Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) is questionable for Saturday's game with the Knicks at Madison Square Garden. But the biggest story surrounding the multi-time MVP isn't his health but whether he'll remain a Laker. Recent reports have surfaced suggesting he could be on his way out of Los Angeles. However, his agent, Rich Paul, shot down those rumors, stating, "LeBron won't be traded, and we aren't asking to be." Of course, anything is certainly possible, especially with Los Angeles struggling to remain in the playoff conversation. Yet, as long as James remains on the floor, which has been a challenge over the last few years, he should continue to be a valuable asset for any fantasy manager, no matter what uniform he's wearing moving ahead.

Washington Wizards guard Tyus Jones (ankle) won't return to Friday's matchup with the Washington Wizards. He struggled before the injury and ended the night with six points off 2-for-7 shooting. Washington's next contest is on Sunday versus the Los Angeles Clippers, and it's certainly possible that Jones will carry some kind of injury designation heading into that one. But if the ankle issue keeps him off the floor, Corey Kispert might enter the starting lineup, with Jordan Poole taking over most of the ball handling duties.

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.
