Atlanta Hawks Fantasy Spin

Taurean Prince (ankle) is unlikely to play this week. That could be four more games down the drain for Prince. He did go through some 1-on-1 work with head coach Lloyd Pierce on Sunday and we have heard he's making good progress, but the Hawks haven't given us a timetable yet. He's still worth stashing if you have I.R. spots in your league. In the meantime, Kevin Huerter and DeAndre Bembry will continue to be low-end fantasy options.

Toronto Raptors Fantasy Spin

Kyle Lowry said his back was sore for "a couple moments" during his return on Sunday, and that it's "something that's not going to go completely away." Before owners panic, know that Lowry intends to keep playing and added that the Raptors just "have to stay on it to make sure it's as minimal as possible." It's not an encouraging quote, to be sure, but it's also not an actual medical diagnosis -- for now we're assuming Lowry will be ready to go for all three of Toronto's games next week.
