New Orleans Pelicans forward Zion Williamson (foot) is available ahead of Friday's game against the Miami Heat. Williamson is surprisingly available after playing 35 minutes during Thursday's game. The Pelicans are without Brandon Ingram (illness) so possibly they didn't want to be without both players. Williamson will have an increased scoring responsibility with Ingram sitting out of this game. That being said, Williamson should have more DFS value than normal for this game. Fantasy managers in season-long formats should make sure to check their lineups and get Williamson in there.

Philadelphia 76ers guard De'Anthony Melton (back) is available ahead of Friday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Melton has been sidelined since January 12, but will make his return to the court here. The expectation is that Melton is going to be under a minutes restriction during his first game back. He won't be worth looking at as a possible streaming option until he gets back up to full speed.

Memphis Grizzlies forward Jaren Jackson Jr. (quad) is available ahead of Friday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. Jackson is back in action after sitting out the final game before the All-Star break. His return will shift Trey Jemison back to the bench on Friday. Jemison won't offer strong streaming appeal while behind Jackson in the rotation. Fantasy managers should double check their lineups and make sure Jackson is in there.

Toronto Raptors guard RJ Barrett (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Friday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. The Raptors have decided to take a cautious approach after Mitchell played 29 minutes during their last game. As a result, Jordan Nwora will move into the starting five for the second straight night. A move to the starting unit will boost his fantasy value but there should still be better options available on a 10-game slate. Bruce Brown should have an increased role off the bench with Barrett sidelined.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (illness) has been ruled out ahead of Friday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. This marks the second game in a row that Mitchell has missed due to an illness. Isaac Okoro figures to move into the starting five once again with Mitchell sidelined. He's not a great streaming option, but he could be worth a look in deep leagues. Caris LeVert is the better streaming choice but has been more of a boom-or-bust player lately. Darius Garland should have increased ball handling responsibilities with Mitchell set to miss another game.
