Norman Powell Available Versus Sacramento
Los Angeles Clippers forward Norman Powell (ankle) will suit up on Sunday against the Sacramento Kings. The 30-year-old was questionable because of a sprained ankle. Fortunately, the injury only cost him a game. With Paul George (knee) out, Powell should see a bump in fantasy production on Sunday night, no matter his role.
Deni Avdija Out Again On Sunday Evening
Washington Wizards forward Deni Avdia (heel) remains out on Sunday evening versus the Cavaliers. The 23-year-old has a heel contusion, keeping him off the floor for Friday's matchup against OKC.

Kenyon Martin Jr. Downgraded On Sunday
Philadelphia 76ers forward Kenyon Martin Jr. (ankle) is now out for Sunday's matchup with the Bucks.

LeBron James Questionable Versus Phoenix
Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) is questionable for the Sunday afternoon showdown with the Suns.

Milwaukee Bucks forward Khris Middleton (ankle) remains out on Sunday versus Philadelphia. This will mark the veteran's seventh consecutive absence because of an ankle injury, which occurred before the All-Star break.

Deni Avdija Ruled Out On Friday
Washington Wizards forward Deni Avdija (heel) has been ruled out ahead of Friday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder.
