Bruno Fernando

TOR Center #24

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Bruno Fernando (toe) is questionable for Sunday’s game against the Hawks.

It seems like most of the Raptors’ roster is questionable entering Sunday’s game. Fernando would be in line to start if Jakob Poeltl (ankle), who is also questionable, were to miss the game. Alas, Fernando is questionable himself, though his availability doesn’t impact fantasy basketball much at all.

Joel Embiid

PHI Center-Forward #21

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players
Joel Embiid (knee) is available for Thursday’s game against the Lakers.

Embiid is available after the 76ers listed him as questionable on the initial injury report. He’ll take on his usual starting center duties, with Adem Bona slotting in as the backup. As has been the case on most nights when all three are available, Andre Drummond may be the odd man out.

Dominick Barlow

PHI Forward #25

The 76ers have signed Dominick Barlow to a standard contract.

Barlow has been a revelation for the 76ers this season, playing well enough to earn a place in the starting lineup at the beginning of the season. With Paul George suspended for 25 games, Barlow has returned to the starting lineup. Converting him to a standard deal, which includes a team option for the 2026-27 season, ensures that Barlow is eligible to play in Thursday’s game against the Lakers.

De'Anthony Melton

GSW Guard #8

De’Anthony Melton (knee) is available for Thursday’s game against the Suns.

Melton is good to go after initially being questionable with a sore left knee. With Stephen Curry (knee) still out and Buddy Hield no longer in the picture, Melton boasts a higher fantasy ceiling despite coming off the bench.

Kristaps Porziņģis

GSW Forward-Center

Kristaps Porziņǵis (Achilles) is not expected to make his Warriors’ debut until Monday against the Grizzlies.

Acquired from the Hawks in exchange for Jonathan Kuminga and Buddy Hield, Porziņǵis missed time due to Achilles tendinitis before the trade. While he will join his new teammates in Los Angeles on Friday ahead of Saturday’s game against the Lakers, the 7-foot-2 forward/center is not expected to play until Monday’s home game against the Grizzlies.

Jalen Duren

DET Center #0
Jalen Duren (knee) will not return to Thursday’s game against the Wizards.

Duren looked like a shell of himself in the 13 first-half minutes he played, and with good reason. The first-time All-Star has since been ruled out for the rest of the night with a sore right knee, finishing with four points and three rebounds. Ron Holland replaced Duren in the lineup to begin the second half.

Domantas Sabonis

SAC Forward-Center #11
Domantas Sabonis (back) is questionable for Friday’s game against the Clippers.

Sabonis is back on the injury report, having last missed Sunday’s loss to the Wizards. While the veteran center was excellent in Wednesday’s loss to the Grizzlies, fantasy managers should begin planning for Sabonis to get nights off with the Kings headed for the draft lottery. If Sabonis doesn’t play, Maxime Raynaud would move into the starting lineup, with Dylan Cardwell also picking up additional minutes.

Harrison Barnes

SAS Forward #40
De’Aaron Fox, Devin Vassell, Julian Champagnie, Harrison Barnes and Victor Wembanyama will start Thursday’s game against the Mavericks.

While Stephon Castle (adductor) is available for Thursday’s game, he’ll come off the bench, given that this is San Antonio’s second game in as many nights. Barnes returns to the starting lineup, but he has offered limited fantasy value in that role.

Scotty Pippen

MEM Guard #1

Scotty Pippen Jr. (toe) is questionable for Friday’s game against the Trail Blazers.

With the questionable tag, this is the closest that Pippen has been to making his season debut. Ty Jerome (calf), who has been limited to 20 minutes, is out for Friday’s game, so Pippen can slot into that role if he’s allowed to play.

Ty Jerome

MEM Guard-Forward #2
Ty Jerome (calf) is out for Friday’s game against the Trail Blazers.

Friday’s game is the first of two in as many nights for the Grizzlies, so Jerome was bound to miss one of them, given how long he was out with a strained calf. Scotty Pippen Jr. (toe) could be available to make his season debut, and he would absorb the minutes that would have gone to Jerome. Regardless of what happens with Pippen, Cam Spencer is available and should play enough to merit rostering in deep leagues.

Santi Aldama

MEM Forward-Center #7
Santi Aldama (knee) is out for Friday’s game against the Trail Blazers.

Friday’s game is the first of two in as many nights between the Grizzlies and Trail Blazers. Given the time he’s missed with a right knee issue, Aldama sitting out one of the games was expected. Due to the players traded, Memphis will be light on frontcourt options on Friday. Look for GG Jackson and Olivier-Maxence Prosper to play plenty.
