Robert Williams (illness) has been ruled out ruled out Saturday, Romeo Langford (calf) and Josh Richardson (back) will both play. Williams being out should solidify heavy minutes for Horford, and it pushes Grant Williams into the starting lineup.

Daniel Gafford (quad) has been ruled out Saturday, Harrell will start in his place.

Daniel Gafford (quad) has been ruled out Saturday, Harrell will start in his place. Montrezl Harrell has seen his price come up, however he has been a monster per-minute producer his entire career, and we have seen his minutes to tick up with Gafford out of the lineup.

Nikola Jokic (knee) listed probable Saturday.

Bam Adebayo (knee) listed questionable Saturday.

Malcolm Brogdon (hamstring) listed doubtful Saturday. Caris Levert (knee) listed as questionable.

Malcolm Brogdon (hamstring) listed doubtful Saturday. Caris Levert is listed as questionable, and his return would greatly shake up the Pacers rotation. If he remains out, TJ McConnell should enter the starting lineup and be a strong value play once again.

Brandon Ingram (hip) doubtful, Josh Hart (quad) probable and Garrett Temple (ankle) OUT Saturday.

Brandon Ingram (hip) doubtful Saturday. With Ingram out, this should lead to increased usage for Nickeil Alexander-Walker and Devonte Graham, with Josh Hart (Probable) or Herb Jones potentially entering the starting lineup. Garrett Temple has also been ruled out for the second consecutive game.

Zach LaVine (thumb) available to play Saturday.

Zach LaVine (thumb) available to play Saturday.

Joel Embiid (knee) listed as available to play tonight vs. the Hawks.

Joel Embiid (knee) listed as available to play tonight vs. the Hawks. This is significant as Embiid has been listed as questionable leading up to tip-off for nearly every game this season.

Pascal Siakam (Shoulder) and Yuta Watanabe (Ankle) will remain out for Raptors tonight.

Pascal Siakam (Shoulder) and Yuta Watanabe (Ankle) will remain out for Raptors tonight. While neither of the two players have played for the Raptors yet this season, Siakam has made an important step in his return, recently scrimmaging with the Raptors 905 team. While his return is nearing, Yuta Watanabe recently underwent a setback with his sprained ankle. Of the two, Siakam is by far the more fantasy relevant player, and is sure to shake up the Raptors’ rotation upon his return.

LeBron James (ankle) listed available Friday

James has officially been upgraded from questionable on the latest Lakers’ injury report and will be available to play in Friday’s matchup against the Cleveland Cavaliers after missing two consecutive games due to a sore right ankle, while Anthony Davis, Malik Monk, and Wayne Ellington are all also active, as expected, following their original probable designations. There haven’t been any reports of a potential minute restriction for LeBron, so he should assume his normal place in the starting lineup and handle a normal workload in the minutes department. This will send Monk back to the bench to resume a reserve role, and LeBron’s presence in the first unit is a tremendous hit to the fantasy value of Davis and Russell Westbrook this evening.

Kristaps Porzingis (back) and Sterling Brown (ankle) listed out Friday; Boban Marjanovic (back) listed probable

Porzingis and Brown have been included on the Mavericks’ initial injury report and won’t play in Friday’s second leg of a back-to-back set against the Denver Nuggets due to their respective ailments, while Marjanovic has been upgraded to probable and appears on track to play after missing Thursday’s win with back tightness. Since Dallas is already down Porzingis, the availability of Boban becomes a critical piece of news for tonight’s slate, as his presence further muddies the outlook of Dwight Powell, Willie Cauley-Stein, and Maxi Kleber in head coach Jason Kidd’s everchanging rotation. If Kidd does opt for a smaller starting lineup with Reggie Bullock starting on the wing to move Dorian Finney-Smith down to power forward once again, it could open some viable value options with Bullock, Finney-Smith, and Jalen Brunson all presenting upside at their price tags across the daily fantasy industry this evening.
