Juke Harris - Big day as Wake falls short Harris logged 25 points (8-21 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 6-7 FT), 11 rebounds and three assists across 39 minutes during Saturday's 88-80 loss to Louisville.

Impact A 31-point effort last week against NC State combined with Saturday's big showing has raised Harris' scoring average up to 21.1 ppg, good for third in the ACC entering Sunday's slate of games. The sophomore is one of the most improved players in the country, as he was a reserve who saw just 19 minutes per game last year, and now he's the team's top all-around player. It was also his third double-double of the season and first of conference play.

Mekhi Mason - Off injury report Mason (undisclosed) is available Saturday against NC State.

Impact Mason is good to go Saturday after missing the Jan. 27 loss to Pitt. The senior guard, who's come off the bench since Dec. 6, averages 4.2 points and 1.7 rebounds since being removed from the starting five.

Myles Colvin - Scores 18 points Tuesday Colvin finished with 18 points (4-14 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 9-10 FT), four rebounds, one assist and one steal in 42 minutes during Tuesday's 80-76 OT loss to Pittsburgh.

Impact Colvin didn't have his best performance in Tuesday's loss to Pittsburgh, as he struggled badly with his shot, but his contributions from the charity stripe were key to him delivering a solid scoring line. Colvin has been playing well of late and has scored at least 15 points in three of his last four games, so fantasy managers wouldn't be bothered by his lack of efficiency as long as he keeps producing at this rate.

JANUARY 29 • ROTOWIRE

Nate Calmese - Sidelined indefinitely Calmese suffered a Grade 3 right ankle sprain and will be out indefinitely, Conor O'Neill of Rivals.com reports.

Impact Calmese is set to miss considerable time after suffering a severe ankle sprain in the loss to Pitt on Tuesday. The fourth-year guard is averaging 10.4 points, 4.9 assists, two rebounds and 1.4 steals per game while shooting at a career-best clip from downtown. Sebastian Akins is the likeliest candidate to replace Calmese in the starting lineup for the foreseeable future.

Men's College Basketball Top 10, Bubble Team NET Rankings: U-M No Longer No. 1

Mekhi Mason - Doesn't play Tuesday Mason (undisclosed) didn't play in Tuesday's 80-76 loss to Pittsburgh.

Impact Mason's absence was surprising, as he wasn't on the injury report prior to the game. At best, the senior should be considered questionable to face NC State on Saturday. Mason is averaging 7.2 points, 3.2 rebounds and 1.2 assists per game in 20 outings (nine starts) this season.

JANUARY 27 • ROTOWIRE

Nate Calmese - Doesn't return Calmese (ankle) did not return after sustaining an injury in the first half ot Tuesday's overtime loss to Pitt.

Impact Calmese's day ended after just 10 minutes played, as the starting guard turned his ankle in the first half. Injury specifics are unclear at this point, but his next chance to play will come Saturday against NC State. He logged 10 points (4-5 FG, 2-3 3Pt) and one rebound before departing Tuesday.

JANUARY 27 • ROTOWIRE

Nate Calmese - Turns ankle against Pitt Calmese (ankle) went back to the locker room late in the first half of Tuesday's game against Pittsburgh, Cam Lemons of 247sports reports.

Impact Calmese landed on a teammate's foot and rolled his ankle in the closing minutes of the first half and hobbled back to the locker room. The starting point guard is averaging 10.4 points and 5.2 assists per game this season, so his absence is a significant blow to the Demon Deacons' offense.

Can Wake Forest Turn Things Around and Right the Ship in Pittsburgh? The Demon Deacons look to bounce back after a couple losses

Juke Harris - Extends sizzling stretch Harris registered 23 points (6-12 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 6-7 FT), two rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals over 38 minutes during Saturday's 90-69 loss to Duke.

Impact Harris has been Wake Forest's best player by a wide margin in recent games, and the numbers back that up. He's posted at least 20 points in four of his last five outings, a stretch in which he's averaging 24.2 points, 5.0 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 2.2 steals per contest.

Cooper Schwieger - Seeing extended run Schwieger posted four points (2-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt), two rebounds and one assist across 24 minutes during Tuesday's 91-79 loss to SMU.

Impact Schwieger has started three of the last four games while frontcourt running mate Omaha Biliew has been working through a foot injury, but it hasn't been enough to make much of a fantasy impact. Schwieger has averaged just 5.8 ppg over that four-game stretch, his rebounding numbers have declined, and his best outing -- a season-high nine points against North Carolina on Jan. 10 -- came in the one game of that run when Biliew was given the start. In other words, there's not much fantasy value in the Wake Forest frontcourt outside of perhaps Tre'Von Spillers (11.5 ppg, 5.7 rpg).

JANUARY 21 • ROTOWIRE

Omaha Biliew - Hasn't returned to pre-injury form Biliew logged four points (1-6 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and one steal in 21 minutes during Tuesday's 91-79 loss to SMU.

Impact Biliew hasn't been quite the same since suffering a foot injury in early-January. The junior forward wasn't necessarily a major offensive factor early in the year, but but he did record a double-double with a season-high 18 points to begin ACC play. Since the injury came to light, however, he's recorded a total of just six points in four games. That includes a start last Saturday against Florida State in which he was held scoreless in just four minutes of play. Biliew saw more run off the bench Tuesday but struggled with his shot. Backup Cooper Schwieger hasn't exactly been much of an improvement, though, so the door is open for Biliew to regain his previous role. A tough matchup Saturday at Duke awaits.

JANUARY 21 • ROTOWIRE

Myles Colvin - Experiencing breakout season Colvin ended Tuesday's 91-79 loss to SMU with 17 points (6-12 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal across 26 minutes.

Impact After starting the season in a reserve role, Colvin entered the starting five back on Dec. 6 and hasn't looked back. Through 10 games as a starter, the junior Purdue transfer has averaged 13.7 points, 5.8 rebounds and 2.3 steals, planting him firmly on the fantasy radar. He's also been more efficient in a starting capacity, shooting 51.1 percent from the field and 39.6 percent from distance over that stretch. While Colvin's individual stock has risen tremendously, he and the Demon Deacons have a tough road matchup ahead Saturday against Duke.

JANUARY 21 • ROTOWIRE

Juke Harris - Fills stat sheet admirably Harris supplied 27 points (10-17 FG, 5-7 3Pt, 2-5 FT), six rebounds, three assists, two blocks and three steals over 38 minutes during Tuesday's 91-79 loss to SMU.

Impact Even though Wake Forest lost by 12 points, Harris delivered an impressive stat line after notching at least two tallies in each of the five major categories. The sophomore forward has been one of the best players in the ACC this month, averaging 22.6 points, 5.6 rebounds, 1.2 assists, 2.0 steals and 0.6 blocks per game in five January contests.
