Precious Achiuwa is in the starting lineup for the short-handed Heat on Thursday.
He'll be joined by Gabe Vincent, Tyler Herro, Duncan Robinson and Kelly Olynyk, and all of them could go off tonight against the Sixers.
Caleb Martin will replace Gordon Hayward (hip) in the starting lineup for the Hornets on Thursday.
Devonte' Graham, Terry Rozier, P.J. Washington and Bismack Biyombo are the other starters tonight. Caleb's brother, Cody Martin, will also get a bump tonight, as will Miles Bridges.
With Alex Len out for personal reasons Aron Baynes will start for the Raptors on Thursday night.
Kyle Lowry, Fred VanVleet, OG Anunoby and Pascal Siakam will join him in the starting five tonight. Apparently Chris Boucher is never going to start for this team, at least for now. Baynes had actually fallen out of the rotation and while he gets the start tonight, it should be Boucher who racks up all the fantasy stats.
Juwan Morgan won't play against the Hawks on Friday due to health and safety protocol.
Morgan doesn't have a consistent place in the rotation, and his absence shouldn't change much fantasy-wise.
Derrick Favors is available against the Hawks on Friday despite his sore right knee.
Favors doesn't get enough minutes to be useful in standard fantasy leagues but that could change down the road if his knee ever gets right.
Joe Ingles won't play on Friday against the Hawks due to right Achilles soreness.
This is Ingles' second straight missed game due to the injury. On Tuesday, Bojan Bogdanovic scored 20 points (four made 3-pointers) with three assists, two rebounds and two turnovers in 28 minutes. Georges Niang scored 14 points on 6-of-11 shooting (two made 3-pointers), with five rebounds in 15 minutes. Look for them to both step up again in Ingles' absence.
Gordon Hayward (hip), who was listed as doubtful, is active but didn't start for the Hornets on Thursday and won't play.
It sounds like his hip injury isn't too serious and he was listed as probable for this one earlier in the day but the Hornets are likely just taking precautions with him. Caleb Martin starting in his place tonight and hopefully Hayward will be back for the next one.
The Grizzlies have waived guard Tim Frazier.
He's now a free agent and able to sign with another team.
Terrance Ferguson (health protocols) is available for Thursday's game against the Heat.
Ferguson isn't expected to play much but could get some run if the Sixers blow the Heat out of the gym tonight.
Jontay Porter (knee) and Killian Tillie (hamstring) have been ruled out again for Friday.
Obviously, there are zero fantasy ramifications here.
Josh Okogie (hamstring) is listed as probable for Friday's game against the Grizzlies.
Okogie got a start on Wednesday and finished with three points, three rebounds and four assists on 1-of-2 shooting. But the Wolves are going to be without Juancho Hernangomez, Jake Layman and Ricky Rubio so Okogie should get another shot to play significant minutes tomorrow.
Evan Fournier won't play on Friday against the Celtics due to back spasms.
Fournier hasn't played a game since New Year's Eve, recovering slowly from the injury. For as long as he sits, Terrence Ross, James Ennis and Dwayne Bacon should see an uptick in minutes, and in responsibility in the offense.
Joel Embiid (back) is good to go against the Heat on Thursday.
Embiid looked like a monster when he scored 45 on Tuesday night and he should have easy pickings against a Bam Adebayo-less Heat team that is down to eight players. Jimmy Butler is also out tonight and the only thing fantasy managers have to worry about is this one becoming and early blowout.
Otto Porter Jr. is listed as probable for Friday's game against the Thunder with back spasms.
We fully expect OPJ to be out there on Friday night after missing most of the last two games. Lauri Markkanen is also due back for this one so it will be interesting to see how Billy Donovan doles out minutes to them.
Michael Carter-Williams (foot) won't play on Friday against the Celtics.
MCW doesn't have a lot of fantasy value but does get to play because the Magic lost Markelle Fultz for the season and rookie Cole Anthony is struggling to learn the ropes. But we don't know when he'll be ready to play again.
Garrett Temple is questionable for Friday against the Thunder due to a right ankle injury.
When Temple gets hot he can do some damage for the Bulls but with Lauri Markkanen and Otto Porter Jr. both on their way back, we don't have much faith in Temple right now, even when healthy.
Alex Len won't play on Thursday against the Hornets due to personal reasons.
Len is a minimal-impact fantasy player despite starting on Monday. Chris Boucher and Pascal Siakam are likely to soak up his minutes.
Meyers Leonard won't play on Thursday against the Sixers due to a shoulder injury.
Leonard hasn't played since January 9th with the injury, and Heat are back at eight players for Thursday's game. They'll have Kelly Olynyk, Gabe Vincent, Precious Achiuwa, Tyler Herro, Andre Iguodala, Duncan Robinson, Chris Silva, and Max Strus. Expect all eight to see extended minutes, with Vincent, Herro, Robinson and Achiuwa looking to replicate their explosive games from Tuesday.
Darius Garland won't play on Friday due to his lingering shoulder injury.
Things have been very quiet out of Cleveland in regards to injuries and we have no idea how close Garland is to playing. Hopefully he'll be ready to go sometime next week.
Mo Bamba did not travel with the Magic, and won't play on Friday against the Celtics due to contact tracing not related to the team.
Bamba does not have COVID-19, and it sounds like he's been exposed by someone else not on the team. His availability after Friday's game is unknown for now. Bamba has played just 32 minutes across four games this season. Expect Khem Birch to see an uptick in minutes in his absence.
