  • Jordan Miller SG | LAC

    Clippers' Jordan Miller: Handling expanded role

    Miller totaled 10 points (5-7 FG), three rebounds and one assist across 24 minutes during Thursday's 94-88 loss to Minnesota.

    Once the Clippers get some of their star players back into the mix, Miller will have quite a bit to lose from a fantasy perspective. He's scored in double figures and logged at least 20 minutes in three consecutive games, but fantasy managers might want to take a wait-and-see approach with Los Angeles' injury report for Sunday's matchup against the Pelicans before adding Miller.

  • Isaiah Collier PG | UTA

    Jazz's Isaiah Collier: Continues to produce in first unit

    Collier finished with 11 points (5-11 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), one rebound, seven assists and one steal over 27 minutes during Thursday's 129-118 loss to the Pelicans.

    It doesn't sound like the Jazz are in a rush to bring Keyonte George (ankle) back, extending Collier's runway in the first unit. Collier has started nine of his last 10 outings, averaging 17.3 points, 9.7 assists, 2.8 rebounds and 2.3 steals in 33.7 minutes per game during this stretch.

  • Caleb Martin SF | DAL

    Mavericks' Caleb Martin: Listed questionable Friday

    Martin (back) is questionable for Friday's game against the Grizzlies.

    It looks like Martin came away from Thursday's loss to the Kings with back soreness. If the veteran swingman cannot play Friday, Max Christie and Brandon Williams would both have an even brighter fantasy outlook against Memphis.

  • Spurs' Mason Plumlee: Back with Spurs on one-year deal

    Plumlee agreed to a rest-of-season contract with the Spurs on Friday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

    Plumlee's 10-day deal with San Antonio expired Friday without him having made an appearance for the club while he worked to get reconditioned following a lengthy absence due to groin surgery. The Spurs had the option of re-signing Plumlee to a second 10-day deal, but they instead elected to bring him aboard for the remainder of the season to provide emergency depth in the frontcourt. The veteran center is unlikely to be a regular member of head coach Mitch Johnson's rotation.

  • Mavericks' Marvin Bagley: Out with neck sprain

    Bagley won't play Friday against Memphis due to a neck sprain.

    Bagley was able to play through the neck issue he suffered Thursday against the Kings, finishing with 10 points, nine rebounds and two blocks in 29 minutes. However, he will be held out for the second leg of this back-to-back set. Daniel Gafford and Dwight Powell will likely see higher workloads as a result.

  • Mavericks' Daniel Gafford: Cleared from injury report

    Gafford (ankle) is off the injury report for Friday's game against the Grizzlies.

    With Marvin Bagley (neck) out, Gafford could push for minutes near the 30s at center. Gafford has averaged 8.7 points, 6.6 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.4 blocks in 23.7 minutes per contest in his last 10 games, shooting 61.8 percent from the field.

  • Klay Thompson SG | DAL

    Mavericks' Klay Thompson: Unlikely to play Friday

    Thompson (rest) is doubtful for Friday's game against Memphis.

    The Mavericks are leaning towards giving the veteran a maintenance day for the second leg of this back-to-back set. With Thompson expected to sit, Brandon Williams, Miles Kelly and AJ Johnson could be more involved for Dallas.

  • PJ Washington PF | DAL

    Mavericks' P.J. Washington: Doubtful for Friday

    Washington (ankle) is doubtful for Friday's game against Memphis.

    It appears that the Mavericks will hold Washington out for the second game in a row. The team is going to be very shorthanded, and that means veteran Khris Middleton may play a key role at forward yet again.

  • Cooper Flagg SF | DAL

    Mavericks' Cooper Flagg: Remains out for Friday

    Flagg (foot) is out for Friday's game against the Grizzlies.

    Flagg will be sidelined for a sixth straight game and remains without a timetable to return. He can be considered doubtful for Sunday's game against the Thunder until Dallas provides an update on his recovery.

  • Kings' Maxime Raynaud: Continues to impress

    Raynaud closed Thursday's 130-121 win over the Mavericks with 22 points (8-13 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 6-6 FT), six rebounds, one block and one steal in 31 minutes.

    Raynaud is being heavily relied on by the Kings with so many injuries in the frontcourt. Over his last five games, he's been a top-60 player in nine-category formats with averages of 15.2 points, 10.6 rebounds and 2.2 assists.
