Eason will be good to go after initially being listed as questionable for this game. This is a big step for Eason since this will be his first time playing both legs of a back-to-back since 2024. He struggled on Tuesday and will look to get back on track in this one.

Allen is back after a four-game absence, which will help the Suns compensate for Devin Booker (hip) being sidelined. Given the time missed, he may be brought off the bench against the Magic, which may open the door for Jordan Goodwin to make a spot start.

Turner has been dealing with a calf injury since before the All-Star break. The injury has lingered and cost the 29-year-old center Friday’s game against the Pelicans already. Turner’s status is up in the air, though he has a chance to return Sunday given his questionable listing. Ousmane Dieng would start for Turner if he’s out again and is worth streaming under those circumstances.

Suggs was initially listed as questionable with back spasms, but has since been ruled out. With the 24-year-old point guard sidelined and Anthony Black already in the starting lineup, Tristan da Silva should move into the starting lineup and is worth streaming.

Gobert was assessed a Flagrant 1 foul for an “unnecessary flail” during Friday’s win over the Mavericks. The NBA announced Saturday that the foul was upheld and thus Gobert has been suspended one game without pay for accruing his seventh flagrant foul point of the regular season. The 33-year-old center will serve his suspension Sunday against the 76ers. Naz Reid or Joan Beringer could move into the starting lineup in Gobert’s absence. While Reid has fantasy value either way, Beringer is only relevant if he’s starting.

Highsmith signed a multiyear deal with the Suns earlier this week. The 29-year-old hasn’t played at all this season after offseason knee surgery. Highsmith will continue the rehabilitation process for two to three more weeks, at which point he’ll be re-evaluated.

Booker sustained a right hip strain during Thursday’s loss to the Spurs and will miss one week, at which point he’ll be re-evaluated. With Booker sidelined, Jordan Goodwin could move into the starting lineup.

Smith played 18 minutes off the bench in Thursday’s win over the Knicks as he served as Paul Reed’s backup with Jalen Duren and Isaiah Stewart suspended. With Duren’s suspension over now, Smith will likely fall out of the Pistons’ usual rotation.

Anderson will continue to have an increased role with Santi Aldama (knee) out, but only if he’s available himself. The 32-year-old forward is questionable with a knee injury of his own. Anderson is only worth streaming in deeper formats if he’s starting.

Clayton has missed the last three games with a right calf contusion. He at least has a chance to return Saturday given his questionable listing. Cam Spencer and Javon Small could see more minutes if Clayton is out again, though neither are worth streaming in most fantasy leagues.

Coward hurt his knee in the Grizzlies’ last game before the All-Star break and ended up missing Friday’s game against the Jazz with the same injury. The team is holding the 22-year-old guard out again Saturday. Taylor Hendricks started and had nine points and nine rebounds in Coward’s absence Friday.
