Toronto Raptors guard RJ Barrett (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Friday's game against the Houston Rockets. This marks the second game in a row that Barrett has missed due to left knee swelling. His absence means that Dennis Schroder figures to once again move into the starting unit. Last game, Schroder finished with 16 points, three rebounds, 10 assists, two steals and a block in 34 minutes. He's well worth a look as a streaming option with Barrett sidelined for at least one more game.

Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (knee) will play during Friday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. As expected, Cunningham will suit up after being listed as probable earlier in the day. He played 31 minutes during his last game and figures to play a big role once again. He finished with 19 points, two rebounds, seven assists, two steals during that contest. Fantasy managers should make sure to get Cunningham back in their lineups for Friday. He has been playing well lately and is showing no signs of slowing down.

Memphis Grizzlies guard Luke Kennard (knee) and Derrick Rose (hamstring) are expected to suit up for Friday's game against the Golden State Warriors. Kennard will make his way back to the court after a three-game absence. Rose is available for the third time since the middle of December. Both players are going to play on a minutes restriction during Friday's game. Scotty Pippen Jr. and Jacob Gilyard figure to have decreased roles with Kennard and Rose back in the picture. However, the Grizzlies are banged up enough that Pippen should still have a significant role in the rotation. Fantasy managers should be cautious about putting Kennard or Rose in their lineups with them being limited on Friday.

Toronto Raptors center Jakob Poeltl (ankle) will return for Friday's meeting with the Houston Rockets. The 26-year-old hasn't played in nearly a month, missing time because of an ankle injury. He'll likely be limited in his first game back, so his DFS ceiling isn't as high as usual. But Poeltl should be inserted back into all fantasy lineups, with Thaddeus Young expected to see considerably fewer minutes.

Indiana Pacers guard Bennedict Mathurin (toe) will suit up for Friday's game against the Sacramento Kings. Mathurin will return to the lineup after missing Friday's game due to a toe sprain. Ben Sheppard played 22 minutes off the bench, but is expected to have a reduced role with Mathurin back in the picture. Sheppard isn't consistent enough to trust in fantasy formats right now. Fantasy managers can get Mathurin back in their lineups ahead of Friday's slate.
