Devin Vassell (Achilles) listed out Saturday
Devin Vassell (Achilles) has been listed out Saturday against the New Orleans Pelicans. With Vassell out, Josh Richardson could make his way into the starting lineup for the Spurs and should play an increased role. Off the bench, both Tre Jones and Keita Bates-Diop should pick up more minutes with Joe Wisekamp available to pick up anything leftover. If Richardson does in fact enter the starting lineup he will be worth consideration on today’s showdown slate.

Jimmy Butler, Tyler Herro, PJ Tucker, Victor Oladipo, Duncan Robinson, Caleb Martin all listed questionable Saturday; Gabe Vincent listed out
Jimmy Butler, Tyler Herro, PJ Tucker, Victor Oladipo, Duncan Robinson, and Caleb Martin are all listed questionable for Saturday’s game against the Brooklyn Nets, while Gabe Vincent has been listed out. The Heat will once again have an extremely long injury report with a lot of unknowns. Last night only Tyler Herro and Vincent ended up sitting and now that the Heat are in a close battle for the top seed in the east it wouldn’t be surprising for all available players to suit up tonight. However the Heat could also elect to punt this game and give some of their key pieces an extra day off before the stretch run of the regular season. It will be interesting to see how the Heat elect to attack tonight and speculation at the current juncture isn’t worth anyone’s time with so many moving parts. Stay tuned as we will relay more information as we get it.

Seth Curry (ankle) and Goran Dragic (knee) will play Saturday against the Miami Heat after being listed as probable on the injury report last night. As expected, both Curry and Dragic will be available and should remain in their usual roles for the Brooklyn Nets.
As reported by: Alex Schiffer Other tagged players: Goran Dragic Robert Covington (hand) available to play Friday; Brandon Boston Jr. (illness) ruled out
Robert Covington (hand) will be available to play Friday against the Philadelphia 76ers, while Brandon Boston Jr. (illness) has been ruled out. Covington will likely slide back into an important role off the bench for the Clippers but could be somewhat limited in his first game back. He is priced up a bit too much and come with too much risk to be worth considering in DFS contests at this time. With Boston out, his bench minutes should be covered by some combination of Semi Ojeleye and Rodney Hood though neither enters consideration for DFS contests tonight.
As reported by: Justin Russo Other tagged players: Brandon Boston Lineup Update: Blazers will start Williams, Johnson, Elleby, Watford, Eubanks on Friday
Lineup Update: Blazers will start Williams, Johnson, Elleby, Watford, Eubanks on Friday. Keon Johnson will get the start over Kris Dunn for Portland against the Houston Rockets. Ultimately this should only result in a slight shift of minutes from Dunn to Johnson though both should see a good amount of playing time with only 10 players available. Dunn will see a slight decrease in expected production while Johnson should see an increase. Johnson will be worth consideration as a value play at just 3.5K on DK.
As reported by: Jay Allen Jimmy Butler (ankle), PJ Tucker (knee), Duncan Robinson (Achilles), Caleb Martin (knee) all available Friday; Heat will start Lowry, Robinson, Butler, Tucker, Adebayo
Jimmy Butler (ankle), PJ Tucker (knee), Duncan Robinson (Achilles), Caleb Martin (knee) have all been listed available on the latest official NBA injury report and the Heat have announced their nor mal starting five. The only key player that will be out tonight for the Heat is Tyler Herro despite four other players being listed on the injury report earlier in the day. With Herro out, Max Strus and Caleb Martin should both play larger roles off the bench for Miami with Martin projecting as the better DFS play.Butler, Tucker, and Robinson should all remain in their normal roles with a slight bump due to Herro’s absence.
As reported by: Miami Heat Other tagged players: P.J. Tucker, Duncan Robinson, Caleb Martin Mitchell Robinson (back) listed available to play Friday
Mitchell Robinson (back) has been listed available to play Friday against the Miami Heat. Robinson will be available off the bench for the Knicks which leads to the question how available is he really if he isn’t starting. Robinson will likely be limited of the bench and Jericho Sims should still see the bulk of the center minutes for the Knicks. Robinson’s availability does limit the upside of Sims and it might be best to just avoid the situation at center for the Knicks entirely.
As reported by: Official NBA Injury Report Lineup Update: Knicks will start Burks, Fournier, Barrett, Toppin, Sims on Friday
Lineup Update: Knicks will start Burks, Fournier, Barrett, Toppin, Sims on Friday. Obi Toppin will once again get the start at power forward with Randle ruled out earlier in the day. Toppin should be considered in most formats as a great value option at just 4.5K. There is no official word on Mitchell Robinson yet but the fact that he isn’t starting isn’t a good sign for his availability as Jericho Sims will take his spot at center. Sims will be worth value play consideration at just 3.4K on DK if Robinson is officially ruled out.
As reported by: New York Knicks Karl-Anthony Towns (forearm) will be available and start Friday; Minnesota will start Russell, Beverley, Edwards, Vanderbilt, Towns
Karl-Anthony Towns (forearm) will be available and start Friday against the Dallas Mavericks. Despite being listed as questionable coming into tonight’s game KAT will suit up and start. KAT has been playing well as of late and will look to continue this hot strak against the Mavericks. He should be in lne to see his usual minutes in what looks to be a competitive game. KAT will be worth consideration in tournaments tonight.

Warriors will start Poole, Thompson, Wiggins, Kuminga, Green on Friday. As previously reported, Kuminga will get the start over Looney as the Warriors look to separate Draymond and Looney playing together according to a beat reporter. Looney will now pair up with Otto Porter Jr off the bench. This should raise Kuminga’s value while hurting Looney’s slightly.
As reported by: Anthony Slater Jonathan Kuminga will start for Kevon Looney on Friday.
Jonathan Kuminga will start for Kevon Looney on Friday.

Jazz will start Conley, Mitchell, O’Neale, Hernangómez and Gobert on Friday. Juancho Hernangomez will shift back to the starting lineup to replace Eric Paschall, as Paschall likely takes the Whiteside role for backup center duties.
As reported by: Sam Perley Bogdan Bogdanovic (knee) out on Friday.
Bogdan Bogdanovic (knee) out on Friday. Kevin Huerter and Trae Young are going to be even strong plays now, as the second unit becomes very thin.

Pistons will start Joseph, Cunningham, Bey, Grant and Stewart on Friday. This is as expected.
As reported by: keith Langlois Julius Randle (quad) out on Friday; Mitchell Robinson (back) will warm-up and then decide on status.
Julius Randle (quad) out on Friday; Mitchell Robinson (back) will warm-up and then decide on status. This should allow Obi Toppin to start again and while it’s not a great matchup, his minute upside is solid enough to consider in all formats.
