Caris LeVert Questionable Against Bucks On Monday
Fantasy Basketball
Caris LeVert's status for Monday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks is up in the air.
The Indiana Pacers guard suffered a right foot sprain in Saturday's preseason win over the New York Knicks and did not participate in Sunday's practice.
LeVert is averaging 14.3 points, 4.3 rebounds and 4.0 assists in three preseason games.
What does this mean for fantasy owners?
If LeVert is unable to play on Monday, it would be a big blow to the Pacers' offense.
He is one of their best playmakers and scorers, and his absence would force other players to step up.
Fantasy owners who have LeVert on their roster should keep an eye on his status and be prepared to make a roster move if necessary.
Who could benefit from LeVert's absence?
If LeVert is unable to play on Monday, it would likely mean more minutes for TJ McConnell and Buddy Hield.
McConnell is a good passer and defender, while Hield is a dangerous scorer.
Both players could see their fantasy value increase if LeVert is out.
