Earl Watson (calf) will not play on Monday. He sustained a left calf contusion on Friday and has been out of practice. Watson isn't very durable at age 34 and he'll serve as emergency depth for Portland this season.

Earl Watson left Friday's practice with a left calf contusion. Watson will be the team's third point guard as long as Mo Williams is healthy, and we have no reason to believe the injury is serious at this time.

Earl Watson agreed to a deal with the Trail Blazers on Saturday. Watson has known Blazers GM Neil Olshey since he was 17 years old, which influenced his decision, but it's also an ideal situation -- the elder statesman can play limited minutes in a backup role, while dispensing invaluable advice to Damian Lillard, C.J. McCollum, Allen Crabbe, Victor Claver, and the rest of the Blazers' young roster.

The Knicks have reportedly "checked in" on free agent PG Earl Watson. The Knicks are in the market for a backup point guard behind starter Raymond Felton. They've been linked to Will Bynum as well. Watson would only receive the veteran minimum.

Earl Watson will start at point guard against the Celtics on Monday. Tinsley's minutes have been on the decline and he logged just 14 minutes against the Clippers on Saturday. Meanwhile, Watson's minutes have held steady and he's played between 22 and 24 minutes in each of his last five games. Watson has made one 3-pointer since January 9, so there's really no need to pick him up in almost any format.

Earl Watson (knee) had four points, five assists and one steal in 22 minutes as he returned from a four-game absence against the Kings. The veteran backup also picked up five fouls and there's no reason to touch him in standard fantasy leagues -- he's averaging 2.0 points and 4.2 assists in 18 minutes per game this season.

Earl Watson (leg) is available to face the Bulls on Friday. There are still some questions about whether or not he'll play since the Jazz have a back-to-back with Saturday's game. Alec Burks has been playing well and Watson shouldn't be in any lineups.

Earl Watson (leg) will be a game-time decision on Friday. Watson did not play on Wednesday despite being a game-time decision, and with a non-displaced fracture in his leg, we're considering him very questionable on Friday. Even if he's active, we wouldn't be surprised to see Alec Burks' run at point guard continue.

Earl Watson (leg) will not play against the Bucks on Wednesday. He was listed as a game-time decision for the game and he will dress. Watson's non-displaced fracture must not be too bad and he could return in the coming games. Alec Burks has been much better lately and he is worth a look in deeper leagues.

Earl Watson (leg) has ben upgraded to a game-time decision for Wednesday's game against the Bucks. Watson has a non-displaced fracture in his right leg, so it's pretty curious that he's a game-time decision on Wednesday. We don't expect him to play, but if he does, he could eat into the value of Alec Burks.
