Kevin Durant

HOU Forward #7

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Kevin Durant had 26 points (9-of-21 FGs, 6-of-6 FTs), 10 rebounds, four assists, one block and two three-pointers in the Rockets’ 100-97 victory over the Suns on Monday.

With the score tied at 97 and the clock winding down, Durant hit a game-winning three-pointer from the right wing with less than one second left in regulation. It was the kind of clutch shot that Durant has become known for over the course of his career, which will one day be enshrined in the Hall of Fame. He’s still a top fantasy player, providing top-15 per game value over the last two weeks. The Rockets will be back on the floor Wednesday against the Trail Blazers.

Michael Porter

BKN Forward #17

Michael Porter Jr. (knee) is probable for Friday’s game against the Clippers.

Absent from the initial injury report released by the Nets, Porter is considered probable to play on Friday. When MPJ missed Brooklyn’s first two games of 2026, rookie Danny Wolf was moved into the starting lineup. That could be the case if Porter’s status is downgraded on Friday.

Kyshawn George

WAS Forward #18
Kyshawn George (hip) is off the injury report for Friday’s game against the Pelicans.

George is back after missing Washington’s last seven games with a strained left hip flexor. With the Wizards having traded CJ McCollum to the Hawks on Wednesday, they may start George and Tre Johnson together on Friday. Johnson has been Kyshawn’s replacement in the starting lineup.

Gary Payton

GSW Guard #0
Gary Payton II (ankle) is probable for Friday’s game against the Kings.

Payton did not play in Wednesday’s win over the Bucks, which factored into Gui Santos picking up a few additional minutes off the bench. Neither player has been productive enough to affect fantasy basketball this season.

Kawhi Leonard

LAC Forward #2
Kawhi Leonard (ankle) is questionable for Friday’s game against the Nets.

Leonard is dealing with a sprained right ankle, but it was the left foot and ankle that kept him out of the lineup for ten games in November. He hasn’t missed a game since, but Friday’s game is the first of two in as many nights for the Clippers, who visit the Pistons on Saturday. If Leonard sits out the matchup with Brooklyn, Kobe Sanders could be called on to make his second spot start of the week. He scored a career-high 20 in Monday’s win over the Warriors, filling in for James Harden.

Joel Embiid

PHI Center-Forward #21
Joel Embiid (knee) is questionable for Friday’s game against the Magic.

Embiid most recently played 25 minutes in Wednesday’s win over the Wizards, with his playing time being limited since the game was a blowout. Adem Bona and Andre Drummond would handle the available minutes at the center position if Embiid were to miss Friday’s game.

Ben Saraf

BKN Guard #77

Ben Saraf (knee) is out for Friday’s game against the Clippers.

Saraf’s continued absence does not affect fantasy basketball, as he has not played consistent rotation minutes this season.

Brandon Ingram

TOR Forward #3
Brandon Ingram (thumb) is questionable for Friday’s game against the Celtics.

Ingram had to exit Wednesday’s win over the Hornets with a sprained right thumb after 11 minutes. His exit led to more minutes for Ja’Kobe Walter, who logged 19 minutes off the bench. Jamal Shead would also be in line for more playing time if Ingram can’t play on Friday.

Scottie Barnes

TOR Forward-Guard #4

Scottie Barnes (knee) is questionable for Friday’s game against the Celtics.

Barnes injured his right knee during Wednesday’s win over the Hornets but returned after a trip to the locker room. He has been diagnosed with a sprain and is questionable for Friday. If Barnes can’t play, the Raptors will look to Immanuel Quickley and RJ Barrett for more production.

Josh Minott

BOS Forward #8

Josh Minott (ankle) is out for Friday’s game against the Raptors.

Minott will miss a third straight game with a sprained left ankle. His continued absence does not affect fantasy basketball, as the Celtics have relied more on Jordan Walsh and Sam Hauser in recent games.

Trey Murphy

NOP Forward #25
Trey Murphy (back) is questionable for Friday’s game against the Wizards.

One night removed from scoring a career-high 42 points, Murphy did not play in Wednesday’s loss to the Hawks. Karlo Matković moved into the starting lineup, but Bryce McGowens replaced him to begin the second half. Both players will lose out on minutes if Murphy returns on Friday.
