Miami Heat forward Nikola Jovic was suspended by the league for one game for his involvement in the scuffle during Friday's matchup against the Pelicans. Jovic, the 2022 No. 27 overall pick, has averaged 5.8 and 4.1 rebounds this season. Besides his lack of statistical contributions, he's bounced back and forth between the G League. As a result, Jovic's absence doesn't mean much for fantasy managers.

Miami Heat center Thomas Bryant will serve a three-game suspension for his involvement in a melee during Friday's meeting with the New Orleans Pelicans. The 26-year-old has averaged 4.2 points and 3.1 rebounds this season. However, along with his lack of production, he has routinely been held off the floor by head coach Erik Spoelstra. As a result, Bryant's suspension won't have much of an impact on fantasy managers, considering he hasn't done much in any statistical area this season.

According to Chris Haynes of TNT, New Orleans Pelicans guard Jose Alvarado will get a three-game suspension. During Friday's matchup between the Pelicans and Heat, several players from both clubs were involved in a scuffle, resulting in the league also handing down suspensions to Jimmy Butler, Naji Marshall, Thomas Bryant, and Nikola Jovic. With this in mind, Butler's one-game suspension will be the one felt most by fantasy managers. However, with CJ McCollum (ankle) sidelined for Sunday's matchup against Chicago, Alvarado was in line to benefit from a production standpoint. But now, Jordan Hawkins, averaging 17.3 points and 1.1 steals in 10 starts this season, is worth streaming in all fantasy setups.

Los Angeles Lakers forward/center Anthony Davis (Achilles, hip) will play on Sunday against Phoenix. Davis has been dealing with these ailments for a while now, well before the All-Star break. However, he's played through the issues, so fantasy managers anticipated this update. Of course, Davis is a must-start in all fantasy setups, and he should get all the minutes he can handle, especially since the Lakers have just 11 healthy players for Sunday's game.

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) is active heading into Sunday's matinee with the Suns. The multi-time MVP has been dealing with a left ankle injury. He didn't play on Thursday versus the Warriors, the Lakers' first game after the All-Star break. But he returned on Friday versus the Spurs and finished with a game-high 30 points with nine assists and seven boards. Under normal circumstances, James might have received a limited workload. However, Los Angeles only has 11 active players for Sunday's contest, so he should get all the minutes he can handle.
