New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby (elbow) has been ruled out ahead of Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. This marks the fourth game in a row that Anunoby has missed due to right elbow inflammation. His absence means that Josh Hart and Precious Achiuwa should remain in the starting five. Both have stepped up lately and provided top-100 fantasy value with the Knicks shorthanded. That being said, Hart and Achiuwa are looking like must-have fantasy options until the Knicks get healthy.


Cleveland Cavaliers center Jarrett Allen (ankle) is going through his pregame routine with the intent to play during Saturday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. Allen was able to go through pregame shootaround earlier in the day, indicating that he'd likely suit up. If active, Allen would resume his role in the starting five and would shift Dean Wade back to the bench. Fantasy managers should double-check before game time, but Allen should play, barring any pregame setbacks.


Sacramento Kings forward Sasha Vezenkov (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Saturday's game against the Chicago Bulls. Vezenkov was considered a game-time decision coming into this game due to a right ankle issue. The Kings have ultimately decided to have Vezenkov sit out this game. Kessler Edwards and Chris Duarte should have increased roles with Vezenkov on the sideline. Between the two, Duarte is the better streaming option for Saturday's slate.


Atlanta Hawks guard Dejounte Murray (back) is available ahead of Saturday's game against the Golden State Warriors. This is good news after Murray was listed as questionable coming into this game due to back issues. Despite that, Murray will suit up and there is no word on Murray being restricted. The assumption is that Murray is going to have his normal role in the rotation. Fantasy managers can feel comfortable putting Murray back in their lineups on Saturday.


Atlanta Hawks forward De'Andre Hunter (knee) is listed as questionable ahead of Saturday's game against the Golden State Warriors. The Hawks are considering Hunter as questionable after he sat out of Friday's game. The expectation is that Hunter will play Saturday after resting his right knee the night prior. The Hawks are without Saddiq Bey (ankle) for Saturday's game. That means, Hunter would likely slide into the starting five, assuming he's available for this game. He'd have increased fantasy value if able to suit up.
