  • Jazz's Kyle Filipowski: Moves to starting role

    Filipowski is in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Mavericks, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.

    Filipowski enters the lineup after scoring a career-high 18 points in the loss to the Suns on Tuesday. This will be the rookie's fourth start of the campaign, and he averaged 7.0 points with 5.3 rebounds per game in his previous three.

  • Kings' Orlando Robinson: Not playing vs. Minnesota

    Robinson (knee) is out for Friday's game against Minnesota.

    Robinson has yet to suit up this season while recovering from a left MCL sprain. Even though he's been assigned to the Stockton Kings of the G League to resume his rehab process, he doesn't have a clear timetable to play for Sacramento at the NBA level. His next chance to play would come on Saturday against the Jazz.

  • Grizzlies' Brandon Clarke: Questionable to play Friday

    Clarke (toe) is questionable for Friday's game against the Warriors.

    Clarke is in danger of missing a second straight game due to this injury, and it comes as a bad time for the big man, who was coming off back-to-back starts before missing Wednesday's defeat against the Lakers. Clarke hasn't reached the 20-minute plateau in his last six outings, however, so even if he's available, his fantasy upside will be somewhat limited.

  • Jusuf Nurkic C | UTA

    Suns' Jusuf Nurkic: Iffy for Friday vs. OKC

    Nurkic is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Thunder due to a left ankle sprain.

    Nurkic missed Tuesday's win over Utah due to the lingering ankle injury, though he was able to suit up in the second leg of the back-to-back set in Wednesday's loss to the Kings. If the big man is unable to suit up Friday, Mason Plumlee will likely get the starting nod with Oso Ighodaro receiving an uptick in playing time off the bench.

  • Steven Adams C | HOU

    Rockets' Steven Adams: Listed questionable for Friday

    Adams (knee) is questionable for Friday's game against the Clippers.

    Adams didn't step on the court in Wednesday's win over the Clippers, but the extra day of rest might benefit him. The Rockets are being very cautious with the veteran big man, but if he's deemed available for Friday's game, he should slot in as Alperen Sengun's primary backup option ahead of Jock Landale.

  • Mo Bamba C | UTA

    Clippers' Mo Bamba: Won't play Friday

    Bamba (knee) is out for Friday's game against the Rockets.

    Bamba continues to deal with left knee soreness but will play in the G League with the San Diego Clippers during Thursday's game against the Valley Suns. As things stand now, the medical staff in Los Angeles hopes to have him ready to go for Sunday's contest against the Jazz, according to Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com.

  • Lakers' Anthony Davis: Probable for Friday

    Davis is probable for Friday's game against the Spurs due to left plantar fasciitis.

    Davis has been a regular in the injury report, but the probable tag suggests he'll end up playing, as has been the case in recent weeks. The star big man is averaging 30.2 points, 10.8 rebounds and 2.1 blocks per game this season.

  • Nikola Jokic C | DEN

    Nuggets' Nikola Jokic: Iffy for Friday vs. NOR

    Jokic is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Pelicans due to personal reasons.

    Jokic does not appear to be injured, though he is in jeopardy of missing his first game of the season Friday. If the three-time MVP is unable to play, Zeke Nnaji and DeAndre Jordan are both candidates for increased roles.

  • Cavaliers' Jarrett Allen: Likely to play Friday

    Allen (leg) is listed as probable for Friday's game versus the Bulls.

    Allen continues to deal with a left lower leg strain but was able to suit up in Cleveland's previous outing against Philadelphia. Allen recorded 11 points, 12 rebounds, one assist and one steal in 32 minutes against the 76ers.

  • Cody Zeller C | HOU

    Hawks' Cody Zeller: Remains away from team

    Zeller (personal) won't play in Friday's game versus the Wizards.

    Zeller has yet to play for Atlanta this season due to personal reasons. Until the team releases an update on the veteran big man, he can be considered week-to-week.
