Philadelphia 76ers forward Tobias Harris (ankle) suffered a sprained ankle late in their game against the Milwaukee Bucks on Thursday and is now considered questionable for Saturday night. The veteran wing planted awkwardly and fell in pain, but he was able to stay in the game and finish it out. The team will likely have him test out the ankle during shootaround and warmups before making a judgment on his game status. Over the past few games, Harris hasn't been shooting particularly well, and he's even disappeared to the tune of two points against the New York Knicks. If he has to miss any time, Buddy Hield would likely move into the starting five while Nicolas Batum and Kenyon Martin Jr. will see added minutes.

Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (knee) is listed as questionable for Friday's matchup against Miami. He's on the injury report with left knee injury management, which puts Cunningham's run of 15 consecutive appearances under a threat. Jaden Ivey's usage should receive a boost without Cunningham, while Marcus Sasser could land in a starter's role. The 23-year-old rookie has put together a few good fantasy lines in outings with 30-plus minutes this season, although a matchup against the Heat is a tough one, as Jimmy Butler's crew has a top-10 defense in the league.

Milwaukee Bucks guard Malik Beasley (back) won't play on Thursday against Philadelphia. He logged 25 minutes in Tuesday's loss to the Sacramento Kings and was added to the injury report heading into this one because of back spasms. With Khris Middleton (ankle) out for over a month, Beasley has been getting more work, making him a viable fantasy commodity. However, now that he's out, Pat Connaughton, averaging 10.5 points and 7.5 assists in two starts this season, will make a fine value addition to DFS lineups.

Milwaukee Bucks guard Malik Beasley (back) is listed as questionable ahead of Thursday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. The Bucks are likely going to wait and see how Beasley feels closer to tip-off. If Beasley is forced to sit, Pat Connaughton and Patrick Beverley would likely be asked to play bigger roles. Between the two, Beverley is the better streaming choice between the two players.

Philadelphia 76ers center Paul Reed will return to the starting five on Wednesday versus Memphis. Reed has been Philadelphia's main starting center since Joel Embiid (knee) dropped out of the lineup, but 76ers head coach Nick Nurse had preferred to run Mo Bamba with the starters in the previous three games. Bamba hasn't done much in the elevated role, and now it's time for Reed to boost his stock again. The 2021 G League MVP has recorded 10.0 points, 7.4 rebounds, and 1.3 blocks in the first unit this season. However, he faces a difficult challenge on Wednesday against Jaren Jackson Jr., the NBA's reigning Defensive Player of the Year. Nicolas Batum will also be back among the 76ers starters on Wednesday.
