Brandon Ingram (ankle) listed out Saturday; Jonas Valanciunas (illness) questionable; Devonte' Graham probable
Brandon Ingram (ankle) has been listed out for Saturday’s game against the Boston Celtics, while Jonas Valanciunas (illness) has been listed questionable. Willy Hernangomez could once again draw the start with Nickeil Alexander-Walker and Devonte Graham (probable) likely to see more usage. Hernangomez will remain a good play as long as he is in the starting lineup for the Pelicans.

Ryan Arcidiacono (ankle) listed out Friday
Ryan Arcidiacono (ankle) has been listed out for Friday’s game against the Milwaukee Bucks. Arcidiacono is not currently in the rotation for the Knicks so his lack of availability will have no DFS ramifications.
As reported by: Official NBA Injury Report Nerlens Noel (knee) will play Friday
Nerlens Noel (knee) will play Friday against the Milwaukee Bucks. Noel will be expected to handle the bench big man minutes for the Knicks with Mitchell Robinson drawing the start. Noel remains outside of DFS consideration at this time.
As reported by: Steve Popper Wesley Matthews (knee) listed available to play Friday, Rodney Hood (Achilles) listed out
Wesley Matthews (knee) has been listed available to play Friday against the New York Knicks, while Rodney Hood (Achilles) has been listed out. Matthews will likely be at the end of the rotation for the Milwaukee Bucks and will pick up any minutes that Hood would have seen.
As reported by: Official NBA Injury Report Other tagged players: Rodney Hood Jaylen Nowell (back) and Jarred Vanderbilt (foot) both available and will start Friday
Jaylen Nowell (back) and Jarred Vanderbilt (foot) will both be available and start Friday against the Phoenix Suns. Nowell will make his first career start with both D’Angelo Russell and Patrick Beverley ruled out earlier in the day. Nowell will enter value play consideration at just 4K on DK with a large workload expected for him. Vanderbilt should see his normal run as a starter but could see a few more opportunities with the Timberwolves down a couple starters.
As reported by: Minnesota Timberwolves Other tagged players: Jarred Vanderbilt Lineup Update: Thunder will start Gilgeous-Alexander, Dort, Mann, Giddey, Robinson-Earl on Friday

As reported by: Joe Mussatto Robert Covington (knee) and Dennis Smith Jr. (ankle) will play Friday; CJ Elleby (leg) ruled out
Robert Covington (knee) and Dennis Smith Jr. (ankle) will be available to play Friday against the Houston Rockets, while CJ Elleby (leg) has been ruled out. Covington should draw the start and see his normal run for Portland, though he is currently not a viable option in DFS contests at his price (5.5K on DK). Smith Jr. should return to his backup point guard role and the minutes that go along with that, he is also not a candidate for consideration in DFS contests. With Elleby ruled out, his bench minutes should be spread amongst the other bench guards though this should not be of note for DFS players.
As reported by: Casey Holdahl Other tagged players: Dennis Smith Jr., CJ Elleby Domantas Sabonis (ankle) will play Friday
Domantas Sabonis (ankle) will play Friday against the Oklahoma City Thunder. This was expected after we were told he was “probably” going to play today so after four missed games Sabonis will make his return. Sabonis might not be ready to see his full workload but he should still play a large part in the Indiana offense tonight.
As reported by: Scott Agness D'Angelo Russell (shin) and Patrick Beverley (ankle) ruled out Friday
D’Angelo Russell (shin) and Patrick Beverley (ankle) have both been ruled out for Friday’s matchup against the Phoenix Suns. Russell’s absence should lead to Karl-Anthony Towns and Anthony Edwards carrying even more of the offense than they are accustomed to, strengthening their value. The absence of Beverley could lead to Jaylen Nowell entering the starting lineup and playing the point for the first unit, Malik Beasley could also be tasked with seeing some increased run.
As reported by: Jace Frederick Other tagged players: Patrick Beverley Jimmy Butler (toe) available and will start Friday
Jimmy Butler (toe) will be available and will start Friday against the Los Angeles Clippers. This was expected after we were told that Butler would warm up with the intention of laying today. Butler is expected to see his normal run and can be considered in DFS contests as he has the ability to score well on any slate he is a part of.
As reported by: Miami Heat Josh Hart (ankle) available to play Friday
Josh Hart (ankle) will be available to play Friday against the Denver Nuggets. Hart should be a member of the starting lineup for the Pelicans and should see increased usage with both Brandon Ingram and Jonas Valanciunas already ruled out. As long as Hart is able to see his full run he is worthy of consideration in most DFS formats.
As reported by: Daniel Sallerson Christian Wood (illness) and Josh Christopher (thigh) available to play Friday
Christian Wood (illness) and Josh Christopher (thigh) will both be available to play Friday against the Portland Trail Blazers. Wood should start and see his normal run as one of the top options for the Rockets, while Christopher should see his normal bench minutes as one of the top rotational pieces for Houston. Both can be considered in DFS contests tonight.
As reported by: Mark Berman Other tagged players: Josh Christopher Will Barton (illness) out on Friday.
Will Barton (illness) out on Friday. This should push Austin Rivers back into the starting lineup and open up more usage for Aaron Gordon, who has played well as of late.
