According to Kevin Chouinard of Hawks.com, forward Saddiq Bey (ankle) won't play in Saturday's matchup with the Golden State Warriors. The veteran sprained his ankle during Friday's win over the Phoenix Suns, ending his night after 16 minutes. But with De'Andre Hunter (knee) and Dejounte Murray (back) questionable entering the contest, it's anyone's guess who would benefit on the scoring end outside of Trae Young, Bogdan Bogdanovic, Jalen Johnson, and Onyeka Okongwu.


Philadelphia 76ers forward Tobias Harris (illness) is questionable for Saturday's game against Brooklyn. The veteran is coming off a strong performance, amassing 28 points, seven assists, and five boards in the narrow win over the Utah Jazz on Thursday. Unfortunately, he's now battling an illness. With Joel Embiid (knee) out of commission, Tyrese Maxey, who had 51 points against the Jazz, would be a lock for all fantasy lineups if Harris doesn't suit up. Additionally, Kelly Oubre Jr. would likely see an uptick on the scoring end.


According to Chris Fedor of The Plain Dealer, Cleveland Cavaliers center Jarrett Allen (ankle) participated in shootaround on Saturday morning. The former Net stepped up in a big way, while Darius Garland and Evan Mobley were sidelined. However, it could be his turn to miss time after spraining his ankle during Thursday's matchup with the Memphis Grizzlies, ending his night after just 21 minutes. For now, Allen remains questionable against Victor Wembanyama and the Spurs. But with Mobley still not ready to return to his usual workload, Damian Jones and Georges Niang might get more minutes.


Chicago Bulls guard/forward Zach LaVine (ankle) is expected to miss at least one more week of action. He will sit out a seventh consecutive contest on Saturday against Sacramento. Ayo Dosunmu has taken on a big workload during LaVine's absence, while Alex Caruso has also benefited from the situation. The two could even get a further boost on Saturday, along with Jevon Carter, as Coby White (ankle) is considered questionable and might sit out his first game of the season.


Philadelphia 76ers guard De'Anthony Melton (back) is targeting Monday's matchup against Dallas for his return. He's been out of the lineup since Jan. 12 and will miss an 11th consecutive game when Philadelphia faces Brooklyn on Saturday. Kelly Oubre Jr. has enjoyed a regular starter's role during Melton's absence, with Patrick Beverley also benefitting from the situation. Oubre Jr. has proven himself to be a productive player even in a bench role, so Melton's return shouldn't affect him much, but Beverley's chances for extra playing time will be hampered with a fully healthy backcourt.
