Philadelphia 76ers center Mo Bamba (knee) is listed as questionable for Saturday's contest against Denver. The seven-footer could be out for a seventh consecutive game. However, Bamba practiced on Friday, which is an encouraging sign regarding his potential comeback. Philadelphia could use some extra help around the rim against Nikola Jokic. If he's ready to return, Bamba will eat into Paul Reed's minutes. He's averaged a modest 4.3 points and 3.0 rebounds in 24 appearances for the 76ers.


Portland Trail Blazers forward Jerami Grant (back) will not return to Friday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. Malcolm Brogdon (knee) was ruled out heading into this one. Even worse, Scoot Henderson (quadriceps) also exited after just six minutes of action. But with Grant now dealing with back soreness, he might not be in the lineup when the Blazers meet the Chicago Bulls on Sunday. If that happens, Toumani Camara may take his spot in the rotation. Camara is averaging 7.6 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 1.1 steals in 29 starts. While the 23-year-old hasn't been the most proficient three-point shooter, his ability on the defensive end makes him an adequate streaming option if Grant can't suit up against Chicago.

Portland Trail Blazers guard Scoot Henderson (quadriceps) won't return to Friday's meeting with the San Antonio Spurs. He suffered a left quad contusion and was initially labeled as questionable. However, to no surprise, he was ruled out for the remainder of the contest. The rookie would go on to finish with only six points in six minutes. Henderson has played well enough in his first year in the National Basketball Association, averaging 12.4 points, 4.7 assists, and 3.0 rebounds. However, he's shot a rough 29.1% from deep and has missed time for various reasons. With this in mind, Henderson could sit out a few games, starting on Sunday versus the Chicago Bulls. If Malcolm Brogdon (knee) doesn't return for that one, the Blazers will be shorthanded in the backcourt, meaning Anfernee Simons could get more minutes than usual. At the same time, Matisse Thybulle and Rayan Rupert might get extra work, with the former being a more practical fantasy option.


Philadelphia 76ers guard Tyrese Maxey (ankle) is questionable ahead of Saturday's showdown with the Denver Nuggets. The 23-year-old is coming off a 22-point outing on Thursday against the Indiana Pacers. However, he could miss Saturday's contest because of a sprained left ankle. With Tobias Harris (illness) also questionable, it's anyone's guess what the starting lineup will look like. But it's reasonable to assume Patrick Beverley would remain with the first five, keeping him in the streaming conversation. Of course, Joel Embiid would likely take on more of the scoring load if Maxey isn't in the equation.


Philadelphia 76ers forward Tobias Harris (illness) is questionable for Saturday's meeting with the Denver Nuggets. The veteran has battled an illness, keeping him off the floor for Thursday's matchup against the Indiana Pacers. As a result, Patrick Beverley entered the starting lineup, although he struggled, finishing with just four points. At any rate, Harris practiced in a limited capacity on Friday, so he's moving in the right direction. But if he misses another game, Beverley should remain in the streaming conversation. At the same time, Kenyon Martin Jr., who amassed 11 points and two steals in 31 minutes versus Indy, will see plenty of attention from DFS participants.
