Karl-Anthony Towns

NYK Center-Forward #32

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players
Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) is probable for Friday’s game against the 76ers.

Towns got the night of Thursday against the Pacers, the Knicks’ first game since winning the NBA Cup on Tuesday. The 30-year-old center appears poised to make his return Friday against the 76ers given his probable listing. Ariel Hukporti, who started and played 27 minutes Thursday, will head back to the bench.

Jerami Grant

POR Forward #9

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players
Jerami Grant (Achilles) is out for Saturday’s game against the Kings.

Initially questionable, Grant’s absence will open up a spot in the Trail Blazers’ starting lineup. Kris Murray and Sidy Cissoko are potential replacements in the starting lineup. While neither qualifies as a must-stream player, Murray offers a slightly higher offensive ceiling.

Duncan Robinson

DET Forward #55

Duncan Robinson (knee) is available for Saturday’s game against the Hornets.

Robinson exited Thursday’s loss to the Mavericks during the third quarter with a left knee contusion. He won’t have to miss any additional game time and will be in his usual spot in the Pistons’ starting lineup.

Tony Bradley

IND Center-Forward #13

Tony Bradley (thumb) is available for Saturday’s game against the Pelicans.

Bradley is officially available for Saturday’s game despite fracturing the tip of his right thumb. He’ll play with a protective splint on the digit, but Bradley is unlikely to get the run needed to affect fantasy basketball. Jay Huff and Isaiah Jackson remain ahead of him in the pecking order.

Joel Embiid

PHI Center-Forward #21
Joel Embiid (illness) is out for Saturday’s game against the Mavericks.

No surprise here as Embiid was initially listed as doubtful with an illness. The 31-year-old center will miss a second game in row Saturday against the Mavericks. Andre Drummond had 14 points and 13 rebounds in Friday’s win over the Knicks and remains a great streaming option whenever Embiid is out.

Klay Thompson

DAL Guard #31

Klay Thompson (knee) is available for Saturday’s game against the 76ers.

Thompson is dealing with a sore left knee, but he’s healthy enough to play. He’s played between 19 and 21 minutes in his last three appearances; fantasy managers should expect the same on Saturday. The playing time has not been enough to make Thompson a player worth holding onto in standard redraft leagues.

Jaylen Brown

BOS Guard-Forward #7
Jaylen Brown (illness) is out for Saturday’s game against the Raptors.

No surprise here as Brown was initially listed as doubtful with an illness. In the 29-year-old small forward’s absence, Sam Hauser is the primary beneficiary for fantasy purposes. Josh Minott and Baylor Scheierman could also see extra minutes off the bench.

Anthony Davis

DAL Forward-Center #3

Anthony Davis (illness) is available for Saturday’s game against the 76ers.

Davis was initially probable for Saturday’s game, so the status upgrade is unsurprising. He’ll occupy his usual place in the starting lineup. Make sure he’s in your active lineups before tipoff.

RJ Barrett

TOR Forward-Guard #9
RJ Barrett (knee) has resumed on-court activities as he progresses in his recovery.

Barrett has missed Toronto’s last 12 games and does not have a concrete return timeline. However, he’s progressing in his recovery, and the plan is to have the forward scrimmage live with the Raptors coaches in the coming days. If all goes well, the next step would be for him to rejoin practice. Ochai Agbaji has moved into the starting lineup and should retain that role for the foreseeable future, with Jamal Shead picking up additional minutes off the bench.

Jakob Poeltl

TOR Center #19

Jakob Poeltl (back) is out for Saturday’s game against the Celtics.

Poeltl is set to miss his second game in a row with a back injury. The Raptors don’t believe the injury is serious. It’s likely that Poeltl could be available for the Raptors’ second game of a back-to-back on Sunday against the Nets. Sandro Mamukelashvili will start in his absence with Collin Murray-Boyles coming off the bench.

Jalen Smith

CHI Forward-Center #25

Jalen Smith (quad) is probable for Sunday’s game against the Hawks.

Smith played 15 minutes off the bench in Friday’s win over the Cavaliers, and he’ll be in line for a similar workload if he can play on Wednesday. If he can’t go, the available minutes will likely be absorbed by Nikola Vučević and Zach Collins.
