New York Knicks guard Quentin Grimes (knee) won't play on Saturday versus the Lakers. With Immanuel Quickley now in Toronto, Grimes has received more work. He averaged 9.4 points in January, his highest-scoring output of the year. However, he has been battling a sprained knee, keeping him off the floor on Thursday versus the Indiana Pacers. Miles McBride got more involved in that one, ending the night with 16 points and two steals, making him worth considering as a streaming option against Los Angeles.


Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) is listed as questionable ahead of Saturday's game against the New York Knicks. The veteran forward was forced to miss Thursday's game due to an ankle injury. Jarred Vanderbilt (foot) drew the start in his absence, but Vanderbilt wasn't able to make it through the game without getting injured. Now, Vanderbilt is expected to miss time, which means the Lakers could be thin at the forward spot for this game. Rui Hachimura and Jaxson Hayes could be asked to play big roles if James sits out on Saturday.


Chicago Bulls point guard Coby White (ankle) is considered questionable versus the Kings. White has had a breakout season, averaging a career-high 19.0 points, 5.1 assists, and 4.7 rebounds while shooting 39.1% from deep. The Bulls can't afford to be without him, considering the team will continue to operate without Zach LaVine (foot). But if White can't suit up, Alex Caruso and Ayo Dosunmu could see a significant uptick in fantasy production.

Dallas Mavericks center Dereck Lively II (nose) will have surgery on Monday. The 19-year-old has played well in his first season in the NBA, averaging 9.2 points, 7.9 rebounds, and 1.4 blocks. Unfortunately, he suffered a nasal fracture during Monday's showdown with the Orlando Magic, so he'll undergo a procedure to correct the issue. The rookie is questionable ahead of Saturday's matchup with the Bucks. But with Maxi Kleber (nose) carrying the identical designation, Richaun Holmes, who had a double-double on Wednesday against the Minnesota Timberwolves, could be worth considering for streaming purposes, even if it's only for a few games.


San Antonio Spurs forward/center Zach Collins (ankle) will suit up for Friday's meeting with the New Orleans Pelicans. The 26-year-old has averaged a career-high 12.2 points with 5.7 rebounds and 3.2 assists. However, he's missed plenty of time this season because of various ailments, with an ankle injury keeping him off the floor the last three games. But Collins is good to go against the Pels, and with Keldon Johnson (elbow) sidelined, he could be more productive than usual.
