Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (elbow) will play on Saturday versus the Wizards. He was back on the injury report because of his nagging elbow injury. However, it won't keep him off the floor against one of the worst teams in the NBA. The three-time MVP had 28 points, seven rebounds, five assists, three steals, and one block in Friday's narrow win over the Lakers. Of course, Jokic is a must-start in redraft formats. But if this one gets out of hand, Jokic could spend more time on the bench, meaning DFS managers are taking a small gamble by including him in their lineups.

Toronto Raptors guard Immanuel Quickley (rest) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. The Raptors aren't playing for anything at this point, so they aren't going to risk the health of their young guard. Quickley played on Friday and looked solid with 20 points, five rebounds, and five assists in 25 minutes of action. The expectation is that Quickley will be back in action for the second leg of the back-to-back set on Monday. The absence of Quickely should mean that Jamal Shead and A.J. Lawson see increased playing time. Between the two, Lawson has been the more reliable of the two in terms of streaming appeal.

Portland Trail Blazers forward Jerami Grant (knee) is listed as doubtful ahead of Sunday's game against the Toronto Raptors. It appears Grant is in line to miss his third game in a row due to right knee tendinitis. The Blazers aren't exactly playing for much right now, so it's not shocking to see them continue to rest Grant for younger players. Shaedon Sharpe has stepped up and been a solid contributor for the Blazers lately. Sharpe figures to continue playing a larger role until Grant is able to get back on the court.

Toronto Raptors guard RJ Barrett (illness) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. Barrett appears to be dealing with a minor illness, so the team is going to wait and see how he feels on Sunday before making a final decision. Barrett looked a bit sluggish on Friday when he finished with 17 points and five assists across 25 minutes of action. His absence would probably mean more playing time for Jamison Battle, A.J. Lawson, and Jamal Shead. Between the three, Lawson is the best streaming option, but Battle might offer some low-end value because he has been playing big minutes over the last two games.

Cleveland Cavaliers forward De'Andre Hunter will start on Sunday versus Orlando. The 27-year-old is in the running to win the Sixth Man of the Year award. Yet, with Evan Mobley (foot) sidelined, Hunter will roll with the first five against the Magic, with the 2019 No. 4 overall pick averaging 18.3 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 50.0% shooting from deep in seven starts during the 2024-25 campaign, giving him added value for fantasy managers.
