Toronto Raptors forward Scottie Barnes (hand) is listed as questionable ahead of Friday's game against the Utah Jazz. Barnes sat out of Wednesday's contest after aggravating his right hand injury. His absence resulted in Jamison Battle, Jared Rhoden, and Garrett Temple seeing more playing time in the rotation. Between the three, Rhoden is looking like the best fantasy option after finishing with 25 points and 12 rebounds during Wednesday's game.


Dallas Mavericks forward P.J. Washington (ankle) is listed as questionable ahead of Friday's game against the Houston Rockets. Washington has missed the last six games and is in danger of missing another contest due to an ankle injury. His absence has resulted in Naji Marshall and Kessler Edwards seeing more playing time in the rotation. Marshall has been on a hot streak recently and is worth rostering in most 12-team formats right now. Edwards is worth a look as well, but is more of a low-end streaming choice. Both players would likely lose value if Washington is upgraded to available for this contest.


Cleveland Cavaliers forward De'Andre Hunter (illness) is listed as probable ahead of Friday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. Hunter appears to be ready to get back in action following a one-game absence due to an illness. The Cavs are going to be without Donovan Mitchell (groin), so Hunter could be asked to take on a bigger role on Friday. The 27-year-old is worth a look as a streaming option, assuming he's cleared to play on Friday.


Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (groin) has been ruled out ahead of Friday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. Mitchell will miss his second game in a row due to left groin soreness. The Cavs are in good enough position playoff-wise that they don't need to push Mitchell out there if he isn't 100 percent healthy. Isaac Okoro figures to remain in the starting five for at least one more game. He finished with six points and five rebounds across 32 minutes on Tuesday. It doesn't appear that the extended playing time is going to make Okoro a viable fantasy option.


Denver Nuggets forward Aaron Gordon (ankle) is listed as questionable ahead of Friday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. Gordon has missed the last two games and sat out five of the last seven contests. The absence of Gordon has given Peyton Watson, Russell Westbrook, and Zeke Nnaji more playing time in the rotation. Westbrook has taken advantage of it with a handful of solid fantasy performances over the last few games. He would once again be a popular fantasy option if Gordon is unable to play on Friday. Fantasy managers will need to check back on Friday for another update.
