Dylan Grant - In starting five Grant (illness) is in the starting lineup for Thursday's game versus Illinois, Jerry Carino of the Asbury Park Press reports.

Impact Grant has apparently been a bit under the weather but is well enough to start in Thursday's road tilt. Grant's minutes will certainly be something to monitor until he's fully past his illness. He's a crucial piece to Rutgers pulling off the upset, averaging 13.8 points and 5.5 rebounds per contest.

Dylan Grant - Dressed and warming up Grant (undisclosed) is dressed and warming up ahead of Thursday's game at Illinois, Will Carmenaty of WRSU Sports reports.

Impact Grant, who is officially listed as questionable for Thursday's contest, is dressed and warming up ahead of the contest. It does not guarantee his availability, but it's certainly a good sign for his chances to suit up. He's averaging 13.8 points and 5.5 rebounds this season so his availability is very important for the Scarlet Knights.

Dylan Grant - Lands on injury report Grant (undisclosed) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game at Illinois.

Impact Grant will be a game-time decision for the Scarlet Knights' away contest as he deals with an unknown injury. The 6-foot-8 forward's status should be determined prior to tip-off. He's averaging 13.8 points and 5.5 rebounds on 25.9 minutes per game this season.

Last Night in College Basketball: Michigan State Downs USC For Tom Izzo's 750th W

Harun Zrno - Slump continues in narrow win Zrno recorded eight points (2-7 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds and one steal over 24 minutes during Monday's 88-85 OT win over Oregon.

Impact Rutgers squeezed past Oregon for an exciting overtime victory, but Zrno's cold streak continued. He was just 2-of-7 from the field, and over his lat four games, he's shooting just 18.5 percent from the floor. He also pulled down four boards Monday night, but if the freshman guard wants to hang onto his starting role, he'll need to find his shooting stroke.

Kaden Powers - Three points in first start Powers closed with three points (1-6 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 0-1 FT), three rebounds and one assist in 17 minutes during Monday's 88-85 OT win over Oregon.

Impact Powers notched his first career start, and indeed, he looked like a true freshman. The guard went 1-of-6 from the floor and was limited as a contributor elsewhere. It'll be interesting to see how head coach Steve Pikiell uses him moving forward.

JANUARY 6 • ROTOWIRE

Dylan Grant - Quiet outing in exciting win Grant contributed six points (0-4 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 6-6 FT) and one rebound in 17 minutes during Monday's 88-85 OT win over Oregon.

Impact Grant's six points were still surely crucial in a narrow three-point overtime victory, but it matched his lowest scoring output of the season. The starting center didn't hit a shot from the floor but managed to get to the charity stripe and was perfect from the free-throw line, somewhat salvaging his day box score-wise. The sophomore forward is still having a great season, averaging 13.5 points and 5.5 rebounds, so this looks like something of an outlier.

Darren Buchanan Jr. - Good outing off the bench Buchanan finished Monday's 88-85 OT victory over Oregon with 13 points (6-7 FG, 1-1 3Pt), three rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal across 30 minutes.

Impact Buchanan contributed in all facets of the game, drained his lone three-pointer and hit 6-of-7 shots from the field. That's about all you can ask for a bench wing such as the junior Buchanan, and he played a pivotal role in helping Rutgers defend its home court and knock off the Ducks. He's been streaky production-wise this season, so he remains hard to trust as a fantasy manager, however.

JANUARY 6 • ROTOWIRE

Tariq Francis - Erupts for 30-piece Francis posted 30 points (10-16 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 10-11 FT), four rebounds and four assists across 30 minutes during Monday's 88-85 OT victory over Oregon.

Impact Francis now has two 30-point outings in his last four games. Shockingly, being sent to the bench has apparently unleashed a new version of the guard, one who's averaging 25.0 points per game since relegated to the bench. He's also been much more involved in the offense over that span, averaging nearly 15 shots per game. Francis is worth keeping an eye on, as he appears to be developing into one of the better sixth men in the conference.
