Darius Garland (back) out on Friday.
Darius Garland (back) out on Friday. This could give Brandon Goodwin a spot start, so there could be some potential value here. We’re projecting Caris LeVert to join the starting lineup tonight, which would help boost the Cavs’ offensive unit without Garland.

Montrezl Harrell expected to make Hornets debut on Friday pending physicals on both sides are completed.
Montrezl Harrell expected to make Hornets debut on Friday pending physicals on both sides are completed. Given this news, we’re planning to add him back into the projections. There was news this morning that Harrell was expected to see most of his run at the backup center position, so his role from Washington likely won’t change too much. Stay tuned for more updates later in the day on his status.
As reported by: Rod Boone Josh Richardson, Tomas Satoransky and Romeo Langford not expected to make Spurs debuts on Friday.
Josh Richardson, Tomas Satoransky and Romeo Langford not expected to make Spurs debuts on Friday. This will leave the Spurs a bit short-handed on Friday after all their trades. We currently have 10 players projected for the Spurs, including Tre Jones who remains questionable.
As reported by: Jeff McDonald Other tagged players: Tomas Satoransky, Romeo Langford James Harden (hamstring) not expected to make 76ers debut on Friday.
James Harden (hamstring) not expected to make 76ers debut on Friday. Reports suggest Harden plans to arrive to Philadelphia this weekend and will have his hamstring re-assessed before being cleared. The 76ers play again on Saturday and reports say he’s unlikely to play this weekend, so we can expect Tuesday’s game against the Celtics to be the earliest for his debut.

Grayson Allen (hip) listed available to play Thursday
Grayson Allen (hip) has officially been listed available to play Thursday against the Phoenix Suns. This was expected after Allen was listed as probable throughout the course of the day. Allen will likely remain in the starting lineup with Pat Connaughton and Wesley Matthews available to back him up off the bench. Connaughton and Matthews could see some increased run with Donte DiVincenzo being traded to the Sacramento Kings earlier in the day.
As reported by: Official NBA Injury Report Mitchell Robinson (back) available to play Thursday: Nerlens Noel (knee) ruled out
As expected, Mitchell Robinson (back) will be available to play Thursday against the Golden State Warriors while Nerlens Noel (knee) has been ruled out. Mitchell Robinson should return to his role in the starting lineup for New York and is not expected to have a minutes restriction. He will be worth consideration in GPPs with Noel out. Taj Gibson should see the bulk of the backup center minutes with Jericho Sims also available if needed.
As reported by: New York Knicks Other tagged players: Nerlens Noel Klay Thompson will have a minutes restriction of 30 minutes Thursday
Klay Thompson will have a minutes restriction of 30 minutes Thursday against the New York Knicks. As Thompson continues to get back into form he will remain on a restriction of 30 minutes. This is more than enought time for Klay to do some damage but does slightly limit his upside. Jordan Poole and Damion Lee will remain the top bench guards for the Warriors.

Lineup Update: Rockets will start Porter Jr., Green, Mathews, Tate, Wood on Thursday. Garrison Matthews will draw the start sending Alperen Sengun to the bench. Sengun should still see a fair amount of run with the Rockets still pretty thin.

Raptors will start Trent Jr., Anunoby, Barnes, Siakam, Achiuwa on Thursday. Achiuwa will enter the starting lineup for the Raptors but is not expected to see traditional starter run. He still should see more minutes than usual and can be considered as a value option.

Wizards will start Neto, Caldwell-Pope, Kispert, Kuzma, Bryant on Thursday. Both Neto and Kispert will enter the starting lineup for the short-handed Wizards. Nearly all Wizards can be considered in DFS contests due to their expected run and their prices on DK.
