Caleb Houstan

ATL Guard #33

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

ESPN’s Shams Charania reports that the Hawks have signed Caleb Houstan to a contract for the rest of the season.

Houstan has played well for the Hawks’ G League affiliate, and the two-way player has been rewarded with a standard deal for the rest of the 2025-26 campaign. He’s logged 4.9 minutes per game across 10 outings for the parent club, and fantasy managers shouldn’t expect a major boost in production. He can remain on the waiver wire.

Luka Dončić

LAL Forward-Guard #77

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players
Luka Dončić (hamstring) and Deandre Ayton (knee) are available for Friday’s matchup with the Clippers.

Dončić and Ayton missed time before the All-Star break, but both players will be available against the cross-town rivals. Expect each of them to handle their typical workloads which will mean fewer minutes for Jake LaRavia, Rui Hachimura and Jaxson Hayes.

Bryce McGowens

NOP Guard #11

According to ESPN’s Shams Charania, Bryce McGowens has signed a new three-year deal with the Pelicans.

The fourth-year man has taken on an increased role with New Orleans, averaging 9.3 points, 2.7 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.0 triples across 27.1 minutes in 11 starts. He should see increased run until Trey Murphy (shoulder) returns, and McGowens should earn extra minutes any time Zion Williamson is sidelined.

Sidy Cissoko

POR Guard #91

ESPN’s Shams Charania reports that the Trail Blazers have signed Sidy Cissoko to a two-year deal.

Cissoko played all of the allowable games on his two-way deal, but he’ll get a standard deal to stay with the Blazers for two more years. Multiple injuries have given Cissoko the opportunity to play regular rotation minutes for Portland, and he’s done well with that opportunity.

Ziaire Williams

BKN Forward #1
Ziaire Williams (personal) is out for Friday’s matchup with the Thunder.

Williams’ absence isn’t particularly notable, given his limited production this season. His vacated minutes should be absorbed in some combination by Danny Wolf and Drake Powell.

Nic Claxton

BKN Center #33
Nic Claxton (ankle) is out for Friday’s matchup with the Thunder.

Claxton’s streak of absences will extend to three, and it’s unclear when he’ll return. Until Claxton is back, Day’Ron Sharpe makes an excellent streaming option.

Grant Williams

CHA Forward #2
Grant Williams (rest) is out for Friday’s matchup with the Cavaliers.

Williams had a strong outing on Thursday as a starter, but he’ll get the night off for rest on the second leg of Charlotte’s back-to-back set. Miles Bridges is still suspended, which should mean increased playing time for Tidjane Salaün. Salaün logged 20 minutes in Thursday’s loss to Houston.

Coby White

CHA Guard #3
Coby White (calf) is out for Friday’s matchup with the Cavaliers.

White hasn’t appeared in a game for Charlotte since being traded in early February, and fantasy managers will have to wait at least one more game for that debut. Tre Mann and Sion James will continue to handle backcourt responsibilities off the bench until White is back in action.

Evan Mobley

CLE Center #4
Evan Mobley (calf) is out for Friday’s matchup with the Hornets.

Mobley logged 19 minutes on Thursday, returning to the court after nearly a month on the shelf. It’s not surprising that he’ll sit out the second leg of Cleveland’s back-to-back set due to left calf injury management. Mobley’s absence should mean additional run for Jaylon Tyson, who warrants streaming consideration in most fantasy leagues.

Tyler Herro

MIA Guard #14
Tyler Herro (ribs) is available for Friday’s matchup with the Hawks.

Herro will return to Miami’s lineup after more than a month on the sideline, and he’ll surely see a minutes restriction in his first game back. Pelle Larsson could see his role reduced, and he’s not someone to hold in most fantasy leagues.

Keshad Johnson

MIA Forward #16

Keshad Johnson (calf) is available for Friday’s matchup with Atlanta.

Johnson will get the all-clear against the Hawks, but he’s been out of Miami’s rotation this season, so his availability isn’t meaningful for fantasy hoops managers.
