NBA odds: Championship futures for every team after Kevin Durant's injury
With Kevin Durant suffering an injury, the race for the NBA title is wide open. Let's take a look at the futures odds for every team.JANUARY 21, 2022
Ziaire Williams - Scores 10 points in lossWilliams closed Wednesday's 126-114 loss to the Bucks with 10 points (4-11 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 1-1 FT), one rebound, one assist and one steal across 33 minutes.
ImpactWilliams has started seven of the Grizzlies' last eight contests and is averaging 9.1 points, 1.4 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 25.7 minutes as a starter. Kyle Anderson and Desmond Bane are currently both in COVID-19 protocols, so despite the lack of robust production, the rookie first-round pick will likely still garner 20-to-30 minutes per game until the aforementioned players are able to return to the team.

Jaren Jackson Jr. - Scores season-high 29 pointsJackson finished with 29 points (9-20 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 9-10 FT), nine rebounds, one assist and four blocks across 31 minutes during Wednesday's 126-114 loss to the Bucks.
ImpactJackson scored a season-high 29 points and fell just one rebound shy of his fourth double-double of the season. He also blocked multiple shots for the seventh time in his last eight games and is averaging 3.9 blocks per contest during that stretch. On the season, the talented big man is averaging 16.4 points, 5.7 rebounds, 2.2 blocks and 1.0 steals in 27.5 minutes.

John Konchar - Decent output in starting roleKonchar registered six points (3-8 FG, 0-4 3Pt), seven rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal in 32 minutes during Wednesday's 126-114 loss to the Bucks.
ImpactKonchar drew his third start of the season Wednesday, stepping in at shooting guard in place of Desmond Bane (COVID-19 protocols). As usual, the 25-year-old saw limited usage on offense, but he made solid contributions throughout the box score. He'll likely stick in the starting five for the duration of Bane's absence and should have short-term value in 12-team leagues for fantasy managers looking for aid in the rebounds, three-pointers, steals and blocks categories.

Ja Morant - Explodes for monster double-doubleMorant finished Wednesday's 126-114 loss to Milwaukee with 33 points (12-27 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 5-5 FT), eight rebounds and 14 assists over 39 minutes.
ImpactMorant scored 30-plus points for the first time since Jan. 3 and dished out a season-high 14 assists en route to his fifth double-double of the season. Over his last 12 games, the star point guard is averaging 27.2 points, 6.9 assists and 6.2 rebounds in 33.2 minutes. He'll look to continue his strong play during a weekend roadtrip that features the Nuggets on Friday and the Mavericks on Sunday.

Jrue Holiday - Solid performance in returnHoliday accumulated nine points (2-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds, four assists and one steal over 22 minutes during Wednesday's 126-114 victory over the Grizzlies.
ImpactHoliday came off the bench during his return from a six-game absence due to left ankle soreness and put together a solid line in limited time. He wasn't overly aggressive during the contest and finished in single digits for just the third time this season. Fantasy managers can expect him to get back to his season averages (18.1 points, 6.6 assists, 4.6 rebounds) when he eventually returns to the starting lineup, which will likely be Friday against the Bulls.
