Bucks-Mavs game postponed due to winter-weather storm affecting travel

Sun Jan 25 4:09pm ET
Field Level Media

Sunday night's matchup between the Milwaukee Bucks and visiting Dallas Mavericks has been postponed due to Dallas' inability to travel as a result of inclement weather conditions tied to this weekend's arctic storm.

The Dallas area got multiple inches of snow and sleet overnight into early Sunday morning. A projected high temperature of 25 degrees made the Mavericks' plane unable to properly defrost and take off Saturday evening or Sunday morning/afternoon after the team's 116-110 home loss to the Los Angeles Lakers on Saturday.

It's the second NBA game scheduled for Sunday which has been postponed. The Denver-Memphis game was postponed earlier in the day due to lasting weather concerns from the same storm.

The date for both rescheduled games will be announced at a later time, the NBA announced.

Player Notes
Kawhi Leonard Sun Jan 25 7:40pm

Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (knee, illness) is available against the Nets. The multi-time All-Star isn't feeling well while also dealing with a left knee contusion. However, he's good to go for a favorable matchup versus Brooklyn, a team that has struggled defensively throughout the 2025 campaign. With Leonard cleared for action, Kobe Sanders and Jordan Miller should see considerably fewer scoring opportunities.

Norman Powell Sun Jan 25 7:20pm

Miami Heat guard Norman Powell (back) is available to play ahead of Sunday's game against the Phoenix Suns. As expected, Powell is cleared to play after being listed as probable coming into this game. He has been dealing with a back issue, but will continue to play through the injury. Powell will continue to have a significant workload while the Heat are without Tyler Herro (ribs) and Davion Mitchell (shoulder) right now. Fantasy managers should make sure to get Powell in their lineups ahead of tip-off.

Jalen Green Sun Jan 25 7:10pm

Phoenix Suns guard Jalen Green (hamstring) is ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Miami Heat. Green made an early exit from Friday's game after appearing to aggravate his right hamstring. The Suns have decided to take the cautious approach and hold Green out for Sunday's contest. They will be shorthanded with Devin Booker (ankle) also heading to the sideline here. Their absence should mean, Grayson Allen and Collin Gillespie are likely going to play heavy minutes during this game. Both players are looking like strong streaming options for Sunday's slate. Fantasy managers will need to check back for another update on Green's timetable.

Kasparas Jakucionis Sun Jan 25 7:10pm

Miami Heat guard Kasparas Jakucionis (head) has been upgraded to available ahead of Sunday's game against the Phoenix Suns. Jakucionis made an early exit during Saturday's game after taking an elbow to the head. He suffered a facial contusion, which put his status for this game in jeopardy. It doesn't appear to be serious enough to keep him sidelined, so fantasy managers can get Jakucionis in their lineups. He figures to play a larger role with Davion Mitchell (shoulder) ruled out for this game. Jakucionis is worth a look as a low-end streaming option while Mitchell is sidelined.

Aaron Wiggins Sun Jan 25 7:00pm

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Aaron Wiggins (groin) is available to play ahead of Sunday's game against the Toronto Raptors. Wiggins is back in the mix after missing each of the last two games due to a lingering groin issue. He figures to have a full workload, given Wiggins only missed two games. This month, Wiggins is averaging 10.5 points, 4.7 rebounds, and 1.7 assists in 25.1 minutes per game. Cason Wallace and Isaiah Joe would likely see reduced roles with Wiggins back in the mix. Given the injuries to this roster, Wiggins does have decent streaming appeal with the Thunder banged up.

Trey Murphy III Sun Jan 25 6:50pm

New Orleans Pelicans forward Trey Murphy III (hand) is available to play ahead of Sunday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. Murphy was tagged as probable earlier in the day due to right-hand soreness. It doesn't appear to be serious enough to keep Murphy on the sideline. Fantasy managers should expect Murphy to have his full workload on Sunday. This season, Murphy is averaging 22.3 points, 6.0 rebounds, and 3.6 assists in 35.7 minutes per game. Fantasy managers should double-check their lineups and make sure Murphy is in there ahead of tip-off.

Jose Alvarado Sun Jan 25 6:50pm

New Orleans Pelicans guard Jose Alvarado (oblique) is available to play ahead of Sunday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. This marks the first time that Alvarado has suited up since January 6. He's likely going to have his minutes monitored, given Alvarado has missed nine straight games. His return to the court will likely reduce playing time for Jordan Poole and Jeremiah Fears. Alvarado offers some low-end streaming appeal, but isn't an ideal option given he'll likely be limited on Sunday. He's someone worth keeping an eye on once he gets back to full speed.

Ja'Kobe Walter Sun Jan 25 6:40pm

Toronto Raptors guard Ja'Kobe Walter (hip) is available to play ahead of Sunday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Walter is back in the mix after missing the last seven games due to a hip injury. It's unclear if Walter will have a minutes limit during his first game back in the rotation. Walter hasn't been a consistent contributor this season anyway, so he's better off left on waivers. His role will likely be minimal, especially with Immanuel Quickley (ankle) cleared to play.

Immanuel Quickley Sun Jan 25 6:30pm

Toronto Raptors guard Immanuel Quickley (ankle) has been upgraded to available ahead of Sunday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. He entered this game as questionable due to right ankle soreness. Quickley is feeling good enough to play and should have his normal role in the starting five. This season, Quickley is averaging 17.0 points, 6.3 assists, and 4.3 rebounds in 32.6 minutes per game. Fantasy managers should double-check their lineups and make sure Quickley is in there ahead of tip-off.

Davion Mitchell Sun Jan 25 6:20pm

Miami Heat guard Davion Mitchell (shoulder) has been downgraded from doubtful to out ahead of Sunday's game against the Phoenix Suns. This marks the third game in a row that Mitchell has been forced to miss due to a left shoulder injury. Kasparas Jakucionis (face) has started the last two games, but remains questionable for this game with a facial contusion. Dru Smith would likely be asked to take on a significant role if both players are unable to go. Smith finished with six points, five assists, and 10 rebounds during Saturday's game against the Utah Jazz. He's worth a look as a streaming option with the Heat shorthanded at the guard spot right now.

Norman Powell Sun Jan 25 6:20pm

Miami Heat guard Norman Powell (back) has been upgraded to probable ahead of Sunday's game against the Phoenix Suns. Powell has played through back tightness during the last two games. It seems likely that Powell is going to play through the issue once again on Sunday. He finished with 13 points, six assists, and four rebounds in 25 minutes of action during Saturday's game. He's basically a must-start option when healthy. Jaime Jaquez Jr. and Simone Fontecchio would be asked to take on larger roles if Powell is unable to play. Between the two, Jaquez is the better streaming option for Sunday's slate.

Jonathan Kuminga Sun Jan 25 4:00pm

Golden State Warriors forward Jonathan Kuminga (knee) has been diagnosed with a bone bruise in his left knee. Kuminga was forced to make an early exit during Thursday's game. An MRI revealed a bone bruise, so Kuminga is expected to miss more time. His timetable is unknown at the moment, but the Warriors should offer more details in the coming days. The Warriors are likely going to use a committee approach to fill the void in the rotation. Gui Santos, Buddy Hield, and Gary Payton II should all see increased playing time going forward. Hield offers the highest streaming upside at the moment, so fantasy managers should check their waivers to see if he's available.

Norman Powell Sun Jan 25 3:50pm

Miami Heat guard Norman Powell (back) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Phoenix Suns. Powell has played through a back issue during each of the last two games. The expectation is that he'll continue to play through the issue, but fantasy managers will need to check back closer to tip-off. If he gets downgraded, Jaime Jaquez Jr. and Simone Fontecchio would likely both see increased roles in the rotation. Jaquez is the more reliable streaming option between the two players, but fantasy managers will need to check back for another update.

Davion Mitchell Sun Jan 25 3:40pm

Miami Heat guard Davion Mitchell (shoulder) is listed as doubtful ahead of Sunday's game against the Phoenix Suns. Mitchell has missed each of the last two games due to a left shoulder injury. He's trending in the right direction on Sunday, so fantasy managers should prepare to be without him. Kasparas Jakucionis (face) has started in each of the last two games, but is tagged as questionable for this game. The absence of both players would likely mean an increased role for Dru Smith in the rotation. Smith finished with six points, five assists, and 10 rebounds in 26 minutes of action during Saturday's game. He's worth a look as a streaming option with the Heat banged up at the guard spot right now.

Cade Cunningham Sun Jan 25 3:20pm

Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (wrist) is available to play ahead of Sunday's game against the Sacramento Kings. As expected, Cunningham will suit up for this game after being listed as probable on the injury report. He'll operate in his normal spot in the starting five. He sat out of Wednesday's game, but appears to be over the wrist injury now. Daniss Jenkins will see his value take a hit with Cunningham back in the mix. Fantasy managers should get Cunningham active in their lineups.

Caris LeVert Sun Jan 25 3:20pm

Detroit Pistons guard Caris LeVert (illness) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Sacramento Kings. LeVert will miss his third straight game after being listed as doubtful on the injury report. His next chance to play will be Tuesday versus the Denver Nuggets. The absence of LeVert should mean increased roles for Jaden Ivey and Marcus Sasser. Neither guard has great upside right now, but Ivey is the better streaming option between the two with LeVert out.

Zach LaVine Sun Jan 25 9:30am

Sacramento Kings guard/forward Zach LaVine (back) is questionable for Sunday's matchup against Detroit after being added late to the injury report with low back soreness. His status is a key swing factor for Sacramento's rotation. If LaVine sits, Malik Monk would be in line for a sizable usage bump after averaging 18.5 points, 3.5 assists, and 2.0 rebounds over his last four games while shooting 54.0 percent from the field. Dennis Schroder would also see expanded minutes, but remains a volatile, matchup-driven option.

Peyton Watson Sun Jan 25 9:10am

Denver Nuggets forward Peyton Watson (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's matchup in Memphis after sitting out Friday while managing soreness in both ankles. Given how thin Denver is up front, his status has clear fantasy implications. Zeke Nnaji would be the primary beneficiary if Watson remains out after posting 11 points, 12 rebounds, and two blocks in 37 minutes against Milwaukee. Julian Strawther would likely stay in the starting group but remains a fringe option, while Spencer Jones offers volatile, minutes-driven appeal. Watson's outlook is shaky as Denver continues to deal with multiple injuries.

De'Anthony Melton Sun Jan 25 9:10am

Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry (knee) and guard De'Anthony Melton (rest) are both questionable for Sunday's rescheduled matchup in Minnesota, with the Warriors now staring at a Sunday-Monday back-to-back. Curry logged 38 points in his last outing, but could get a maintenance day with knee soreness lingering, while Melton may also be managed after heavy recent usage. Any absence would open extra ball-handling and wing minutes for Brandin Podziemski, Pat Spencer, Gary Payton II, and Will Richard, with Podziemski offering the safest short-term fantasy floor if rotations thin.

Jonas Valanciunas Sun Jan 25 9:00am

Denver Nuggets center Jonas Valanciunas (calf) is questionable for Sunday's matchup in Memphis after sitting out Friday following a brief return from an extended absence. His status bears close watching, as another scratch would suggest ongoing management rather than routine rest. If Valanciunas sits, Zeke Nnaji would step in as the primary frontcourt fill-in after posting 11 points, 12 rebounds, and two blocks in 37 minutes against Milwaukee, making him a viable short-term streamer. DaRon Holmes II could also re-enter the rotation in a limited role. Valanciunas carries a clear risk for fantasy managers, while Nnaji is best viewed as a situational play tied to matchups and minutes.
