2 weeks agoMiami Heat forward
Jaime Jaquez Jr. (conditioning) has received a questionable tag for Friday's game against the Denver Nuggets. He's currently going through some return to play conditioning and it's unclear if he's fully ready to return to the court. The second-year wing has missed the last two games but has a chance to return. If his conditioning isn't where it needs to be,
Nikola Jovic and
Josh Richardson will see some added minutes in his absence.

Tyler Herro (back) appeared on the injury report but is considered available for the team's Friday night contest against the Denver Nuggets. The lethal scorer continues to be a mainstay on the injury report but it hasn't held him back from playing yet this season. So far, Herro averages 22.7 points, 4.9 rebounds, 4.4 assists, 4.0 threes, and 2.3 turnovers per game. Fantasy managers can continue to depend on him for scoring and threes while he contributes here and there in boards and assists.

2 weeks agoWashington Wizards forward
Kyle Kuzma (groin) will remain sidelined on Friday while he heals from a strained groin. This will be his fourth consecutive missed game after suffering the strain on October 28 against the Atlanta Hawks. While he's been out, the Wizards have embraced the new youth movement.
Alexandre Sarr,
Kyshawn George, and
Bilal Coulibaly have all joined the starting five while
Corey Kispert has seen plenty of minutes from the bench. All of which are solid streaming options in 12-team leagues and deeper.

2 weeks agoDallas Mavericks forward
P.J. Washington (knee) will miss his second game in a row dealing with a sprained right knee. The former Charlotte Hornet has been part of the starting lineup throughout the start of the season, but will make way for
Naji Marshall while he remains on the sidelines. With
Dereck Lively II (shoulder) also watching from the sidelines,
Daniel Gafford will also see more minutes.
Olivier-Maxence Prosper and
Dwight Powell will see some opportunities off of the bench, but they serve as streaming options in deeper leagues.

2 weeks agoDallas Mavericks center
Dereck Lively II (shoulder) will be sidelined again on Friday while he deals with a sprained shoulder. The second-year big man suffered the injury on November 3 against the Orlando Magic, so this will be his third consecutive missed game. In his place,
Daniel Gafford will take over the starting role while
Naji Marshall and
Dwight Powell receive some more opportunities as well. Gafford and Marshall, however, would be the better streaming options.

2 weeks agoAtlanta Hawks forward
De'Andre Hunter (knee) will remain sidelined for an eighth consecutive game after officially being ruled out for Friday's game against the Detroit Pistons. Hunter continues to be listed with injury management for his right knee. While
Bogdan Bogdanovic (hamstring) is also out,
Zaccharie Risacher and
Dyson Daniels are the two best streaming options while
David Roddy and
Garrison Mathews could serve some spot starts here and there.

2 weeks agoGolden State Warriors forward/center
Draymond Green (knee) has picked up a questionable tag on Friday for their contest against the Cleveland Cavaliers. The former Defensive Player of the Year hasn't missed a game yet this year and has anchored one of the best defenses in the league again. A lot of his numbers are down in his 13th season, but his all-around skills are still conducive to category leagues. If Green can't play,
Trayce Jackson-Davis,
Kevon Looney, and
Kyle Anderson will all see some extra minutes.

2 weeks agoNew Orleans Pelicans guard
Trey Murphy III (hamstring) will not make his season debut on Friday after being downgraded from doubtful to out. He has been battling a strained hamstring to start the year, and the Pelicans seem to be taking a cautious approach after signing him to an extension. The Pelicans are also without
Dejounte Murray (hand),
CJ McCollum (adductor), and
Jordan Hawkins (back). That leaves
Jose Alvarado as a big-time streaming option with some added opportunities going to
Brandon Boston Jr. and
Javonte Green too.

2 weeks agoDenver Nuggets guard
Jamal Murray (concussion) remains in the concussion protocol and is considered questionable for Friday night's game against the Miami Heat. The veteran combo guard has already missed the last three consecutive games and is in danger of missing a fourth. Murray first suffered the concussion against Minnesota on November 1. If he can't get back on the floor,
Christian Braun and
Peyton Watson have been solid streaming options while
Russell Westbrook runs with the starting five as well.

2 weeks agoBoston Celtics guard/forward
Jaylen Brown (hip) has been ruled out of Friday's matchup with the Brooklyn Nets while he continues to deal with a strained hip flexor. The All-NBA wing was considered day-to-day with the hip issue but will miss his fourth straight game. The Celtics have only lost once so far in that span, so Brown's absence hasn't been felt too much. While he's out,
Payton Pritchard will continue to see big minutes while
Sam Hauser gets more opportunities off of the bench.
--Alex Fischbein - RotoBallerSource: NBA Injury Report
2 weeks agoDetroit Pistons center
Jalen Duren (ankle) has been listed as doubtful ahead of the Friday night matchup with the Atlanta Hawks. The young big man originally sprained his left ankle during the game against the Charlotte Hornets on Wednesday in the opening quarter. He didn't return to that game and it looks like he'll need to miss at least one game. In his place,
Isaiah Stewart will likely take over the starting center spot while
Paul Reed gets some minutes in relief. Stewart would serve as the better streaming option for managers in need.

2 weeks agoPhiladelphia 76ers guard
Tyrese Maxey (hamstring) suffered a hamstring injury during the team's Wednesday night contest against the Los Angeles Clippers. At the time, it was considered to be minor, but the star combo guard will miss multiple weeks. According to Brett Siegel, the team is "optimistic" that Maxey will be back before the end of month and his absence shouldn't be dragged out like
Joel Embiid's (knee). In the meantime,
Kyle Lowry,
Jared McCain, and
Eric Gordon will all see some added minutes.

2 weeks agoNew Orleans Pelicans guard
Jordan Hawkins (back) will miss one to two weeks with a lower-back strain, according to the team's official page on X. The 22-year-old cracked the starting rotation over the last few games while the Pelicans suffered multiple injuries to their backcourt. With another injury to a guard, they'll be very thin for the next week at least.
Jose Alvarado has also entered the starting five, while
Brandon Boston Jr. and
Javonte Green will get even more minutes while the others are on the mend.

2 weeks agoNew Orleans Pelicans forward
Zion Williamson (hamstring) has received a questionable tag for the team's Friday night contest against the Orlando Magic. The Duke product was able to give it a go on Wednesday, left briefly with an undisclosed injury at the time, but finished out the game. While his scoring and efficiency has taken a bit of a dip, Williamson has increased his rebounding and block numbers so far. If he's unable to suit up, however,
Jeremiah Robinson-Earl and
Daniel Theis will see some added minutes and opportunities.

2 weeks agoCharlotte Hornets forward
Miles Bridges (knee) has suffered a bone bruise to his right knee and will be out for at least two weeks. According to Michael Scotto, the 26-year-old will be re-evaluated at the two-week mark to see if he'll need to miss any more time after that. In his last game on Wednesday, Bridges played 35 minutes and posted 27 points, seven rebounds, and two assists. Either
Cody Martin or
Grant Williams will likely take over that starting spot but both of them are riskier streaming options right now.
