DFS Alerts
Bones Hyland will start Friday
Bones Hyland will start Friday. Assuming he plays starter minutes, this gives Hyland a ton of punt appeal as the Nuggets will be without Monte Morris.

Cade Cunningham (hip) will play Friday
Cade Cunningham (hip) will play Friday. His return should push Hamidou Diallo back to the bench.
As reported by: Johnny Kane Tre Jones (dental) available to play Friday
Tre Jones (dental) available to play Friday. Jones could play some rotation minutes with the Spurs down players but likely not enough to be DFS relevant.
As reported by: Paul Garcia Derrick White (trade) unlikely to make Celtics debut on Friday.
Derrick White (trade) unlikely to make Celtics debut on Friday. There is a small chance he clears before tipoff but both sides will need to pass physicals and the linked tweet makes that sound unlikely.

Isaiah Roby (ankle) "will be back in the rotation" on Friday per Coach Daigneault.
Isaiah Roby (ankle) “will be back in the rotation” on Friday per Coach Daigneault. Roby likely doesn’t play enough minutes to be DFS relevant but it takes a little shine off Poku in the second unit. I still think Poku has some GPP appeal.
As reported by: Joe Mussatto James Bouknight (wrist) available on Friday.
James Bouknight (wrist) available on Friday. This is as expected as he’s been listed as probable all day. He should see rotation minutes with the Hornets a bit short-handed.
As reported by: Rod Boone Montrezl Harrell (trade) available off the bench on Friday.
Montrezl Harrell (trade) available off the bench on Friday. He’ll be playing backup center mostly, meaning PJ Washington will be playing more backup power forward.
As reported by: Rod Boone Tyrese Maxey (hamstring) and Shake Milton (back) available on Friday.
Tyrese Maxey (hamstring) and Shake Milton (back) available on Friday. This provides the 76ers with some depth as they will be without James Harden and Paul Millsap through this weekend.
As reported by: NBA Injury Report Other tagged players: Shake Milton Thunder have waived KZ Okpala.
Thunder have waived KZ Okpala. This might allow Isaiah Roby to get some rotation minutes tonight but the Thunder are always hard to predict with their big men.
As reported by: Joe Mussatto Isaiah Jackson (ankle) and Jalen Smith (trade) available on Friday; Malcolm Brogdon (Achilles) and Terry Taylor (illness) ruled out.
Isaiah Jackson (ankle) and Jalen Smith (trade) available on Friday; Malcolm Brogdon (Achilles) and Terry Taylor (illness) ruled out. We’re expecting Tyrese Haliburton to run the point with Buddy Hield and Chris Duarte to start alongside him, but the Pacers could always mix this up. This should give Haliburton a higher ceiling with Brogdon out.
As reported by: Pat Boylan Other tagged players: Jalen Smith, Malcolm Brogdon, Terry Taylor Paul Millsap (trade) not expected to be available for the next two 76ers games.
Paul Millsap (trade) not expected to be available for the next two 76ers games. The 76ers play tonight and tomorrow but he will need to go through a physical before being cleared. Expect more minutes for Georges Niang in the meantime.
As reported by: Dave Uram Isaiah Roby (ankle) upgraded to available on Friday.
Isaiah Roby (ankle) upgraded to available on Friday. Roby could find himself with rotation minutes given the team remains with Jeremiah Robinson-Earl and Mike Muscala. Roby’s availability also makes Poku a slightly less appealing play, although I’d still consider him in play for large-field GPPs.
As reported by: Joe Mussatto Celtics to sign Sam Hauser and Luke Kornet to deals for the rest of the season.
Celtics to sign Sam Hauser and Luke Kornet to deals for the rest of the season. This is mostly a minor note but the Celtics remain short-handed so it’s possible Hauser and Kornet find themselves with garbage time minutes. This is otherwise not majorly impactful for DFS purposes.
As reported by: Adrian Wojnarowski Other tagged players: Luke Kornet Cade Cunningham (hip) questionable on Friday.
Cade Cunningham (hip) questionable on Friday. Hamidou Diallo started for Cunningham last night and could be in for another spot start if Cunningham can’t go.
As reported by: NBA Injury Report Marvin Bagley (trade pending) not available for Pistons debut on Friday.
Marvin Bagley (trade pending) not available for Pistons debut on Friday. With the Pistons short-handed again, they should rely on Kelly Olynyk and Luka Garza for their backup big minutes.
