Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (nose) will play on Saturday versus OKC. The 24-year-old took an inadvertent elbow to the face a week ago, so he's been dealing with the repercussions ever since. However, it hasn't impacted his play on the court, considering he's scored at least 35 points in four of his previous five games.

Philadelphia 76ers center Mo Bamba (knee) won't play on Saturday versus the Washington Wizards. Even with Joel Embiid (knee) out of the equation, Bamba still hasn't received much action. He most recently logged 16 minutes on Friday night against the Atlanta Hawks, finishing with three points, three rebounds, three blocks, and a steal. It's unlikely Bamba's absence will impact many fantasy participants, although category managers could suffer as it relates to blocks. At any rate, Paul Reed should get all the minutes he can handle. There's also a good chance Kenyon Martin Jr. and Kenneth Lofton Jr. could join in on the fun.

Philadelphia 76ers guard Tyrese Maxey (illness) is listed as probable for Saturday's matchup with Washington. The All-Star wasn't feeling well on Friday night, so he wasn't in the lineup for the loss to Atlanta. Newly acquired Cameron Payne got the start in that one and had a fantastic debut with his new team, ending with 20 points, six assists, and two steals. Unfortunately, it appears Payne's streaming window was only open for a game, although he could remain a regular part of the rotation, at least until De'Anthony Melton (back) returns. Additionally, with Maxey likely back in the lineup, Tobias Harris, Kelly Oubre Jr., and Buddy Hield, shouldn't see as many scoring opportunities.

Houston Rockets center Alperen Sengun (back) will miss Saturday's game in Atlanta. The 21-year-old is burdened by a back issue, and he played just 21 minutes in Friday's three-point loss to the Toronto Raptors. Unfortunately, he struggled on the scoring end in that one, ending the night with just seven points. It will be Sengun's first absence of the 2023-24 campaign, and he'll now join Fred VanVleet (thigh) on the shelf. With the Rockets down, arguably their two top offensive options, Jabari Smith Jr., Jalen Green, and Amen Thompson should see more scoring chances. But it could open the door for Jeff Green and Cam Whitmore to earn a spot in fantasy lineups.

Portland Trail Blazers center Deandre Ayton (illness) is questionable for Saturday's game against New Orleans. He has already missed one game with an illness this week and could be absent again for the same reason. With Ayton playing only 34 of the team's 51 games, Portland's other bigs have had a chance to shine. Duop Reath (knee) has impressed the most, but he's also questionable for Saturday. Jabari Walker received a massive role on the frontcourt and played well in 43 minutes against Detroit on Thursday. He's set to benefit the most again if Ayton and Reath aren't available on Saturday.
