Noah Locke - Louisville-Kentucky postponed Locke and Louisville won't play Kentucky on Wednesday after the Cardinals announced Monday that all team activities have been paused due to multiple positive COVID-19 tests among i...

Impact Louisville hasn't postponed any games beyond Wednesday, so the Cardinals could return to action as soon as their subsequent contest Dec. 29 versus Wake Forest. Locke seemingly isn't among the infected individuals, as the Florida transfer has appeared in 11 of the Cardinals' games to date while averaging 10.5 points, 2.5 rebounds, 2.3 triples and 0.9 assists.

Mason Faulkner - Scores 12 points once again Faulkner recorded 12 points (3-8 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT) and three assists over 23 minutes during Saturday's 82-72 loss to Western Kentucky.

Impact Faulkner delivered 12 points for the second game in a row and also surpassed the 20-minute mark for the second straight contest, meaning he has been delivering value when given enough on-court time. Faulkner is averaging just 4.7 points per game, though, so his fantasy upside just isn't very high right now.

Noah Locke - Puts up 20 points in loss Locke chipped in 20 points (8-18 FG, 4-13 3Pt), four rebounds and three assists in 28 minutes during Saturday's 82-72 loss to Western Kentucky.

Impact Locke had scored 18 points combined over his previous four appearances, but he came out of nowhere to match his season-best scoring output. He wasn't effective, though, as he needed 18 shots to record his 20-point mark while also missing nine of his 13 three-point attempts. The inconsistency has hampered him at times, but Locke is still averaging 10.5 points per game.

Malik Williams - No current timeline for return Head coach Chris Mack said after Saturday's loss to Western Kentucky that he does not know how long Williams (COVID-19) will be out for, Matt McGavic of Sport Illustrated reports.

Impact Williams was placed into the team's COVID protocol ahead of Saturday's meeting against the Hilltoppers and appears set to miss multiple games. Williams will likely have to test out of protocols and there's no way of knowing when he will be able to successfully do that. Jae'Lyn Withers got the start in his absence and figures to remain in the first five until Williams is back.

Jae'Lyn Withers - Starting Saturday Withers is in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against Western Kentucky.

Impact Withers will re-enter the starting lineup after coming off the bench the last two games after Malik Williams was placed in the team's health and safety protocol earlier Saturday. The 6-8 sophomore started the first eight games of the year, averaging seven points and 5.6 rebounds in 21 minutes per contest. He'll have an opportunity to remain in the starting five for the time being while Williams is sidelined.

Malik Williams - Unavailable Saturday Williams was placed into the team's COVID protocol and will not be available for Saturday's game against Western Kentucky, Matt McGavic of Sport Illustrated reports.

Impact Williams is slated to miss his first game of the season after being placed in the team's health and safety protocols. The fifth-year big man has been on a nice stretch lately, averaging 13.3 points and 9.7 rebounds in 25.9 minutes over his last seven games. Jae'Lyn Withers figures to re-enter the starting rotation while Williams is held out.

El Ellis - Excellent shooting performance Ellis logged 13 points (4-5 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), two rebounds and one steal across 19 minutes during Tuesday's 86-60 win over Southeastern Louisiana.

Impact Ellis was extremely efficient from the field and only missed one shot and one free throw en route to his highest scoring output of the campaign. His recent performances have been on the rise, and the former JUCO standout has now scored in double digits in three of his last four appearances.

Mason Faulkner - Efficient performance in win Faulkner amassed 12 points (5-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt), three rebounds and three assists in 22 minutes during Tuesday's 86-60 win over Southeastern Louisiana.

Impact Louisville cruised to victory in this one and that allowed some role players to see significant minutes, and Faulkner was one of the names that took advantage of that situation. The 12-point output was a season-best mark for him, but considering this was just the first time he scored in double digits, he might not be able to put up these scoring figures on a regular basis.

Impact Williams led the Cardinals in scoring and registered his best output of the campaign, but he also scored in double digits for the fourth straight contest. The senior is now averaging 10.4 points per game on the year.
