Bagley (neck) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Celtics.

Bagley will miss a fifth straight game due to a neck sprain, and his next opportunity to return will come Sunday in Toronto. With Daniel Gafford (ankle) also sidelined, Dwight Powell and Moussa Cisse are likely to handle the majority of the center minutes.

Gafford (ankle) is out for Friday's game in Boston.

Gafford will hit the sidelines for the second leg of this back-to-back set, and with Marvin Bagley (neck) also unavailable, Dwight Powell and Moussa Cisse should be logging major minutes. Fantasy managers can expect Gafford to have a solid chance of returning for Sunday's game in Toronto.

Duren is probable for Saturday's game versus the Nets due to low-back spasms.

Duren is dealing with a lower-back issue, but it appears he plans to play through it Saturday. Managers can expect to get official confirmation on his status closer to tipoff.

Allen (knee) did not practice Friday, Spencer Davies of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Allen injured his right knee midway through the third quarter of Tuesday's 113-109 win over the Pistons and didn't return. The severity of the issue remains unclear, but the Cavaliers don't play until Sunday which helps his case.

Porzingis (illness) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Thunder.

Porzingis can presumably be considered day-to-day after missing Golden State's last six games. He's traveling with the team on this road trip, suggesting a return to action is in his near future.

Kleber (back) won't play Friday versus the Pacers.

This will be Kleber's second straight game on the inactive list due to the back injury, and with Deandre Ayton (knee) also unavailable for Friday's game, Jaxson Hayes should get all the run he can handle. Kleber's next chance to play will come Sunday against the Knicks.

Ayton (knee) will not play Friday against the Pacers.

Ayton left Thursday's game against Denver due to left knee soreness and was unable to return. The severity of the issue isn't known, but it's not a surprise to see the team exercise caution. Jarred Vanderbilt and Jaxson Hayes could see a bump in minutes with this news.

Reid recorded 12 points (5-12 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds, one assist and one block in 21 minutes during Thursday's 115-107 win over the Raptors.

Reid continues to be a hit-or-miss fantasy asset off Minnesota's bench. He's had a solid season overall, however, posting seventh-round value in nine-category fantasy formats with averages of 13.9 points, 6.4 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 1.0 steals, 1.0 blocks and 2.3 three-pointers.

Poeltl racked up nine points (4-5 FG, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds, four assists, one block and two steals in 29 minutes during Thursday's 115-107 loss to the Timberwolves.

This was a solid line for Poeltl as he continues to put his lingering back issue behind him. Over his last five games, he's producing third-round value in nine-category formats with averages of 11.4 points, 7.8 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 1.6 steals and 1.2 blocks in 27.8 minutes per contest.

Plumlee (reconditioning) is not available for Friday's game against the Clippers, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.

Plumlee has yet to be cleared to make his San Antonio debut as he continues to build up his conditioning. Even when cleared to play, he won't be guaranteed playing time.
