Ish Smith is Probable on Friday
Detroit Pistons guard Ish Smith (groin) is listed as probable for Friday's game against the Miami Heat. Smith returned to the lineup on Monday and scored eight points in 19 minutes. He won't be much of a fantasy option going forward. He can be left on the waiver wire in most formats.
Tyler Johnson is Available on Friday
Miami Heat guard Tyler Johnson (illness) is available for Friday's game against the Detroit Pistons. He was listed as questionable on Thursday after missing practice.

Kyle Lowry Will Rest on Thursday
