Philadelphia 76ers guard De'Anthony Melton (back) won't play on Thursday versus the Knicks. However, the 25-year-old will return to the court on Friday against the Cavaliers. Melton has been sidelined for over a month because of a back issue, so there's a good chance he'll be limited in his first game back. With Kyle Lowry also recently signing with the team, fantasy managers may want to consider other options before adding Melton to the starting lineup, at least until it's clear what his role will be with a reconfigured roster.

Detroit Pistons forward/center Isaiah Stewart will serve a three-game suspension for allegedly punching Suns forward Drew Eubanks on February 14. As a result, he won't play on Thursday versus the Pacers, and he'll also sit out meetings against the Magic and Knicks. The 22-year-old was out for eight games heading into the All-Star break because of a sprained ankle but had a shot to return on Thursday. However, Stewart's next chance to return to the floor will be Tuesday against the Chicago Bulls. In the meantime, Ausar Thompson and Simone Fontecchio should see more minutes, with both men worthy of starting consideration in any fantasy format.

Atlanta Hawks head coach Quin Snyder said on Thursday that center Onyeka Okongwu (toe) will be sidelined for the foreseeable future, ruling him out for Friday's game versus the Toronto Raptors. A sprained left big toe will keep Okongwu on the shelf on Friday, and the 23-year-old rim protector should be deemed out indefinitely. Reinforcements down low are on the way for the Hawks, however, as Clint Capela (adductor) will be active against the Raptors.

Atlanta Hawks head coach Quin Snyder says center Clint Capela (groin) will be back for Friday's game versus the Toronto Raptors, but the veteran big man will likely be on a minutes restriction. The Hawks have been without Capela since Feb. 3 due to his strained left groin, but he'll rejoin the lineup Friday. The 2020-21 rebounding champion is posting 11.5 points on 57.5% field-goal shooting, 10.6 rebounds, and 1.5 swats per game this season.

Miami Heat guard Terry Rozier (knee) is not ready to play on Friday against the New Orleans Pelicans, but he practiced on Thursday without a brace on his sprained right knee. Monday's meeting with the Sacramento Kings marks Rozier's next opportunity to return. Covering his last three games, Duncan Robinson is averaging 19.3 points, 4.7 three-pointers on 60.9% shooting from deep, 3.3 assists, and 1.0 steals in 30.6 minutes and is worth streaming on Friday.
