Derik Queen (quad) is questionable for Friday’s game against the Trail Blazers.

Queen, who moved into the Pelicans’ starting lineup in mid-November and has not left, has been diagnosed with a left quad contusion. If he’s able to play on Friday, there will be more minutes available to Yves Missi and Kevon Looney.

Joel Embiid

PHI Center-Forward #21

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Joel Embiid (knee) has been upgraded to probable for Wednesday’s matchup with the Wizards.

Embiid is poised to play his fifth straight game, which is a welcomed surprise for fantasy managers after the big man logged 40 minutes in Monday’s loss to Denver. Embiid finished with 32/10/2 against the Nuggets, and he’ll look to build on that strong performance when he faces Washington.

Trey Murphy

NOP Forward #25
Trey Murphy (back) is questionable for Wednesday’s matchup with the Hawks.

Cade Cunningham

DET Guard #2
Cade Cunningham (wrist) has been downgraded to questionable for Wednesday’s matchup with the Bulls.

Cunningham’s downgraded status suggests he’s in danger of sitting out against Chicago due to a right wrist contusion. His potential absence could mean more playing time for Daniss Jenkins and Marcus Sasser.

Brandon Miller

CHA Forward #24
Brandon Miller (knee) has been downgraded to questionable for Wednesday’s matchup with Toronto.

Miller was listed as probable on Tuesday evening, but he’s now in danger of sitting out against the Raptors. Charlotte is on the first leg of a back-to-back set, and it’s possible the Hornets are giving Miller a maintenance day before facing the Pacers on Thursday. If Miller is out, Sion James and Collin Sexton are candidates to replace him in the starting five.

Tidjane Salaün

CHA Forward #31

Tidjane Salaün (ankle) has been upgraded to probable for Wednesday’s matchup with Toronto.

Salaün has been dealing with an ankle injury, but he’s been able to play through it. That will be the case on Wednesday against the Raptors, and he should be expected to handle his usual allotment of minutes off the bench.

Jamal Murray

DEN Guard #27
Jamal Murray (ankle) and Christian Braun (ankle) have been upgraded to probable for Wednesday’s matchup with the Celtics.

Murray and Braun should be back in action following a one-game absence, which means Jalen Pickett and Bruce Brown should see their minutes reduced against Boston.

Aaron Gordon

DEN Forward #32
Aaron Gordon (hamstring) and Tim Hardaway Jr. (illness management) are probable for Wednesday’s matchup with Boston.

After sitting out Monday’s win over the Sixers, Gordon and Hardaway Jr. are both expected to play. As a result, Spencer Jones and Zeke Nnaji will likely see reduced roles.

James Harden (shoulder) has been upgraded to probable for Wednesday’s matchup with the Knicks.

Harden sat out Monday’s win over Golden State, but he’s expected to return following a one-game absence. Harden’s return should push rookie Kobe Sanders back to the bench after a productive spot start.
