Bennedict Mathurin

IND Guard-Forward #00

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players
Bennedict Mathurin (thumb) is questionable for Monday’s game against the Hawks.

Mathurin is dealing with a right thumb sprain as well as a toe injury. The 23-year-old small forward hasn’t played since January 2, but has a chance to return Monday against the Hawks. Fantasy managers should be aware that the Pacers and Hawks tipoff at 1:00 P.M. eastern time. If Mathurin is out again, Johnny Furphy should remain in the starting lineup.

Nae'Qwan Tomlin

CLE Forward #35

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

The Cavaliers are converting Nae’Qwan Tomlin to a standard contract.

Signed to a two-way contract in March, Tomlin played well enough this season to earn a standard contract. The Cavaliers got that done shortly after the trade deadline, ensuring that the athletic forward will be eligible for the postseason. In 41 games, Tomlin has averaged 6.6 points and 3.1 rebounds in 17.2 minutes. While ensuring that he’s available for the rest of the season helps Cleveland’s depth, it doesn’t affect fantasy basketball.

Xavier Tillman

CHA Forward #26

ESPN’s Shams Charania reports that the Celtics have traded Xavier Tillman Sr. and $3.5 million to the Hornets.

The goal of this transaction was for the Celtics to get out of the luxury tax. Tillman was out of the Celtics’ rotation for most of this season, averaging 7.9 minutes per game in 14 appearances. His fantasy outlook won’t change in Charlotte.

Tyler Herro

MIA Guard #14
Tyler Herro (ribs) is out for Friday’s game against the Celtics.

Herro has been out since January 15, which is the last time the Heat faced the Celtics. The guard has not been given a timeline by team doctors, and given the time Herro has already missed, fantasy managers should consider him week-to-week. Pelle Larsson has been the replacement in the starting lineup, and he’s worth considering as a deep-league streamer.

Andrew Wiggins

MIA Forward #22

Andrew Wiggins (hamstring) is available for Friday’s game against the Celtics.

Wiggins is good to go after missing Tuesday’s loss to the Hawks with left hamstring tightness. He’ll occupy his usual place in the Heat starting lineup on Friday, with Simone Fontecchio heading back to the bench.

Norman Powell

MIA Guard #24
Norman Powell (personal) is off the injury report for Friday’s game against the Celtics.

Powell has rejoined the Heat after missing the last three games for personal reasons. With Andrew Wiggins (hamstring) also available, Myron Gardner and Simone Fontecchio will be headed back to the bench. Of the two, Fontecchio’s path to maintaining some semblance of fantasy relevance is more straightforward.

Coby White

CHA Guard
Coby White (calf) will be sidelined through the All-Star break.

White was Charlotte’s big addition at the trade deadline, but they’ll wait at least four more games before he debuts to avoid any further issues with the calf that has given him trouble all season. Sion James and Josh Green should see a temporary boost in minutes until White debuts.

Patrick Baldwin

PHI Forward #23

76ers signed Patrick Baldwin Jr. to a 10-day contract.

The 28th overall pick of the 2022 draft, Baldwin has failed to establish himself in the NBA. He was most recently on a 10-day deal with the Clippers in mid-January. His signing is more about the 76ers being able to use the remaining days of Dominick Barlow’s two-way contract. There’s no need to consider adding Baldwin in fantasy leagues.

OG Anunoby

NYK Forward-Guard #8

OG Anunoby (toe) is probable to play against the Pistons on Friday.

Anunoby is managing soreness in his right toe, but it isn’t expected to keep him out of the lineup against Detroit. He is averaging 21.7 points, 5.4 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 2.0 steals and 3.1 triples while shooting 58.6 percent over the Knicks’ last seven games and will look to stay hot in this one.

Josh Hart

NYK Guard #3
Josh Hart (ankle) is questionable to play against the Pistons on Friday.

Hart missed Wednesday’s game against Denver, which allowed Jordan Clarkson to start in his place. Clarkson scored 11 points in 24 minutes while Landry Shamet scored 16 points in 36 minutes off the bench. The duo will continue to play significant roles if Hart remains out for another game.

Karl-Anthony Towns

NYK Center-Forward #32
Karl-Anthony Towns (eye) is questionable to play against the Pistons on Friday.

Towns has only missed three games this season, but he may not be available against Detroit. In that scenario, Mitchell Robinson will start at center, with Ariel Hukporti filling out the reserve minutes down low as the Knicks look to win a ninth straight game.
