All Player News

Mark Williams

CHA Center #5

Mark Williams (low back contusion) is questionable to play against Toronto on Friday.

Williams missed Wednesday’s game, which allowed Nick Richards to start at center. He played 28 minutes and contributed six points, 11 rebounds and three blocks. If Williams remains out, Richards should be able to provide some boards and swats, but he can’t be relied on for much else. PJ Washington would also continue to fill in as the team’s backup center.
Trae Young

ATL Point Guard #11

Trae Young (illness) is questionable to play against the 76ers on Friday.

Young played well against the Nets on Wednesday, but now there is a chance that he has to sit out on Friday. If he has to miss this game, Dejounte Murray will take the reins as the reins as the team’s point guard, with Bogdan Bogdanovic sliding into the starting unit. That could allow AJ Griffin to return to the rotation, but Griffin, Wesley Matthews and Garrison Mathews won’t play enough to provide any real fantasy value.
Kristaps Porzingis

BOS Power Forward #8

Kristaps Porzingis (left calf strain) is probable for Friday’s game against New York.

Porzingis was expected to return for Thursday’s In-Season Tournament game if they won on Monday, so it isn’t surprising that he should be back in the lineup on Friday. That will push Al Horford to the bench and prevent him from continuing to provide top-40 value, like he has the past two weeks.
Grant Williams

DAL Small Forward #3

Grant Williams (right knee soreness) will remain sidelined for Friday’s game against Portland.

With Williams out during Wednesday’s blowout win over the Jazz, Dante Exum started in his place and posted a 5/6/7/2 line with a triple in 26 minutes. He may have seen more minutes if the score wasn’t so lopsided, so he should be a solid option on Friday as a streamer.
R.J. Hampton

MIA Point Guard #4

R.J. Hampton (right knee sprain) is not on the injury report for Friday’s game against Cleveland.

Hampton hasn’t been part of the team’s rotation even when he’s healthy. His return to the lineup shouldn’t have an impact on their rotation.
Duncan Robinson

MIA Shooting Guard #55

Duncan Robinson (left groin strain) is probable to play against Cleveland on Friday.

Robinson should continue to start despite the minor ailment. He has done an excellent job and provided and has provided top-75 value over the past week. He’ll look to keep that up and provide plenty of 3-pointers against the Cavs.
Bam Adebayo

MIA Center #13

Bam Adebayo (left hip contusion), Tyler Herro (right ankle sprain) and Haywood Highsmith (lower back contusion) have all been ruled out for Friday’s game against the Cavaliers.

Herro has been sidelined for weeks, and Adebayo and Highsmith have joined him over the last couple of games. Orlando Robinson and Caleb Martin should continue to start and be excellent streaming options after both recorded double-doubles on Wednesday.
Jalen Suggs

ORL Point Guard #4

Jalen Suggs (right ankle strain) and Jonathan Isaac (right ankle sprain) are questionable to play on Friday against the Pistons.

Suggs exited early from Wednesday’s game, but there is a chance that he is back on Friday, which is a better timeline than initially expected. Cole Anthony ended up posting a 19/7/2/1/2 line in 32 minutes, while Gary Harris played 31 minutes. Harris started the second half, but Anthony is the better fantasy option. If Isaac is back, Caleb Houstan will be dropped from the rotation, but neither player is a great fantasy option in such a limited role.
Alex Caruso

CHI Shooting Guard #6

Alex Caruso (let toe strain) and Torrey Craig (left knee soreness) are probable to play on Friday against the Spurs.

Both players played on Wednesday and should be available once again on Friday. Caruso played 30 minutes as a starter, while Craig played 17 minutes off the bench. Only Caruso will be worth starting in fantasy hoops, as Craig only provides value as a starter.
Keegan Murray

SAC Small Forward #13

Keegan Murray (lower back soreness) was a full participant in Thursday’s practice.

Keegan didn’t practice on Wednesday, but he was able to on Thursday. He exited briefly from their game against the Pelicans on Monday, but he was able to finish that one out. The Kings should give an official update on his status Thursday evening, but he shoould be considered questionable until then. While it seems likely that he will be able to play, Chris Duarte would likely move back into the starting unit if Murray is out.
