Sengun is questionable to play Friday versus the Pelicans due to low back pain.

Friday's contest will be the fourth game in six days for the Rockets, and with a matchup against the 19-44 Pelicans, the Rockets' medical staff may opt to give Sengun a rest day. If he is forced to the sidelines, Clint Capela would have a chance to start, and Kevin Durant could see some increased playmaking responsibilities.

Finney-Smith (ankle) isn't listed on the injury report ahead of Friday's game against New Orleans.

Finney-Smith sat out of Wednesday's clash for injury management purposes, but he'll be back in action Friday evening. The Florida product is averaging 4.0 points, 3.2 rebounds and 1.5 assists over his last six appearances, all as a reserve.

McGowens is out for Friday's game against the Rockets with a fractured right toe.

The Pelicans are yet to offer up a timeline for McGowens' return to the floor, so the guard remains day-to-day. Herbert Jones is a candidate to receive heavy playing time and is worthy of streaming consideration in most fantasy leagues.

Highsmith (knee) will play Thursday against the Pacers, Amanda Pflugrad of 3TV Phoenix reports.

Highsmith was initially added to the team's injury report due to right knee injury management, but he's since received clearance to suit up for Thursday's action. The 29-year-old has logged 21 and 13 minutes in his first two games of the season and could see a slight uptick in chances against Indiana with Grayson Allen (knee) downgraded to out.

Allen is out for Thursday's game against Indiana due to right knee injury management, Amanda Pflugrad of 3TV Phoenix reports.

Allen is sitting out the front end of this back-to-back set, which should give him a decent chance of suiting back up for Friday's tilt in Toronto versus the Raptors. Royce O'Neale should see a rise in playing time Thursday and is worth streaming in the majority of fantasy leagues.

Proctor (quad) will remain on the inactive list for Friday's game in Dallas.

Proctor is set to sit out his fourth consecutive game, and it's not a great sign that he continues to get ruled out a full day in advance of tipoff. That said, Proctor has been a negligible part of the Cavs' rotation this season, so his playing status won't impact fantasy leagues.

Strus (foot) is out for Friday's game against Dallas.

Strus is ramping up for his season debut, logging multiple practice sessions with the G League's Cleveland Charge, but he's not yet ready for game action due to offseason left foot surgery. His next chance to make his first appearance of the campaign arrives in Cleveland on Sunday, when the Cavaliers meet the Mavericks once again.

Post (foot) is questionable for Friday's game against Minnesota.

Post is in danger of missing a second straight game while dealing with a foot injury. The team figures to monitor him closely during shootaround and leading up to warmups before issuing another update on his availability for Friday.

Curry (back) is not listed on the injury report ahead of Friday's meeting with the Timberwolves.

Curry skipped Tuesday's loss to the Bulls, with that game coming as the second in a back-to-back set, but he'll be available to play Friday. Curry is averaging 9.0 points and 1.3 triples per game this season.

Melton is questionable for Friday's game against Minnesota due to left adductor injury management.

Melton is in danger of missing a second straight contest with the issue. With Stephen Curry's (knee) void in the lineup already freeing up plenty of usage and playing time, Gary Payton, Will Richard and Pat Spencer would all see more involvement in the backcourt if Melton is unable to give it a go Friday.
