Nicolas Batum

LAC Small Forward #33

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players
Nicolas Batum (groin) and Patty Mills (illness) will miss Sunday’s game against the Warriors.

Batum’s absence impacts the Clippers’ rotation for Sunday’s game more. His absence means additional playing time for Derrick Jones Jr., but “Airplane Mode” is not worth the risk in most active fantasy leagues. Mills has not played consistent rotation minutes this season. Depending on Sunday’s results, the Clippers can finish anywhere fourth, fifth or seventh in the Western Conference standings.

Isaiah Hartenstein

OKC Center-Forward #55

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players
Isaiah Hartenstein (calf) is not listed on the injury report ahead of Saturday’s game against the Spurs.

The Thunder will get their starting center back ahead of Saturday’s NBA Cup Semifinals matchup with the Spurs. While OKC has remained successful in Hartenstein’s absence, the defending champions will welcome him back as they may face Victor Wembanyama, who is likely to return from injury. Hartenstein is averaging 12.2 points, 10.7 rebounds and 3.4 assists across 19 games.

Isaiah Joe

OKC Guard #11
Isaiah Joe (knee) is out for Saturday’s game against the Spurs.

Saturday’s NBA Cup semifinal will be the third game Joe has missed due to a left knee contusion. With everyone else of consequence available for the Thunder, his minutes will be absorbed by Cason Wallace, Ajay Mitchell and Aaron Wiggins.

Lauri Markkanen

UTA Forward-Center #23
Lauri Markkanen, Svi Mykhailiuk, Jusuf Nurkic, Ace Bailey and Keyonte George will start against the Grizzlies on Friday.

Markkanen is back in Utah’s starting lineup after an illness kept him out for the team’s recent loss to the Thunder. His return will give the Jazz an elite three-level scorer at the forward position and the team’s leader in points per game. Kyle Filipowski will head back to the bench to help Utah’s depth.

Santi Aldama

MEM Forward-Center #7
Ja Morant, Cedric Coward, Jaylen Wells, Jaren Jackson Jr. and Santi Aldama will start Friday’s game against the Jazz.

While Morant’s return from a strained calf is the most significant change to the Grizzlies’ starting lineup, it isn’t the only one. While Jock Landale has been the preferred choice in the past, Aldama will step in to fill the void left by the injured Zach Edey (ankle). Edey will be out for at least four weeks, so there’s still time for Landale to slide into the lineup. But this decision bodes well for Aldama’s fantasy value, which is capped when he comes off the bench.

Colin Castleton

ORL Center #14

Colin Castleton (thumb) is out for Saturday’s game against the Knicks.

Castleton is dealing with a fractured left thumb, so he isn’t going to be available for quite some time. And with the 6-foot-10 center being on a two-way contract, his availability does not affect fantasy basketball or the Magic rotation.

Pacôme Dadiet

NYK Forward #4

Pacôme Dadiet (ankle) is questionable for Saturday’s game against the Magic.

Dadiet’s availability does not affect the Knicks’ rotation or fantasy basketball. He should only be considered in dynasty leagues at this stage of his career.

Austin Reaves

LAL Guard #15
Austin Reaves (calf) will be re-evaluated in one week.

Reaves has been diagnosed with a mild left calf strain and will be re-evaluated in one week. His absence significantly affects fantasy basketball and the Lakers’ rotation, creating an opening in the team’s starting lineup. Marcus Smart and Gabe Vincent are candidates to fill the void, with the former being the more likely choice due to what he brings to the table defensively. Reaves’ absence also means increased usage for Luka Dončić and LeBron James.

Tobias Harris

DET Forward #12
Tobias Harris, Jalen Duren, Cade Cunningham, Duncan Robinson and Ausar Thompson will start Friday against the Hawks.

Harris will make his return to the starting lineup after being out for a week with an ankle injury. His return gives the Pistons their opening-night starting unit, which will move Isaiah Stewart back to a reserve role to bolster Detroit’s bench. The Pistons have won four of their past five games and currently sit atop the Eastern Conference standings with a 19-5 record.

D'Angelo Russell

DAL Guard #5

D’Angelo Russell (illness) is out for Friday’s game against the Nets.

Added to the Mavericks’ injury report on Friday afternoon, Russell will not be available for the matchup with the Nets. His absence does not change much from a fantasy standpoint, as Ryan Nembhard and Brandon Williams were ahead of D’Lo in the pecking order.

Daniel Gafford

DAL Forward-Center #21
Daniel Gafford (ankle) is out for Friday’s game against the Nets.

Gafford will miss a third straight game with a lingering right ankle injury. The absence of him and Dereck Lively II means that Dwight Powell will be part of the rotation, serving mainly as Anthony Davis’ backup. There’s no need to consider adding Powell with a healthy AD in the fold.
