Ajay Mitchell

OKC Guard #25

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Ajay Mitchell, Cason Wallace, Jalen Williams, Jaylin Williams and Chet Holmgren will start Sunday’s game against the Jazz.

Mitchell is the lone change to the lineup that began Friday’s win over the Mavericks, replacing Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. He and Wallace have added value as starters, while Jaylin Williams is only worth a look in deep leagues.

Tobias Harris

DET Forward #12

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players
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.

Victor Wembanyama

SAS Forward-Center #1
Spurs head coach Mitch Johnson said on Friday that Victor Wembanyama (calf) will be subbed earlier than usual and play fewer minutes in Saturday’s game against the Thunder.

Saturday’s NBA Cup semifinal will be Wembanyama’s first game since November 14, and the Spurs will not take any chances with his health. He’ll be restricted in two ways: the Spurs will sub him out earlier than usual, resulting in shorter stints on the court, and his overall playing time will decrease. Luke Kornet will shift back into his usual backup center role, but his ceiling may be slightly higher than usual due to the restrictions the team is imposing on Wembanyama.

Joel Embiid

PHI Center-Forward #21

Joel Embiid (knee) is available to play on Friday against the Pacers.

Embiid is active and set to make his second straight appearance for the Sixers. Philadelphia has been off since December 7, when it lost 112-108 to the Lakers in a game in which Embiid logged 30 minutes for just the second time this season. He’s averaging 18.2 points and 5.6 rebounds per game thus far. Fantasy managers are hoping the former MVP can stay healthy enough to start to see an increased workload and eventually increased production.

Isaac Okoro

CHI Forward-Guard #35
Coby White, Josh Giddey, Isaac Okoro, Matas Buzelis and Nikola Vučević will start Friday’s game against the Hornets.

Okoro is back and will make his first appearance in a game since November 21. While his return means that Ayo Dosunmu will head back to the bench, Okoro will be restricted to 20 minutes. Those who have Dosunmu on their fantasy rosters should hold onto him for that reason.

Quentin Grimes

PHI Guard #5

Quentin Grimes, VJ Edgecombe, Paul George, Dominick Barlow and Joel Embiid will start Friday’s game against the Pacers.

While the 76ers welcome back Embiid, they’ll be without Tyrese Maxey, as he is out with an illness. Grimes moves into the starting lineup, with the move also meaning that Edgecombe will have the ball in his hands more as a primary playmaker. Both players now boast higher fantasy ceilings.

Zach Collins

CHI Forward-Center #12

Zach Collins (wrist) is available for Friday’s game against the Hornets.

Collins was initially probable for Friday’s game, so the upgrade in status is unsurprising. However, with Jalen Smith (hamstring) also available, neither player is likely to get the minutes needed to affect fantasy basketball.

Ja Morant

MEM Guard #12
Ja Morant (calf) is available for Friday’s game against the Jazz.

Morant is officially available after missing ten games with a strained calf. His return affects Vince Williams Jr. and Cam Spencer the most, with the former heading back to the bench. Grizzlies head coach Tuomas Iisalo did not reveal a minutes restriction when he announced that Morant was available. Still, fantasy managers should anticipate the point guard not taking on his usual workload on Friday.

Kam Jones

IND Guard #7

Kam Jones (back) is available for Friday’s game against the 76ers.

Jones, who has been out since early in the preseason with a lower back stress reaction, is officially available to make his NBA debut. Given the amount of time missed, the second-round pick out of Marquette will likely be under a minutes restriction. Jones won’t affect fantasy basketball now, but he may have “silly season” value if the Pacers can’t bounce back from their slow start.
