Michael Porter

BKN Forward #17

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Michael Porter Jr. recorded 24 points (9-of-18 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), 11 rebounds, five assists and one steal over 36 minutes on Sunday, powering the Nets to a 96-81 win over the Raptors.

Porter notched his fifth double-double of the season as he pulled down 11 boards and knocked down four shots from beyond the arc in a low-scoring tractor pull against the sluggish Raptors. The 27-year-old scoring machine is averaging a robust 25.7 points through 23 games this season, delivering third-round value for fantasy purposes. The Nets will face the 76ers on Tuesday in a road tilt before closing out a quick two-game week on Saturday against the Timberwolves.

Jusuf Nurkić

UTA Center #30

Jusuf Nurkić (rest) is not on the injury report for Friday’s game against the Pistons.

Nurkić did not play in Tuesday’s loss to the Grizzlies, so Kyle Filipowski served as the starting center. While he will be asked to come off the bench on Friday, Filipowski is worth holding onto, as he’ll play plenty.

Lauri Markkanen

UTA Forward-Center #23
Lauri Markkanen (groin) is not on the injury report for Friday’s game against the Jazz.

Markkanen is off the injury report after missing Tuesday’s loss to the Grizzlies. His return means that Kevin Love will head to the bench, where he offers little fantasy value. There’s no need to roster Love when he isn’t starting.

Jae'Sean Tate

HOU Forward #8

Jae’Sean Tate (wrist) is available for Thursday’s game against the Lakers.

Tate is good to go after initially being questionable with a left wrist contusion. However, being available does not guarantee that he’ll see any action. Leave Tate on the waiver wire.

Ronald Holland

DET Forward #5
Ron Holland (knee) is questionable for Friday’s game against the Jazz.

Holland did not play in either of Detroit’s last two games, resulting in increased playing time for fellow reserve Javonte Green. While that would remain the case if Holland can’t play on Friday, Green would not be worth the streaming risk.

Herbert Jones

NOP Forward #2
Herb Jones (ankle) is out for Friday’s game against the Suns.

Jones did not play in Tuesday’s loss to the Cavaliers after spraining his right ankle the night prior. As a result, Bryce McGowens moved into the starting lineup and played 30 minutes. If Jordan Poole, who’s questionable for Friday, remains out, McGowens would be worth considering in deep leagues, but that’s it.

Jordan Poole

NOP Guard #3
Jordan Poole (ankle) is questionable for Friday’s game against the Suns.

Poole did not play in Tuesday’s loss to the Cavaliers, with his absence leading to Jordan Hawkins and Micah Peavy playing rotation minutes. That may remain the case on Friday, as the Pelicans will still be without Herb Jones (ankle). Neither Hawkins nor Peavy is worth the risk in most redraft leagues.

Grayson Allen

PHX Guard #8
Grayson Allen (knee) is out for Friday’s game against the Pelicans.

Friday’s game will be the fourth that Allen has missed due to right knee injury management. Royce O’Neale has moved into the starting lineup, and he’s worth streaming for those needed three-pointers and steals. However, fantasy managers should look for Collin Gillespie first.

Alperen Sengun

HOU Center #28
Amen Thompson, Kevin Durant, Tari Eason, Jabari Smith Jr. and Alperen Şengün will start Thursday’s game against the Lakers.

Şengün is good to go after initially being listed as questionable with tightness in his left calf. The lone change to the starting lineup is Eason, who replaces Josh Okogie. Whether this holds or not, now is the time to add Eason in standard leagues if he’s still sitting on your league’s waiver wire.

Anthony Davis

DAL Forward-Center #3
Anthony Davis (groin) will not return to Thursday’s game against the Warriors.

Davis pulled up lame during the second quarter and was substituted immediately. According to the Mavericks, he has been diagnosed with right groin spasms and will not return. Max Christie replaced Davis in the lineup to begin the third quarter, and Dallas will run a Cooper Flagg-heavy offense as they look to come back.

Vince Williams

MEM Guard #5

Vince Williams Jr. (knee) is out for Friday’s game against the Bucks.

Due to left patellar tendinitis, Williams will miss fourth straight game. With Ja Morant (ankle) also out, the Grizzlies have turned to Cam Spencer to run the point. Spencer should be rostered even if Morant plays on Friday.
