According to Clemente Almanza of USA Today, Oklahoma City Thunder guard/forwardAaron Wiggins(thigh) will miss Friday's game against the Sacramento Kings. Despite posting 27 points, two rebounds, two assists, and three steals on Wednesday versus the Trail Blazers, Wiggins sustained a left adductor strain during the contest. With Wiggins out and Luguentz Dort (shoulder) possibly sidelined, Isaiah Joe and Cason Wallace will likely see extended minutes on the floor Friday evening.

According to Clemente Almanza of USA Today, Oklahoma City Thunder guard/forwardLuguentz Dort(shoulder) is questionable for Friday's matchup against the Oklahoma City Thunder. The 26-year-old sustained a shoulder injury during Tuesday's 126-107 win over the Clippers and could miss his second straight game. Dort has struggled to find his rhythm so far this season, shooting just 31.5 percent from the field while averaging 7.1 points, 5.0 rebounds, 1.6 assists, and 1.0 steals across seven outings. Fantasy managers should be aware that he will likely be a game-time decision for Friday evening.

According to Clemente Almanza of USA Today, Oklahoma City Thunder forward/center Chet Holmgren (back) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Friday's matchup with the Sacramento Kings. Holmgren sat out the second half of Wednesday's back-to-back set for rest purposes, as he recently returned from a lower back strain. When available, the 23-year-old has been a fantasy force, averaging 20.6 points, 9.2 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.6 blocks, and 1.2 steals across five outings.

Sacramento Kings center Domantas Sabonis (ribs) has been listed as questionable for Friday's Western Conference showdown against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Sabonis has sustained a ribcage contusion and may have to sit out a second consecutive game due to the injury. Following Sabonis' exit from the lineup, Drew Eubanks started on Wednesday night against the Golden State Warriors. He had a solid outing with 12 points, six rebounds, two blocks, and one steal in 32 minutes. A repeat of that performance isn't out of the question on Friday if Sabonis can't rejoin the lineup.

Sacramento Kings guard/forward Zach LaVine (back) isn't on the injury report for a clash against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Friday night. He's been dealing with a back issue lately and had to sit out his first game of the season, when the Kings hosted the Golden State Warriors on Wednesday. LaVine has been productive to start the year, notching 27.4 points, 3.4 rebounds, and 2.0 assists with 51.6 percent shooting. His return to the lineup will bump Nique Clifford back to the bench.

Brooklyn Nets guard/forward Terance Mann (shoulder) is regarded as probable for Friday's NBA Cup tilt against the Detroit Pistons. Mann is nursing left shoulder soreness, but he is expected to play on Friday. With Cam Thomas (hamstring) out, Mann could be a lot more involved in the offense. He's capable of providing all-around fantasy value, having averaged 11.9 points, 3.6 rebounds, 3.4 assists, and 1.4 steals so far this season. Recently, Mann has struggled with his shooting, but overall, he has netted 52.9 percent of his attempts from the field.

Milwaukee Bucks forward Taurean Prince (neck) is considered questionable for Friday's clash against the Chicago Bulls. The veteran could be sidelined for the first time this season due to a neck strain. Prince averages over 20 minutes a night off the Bucks bench, but he doesn't do enough to be considered a good fantasy option, recording 6.1 points with 1.6 rebounds and 1.0 assists. Prince's absence from the rotation on Friday night could increase the playing time of Kyle Kuzma and Amir Coffey. Kuzma has gained momentum lately, scoring at least 15 points in four consecutive outings.

Chicago Bulls guard/forward Ayo Dosunmu (quadriceps) is listed as questionable on the injury report for Friday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. He has missed the past two games due to a right quadriceps contusion. It's possible Dosunmu can return to the lineup against the Bucks because he practiced on Thursday. Dosunmu has reaped benefits from a hot shooting hand early in the season, averaging 16.2 points, 3.0 rebounds, and 3.2 assists. He's hit nearly 58 percent of his shots from the field, including 47.6 percent of his three-point attempts. Dosunmu's return could impact the playing time of Tre Jones, Isaac Okoro, and Kevin Huerter.

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Dean Wade (eye) won't suit up for Friday's NBA Cup matchup against the Washington Wizards. Wade sustained an eye injury just 38 seconds after entering the game in Wednesday's win over the Philadelphia 76ers. While Wade is ruled out for Friday's game, he won't have to wait long for his first opportunity to return, as Cleveland also has a matchup against the Chicago Bulls scheduled for Saturday. In Friday's game, Larry Nance Jr. could play a more prominent role in the frontcourt with Wade missing.

San Antonio Spurs forward/center Kelly Olynyk (heel) is questionable on the injury report for Friday night's action against the Houston Rockets. The veteran big man just made his season debut this week, posting four points, four rebounds, and three assists in nine minutes against the Los Angeles Lakers on Wednesday. Jeremy Sochan (wrist) made his first appearance of the season as well in Wednesday's game but is also questionable for Friday. The meeting with Houston marks the start of a back-to-back for San Antonio, so the team may use Olynyk in one game and Sochan in the other to manage their workload.

San Antonio Spurs forward/center Jeremy Sochan (wrist) has been listed as questionable for Friday's matchup against the Houston Rockets. Sochan missed the start of the season due to a wrist sprain, making his first appearance in Wednesday's loss to the Los Angeles Lakers. He scored 16 points on only seven shots in 22 minutes but didn't do much else. Now, the Spurs face a back-to-back, and the team will not want to risk overworking Sochan. If Sochan is ruled out for Friday's action, he will likely return to the lineup for Saturday's tilt against the New Orleans Pelicans. Players like Keldon Johnson and Harrison Barnes would see their workload increase with Sochan out of the lineup.

Charlotte Hornets guard Collin Sexton (neck) is carrying a probable tag on the injury report ahead of Friday's encounter with the Miami Heat. The speedy guard is dealing with a neck strain, but it likely won't keep him off the court against the Heat. After being used as a spark plug off the bench, Sexton has made three consecutive starts for the Hornets. He's had more ball-handling duties with LaMelo Ball (ankle) sidelined, averaging 12.3 points and 6.0 assists over the last three games. While Ball could return to the lineup on Friday night, Sexton should continue to figure heavily in the backcourt.

Houston Rockets center Steven Adams (hip) is facing a second consecutive absence, as the team has listed him as questionable for Friday's contest against the San Antonio Spurs. The veteran big man is dealing with a tight hip flexor. Adams' absence has opened the door for additional playing time for Clint Capela, who notched six points and 10 rebounds in 16 minutes during Wednesday's win over the Memphis Grizzlies. He now boasts 28 rebounds across his last three outings. However, things will likely be difficult on the glass for the Rockets on Friday, as San Antonio holds the league's highest-rebounding rate at 60 percent.

Detroit Pistons guard/forward Caris LeVert (knee) is considered questionable for Friday's clash against the Brooklyn Nets. He may have to skip a meeting with his former team due to a sore left knee. As a bench piece in Detroit, LeVert hasn't provided much fantasy production this year, settling for 6.2 points, 1.2 rebounds, and 1.8 assists in 19.0 minutes. If he can suit up on Friday, LeVert could see increased offensive usage due to Tobias Harris' (ankle) absence. Ronald Holland II and Javonte Green are set to share LeVert's minutes in the second unit if he doesn't play.

Phoenix Suns guard/forward Grayson Allen (illness) has shaken off a questionable tag and will play in Thursday's matchup against the Los Angeles Clippers. Allen was a late addition to the injury report due to illness, but the team has now upgraded his status to available. At the start of the season, Allen has produced strong performances as a starter, but he is likely to drop to the bench on Thursday, as Jalen Green (hamstring) is ready to make his Suns debut. Given his battle with illness, a lighter workload may even benefit Allen, who has averaged nearly 35 minutes a night so far.

Phoenix Suns guard Jalen Green (hamstring) will officially be available on Thursday night against the Los Angeles Clippers. He will make his long-awaited Suns debut after recovering from a right hamstring strain. Suns head coach Jordan Ott told reporters that there is "a target number of minutes" for Green in the game, so the team plans to be cautious with his workload. This means that Grayson Allen (illness) is likely to still have a big role in the rotation, even if he's relegated to the bench on Thursday.

San Antonio Spurs point guard De'Aaron Fox (hamstring) will miss Friday's I-10 Rivalry matchup against the Houston Rockets. The star guard hasn't played at all this season due to a hamstring strain, and it's still unclear when the Spurs will have him back. San Antonio's backcourt also lost Dylan Harper (calf) this week, putting a lot of pressure on Stephon Castle and Devin Vassell to perform well. Both players had a tough time on Wednesday night against the Los Angeles Lakers, combining for 8-for-25 shooting. Due to Fox's absence, Julian Champagnie has also had a larger role on the team, logging time as a starter. He's been hit-and-miss from a fantasy perspective, posting 8.4 points and 6.3 rebounds per game.

Cleveland Cavaliers point guard Lonzo Ball (knee) won't be in the lineup on Friday against the Washington Wizards. He will be rested for the first leg of a back-to-back. Ball also sat out one game during Cleveland's first back-to-back of the season. Since Darius Garland made his season debut in Wednesday's win over the Philadelphia 76ers, the Cavaliers can afford to rest Ball even more often if needed. Sam Merrill and Craig Porter Jr. could get more work on Friday with Ball sidelined. Merrill has shown hot shooting form early in the season and is worth a look in fantasy leagues. He's averaging 16.6 points per game on 55 percent three-point shooting.

Cleveland Cavaliers forward De'Andre Hunter (illness) is expected to rejoin the lineup on Friday night against the Washington Wizards, as the team has listed him as probable on the injury report. Hunter wasn't available on Wednesday against the Philadelphia 76ers due to illness. He was replaced in the starting lineup by Darius Garland, who made his season debut. On Friday, we will likely see Hunter return to the first unit at the expense of Jaylon Tyson. Early this season, Hunter has battled some shooting woes, but he's still averaging 18.4 points a night, while grabbing 5.6 rebounds and dishing out 3.0 assists.

Washington Wizards forward Khris Middleton (elbow) is not on the injury report for Friday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. The veteran has missed two games with an elbow issue. Middleton plays a modest role with the Wizards team, but he will occupy a starting spot, sending Justin Champagnie back to the second unit. In six appearances this season, Middleton has averaged 11.3 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 2.2 assists in 24.8 minutes. Considering his lengthy injury history, there's a good chance Middleton will once again exit the lineup when Washington heads out for the second leg of a back-to-back on Saturday night against the Dallas Mavericks.
