Sacramento Kings guard De'Aaron Fox (knee) is unavailable Friday against Minnesota. On Monday night, he suffered a knee contusion in a loss to Miami, and he didn't play in Wednesday's contest against Denver. Chris Duarte scored 18 points in 26 minutes, meaning he will see plenty of playing time and attention from fantasy managers with Fox out. The 26-year-old point guard Fox will be missed against the Timberwolves as he has averaged 26.9 points per game in 51 regular season contests.

Portland Trail Blazers center Moses Brown (wrist) will play on Friday night versus Memphis. The 24-year-old broke his wrist during a meeting with the Suns on New Year's Day and hasn't been active since then. Before Brown went down with the ailment, he had played sparingly, so his return isn't expected to make much of an impact for fantasy managers, even with Deandre Ayton (hand) absent.

On Friday, Indiana Pacers forward Aaron Nesmith (ankle) will be in the lineup against the New Orleans Pelicans. The 24-year-old hasn't played tending to a right ankle sprain in the team's last four games. Andrew Nembhard and Bennedict Mathurin have been a part of the starting five. With Nesmith in, Nembhard will likely move to the bench. In 51 games, Nesmith averages 12.6 points and 1.4 assists while playing 27.1 minutes per contest this season.

Portland Trail Blazers guard Deandre Ayton (hand) won't play on Friday versus the Grizzlies. The former Sun injured his hand on Tuesday night against the Miami Heat. X-rays came back clean, although fantasy managers could still be without him for at least a few games. But until Ayton returns, Duop Reath, averaging 12.0 points and 6.5 rebounds in 11 starts this season, is worth streaming, even with Moses Brown (wrist) active.

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (ankle, nose) is good to go on Friday night versus the Celtics. The multi-time All-Star has made routine appearances on the injury report of late because of a broken nose. However, he is now battling an ankle issue, so he was in danger of missing this one. Fortunately for fantasy managers, Doncic will suit up. He had 33 points, 18 rebounds, 13 assists, and two steals against Boston at the end of January, meaning he's an even more attractive option for all fantasy lineups on Friday evening.
