Derik Queen

NOP Center #22

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Derik Queen amassed 19 points (7-of-12 FGs, 5-of-6 FTs), 11 rebounds, six assists, two steals and one blocked shot in Monday’s win over the Mavericks.

The Pelicans have won five straight, and Queen has recorded a double-double in three consecutive games. Much to the delight of those who have him rostered, the rookie’s fantasy value has not been negatively affected by the returns of Zion Williamson and Jordan Poole. The Pelicans are still running a lot of offense through Queen, and he’s been up to the task. Over the last two weeks, he has been a fourth-round player in eight-cat formats.

Goga Bitadze

ORL Center-Forward #35

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players
Goga Bitadze (knee) is out for Friday’s game against the Hornets.

Bitadze will miss a second straight game as he deals with a strained left knee. Jonathan Isaac should once again slot in as Wendell Carter Jr.'s backup, a role in which he’s unlikely to reach 20 minutes. Isaac can be left on the waiver wire.

Tristan da Silva

ORL Forward #23
Tristan da Silva (shoulder) is available to play against the Hornets on Friday.

After initially being listed as probable, da Silva has been cleared to return from a four-game absence. Rookies Noah Penda and Jase Richardson took on extra minutes with da Silva sidelined, but both will lose the little streaming value they held with da Silva back.

Jalen Suggs

ORL Guard #4
Jalen Suggs (hip) has been ruled out against the Hornets on Friday.

Suggs was initially listed as doubtful, so his absence doesn’t come as a surprise. Tyus Jones should continue to start in his place, where he has provided decent value. Anthony Black, who has been starting in place of Franz Wagner, should also continue to see a bump in production.

Robert Williams

POR Center-Forward #35
Robert Williams (knee) is probable to play against the Clippers on Friday.

Williams was initially questionable for this game but is now expected to play after missing Tuesday’s game, which was the second of a back-to-back. Williams will continue fill out the reserve center minutes behind Donovan Clingan, which will reduce Duop Reath’s minutes.

Kris Murray

POR Forward #24

Kris Murray (neck) is probable to play against the Clippers on Friday.

Murray was initially questionable for this game but is now expected to suit up. He will continue to fill in as a starter in place of Jerami Grant, who is set to miss a fourth straight game with left Achilles tendonitis.

Miles McBride

NYK Guard #2
Miles McBride (ankle) is questionable to play against the Hawks on Saturday.

McBride has been sidelined since Dec. 7 but could make his return against Atlanta. Josh Hart (ankle) has been ruled out, so McBride could take on extended minutes in his first game back. Jordan Clarkson and Tyler Kolek could lose minutes if McBride returns, though both have played well recently.

Josh Hart

NYK Guard #3
Josh Hart (ankle) has been ruled out against the Hawks on Saturday.

Hart exited early from Thursday’s game against Cleveland, and he will remain sidelined for at least one more game. Tyler Kolek, who has been excellent recently, was part of the closing lineup and could start against Atlanta. Miles McBride (ankle) is questionable and could take on extra minutes if he returns.

Gary Trent

MIL Guard #5
Gary Trent Jr. (calf) has been ruled out against the Grizzlies on Friday.

Trent exited early on Tuesday, and after initially being listed as questionable, he will remain sidelined against Memphis. Ryan Rollins played 33 minutes off the bench in Milwaukee’s last game and has been excellent as a reserve recently, but he could return to the starting lineup with Trent sidelined.

Dominick Barlow

PHI Forward #25
Dominick Barlow (illness) is questionable to play against the Bulls on Friday.

Barlow is expected to suit up after initially being listed as questionable for this game. He missed Tuesday’s game, which allowed Jabari Walker to start in his place. With Barlow expected back, Walker will head back to the bench and lose the limited streaming appeal he had.

Quentin Grimes

PHI Guard #5
Quentin Grimes (illness) is probable to play against the Bulls on Friday.

Grimes is expected to suit up after missing Tuesday’s game against Brooklyn. Justin Edwards and Eric Gordon took on larger roles with Grimes unavailable, but they’ll both likely be pushed back out of the rotation with Grimes expected back.
