Charlotte Hornets guard LaMelo Ball (ankle) is questionable for Saturday's game versus the visiting 76ers. The Hornets were in action on Friday night against the San Antonio Spurs, with Ball logging 32 minutes and finishing with 28 points. But the 22-year-old is dealing with soreness in his right ankle, the same one he injured at the end of November. Nonetheless, if Ball isn't on the floor for this one, Terry Rozier will presumably absorb most of the ball-handling responsibilities, increasing his usage rate. At the same time, Rozier, along with Miles Bridges, should also get most of the scoring opportunities if Ball isn't in the lineup, with Brandon Miller battling for leftover scraps.

Houston Rockets forward Tari Eason (leg) will miss a 10th consecutive game on Saturday against Utah. He was ruled out for one-to-two weeks on Jan. 10 but still isn't game-ready. The team is trying to manage a left lower leg injury with him, and Rockets head coach Ime Udoka said on Friday that he wants Eason to be pain-free when he returns. Eason is one of the top defensive players on the Rockets roster and has averaged close to 22 minutes a night. With him out of the picture, Cam Whitmore has entered the rotation. He's averaging 10.9 points and 3.8 rebounds for the month but has been fairly inconsistent with his performances.

Oklahoma City Thunder guard/forward Luguentz Dort (illness) is in danger of missing a second consecutive game, as the team considers him questionable for Saturday's matchup against Minnesota. Dort missed his second game of the season Thursday versus Utah due to an illness, and he's still trying to get over the bug. Cason Wallace jumped into the starting five on Thursday and will likely remain in the role if Dort can't return versus the Timberwolves. The Kentucky product had one of the best games of his young career with a 16-point effort across 32 minutes on Thursday. However, he's set to face the No. 1 ranked defense on Saturday, and it will likely be difficult to repeat the performance.

Chicago Bulls forward Patrick Williams (ankle) is regarded as questionable for Saturday's home game against Memphis. He returned from a two-game absence against Toronto on Thursday, but it looks like Williams could land back on the shelf for the weekend due to a right ankle sprain. He had a solid 12-point outing in 23 minutes off the bench with 5-for-9 shooting against the Raptors. Dalen Terry should get extra work in Williams' absence on Saturday, but he hasn't done anything to warrant attention from fantasy managers.

Chicago Bulls center Andre Drummond (back) is considered probable for Saturday's matchup against the Grizzlies. The big man has been on the injury report with a lower back spasm for a while, but Drummond hasn't missed any games this season. It's safe to assume he'll be good to go on Saturday. The veteran has done well as Chicago's backup center, but Drummond is only a deep league asset in his current role. He logged just 9:42 of action last time out against Toronto.
