According to Shams Charania of The Athletic, Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine (ankle) is expected to miss one-to-two weeks. The veteran sprained his right ankle during Thursday's matchup against the Toronto Raptors and underwent testing on Friday. Unfortunately, the news wasn't good, so Chicago will be without one of its top offensive contributors for the foreseeable future. Nonetheless, with LaVine's name mentioned in several trade scenarios, it's possible he may have already played his final game with the Bulls. That said, Ayo Dosunmu (shoulder), averaging 7.8 points, 3.7 boards, and 1.2 steals in six starts this season, is worth adding to any fantasy roster. However, the 24-year-old isn't always the most consistent fantasy producer.

New York Knicks guard Josh Hart (knee) is questionable ahead of Saturday's matchup with the Raptors. He wasn't available for Thursday's narrow win over the Washington Wizards because of a left knee injury. However, each of the Knicks' starters logged at least 38 minutes, with Quentin Grimes absorbing 19 minutes from off the bench. If Hart misses his second consecutive contest, expect head coach Tom Thibodeau to continue to give his starting lineup plenty of minutes, meaning anyone on the bench could have a tough time doing anything relevant for fantasy managers.

According to Lakers head coach Darvin Ham, forward Rui Hachimura (calf) will remain on a minutes restriction on Friday night versus the Nets. The former Wizard missed five games to begin 2024 but has been in uniform for the Lakers' last three contests. While his production hasn't been terrible, he's logged fewer than 22 minutes in each game since returning. That said, his minutes have steadily increased, so he could see some more work versus Brooklyn. However, Hachimura has a way to go before becoming a must-start fantasy option in any format.

Brooklyn Nets guard Mikal Bridges (shin) is available for Friday's meeting with the Lakers. He was listed as probable because of a right shin contusion. However, it will take more than that to keep the league's most durable player out of the lineup. The 2018 No. 10 overall pick is averaging 21.4 points this season, nearly five less than the 2022-23 campaign. However, Bridges should remain starting in every fantasy format imaginable, considering he's starting to pick things up in all statistical categories.

Charlotte Hornets center Mark Williams (back) remains out on Friday against the Spurs. It appears the trend will continue moving forward, with head coach Steve Clifford reporting that the 22-year-old isn't nearing a return. Williams has nearly averaged a double-double this season. However, until Williams is ready to return, Nick Richards (ankle) should continue to fill most of the void in the middle. But with Richards also questionable against San Antonio, JT Thor and Nathan Mensah could see enough work to warrant streaming in deeper fantasy setups.
