Russell Westbrook rises in the rankings after finally signing… with the Sacramento Kings. Westbrook joins a backcourt where Dennis Schroder was the presumptive starting point guard, and regardless who starts it is likely both will play significant minutes. Westbrook has positive history with many of his new teammates, including Schroder, and is now solidified as a top-100 fantasy prospect in points leagues. Schroder takes a very small hit to his projections, since he may lose a few minutes to Westbrook.

Keegan Murray will miss the next 4-6 weeks with a torn UCL ligament in his left thumb. If those estimates hold true, he would miss between 12 and 19 games before he could return.

Ace Bailey is experiencing knee tendinitis in both knees. He may miss some time in the preseason, though it isn't clear whether this issue will officially impact his regular season availability. Nevertheless, as a rookie with a lot of unknowns at this level, this news caused me to drop his projected games played slightly which brings him down a bit in the rankings.
