OG Anunoby Questionable To Return On Friday
OG Anunoby (elbow) has been upgraded to questionable for the first time since having to be sidelined again due to a flare-up in his elbow, which caused him to miss almost two months from January to March. He originally returned for three games on March 12, but experienced a setback and has missed the last nine games. If he's able to play against the Chicago Bulls, it's unclear how many minutes he'll receive right away, since 30 or more minutes seemed to be too much last time. Miles McBride would take the biggest hit to his opportunities, but fantasy managers may want to wait and see how Anunoby comes back into the rotation.

OG Anunoby, Josh Hart Will Play On Friday
OG Anunoby (thumb) and Josh Hart (knee) will play on Friday against the Cavaliers. Anunoby and Hart weren't available for Thursday's loss to the Detroit Pistons. As a result, Miles McBride and Precious Achiuwa moved into the starting lineup, with the duo combining for 30 points, 12 boards, nine assists, six steals, and three blocks. While the absence of Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) should keep them involved, they aren't expected to be nearly as productive for DFS managers.

OG Anunoby Considered A Game-Time Decision Against Cavaliers
OG Anunoby (thumb) has been listed as questionable for Friday's contest with the East-leading Cleveland Cavaliers. He's a true game-time decision according to head coach Tom Thibodeau, along with Karl-Anthony Towns (knee), Jalen Brunson (ankle), and Josh Hart (knee). Anunoby was forced to miss their last game due to the same thumb sprain that he's dealing with now. If he's unable to play again, Mikal Bridges would likely soak up a lot of minutes while P.J. Tucker and Landry Shamet get some more run off of the bench. Tucker clocked 27 minutes in their last game and registered three points and six rebounds, so finding a streaming option may be better elsewhere.

OG Anunoby Out On Thursday
OG Anunoby (thumb) has been ruled out for Thursday's contest against the Detroit Pistons. He will miss his first game since Feb. 20 due to a thumb sprain. Josh Hart (knee) and Mitchell Robinson (ankle) have also been ruled out for Thursday's action, which should significantly increase Precious Achiuwa's playing time. Miles McBride and Landry Shamet are also expected to receive more opportunities in a favorable fantasy matchup against a team that ranks eighth in pace while holding a mediocre defensive rating.

OG Anunoby Ready To Take On Lakers
OG Anunoby (thumb) will play in Thursday's matchup against the Los Angeles Lakers. A thumb sprain initially left Anunoby with a questionable tag. On Thursday, Anunoby has a chance to score 20-plus points in a third consecutive game for the first time this season. He finished off last week with a 23-point effort against the Miami Heat and started this week's action by notching 29 points against the Golden State Warriors.
