Ryan McDonough in as new Phoenix Suns GM

Ryan McDonough, formerly an assistant GM with the Celtics, has been hired as GM of the Suns.

With previous reports indicating McDonough was the favorite, we're not very surprised. McDonough will have his work cut out for him in the desert, and radio host John Gambadoro reported that the new general manager is very unlikely to keep current head coach Lindsey Hunter on the sidelines. It's a smart hire by the Suns. McDonough will be officially introduced on Thursday.

Aaron Gordon (sore ankle) questionable vs. BK

Aaron Gordon (sore left ankle) is questionable to face the Nets on Friday.

We didn't notice him go to the locker room, he played 34 minutes, and he played the final six minutes of Wednesday's game. Hopefully, he'll wake up and feel better tomorrow because he would get a dream matchup against the Nets defense. He didn't shoot the ball well in the first game on Wednesday, but he was aggressive and most signs point to a big year coming.

Andre Iguodala, Omri Casspi questionable Fri

Andre Iguodala (back) and Omri Casspi (ankle) are questionable to play against the Pelicans on Friday.

Iguodala revealed he hurt his back in the weight room, but he did go through practice on Wednesday. Even if Casspi, Iggy and Draymond Green (knee) can't go, the Warriors still have enough depth and it's not like they're worried about their 0-1 start. If they are missing those guys, it should be more Nick Young, Pat McCaw and Jordan Bell.

Jamal Murray won job for fit with starters

Coach Mike Malone said Jamal Murray won the starting job because of how he fits with the starters.

"It wasn't so much that Jamal blew everybody out of the water," Malone added. It was a quiet night for Murray with just eight points, two boards, two assists and two 3-pointers in 20 minutes, and perhaps the worse part is how much Gary Harris handled the ball. In fact. Malone used a backcourt combo with Harris and Will Barton for a whopping 11 minutes, so that's something to watch. This game was against the Jazz and Murray fits this potent offense very well, so his fantasy owners should give him a fairly long leash.

Zach Collins (illness) probable for Friday

Zach Collins (illness) is probable to play against the Pacers on Friday.

With Al-Farouq Aminu playing 100 percent of his minutes at power forward and Caleb Swanigan not playing next to Jusuf Nurkic at all on Wednesday, we'll likely have a position battle on our hands for the backup four. Coach Terry Stotts said Collins should play the all power forward, so it'll likely be Biggie or Collins getting a rotation spot.

Caris LeVert talks about growth with D'Angelo

Caris LeVert said growing with D'Angelo Russell will be important for the them, the team and the organization.

Sadly, the two will have to grow together more than anticipated because of the sad news on Jeremy Lin. In the last five minutes on Wednesday, coach Kenny Atkinson only used one lineup: Russell, Caris LeVert, Allen Crabbe, DeMarre Carroll and Trevor Booker. While it's unclear who will get the starting job, both LeVert and Crabbe are expected to get more minutes and should be owned in standard leagues.

SVG didn't have a game plan regarding Boban

Coach Stan Van Gundy said he didn't go into Wednesday's game with a plan on using Eric Moreland over Boban Marjanovic.

In case you missed it, Boban was a DNP-CD against the Hornets while Moreland logged 12 minutes. Maybe it was because Dwight Howard played well against Boban in the preseason or maybe it's because SVG was scared to use him in pick-and-roll sets. For what it's worth, Kemba Walker leads all NBA players in pick-and-roll possessions including passes (Synergy), so clearly the Hornets were leaning on that play. Whatever the case, this is a big blow to Boban supporters and he'll be dropped all over the place with another DNP-CD on Friday. It's against the Knicks, so that would be even worse.

Jarell Martin likely starter for J-Myke Green

Jarell Martin is likely going to start for JaMychal Green (ankle).

It makes sense after Martin started the second half for the injured Martin. While starting should help Martin get minutes, perhaps the more interesting stat output should come from Brandan Wright. On top of the backup center minutes, Wright played 8.1 minutes next to Marc Gasol on Wednesday. If you're looking to make an add, Wright's per-minute output makes him a better add than Martin.

If Dray can't go, Jordan Bell likely to start

If Draymond Green (knee) can't play against the Pelicans on Friday, Jordan Bell is likely going to start.

What a difference 20 days makes. Back on Sept. 29, coach Steve Kerr said Bell would not be in the rotation to start the year. However, he was the first big off the bench on Tuesday, so now Kerr's "modern-day five" is likely to start across from Anthony Davis. Bell said he'll be looking to pass more as a four man, and he's also previously mentioned his motto is "WWDD" for "What would Draymond do?" Bell is only a speculative pickup for now, but seeing how he performs against AD and Boogie Cousins will be must-see TV for rookie-obbessed fans.

Draymond Green (knee) doubtful for Friday

Draymond Green (knee) is doubtful to play against the Pelicans on Friday.

The good news here is Green's MRI came back clean. Although, he is possibly going to miss multiple games due to this knee strain, but he did travel on the three-game road trip to New Orleans, Memphis and Dallas. If Green can't go, the Warriors are expected to start Jordan Bell, who was surprisingly the first big off the bench on Tuesday. Expect to see more minutes go to Nick Young, Pat McCaw and maybe Andre Iguodala.

Myles Turner (neck) questionable Friday

Myles Turner (sore neck) is questionable to play against the Blazers on Friday.

He looked fine in the game and after the game he talked a lot about leadership -- with a lot of neck movement -- so perhaps he just woke up with stiffness. For now, it does appear to be minor and we'd be surprised to see him not suit up. The Pacers were ridiculously fast with their incredible 130 offensive possessions on Wednesday, which helps explain why Turner busted out for 21 points, 14 boards and four blocks. He has a legit shot to be a first-round player this year.

Kyle Kuzma set to play minutes at SF and PF

Kyle Kuzma will play minutes at small forward and power forward to start the season.

This is an expected move for the Lakers and he could even be the first man off the bench. If Luke Walton does keep a short bench, Kuzma could get minutes in the upper 20s out of the gate. He's worth owning in standard leagues and could be a nice DFS play today.
