Chicago Bulls forward Patrick Williams (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Saturday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. Williams is dealing with a right ankle sprain, so it wouldn't be shocking if he missed more than just this game. His absence won't have too big of an impact on the rotation. Dalen Terry figures to have a bigger role with Williams unavailable. However, Terry doesn't offer enough upside to warrant streaming in most fantasy formats.


Los Angeles Lakers forward Cam Reddish (knee) is expected to suit up for Saturday's game against the Utah Jazz. He was listed as questionable heading into this game due to left knee soreness. At this point, fantasy managers should consider Reddish as probable for this game. He should resume his role in the starting five, but he hasn't offered great fantasy value lately.


New Orleans Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram (Achilles) has been ruled out ahead of Saturday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. The Pelicans are going to be extremely shorthanded for this game. It's the second game of a back-to-back set, so hopefully these players will return after the day off. In the meantime, Herbert Jones should see a spike in usage with the Pelicans shorthanded on players. Also, Jose Alvarado, Dyson Daniels, and Naji Marshall should see more action on Saturday.


New Orleans Pelicans forward Zion Williamson won't play on Saturday against the Dallas Mavericks. Williamson entered Friday's loss to the Denver Nuggets with a right quad contusion, so he wasn't a lock to play. However, he was in the lineup and finished a game-high 30 points. But with the Pelicans playing the second of a back-to-back, the 23-year-old will get a night off to rest. That said, Brandon Ingram (Achilles), CJ McCollum (ankle), and Trey Murphy III (knee) are questionable, so others could be forced to step up on Saturday night, meaning guys like Herbert Jones, Larry Nance Jr., Dyson Daniels, and Jose Alvarado could see plenty of interest from fantasy managers for their streaming potential.


Orlando Magic forward Franz Wagner (ankle) remains sidelined for Saturday's game versus OKC. The third-year man out of Michigan has played well this season, averaging 20.9 points, 5.9 rebounds, and 3.9 assists, the highest marks of his career. However, he suffered a sprained ankle in the January 3 meeting with the Golden State Warriors, meaning he'll be sidelined for a fifth consecutive game on Saturday night. With Markelle Fultz (knee), Wendell Carter Jr. (knee), Gary Harris (calf), and Joe Ingles (ankle) unavailable, the door is open for others to benefit. Of course, Paolo Banchero, Jalen Suggs, and Cole Anthony should remain the team's top-scoring contributors. Yet, Moritz Wagner, Chuma Okeke, and Caleb Houstan, averaging 14.0 points as a starter this season, are worth streaming in all fantasy formats.
