1 Michael Carter-Williams PG

Carter-Williams (illness) is available for Saturday's showdown versus the Spurs, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.

It is one of the few games this season where Chris Paul, James Harden, and Eric Gordon (hamstring) will be available, so Carter-Williams will presumably have a hard time finding minutes. Still, he will be available off the bench.

Carter-Williams (illness) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Spurs, Mark Berman of Fox 26 Houston reports.

Carter-Williams sat out Thursday's game against the Thunder due to an illness, which is still giving him enough problems to put his status for Saturday into question. More information on his status may arrive after morning shootaround.

Carter-Williams has an illness and is out for Thursday's matchup against the Thunder, Mark Berman of Fox 26 Houston reports.

Carter-Williams being ruled out over a day in advance suggests the illness is relatively serious. In his stead, Gerald Green and Gary Clark could see extra run.

Carter-Williams had six points (2-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-4 FT), two assists, two steals, one rebound, and one block in 15 minutes during Tuesday's 104-85 loss to the Trail Blazers.

Carter-Williams shared the floor with starting point guard Chris Paul for only a few minutes despite the absence of James Harden (hamstring). Through six appearances this season Carter-Williams isn't earning enough minutes for him to maintain much value outside of deeper leagues.

Carter-Williams will come off the bench Friday against the Clippers, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.

With Chris Paul (suspension) returning to the starting five, Carter-Williams will get pushed back to the bench. He could see minutes in the double-digits considering the Rockets are dealing with injuries, but Carter-Williams is certainly a risky DFS option.
