San Antonio Spurs big man Zach Collins (ankle) is on the injury report with a questionable tag heading into Friday's game against the Hornets. The 26-year-old's sprained ankle has kept him sidelined since December 29th, but he is expected to return to action on Friday. With Victor Wembanyama (rest) out, Collins is likely to get the start and could see a pretty big role in his return. He's averaged just under 25 minutes a game without Wembanyama this year, and he should see similar minutes in a good matchup against Charlotte.


Denver Nuggets forward Aaron Gordon (shoulder) gets a probable tag heading into Friday's game against the Celtics. After fully recovering from a heel injury, the 28-year-old is back on the injury report for a shoulder injury this time, but he should be all good to go for their game tonight. Gordon has played a major role as a cutter off the ball for Nikola Jokic, resulting in some very solid fantasy output. He looks to be an above-average option ahead of a big game against the Celtics.


Brooklyn Nets forward Mikal Bridges (shin) is listed as probable to play on the NBA Injury Report and should be available to play Friday's game at the Lakers. The 27-year-old injured his shin in the team's loss at Portland Wednesday and had to exit the game. After returning to the game and earning a probable designation, the former Sun appears good to go for Friday's game. Barring any pregame setbacks, Bridges should be in for his regular starting role with solid minutes and usage.


Los Angeles Lakers big man Anthony Davis (Achilles) is expected to play on Friday at home against the Nets. He's currently listed on the injury report as probable, and he is likely to suit up and start barring any pregame setbacks. Davis has been questionable or probable for most games this year but has only missed two games all season. A prime candidate for 35 or more minutes and a 30-point double-double, the Lakers' star belongs in all lineups if he ends up playing Friday.


Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) is officially questionable to play in the team's Friday night game at home against the Nets. Despite typically entering games with the questionable tag, the Lakers' star has only missed four games this year and should have a good chance to suit up. With the Lakers being off last night and tomorrow, James likely will give it a go on Friday. If he doesn't end up playing, Jarred Vanderbilt and Rui Hachimura would most likely step in for expanded minutes.
