LeBron James

LAL Forward #23

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players
LeBron James (hamstring), Dwyane Wade (ankle) and Mario Chalmers (ankle) will not play against the Knicks on Tuesday.

We warned you about the Heat resting their big guns, and that’s exactly what will happen once again on Tuesday with LeBron and Wade both sitting out. The Heat will rely on Chris Bosh to carry the load, and the team will start Norris Cole, Mike Miller, Udonis Haslem, Rashard Lewis and Bosh against New York.

Bub Carrington

WAS Guard #7

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Bub Carrington started on Friday and contributed 15 points (5-of-11 FGs), three rebounds, six assists, two steals, four three-pointers and five turnovers against the Lakers.

With Tre Johnson (ankle) sidelined for this game, Carrington returned to the starting unit. He was able to remain productive despite some inefficiencies. This was the eighth straight game that he has hit multiple three-pointers, and he has remained a solid source of assists during this stretch. If Johnson remains out against the Kings on Sunday, Carrington should remain productive as a starter once again.

Cade Cunningham

DET Guard #2

Cade Cunningham (hip) is available for Friday’s game against the Warriors.

Cunningham was initially listed as probable with a hip injury, so his availability isn’t a surprise. The 24-year-old point guard had 26 points in Thursday’s loss to the Suns. After dealing with an injury wrist that impacted his scoring, he’s had at least 20 points in three consecutive games. Cunningham and the Pistons finish up a road trip in Golden State Friday.

Will Riley

WAS Forward #27

Will Riley provided a boost off the bench with 13 points (5-of-15 FGs), two rebounds, five assists, four steals and three three-pointers against the Lakers on Friday.

Not much went right for Washington in this game, but Riley was able to have a productive outing. The rookie set new career highs for assists and steals while also matching his career high for triples. He wasn’t efficient, but the 19-year-old has loads of potential, even though he still has a lot of growing to do. Dynasty managers will keep Riley stashed, and he could have a few strong weeks during silly season later this season.

Malaki Branham

WAS Forward #8

Malaki Branham led the Wizards with 17 points (6-of-9 FGs), one rebound and four three-pointers on Friday against the Lakers.

Most of Branham’s points came during garbage time, but he was able to lead Washington in scoring in this game. As has been the case for the entirety of his career, he has the ability to be an electric scorer, but he wasn’t able to contribute much else statistically. The 17 points were a new season high, which was great to see, but he should be left on the waiver wire.

Cody Williams

UTA Forward #5
Cody Williams (illness) will play against the Nets on Friday.

Williams missed Wednesday’s game against Golden State, which allowed Svi Mykhailiuk to slide into the starting lineup in his place. With Williams back, Mykhailiuk should return to playing a role off the bench, which will eliminate the little streaming value he held.

Craig Porter

CLE Guard #9

Craig Porter Jr. (knee) is out for Friday’s game against the Suns.

Porter was initially listed as questionable with a knee injury, but has since been ruled out for Friday’s game against the Suns. With Darius Garland (toe) also out, Porter’s absence impacts the Cavaliers’ depth, though it doesn’t impact fantasy basketball. Lonzo Ball could see more minutes and usage, but isn’t worth rostering in most fantasy leagues.

Jonas Valančiūnas

DEN Center #17

Jonas Valančiūnas (calf) is available for Friday’s game against the Clippers.

Valančiūnas was initially listed as probable with a calf injury, so his availability isn’t a surprise. With Nikola Jokic (knee) returning from injury, though, Valančiūnas will head back to the bench and lose most of his fantasy value.

Jamal Murray

DEN Guard #27

Jamal Murray (hamstring, hip) is available to play against the Clippers on Friday.

Murray was initially listed as probable, so it doesn’t come as a surprise that he’ll suit up. He had 27 points against Brooklyn on Thursday and will look to stay hot against LA in this game.

Nikola Jokić

DEN Center #15
Nikola Jokić (knee) is available for Friday’s game against the Clippers.

Jokić is set to return after being sidelined with a knee injury he suffered in a December 29 loss to the Heat. Nuggets coach David Adelman told reporters the 30-year-old center will start and be on a minutes restriction. Jokić’s return is a welcomed sight for fantasy managers. Jonas Valanciunas will move to the bench and lose most of his fantasy value with the three-time MVP back in the starting lineup.

Maxime Raynaud

SAC Center #42
Dennis Schroder, Zach LaVine, DeMar DeRozan, Precious Achiuwa and Maxime Raynaud will start against the Celtics on Friday.

LaVine returns to the starting unit after coming off the bench on Thursday, which will push Nique Clifford back to the bench. Domantas Sabonis is out on the second night of this back-to-back, which results in Raynaud making his return to the opening unit. This is likely just a one-game nod for Raynaud, but he should have some upside in an increased role.
