Golden State Warriors

Golden State Warriors forward Jonathan Kuminga (toe) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Toronto Raptors. Kuminga came into Friday's game with the same issue, but managed to log in 36 minutes during that contest. It's worth noting that Kuminga was probable ahead of that game, but has since then been downgraded to questionable. His absence would mean that Andrew Wiggins would likely move into the starting five. A move to the starting unit would give Wiggins greater streaming appeal.

Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green (suspension) was reinstated by the league on Saturday. The veteran sat out 12 games, during which he underwent counseling and routine "progress meetings" with the team and league representatives. ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski reported it will take him "approximately a week to ramp up," so fantasy managers may not see him back in the lineup until next Saturday's meeting with the Milwaukee Bucks. Without question, the 33-year-old has been a valuable fantasy option throughout his career. He's averaged 9.7 points, 5.8 assists, and 5.5 rebounds during the 2023-24 campaign. However, with Chris Paul (hand) out of commission for the forseeable future, Green should benefit in all statistical areas.

Golden State Warriors forward Jonathan Kuminga (toe) is listed as probable for Friday's game against the Detroit Pistons. The young forward has reportedly said that he's not happy with his current role on the team. Kuminga sat out the final 18 minutes of Thursday's loss to the Denver Nuggets. The expectation was that he'd have a bigger role with Draymond Green suspended, but that hasn't really happened. Fantasy managers should be able to find a better option even if he does play on Friday.

Philadelphia 76ers guard De'Anthony Melton (back) won't play in Friday's Atlantic Division showdown versus the New York Knicks. After logging no activity in practice on Thursday, Melton will miss his second night in a row due to lumbar spine soreness. Philadelphia takes on the visiting Utah Jazz on Saturday, marking the 23-year-old glue guy and lockdown defender's next possible return date. Kelly Oubre Jr. is the most likely candidate to draw the start for the Sixers on Friday, and he's averaging 13.1 points, 4.5 rebounds, 2.1 three-pointers, and 1.3 steals in 12 games with the first unit during his first year in Philly.

Philadelphia 76ers head coach Nick Nurse says guard De'Anthony Melton (back) missed Thursday's practice. Teammates Furkan Korkmaz (illness) and Robert Covington (knee) were also unavailable, but Melton, who is nursing lumbar spine soreness, is certainly the most important name for fantasy purposes. It puts Melton on the wrong side of questionable for Friday versus the visiting New York Knicks, with a short turnaround looming on Saturday when the Sixers host the Utah Jazz. The 23-year-old three-and-D player is far more useful in category leagues, logging 12.1 points, 3.2 assists, 2.1 three-pointers, and 1.7 steals per game, and he is integral to Philly's perimeter defense. If Melton can't play on Friday, Kelly Oubre Jr. would figure to share the starting backcourt alongside Tyrese Maxey as he did on Tuesday.
