NBA Player News

Davis (foot) is probable for Friday's game against the Nets, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.

Davis is carrying a probable tag related to his left foot soreness, which is nothing new. Look for him to see his usual minutes against the Nets, barring a setback in warmups.

Williams is probable for Friday's game against the Bulls with left knee soreness.

It's always a concern when Williams is placed on the injury report, given his history, but the probable tag suggests that this is a mild issue. With Charlotte trading away Nick Richards, Williams could offer a higher floor in fantasy leagues from now on.

Collins (hip) will miss Friday's game against the Pelicans, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Collins will be sidelined for a seventh straight game and continues to be ruled out a day in advance of games. His next chance to play will be Monday against the Pelicans. Lauri Markkanen (back) remains out for the Jazz as well.

Lively (ankle) will not play Friday against the Thunder.

Lively will miss his second game in a row, and the fact that he's getting ruled out a day in advance suggests that he's not day-to-day at the moment. His next chance to play will be Monday against Charlotte. Daniel Gafford could continue to see a spike in fantasy appeal in the meantime after putting up 27 points, 12 rebounds and two blocks in 30 minutes against the Pelicans on Wednesday.

Bitadze (concussion) won't play in Friday's game versus the Celtics.

Bitadze will miss his second straight contest Friday due to a concussion. Wendell Carter should draw another start in his absence. Bitadze's next chance to suit up is Sunday's matchup with Denver.

Jokic (elbow) has been listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Heat.

After missing Wednesday's game against the Rockets, Jokic's status for Friday's matchup with the Heat is in doubt. The three-time NBA MVP was sorely missed against Houston, with Denver being blown out by 20 in Denver. If Jokic can't get back on the floor Friday, the Nuggets will likely start DeAndre Jordan for a second straight game. The veteran big man finished with zero points, eight rebounds, three blocks and a steal in 23 minutes against Miami.

Landale (personal) will not play Thursday versus the Kings.

Landale will miss a second game in a row Thursday, but this news doesn't have many fantasy implications with Steven Adams soaking up most of the backup center minutes lately.

Williams (illness) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game versus the Clippers.

Williams has been upgraded from doubtful to questionable Thursday after missing Portland's previous two contests due to an illness. If Wiliams is further upgraded to available, he should receive backup center minutes with Donovan Clingan (ankle) out.

Okongwu accumulated 14 points (5-9 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 3-5 FT), 13 rebounds, seven assists, one block and one steal in 27 minutes during Wednesday's 110-94 victory over the Bulls.

Okongwu is coming off back-to-back double-doubles while showing his passing skills in Wednesday's win over Chicago. The 23-year-old dished out a career-high seven assists against the Bulls as he proved he can fill up the stat sheet in more ways than just points and rebounds during a career year with the Hawks.

Wembanyama ended Wednesday's 129-115 loss to the Grizzlies with 13 points (5-19 FG, 3-10 3Pt), 12 rebounds, two assists, eight blocks and two steals in 37 minutes.

Wembanyama may have recorded eight blocks in Wednesday's loss to Memphis while also grabbing 12 rebounds, but he struggled offensively, scoring his fourth-lowest point total of the season with 13 points. The French import averages a career-high 24.7 points per game, and his stats have increased across the board. However, he occasionally struggles in point production, scoring less than 20 points 10 times this season for the Spurs.
