  • Julius Randle PF | MIN

    Timberwolves' Julius Randle: Won't play Friday

    Randle (hand) is out for Friday's game against the Rockets.

    Randle will be sidelined for his second straight contest after failing to shed his questionable tag. Kyle Anderson could step into an increased role with this news.

  • Jaylon Tyson SF | CLE

    Cavaliers' Jaylon Tyson: Upgraded to probable

    Tyson (toe) has been upgraded to probable for Friday's game against the Hawks.

    Tyson is trending toward ending a 10-game absence Friday. With the Cavaliers resting multiple players, Tyson should have a clear path to 20-plus minutes if he gets the green light, though it's safe to assume he'll have some restrictions after a lengthy layoff.

  • Chucky Hepburn PG | TOR

    Raptors' Chucky Hepburn: Another absence coming

    Hepburn (knee) is out for Friday's game against the Knicks, Steve Popper of Newsday reports.

    Hepburn is still recovering from right knee surgery he underwent Jan. 8 to repair a torn meniscus. There's been no indication he's close to a return.

  • Raptors' Collin Murray-Boyles: Won't play Friday

    Murray-Boyles (neck) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Knicks, Steve Popper of Newsday reports.

    Murray-Boyles posted 17 points (7-7 FG, 3-3 FT), eight rebounds, one assist, two steals and one block over 22 minutes in Thursday's 128-114 victory over Miami, but he'll take a seat for the second half of Toronto's back-to-back set. In his absence, Sandro Mamukelashvili should see a few more minutes behind Jakob Poeltl.

  • Raptors' Trayce Jackson-Davis: Out again Friday

    Jackson-Davis (illness) is out for Friday's game against the Knicks, Steve Popper of Newsday reports.

    Jackson-Davis is not a usual rotation player for Toronto, so his absence doesn't carry many fantasy implications. He's made 13 appearances since the All-Star break, playing double-digit minutes only once.

  • Raptors' Immanuel Quickley: Resting Friday

    Quickley won't play in Friday's game against the Knicks due to right foot injury management, Steve Popper of Newsday reports.

    After missing eight consecutive contests while recovering from plantar fasciitis, Quickley has appeared in two straight games, including a 23-minute outing during Thursday's win over Miami. However, as expected, he'll take a seat for the second half of Toronto's back-to-back set for maintenance purposes. In Quickley's absence, Jamal Shead and Ja'Kobe Walter will be candidates to take on increased roles out of the backcourt.

  • Mavericks' Dwight Powell: Iffy for Friday

    Powell (hip) is questionable for Friday's game against the Spurs.

    Like Marvin Bagley (shoulder), Powell was a late addition to the injury report. If one or both players end up sitting out, the Mavericks may need to rely heavily on Moussa Cisse.

  • Mavericks' Marvin Bagley: Questionable for Friday

    Bagley (shoulder) is questionable for Friday's game against the Spurs.

    Bagley was a late addition to the injury report. The Mavericks are going to be very shorthanded Friday, and Moussa Cisse could be asked to step into an expanded role if Bagley is unavailable.

  • Tyler Kolek PG | NY

    Knicks' Tyler Kolek: Iffy for Friday

    Kolek (oblique) is questionable for Friday's game against Toronto.

    Kolek remains day-to-day after missing the front end of this back-to-back set. With Miles McBride resting, Kolek could see some minutes as the third-string point guard Friday.

  • Knicks' Miles McBride: Won't play Friday

    McBride (pelvis) is out for Friday's game against Toronto.

    McBride will sit out the second leg of this back-to-back set for injury management. Tyler Kolek (oblique) is questionable, so Jose Alvarado could pick up some extra run Friday.
