  • Player Notes
    Walker Kessler Thu Jan 16 10:20pm

    Utah Jazz center Walker Kessler (rest) won't play on Friday in New Orleans. The 2022 No. 22 overall pick didn't suit up for Sunday's narrow win over the Brooklyn Nets for the same reason, opening the door for Drew Eubanks to get the start and finish with eight points, nine boards, and three blocks. With John Collins (hip) and Micah Potter (illness) also ruled out for Friday's contest, Eubanks is in line for another start, giving him streaming potential for fantasy managers. He'll also be an enticing DFS value option, even if he comes off the bench.

    Lauri Markkanen Thu Jan 16 10:20pm

    Utah Jazz forward Lauri Markkanen (back) won't play on Friday in New Orleans. He'll now miss his third-straight game because of back spasms. With Walker Kessler (rest), John Collins (hip), and Jordan Clarkson (foot) also ruled out, the Jazz will presumably get most of their production from Collin Sexton, Keyonte George, and Brice Sensabaugh. Cody Williams will likely remain in the starting lineup. However, he's averaged just 4.8 points in 10 starts during the 2024-25 campaign, so he doesn't have much upside for fantasy managers.

    Brandon Miller Thu Jan 16 9:50pm

    Charlotte Hornets forward Brandon Miller (wrist) is questionable heading into Friday's game against the Chicago Bulls. The 22-year-old had 20 points, five boards, three steals, and one block in Wednesday's victory over the Utah Jazz. But he's uncertain to suit up on Friday because of a wrist sprain. Miller has already missed 10 games this season, so fantasy managers are keeping their fingers crossed regarding his availability versus the Bulls. If Miller Isn't out there, Seth Curry, averaging 10.6 points and shooting 45.9% from deep in eight starts this season, will likely fill the void in the lineup, making him an appealing value option for DFS managers.

    Mark Williams Thu Jan 16 9:50pm

    Charlotte Hornets center Mark Williams (knee) is probable for Friday's matchup with the Bulls. The 22-year-old missed the first 20 games of the 2024-25 campaign because of various ailments. However, he's only missed two games since his return. Not only that, but Williams is having the best year of his career, averaging 14.2 points, 8.6 rebounds, and 2.1 assists. Of course, anything can happen regarding his availability. But with Nick Richards now in Phoenix, Taj Gibson, averaging only 3.1 points and 4.3 rebounds in eight starts this season, will likely take over at the five if Williams can't suit up.

    Goga Bitadze Thu Jan 16 9:40pm

    Orlando Magic center Goga Bitadze (concussion protocol) won't play on Friday night against Boston. He exited Sunday's win over the Philadelphia 76ers because of a hip contusion and was kept off the floor for Wednesday's matchup with the Milwaukee Bucks. However, head coach Jamahl Mosley indicated Bitadze had "some late symptoms," so the team will monitor him. Without him, Wendell Carter Jr., amassing 12 points, 10 boards, and two steals versus Milwaukee, will likely handle things in the middle once again, with Jonathan Isaac coming in for relief. With that said, the Celtics are one of the best defensive teams in the National Basketball Association, meaning both players could have issues producing on Friday night.

    Jeff Green Thu Jan 16 9:00pm

    Houston Rockets forward Jeff Green will move into the starting five ahead of Thursday's game against the Sacramento Kings. The veteran forward will shift into the starting unit with Fred VanVleet (personal) unavailable for this game. The absence of Vanvleet means that Amen Thompson will likely take over as the primary ball handler. Green hasn't seen a consistent role in the rotation this season, but he did play 20 minutes during their last contest. He doesn't really bring enough to the table at this point in his career to be considered a reliable fantasy option.

    Deni Avdija Thu Jan 16 8:50pm

    Portland Trail Blazers forward Deni Avdija (ankle) has been downgraded to out ahead of Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. This marks the second game in a row that Avdija has been forced to miss due to an ankle issue. The Blazers are shorthanded at the forward spot with Jerami Grant (face) also on the sideline. That means, Toumani Camara and Scoot Henderson should see extended playing time on Thursday. Henderson finished with 39 points during his last outing, but the young guard is known for being inconsistent. The fact he should see heavy playing time will likely give him more fantasy appeal for Thursday's slate.

    Tari Eason Thu Jan 16 8:50pm

    Houston Rockets forward Tari Eason (leg) has been upgraded to available ahead of Thursday's game against the Sacramento Kings. Eason has missed over a month of action due to a lower leg injury. He will finally return on Thursday, but will unsurprisingly be on a minutes limit for this game. Before the injury, Eason was averaging 11.3 points, 6.3 rebounds, and 1.0 assists in 22 minutes per game. When healthy, Eason is a solid contributor, but he won't be an ideal option on Thursday. Head coach Ime Udoka said Eason will play around 20-25 minutes. He could be worth plugging in for season-long formats, but isn't a reliable DFS option for Thursday's slate.

    Cameron Johnson Thu Jan 16 8:40pm

    Brooklyn Nets forward Cameron Johnson (ankle) is listed as questionable ahead of Friday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. Johnson sat out of Wednesday's contest, which was the second leg of a back-to-back set. He recently returned from a right ankle sprain, so his absence was likely rest related. The hope is that Johnson will be back in the mix for Friday's game. When healthy, Johnson has been a reliable fantasy contributor with 20 points scored or more in each of the last three games he's played in. Noah Clowney figures to see reduced playing time if Johnson is unable to go. Clowney has been an inconsistent fantasy option this season.

    Robert Williams Thu Jan 16 8:40pm

    Portland Trail Blazers center Robert Williams III (illness) has been upgraded to available ahead of Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. This is a bit of a surprise considering Williams was originally considered doubtful to suit up. Now, Williams will be back in the mix after missing each of the last three games due to an illness. Williams figures to serve as the primary backup to Deandre Ayton. That being said, Williams is likely only going to see minutes in the teens which isn't going to make him a viable fantasy option.

    Ja Morant Thu Jan 16 7:40pm

    Memphis Grizzlies point guard Ja Morant (foot) has picked up a questionable tag ahead of Friday's contest against San Antonio. He's nursing right foot soreness. It doesn't sound like a serious issue, but Morant might have to drop out of the lineup after playing in each of the past four contests. This would allow Scotty Pippen Jr. to move back to the first unit. Pippen Jr. has been solid but unspectacular as a starter this season, averaging 13.9 points, 4.1 rebounds, 5.4 assists, and 1.6 steals.

    Kyrie Irving Thu Jan 16 7:20pm

    Dallas Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving (back) has been labeled as questionable for Friday's clash against Oklahoma City. Irving returned from a back injury on Tuesday against Denver, but he was once again out when the team finished off a back-to-back set versus New Orleans on Wednesday. Irving struggled significantly on Tuesday, finishing with 11 points on 4-for-18 shooting, so he might indeed need a bit more time off. Spencer Dinwiddie should make another start if Irving is out again. The veteran guard notched 20 points on Wednesday and contributed three steals on the defensive end. Dinwiddie has performed well as a starter throughout the campaign, averaging 16.3 points, 4.3 rebounds, 5.7 assists, and 1.3 steals.

    Jamal Murray Thu Jan 16 7:10pm

    Denver Nuggets point guard Jamal Murray (knee) is probable for Friday's game against Miami. He's a mainstay on the injury report with a knee issue, but Murray has been in the lineup for 13 consecutive contests. Last time out, he notched 22 points with red-hot 4-for-5 shooting from deep in 30 minutes against Houston. Scoring also came easily for Murray in this season's first matchup against the Heat, as he totaled 28 points with a 9-for-17 effort from the field in a 135-122 win on Nov. 8.

    Aaron Gordon Thu Jan 16 7:10pm

    Denver Nuggets forward Aaron Gordon (calf) is considered questionable for Friday's 2023 NBA Finals rematch against Miami. Gordon recently returned from a calf injury, but he was kept off the court as the Nuggets completed a back-to-back on Wednesday night against Houston. Peyton Watson will have additional fantasy value if Gordon remains out on Friday. Watson averages 2.0 blocks per game for the month and has scored 10-plus points in three of the last four games, making him a solid two-way contributor for fantasy managers.

    Nikola Jokic Thu Jan 16 7:00pm

    Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (elbow) is questionable for Friday's contest against Miami. The Serbian superstar is dealing with an elbow sprain and may have to sit out a second consecutive game. DeAndre Jordan jumped into the starting lineup with Jokic out on Wednesday versus Houston. He recorded eight rebounds, three blocks, and one steal without attempting a single field goal in 23 minutes. Providing cover for the center position off the bench, Dario Saric finished with eight points, four rebounds, and five assists in 19 minutes. The two will likely see additional action again on Friday if Jokic remains out.

    Donte DiVincenzo Thu Jan 16 6:50pm

    Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Donte DiVincenzo (toe) will not be available for Friday's matchup against the Knicks. Friday night should have marked DiVincenzo's return to Madison Square Garden, but he has sprained his left big toe, which will keep the 27-year-old sidelined for at least one game. The Timberwolves have three games scheduled over the next four days, so DiVincenzo could miss out on a fair bit of action if he doesn't shake off the injury quickly. With DiVincenzo out, we will likely see Mike Conley back in the starting unit. More work should also be available for Nickeil Alexander-Walker.

    Ty Jerome Thu Jan 16 6:50pm

    Cleveland Cavaliers guard Ty Jerome (illness) will be in the lineup against Oklahoma City on Thursday. He has missed two games due to an illness, but Cleveland has upgraded Jerome from questionable to available. The 27-year-old has been a valuable bench contributor this season for the Cavaliers, averaging 10.1 points, 3.4 assists, and 1.2 steals with 41.2 percent shooting from deep. Jerome notched 15 points and a pair of steals in just 12 minutes as Cleveland defeated the Thunder 129-122 last week.

    Aaron Nesmith Thu Jan 16 6:40pm

    Indiana Pacers forward Aaron Nesmith (ankle) will return to the lineup on Thursday against Detroit, but he will have a minutes restriction. Per Dustin Dopirak of the Indianapolis Star, Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle has not specified what it will be. Nesmith has been out since Nov. 1, so it's no surprise Indiana wants to ease him back into action. He will probably come off the bench, which will help the team control his minutes better. Before suffering a left ankle sprain, Nesmith averaged 9.2 points and 4.0 rebounds in 22.7 minutes.

    Karl-Anthony Towns Thu Jan 16 6:40pm

    New York Knicks center Karl-Anthony Towns (thumb) has been listed as questionable on the injury report for Friday's game against Minnesota. Towns might miss the special matchup against the team that drafted him due to a thumb injury. He exited the lineup for the fourth time this season on Wednesday versus Philadelphia. Jericho Sims started instead of Towns, finishing with eight points and seven rebounds in 23 minutes. Precious Achiuwa logged 30 minutes off the bench and had 10 points with six rebounds and three blocks. Achiuwa has more fantasy upside compared to Sims, but it's possible Towns will manage to play through his injury on Friday.

    Tyrese Haliburton Thu Jan 16 6:20pm

    Indiana Pacers point guard Tyrese Haliburton (groin) will suit up against Detroit on Thursday. He has been upgraded from questionable to available, meaning Haliburton will sit out only one game due to a mild groin strain. Haliburton's presence reduces the fantasy value of Andrew Nembhard and T.J. McConnell. Ben Sheppard might also take a hit because he started instead of Haliburton on Tuesday against Cleveland. However, with Bennedict Mathurin (suspension) unavailable, there is a possibility Sheppard remains in the starting unit for Thursday's game. Haliburton has not played well against Cade Cunningham and the Pistons this season, averaging 17.0 points and 4.5 assists.
