxton	29.9	30	30.2
Noah Clowney	29.3	28.5	29.2
Terance Mann	28.8	26.8	24.9
Danny Wolf	20.1	22.2	23.2
Nolan Traore	18.4	13.7	13.7
Day’Ron Sharpe	18.1	16.9	17.2
Ziaire Williams	16.9	19.5	20.4

Don’t look now, but the Nets are playing some feisty basketball. They’ve won three of their last four games and six of their last nine, and their defense has been tremendous. Offensively, this team is still basically driven by Michael Porter Jr. and Nic Claxton, but Egor Dëmin is emerging as a little bit more of a consistent threat, averaging 14 points, 2.6 rebounds, 2.6 assists, and 1.2 steals over his last five games, which is a top-150 player. This still isn’t a really good team, but they’re playing hard.

Charlotte Hornets

Name	Last 3	Last 5	Last 10
Kon Knueppel	31.2	34.5	34.3
Miles Bridges	31.2	33	32.7
Brandon Miller	29	32.3	31.8
Moussa Diabaté	26.9	24	21.2
Ryan Kalkbrenner	24.2	24	25.5
LaMelo Ball	24.1	25.4	25.7
Sion James	22.2	24.8	24.9
Tidjane Salaün	20.2	18.1	18.6
Collin Sexton	16	16	14.5

LaMelo Ball continues to be in and out of the lineup, and both Mason Plumlee and Ryan Kalkbrenner have been battling day-to-day injuries, which has meant extra minutes for Moussa Diabaté. Diabaté hasn’t done a ton with the minutes, but he is averaging 11.7 rebounds and 2.3 steals over the last three games with Kalkbrenner out, so the defensive value has been great. It won’t help fantasy managers too much, but it makes him a valuable player in the Hornets’ rotation. Collin Sexton also missed seven games with a quad injury and returned earlier this week to play 20 minutes against the Wizards, so we should expect those minutes to tick up soon.

Chicago Bulls

Name	Last 3	Last 5	Last 10
Josh Giddey	32.7	31.1	32.9
Nikola Vučević	31.2	30.6	29.3
Coby White	30.7	30.2	28.9
Matas Buzelis	26.8	25.3	27.8
Tre Jones	22.8	23.4	24.5
Kevin Huerter	22.7	23.6	20.6
Isaac Okoro	20.1	22.9	23.5
Zach Collins	17.5	16.1	17.5
Ayo Dosunmu	15.6	15.6	24.5

The Bulls are finally healthy with only one player on their entire injury report. Of course, that has led to a confusing rotation behind Josh Giddey, Coby White, and Nikola Vučević. Matas Buzelis continues to be the most intriguing player of the rest of the roster, and he has looked good in his last three games, but he needs to find more consistency. Kevin Huerter is also averaging 13 points and 4.3 rebounds in his last three games and has taken a lot of minutes from Ayo Dosunmu, who also continues to play through multiple hand injuries.

Cleveland Cavaliers

Name	Last 3	Last 5	Last 10
Darius Garland	31.7	31.7	32.7
Donovan Mitchell	30.4	30.9	33.4
Dean Wade	27.4	26.4	25
Sam Merrill	27	27	27
De’Andre Hunter	25.6	26.1	26.8
Evan Mobley	25.3	25.3	32.8
Jarrett Allen	23.1	25.3	24.9
Jaylon Tyson	21.6	24.6	28.9
Lonzo Ball	18.7	20.7	23.2

Evan Mobley made his return after only missing five games with a calf injury that was allegedly supposed to have sidelined him for up to four weeks. Jarrett Allen went back to playing 23 minutes with Mobley back and scored seven points with eight rebounds. Thomas Bryant basically fell out of the rotation with only three minutes played. It’s back to the status quo for the Cavs.

Dallas Mavericks

Name	Last 3	Last 5	Last 10
Cooper Flagg	36.9	37.4	36
Max Christie	33.5	22.3	25.7
P.J. Washington	31.2	32.4	32.8
Naji Marshall	29.5	31.2	31.5
Klay Thompson	28.7	23.6	22.5
Anthony Davis	27.4	30.7	29.9
Ryan Nembhard	24.7	24.4	26.2
Brandon Williams	19.9	22.5	22.2
Jaden Hardy	19.4	19.4	15.3

Anthony Davis continues to battle injuries and just left Thursday’s game with a groin injury. As we’ve come to see, a Davis injury will mean more minutes and usage for P.J. Washington and Naji Marshall and would likely also mean more run for Daniel Gafford, who hasn’t played over 17 minutes in any of the six games since being back from injury. Ryan Nembhard‘s play has also really fallen off of late, and we saw Brandon Williams play 30 minutes and score 26 points on Thursday, so this might be an ugly hot hand situation for a while.

Denver Nuggets

Name	Last 3	Last 5	Last 10
Nikola Jokić	35.9	34.9	35.2
Jamal Murray	35.6	35.4	35.6
Tim Hardaway Jr.	31.6	30.4	29.8
Peyton Watson	31.5	31.5	27.3
Spencer Jones	29	26.7	26.2
Bruce Brown	27.4	28.8	27.6
Cameron Johnson	26.5	30.2	33.7
Jalen Pickett	13.7	18.4	16.6
Jonas Valančiūnas	13.6	13.9	13.9

The Nuggets could be getting Aaron Gordon and Christian Braun back as early as next week, and they need them because Cameron Johnson is now going to be sidelined for a month with a knee injury. Without him, Bruce Brown figures to take on a big of a bigger role, and Tim Hardaway Jr. should see his usage continue to increase. He’s averaging 17.8 points and 2.8 rebounds over the last four games, but he doesn’t contribute much else

Detroit Pistons

Name	Last 3	Last 5	Last 10
Cade Cunningham	33.4	36.2	34.5
Ausar Thompson	29.8	24.2	25
Tobias Harris	29.8	27.9	27.4
Duncan Robinson	29.1	25.2	25.6
Jalen Duren	26.9	28.8	28.6
Ronald Holland II	23.1	19.2	19.4
Isaiah Stewart	22.1	24	23.1
Javonte Green	18.7	17.8	15.2
Caris LeVert	18.3	20.2	21
Jaden Ivey	15.2	16.2	15.8

There are too many players in this rotation. Yes, it’s great to have a deep team, and the Pistons remain at the top of the Eastern Conference, but this is a ship driven by Cade Cunningham and Jalen Duren and then a rotation of guys who step up in different games. That might change if Ausar Thompson could develop some consistency, but this feels like a team that could make a consolidation trade to move on from somebody like Jaden Ivey, who barely plays, and some other pieces to add a bigger offensive force that can help them win a title.

Golden State Warriors

Name	Last 3	Last 5	Last 10
Stephen Curry	33	33.6	33.3
Jimmy Butler III	32	33	30.7
Brandin Podziemski	28.6	29.2	26.6
Moses Moody	26.8	26.9	23.4
Quinten Post	21.7	22.3	24.6
De’Anthony Melton	18.4	17.8	18.5
Draymond Green	17.9	22.7	21.7
Will Richard	15	15	19.4
Gary Payton II	14.6	11.7	12.4

Draymond Green‘s minutes are down because he stormed off the court in the third quarter on Monday. I mean, not really, but also kind of. Green simply isn’t the player that he used to be, and he’s not impacting the game in as meaningful a way. You have to wonder if the team would be better off if some of his minutes went to Brandin Podziemski or Al Horford, who just came back from injury.

Houston Rockets

Name	Last 3	Last 5	Last 10
Amen Thompson	37.2	38.1	37.7
Kevin Durant	36.8	38.5	36.9
Jabari Smith Jr.	34.7	37.3	37
Alperen Sengun	33.4	33.3	34.3
Reed Sheppard	26.5	27.3	26.3
Tari Eason	20	20	20
Steven Adams	19.8	23.2	21.7
Josh Okogie	18.4	22.8	22.9

Can we just take a minute to acknowledge that Clint Capela has somehow become a player who plays just seven minutes a game? Jabari Smith Jr. is back to being a top-100 player in fantasy basketball over the last two weeks, averaging 16.7 points, 7.5 rebounds, and 1.8 assists per game. Tari Eason also returned from injury and has seen his minutes tick up due to his strong defensive value. He played 26 minutes on Christmas against the Lakers, and that has relegated Josh Okogie to a much smaller role.

Indiana Pacers

Name	Last 3	Last 5	Last 10
Pascal Siakam	33.9	33.6	33.3
Bennedict Mathurin	32.5	33.5	32.1
Andrew Nembhard	32	32.7	32.5
Ethan Thompson	26.2	21.2	21.1
Jay Huff	22.5	22.1	24.1
Johnny Furphy	21.7	16.9	14.4
T.J. McConnell	19.1	17.9	15.6
Jarace Walker	17.4	18.1	18.7

This Pacers rotation has been pretty consistent for the last few weeks. They are working around injuries to Ben Sheppard and Isaiah Jackson, but neither player was playing huge minutes. T.J. McConnell has gone on one of his runs where he’s playing really solid basketball, and is a top-100 player in fantasy leagues over the last two weeks, but he’s still seeing under 20 minutes per game, which makes it hard to trust him too much.

Los Angeles Clippers

Name	Last 3	Last 5	Last 10
James Harden	37.8	36.8	35.1
Kawhi Leonard	37	37.7	34.9
John Collins	29.8	27.8	28.7
Kris Dunn	29.5	28.2	27.7
Brook Lopez	22.5	20.2	18.1
Nicolas Batum	21.7	23.2	23.3
Ivica Zubac	21.2	27.5	31.6
Bogdan Bogdanović	20.6	21	21.3
Kobe Sanders	20.1	16.4	18.7

Ivica Zubac went down with an injury this week, and the Clippers will be without him until the middle of January. I covered the fallout in a video this week, but I think John Collins figures to benefit the most.

Los Angeles Lakers

Name	Last 3	Last 5	Last 10
LeBron James	31.9	32.9	33.6
Deandre Ayton	31.9	31.3	29.7
Marcus Smart	29.9	29.8	29.6
Jake LaRavia	29.8	27.8	23
Rui Hachimura	27.7	30.5	30.7
Luka Dončić	26.7	32.8	34.7
Nick Smith Jr.	25	18.4	16.5
Jarred Vanderbilt	24.5	22.7	19.5
Austin Reaves	18.3	18.3	31.8

Austin Reaves is hurt again, leaving the Lakers’ Christmas game with a calf injury. We don’t know how many games, if any, he’ll miss, but his absence previously has (obviously) led to more usage for LeBron James and Luka Dončić, who is back from his own brief absence with a leg injury. Marcus Smart and Jake LaRavia would also likely benefit a little with increased playing time if Reaves were to miss games.

Memphis Grizzlies

Name	Last 3	Last 5	Last 10
Cam Spencer	34.7	33.5	29.2
Jaylen Wells	32.1	31.5	30.1

GG Jackson	21	21	21
Brandon Clarke	3.9	10.2	10.2
Vince Williams Jr.		21.7	21.1
Ja Morant		21	23.1

With Ja Morant sidelined again, Cam Spencer is enjoying a bit of a breakout, which I covered in a video this week, so check that out. Brandon Clarke also returned and then got hurt again, which led to an opportunity for GG Jackson, who returned from his own injury on Monday and then played 30 minutes on Tuesday, scoring 18 points and grabbing nine rebounds. He’s a name to keep an eye on.

Miami Heat

Name	Last 3	Last 5	Last 10
Jaime Jaquez Jr.	35.2	32.9	30
Norman Powell	34.9	34.3	32.9
Bam Adebayo	34.6	33.6	32.8
Davion Mitchell	29.1	30	30.8
Andrew Wiggins	28.5	30.6	31.4
Kel’el Ware	27.7	26.6	23.9
Kasparas Jakučionis	25.2	20.8	16.8
Tyler Herro			32.3

Tyler Herro is still out with his toe injury and is still trying to fit into this new-look Miami offense. I covered all of that in a video this week. In that time, Jaime Jaquez Jr. has stepped back into his larger role, but Kel’el Ware has also seen his role increase in a two-big-man look with Bam Adebayo. Ware has been a top-70 player in fantasy basketball over the last two weeks and deserves a bit more attention for how well he’s played.

Milwaukee Bucks

Name	Last 3	Last 5	Last 10
Kevin Porter Jr.	38.4	35.4	34.1
Bobby Portis	36.8	30.6	26.5
Kyle Kuzma	33.4	31.3	27.4
Myles Turner	32.1	29.7	26.5
Ryan Rollins	27.9	26.4	28.9
AJ Green	24.6	24.6	26.1
Jericho Sims	21.8	21.2	23.8
Gary Trent Jr.	17.7	22	24

Giannis Antetokounmpo remains out, and Gary Trent Jr. has played just 23 total minutes in the last two games as he battles a calf injury. In their stead, Kevin Porter Jr’s has been a top-15 player in fantasy basketball, and Ryan Rollins and Bobby Portis Jr. have both continued to play well in their expanded roles. They’re both top-100 players in fantasy basketball, but Myles Turner doesn’t seem to be doing much more with the bigger role, averaging just 13.3 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 2.0 assists over his last 5 games.

Minnesota Timberwolves

Anthony Edwards	38.7	39.2	37.6

Julius Randle	35	34.5	35

Naz Reid	27.3	28.5	29.8
Jaden McDaniels	24.2	30.5	34.1
Bones Hyland	22.2	23.3	21.6
Mike Conley	21.1	21.1	18.9

Minnesota has a pretty consolidated eight-man rotation, and little has changed. Bones Hyland has stepped into a slightly bigger role as a ball-handling scorer off the bench, and he might be better suited in that role than Mike Conley right now.

New Orleans Pelicans

Trey Murphy III	32.5	33.9	34.8
Bryce McGowens	30.6	16.5	23.4
Saddiq Bey	29.7	29.6	31.5
Jordan Poole	29.4	27.7	27.3
Derik Queen	28.8	29.3	30.8
Jeremiah Fears	24.6	24.4	26.8
Zion Williamson	23.2	23.5	23.5
Jose Alvarado	21	22.2	24.2
Herbert Jones	16.9	23	22

The Pelicans reportedly don’t want to trade Herbert Jones, but his ankle injury has kept him off the court and sapped some of his effectiveness. Derik Queen continues to be effective, even playing alongside Zion Williamson, and both have been top-80 players in fantasy basketball over the last two weeks. I would like to see more minutes for Jeremiah Fears, but Jordan Poole has seemed to cut into those.

New York Knicks

Name	Last 3	Last 5	Last 10
Jalen Brunson	38.7	37.1	36.8
Mikal Bridges	38	37.7	35.7
Josh Hart	34.1	34	33.5

Karl-Anthony Towns	30.2	31.5	31.9
Tyler Kolek	26.1	24	17.9
Jordan Clarkson	25.5	24.4	23
Mitchell Robinson	21.7	22.8	20.6

Tyler Kolek season is here, and I’m not sure it’s going anywhere. Deuce McBride is still managing an ankle injury, and Landry Shamet is out with a shoulder injury, so Kolek has stepped up and is averaging 10.7 points, 6.2 assists, and 4.8 rebounds over the last two weeks while playing crucial minutes at the end of games for the Knicks. At this point, the Knicks can’t take Kolek out of the rotation, so even when Deuce returns, it might be somebody like Jordan Clarkson who needs to lose more minutes.

Oklahoma City Thunder

Isaiah Hartenstein	24.6	25.6	24.2
Ajay Mitchell	22.2	24.6	25.1
Alex Caruso	19.3	19.1	18.9

Isaiah Hartenstein came back from his calf injury last week, so we’ve actually seen the full Thunder roster for the first time all season. Turns out, it’s a roster that can’t beat the Spurs. I’m kidding, but the Spurs are playing tremendously well against the Thunder. The rotation has become pretty consistent, but it’s a matter of who emerges. Chet Holmgren has not been as effective in recent games, but Ajay Mitchell has stepped up and been a top 100 player in fantasy leagues over his last four games.

Jalen Suggs	—	29.5	29.7
Tristan da Silva	—	12	21.5
Franz Wagner	—	—	27.4

Orlando’s rotation has become consolidated thanks to injuries to Franz Wagner, Jalen Suggs, and Tristan Da Silva. In that time, Desmond Bane has taken on a much larger role, averaging 198 points, 4.4 rebounds, 4.8 assists, 1.2 steals, and 1.8 blocks, which makes him a top 40 player. Anthony Black has also stepped into a much larger role and has been highly efficient for the Magic as well. We’ve also seen Noah Penda take on a bigger role now that he’s up from the G-League. I don’t expect that to last too long, but it’s been fun to see.

Andre Drummond	24	21.6	18.9
Dominick Barlow	24	27.4	28.3
Quentin Grimes	21.2	30	32.9

Joel Embiid survived a bit of an injury scare earlier this week, but seems ot have survived it. Quentin Grimes has seen his minutes decrease in the last two games, but he has also been battling an illness, so it might be connected to that. The 76ers continue to hum because of their young guards and a resurgent season from Paul George, who is averaging 16.4 points, 5.0 rebounds, 3.3 assists, and 1.6 steals per game in 12 games. Also, it’s pretty fun that Dominick Barlow is playing such a big role on a two-way deal.

Grayson Allen	—	28.5	28.3

Grayson Allen is battling a knee injury, but it doesn’t sound too serious. Jalen Green is also expected back in the first week of January, so this Suns team could be getting healthy soon. Collin Gillespie has also remained tremendously valuable even with Devin Booker back, but it remains to be seen if that would continue with both Allen and Green back too.

Jerami Grant	—	37.4	33.9

Jrue Holiday is still out, and now Jerami Grant has missed the last three games with an Achilles injury. In those three games, Donovan Clingan and Shaedon Sharpe have taken on larger usage roles. Those two guys, along with Deni Avdija, have all been top-60 players in that span, but Grant doesn’t figure to be out for too much longer.

Zach LaVine remains out with an ankle injury but could return early next week. Keegan Murray also suffered a calf injury earlier this week, so we’re still awaiting news on how long he will be out. Russell Westbrook continues to take on a large usage role with LaVine out and will do so for the foreseeable future. We have also seen Maxime Raynaud emerge of late, averaging 14.8 points, 10.0 rebounds, and 1.0 assists over the last two weeks, which has made him a top 100 player in fantasy leagues.

Victor Wembanyama is back but still on a bit of a minutes restriction. Nevertheless, the Spurs have been on a run of strong play lately, and this is a true contender. That being said, Dylan Harper has taken a bit of a backseat with the full crew back, and I’m a little surprised that Devin Vassell has been getting more playing time and being more productive than Harper. That said, he does fit what the team needs a little better, so he will likely remain impactful, and he’s been a top 110 player in fantasy leagues over the last two weeks.

Toronto Raptors

Name	Last 3	Last 5	Last 10
Scottie Barnes	34.3	34.2	35.2
Immanuel Quickley	32.9	32.4	32.3
Brandon Ingram	32.6	34.2	34.4
Sandro Mamukelashvili	25.7	26.4	24.2
Ochai Agbaji	23	22.3	21.4
Collin Murray-Boyles	22	19.6	17.7
Jamal Shead	21	22	23.2
Ja’Kobe Walter	19.3	17.9	18.7

Not much has changed for the Raptors in recent weeks. They’re still managing Jakob Poeltl’s minutes, and he’s missed three of the last four games. No other big man is really stepping up in his absence, so there’s no real corresponding move. RJ Barrett should also return as early as next week, which would be welcome for the Raptors.

Utah Jazz

Name	Last 3	Last 5	Last 10
Keyonte George	36.5	37.9	34.7
Lauri Markkanen	36.2	38	35
Kevin Love	30.2	25.6	20.7
Ace Bailey	29.1	27.6	28.9
Jusuf Nurkić	27.8	29.1	25.5
Isaiah Collier	26	27.5	21.8
Kyle Filipowski	22.9	26.7	27.8
Svi Mykhailiuk	22.5	21.1	23.5
Brice Sensabaugh	20.8	20.3	16.9

Things have remained pretty status quo for the Jazz over the last few weeks. The minutes and usage are dominated by Lauri Markkanen and Keyonte George, with Jusuf Nurkić and Isaiah Collier also continuing to give meaningful production in their minutes as well. Sadly, even though Ace Bailey is getting plenty of run, he’s averaging 12.5 points, 3.5 rebounds, and little else.

Washington Wizards

Name	Last 3	Last 5	Last 10
CJ McCollum	35.6	34	33.3
Kyshawn George	34.6	35.2	33.1
Bub Carrington	30	31.9	31.2
Alex Sarr	25.3	24.9	24.9
Bilal Coulibaly	23.4	23	25.9
Tre Johnson	22.8	21.6	20.8
Khris Middleton	22	22	25.1
Jamir Watkins	21.9	14.9	18.1
Marvin Bagley III	21.5	23.4	25.3

Alex Sarr, Bilal Coulibaly, and Khris Middleton are all back. Coulibaly played 23 minutes in his first game back, and Bub Carrington was down to 15 minutes. However, Carrington also had a foot injury in that game, so we may not know until Friday just how the Wizards are splitting up these minutes after Carrington emerged when everybody else was out. Marvin Bagley III has also played well in his limited minutes, and he could be useful on another squad if he gets traded.
