Fantasy Impact: Poeltl has had his name brought up with Toronto being in the talks about trading for Kevin Durant. It is possible we see the center agree to an extension with the Raptors at some point this offseason.

Timberwolves coach Chris Finch said he expects Naz Reid to remain with the Timberwolves next season. (Source: Jon Krawczynski on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Finch said the same about Julius Randle, so it is possible he is just being positive about both players who have players options. Randle is probably more likely to accept his player option between the two, but they both remain situations to monitor this offseason.

Kevin Durant and his agent are reportedly actively engaged with the Suns to find a trade partner ahead of the NBA Draft. (Source: Shams Charania on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: The Spurs, Rockets, Timberwolves, Knicks and Heat were specifically mentioned as having shown interest in Durant. Charania added that other teams have expressed interest as well. The NBA Draft is two weeks from Wednesday, so a trade could be coming soon.

The Bulls are reportedly willing to trade Nikola Vucevic this summer. (Source: Sam Amico on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Chicago may want to move Vucevic, though his contract may make it more difficult. He is still a double-double machine if a contending team is willing to take him on.

Zion Williamson is reportedly “very unlikely” to be traded this summer. (Source: Will Guillory on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: The trade rumors have continued surrounding Williamson as they have in recent years. He is entering the final three years of his contract, none of which are guaranteed so that may make a trade more possible. It remains unlikely nonetheless.

The Suns are expected to offer Devin Booker an extension this offseason. (Source: Brian Windhorst)

Fantasy Impact: Booker is eligible to sign an extension worth $ 149.8 million over two seasons. The future of the Suns is an uncertainty with Kevin Durant potentially getting traded and coach Mike Budenholzer getting fired. Bradley Beal is another player who could be moved this offseason by the Suns.

Alex Reese won't play in Monday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. (Source: Adam Aaronson on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: The 76ers have decided that Reese won't play on Monday. He is fully healthy at this point, so it looks like this was just a coach's decision. His absence will open the door for more work for Justin Edwards and Oshae Brissett.

Kessler Edwards will be unavailable for Monday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. (Source: Mike Curtis on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Edwards only has one game of eligibility left for the Mavericks at this point in the season, and they will save it and leave him sidelined for Dallas' game on Monday. The return of Anthony Davis (adductor) will more than account for his absence in this matchup.

Alex Len is set to make his debut for the Lakers on Wednesday against the Utah Jazz. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: The Lakers recently went out and picked up the big man, and he will be available to make his debut for his new team on Wednesday. He isn't likely to see much work, but it's worth watching how big of a role he plays in Los Angeles' rotation moving forward.

Terry Rozier will be available to play in Saturday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. (Source: Ira Winderman on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: News recently broke that Rozier is subject to an investigation regarding an illegal betting scheme, but he will be available to play on Saturday despite the investigation being ongoing. This shouldn't have much of an impact on him for the foreseeable future from a fantasy perspective.

The Kings are reportedly willing to listen to trade offers on De'Aaron Fox. (Source: Chris Haynes on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: It is a tricky situation between Fox and Sacramento as they can't seem to come to an agreement on an extension. Fox is set to enter free agency in 2026 which could make a trade a bit more difficult to come by. Nonetheless, Fox should still hold plenty of interest ahead of the February 6 trade deadline.

Nick Richards is set to make his debut with the Suns in Saturday's game against the Detroit Pistons. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: The Suns recently made a move to trade for Richards from the Hornets, and it looks like he will be available to make his debut with the team in Saturday's game, as he is not listed on their initial injury report. He should see a good amount of work with Jusuf Nurkic (illness) still out of the lineup for the time being.

Jimmy Butler is reportedly open to being traded to the Suns, Mavericks, Warriors and Rockets. (Source: Shams Charania on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: It seems likely that Butler will be traded at this point. It is a matter of when it will happen at this point.
