Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards (personal) exited Friday's overtime loss to the Sacramento Kings. He did not return and finished with 11 points in 19 minutes. The 22-year-old was questionable heading into this contest because of an ankle injury, which he picked up on Tuesday night against the San Antonio Spurs. Fortunately, Edwards didn't suffer another injury. Instead, he exited due to the birth of his child. That said, Minnesota plays again on Sunday versus the visiting Los Angeles Clippers. For now, fantasy managers should consider Edwards questionable heading into that one, although there should be further updates on Saturday. If he doesn't suit up, Nickeil Alexander-Walker would presumably fill the void in the lineup.


According to TSN Sports' Josh Lewenberg, Toronto Raptors forward Scottie Barnes (hand) is out indefinitely. The All-Star logged just 16 minutes in Friday's meeting with the Warriors before injuring his left hand. He didn't return. There was some confusion regarding how the injury happened. However, and most importantly, subsequent testing revealed he suffered a fracture to the third metacarpal bone. Barnes has had the best year of his career, averaging 20.0 points, 8.3 rebounds, 6.1 assists, and 1.5 blocks. He's also shot 34.0% from deep, a significant upgrade from his first two seasons. Unfortunately, fantasy managers may not have him in their lineups for the remainder of the 2023-24 campaign. But Kelly Olynyk, who had 16 points, 10 boards, and three steals, should get scooped off of waivers immediately, assuming he's still available.


Denver Nuggets guard Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (personal) is listed as questionable before Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. Nuggets Jamal Murray (ankle) is also doubtful. Christian Braun and Peyton Watson could log more minutes at guard should both players be unavailable. Caldwell-Pope will be missed if unavailable, as he registered 20 points in one matchup against Los Angeles on October 21st. He's averaging 10.1 points, 2.3 rebounds and 2.4 assists in 55 regular season contests.


Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray (ankle) suffered a sprained ankle on Thursday against the Miami Heat. The Nuggets have been cautious with Murray as he dealt with several leg injuries this season. He's sat out 16 games so far. 33-year-old point guard Reggie Jackson will see more minutes if Murray cannot suit up. Denver's starting point guard has averaged 20.5 points and 6.3 assists in 44 contests when healthy.


Los Angeles Lakers power forward Anthony Davis (Achilles) is likely available Saturday against the Denver Nuggets. Davis has been dealing with soreness in his Achilles for most of the season. However, fantasy managers should expect the power forward to play, as he has been listed as probable several times throughout the year. In the last 10 games, the 30-year-old averaged 24.4 points, 13.1 rebounds and 2.4 blocks.
