Caleb Martin Questionable For Saturday With Thumb Injury

Miami Heat guard/forward Caleb Martin (thumb) has been listed as questionable on the injury report ahead of Saturday's matchup against the Jazz. He hurt his left thumb against the Nuggets on Thursday, and the injury might end a streak of 22 consecutive appearances for Martin. The 28-year-old has been a member of the second unit in the last two contests, but Martin typically does a solid job in any role. He's averaged 10.1 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 2.1 assists for the season. Jaime Jaquez Jr. is in line to benefit from Martin's potential absence on Saturday, and it might be an ideal matchup to end his recent slump. The Jazz like to push the pace but can't defend, meaning we should see plenty of good fantasy lines for Heat players on Saturday.

Haywood Highsmith Questionable For Saturday

Miami Heat forward Haywood Highsmith (knee) is listed as questionable for Saturday's matchup against Utah. He's in danger of missing a second consecutive contest, although Highsmith wasn't on the injury report for Thursday's meeting with Denver. He was added to the report with a left knee effusion on Friday. Highsmith's absence leaves more minutes available to Nikola Jovic and Caleb Martin (thumb). The latter had the better performance coming off the bench on Thursday and is a much more reliable fantasy option than Jovic, although Martin is also questionable for Saturday's game.

Brandon Miller Downgraded To Questionable

Charlotte Hornets guard/forward Brandon Miller (back) has been downgraded to questionable for Friday's clash with Philadelphia. Miller wasn't on the initial injury report but then received a probable tag and is now questionable to suit up for the contest. The rookie from Alabama has played in 21 consecutive games, starting each one. Following a bumpy start to his rookie campaign, Miller performed well in February with averages of 20.5 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 1.8 steals. Grant Williams (back) might get an opportunity to start in Miller's place after shaking off a probable tag, with Seth Curry and Bryce McGowens also potentially benefitting. However, the latter two don't bring enough to the table to be considered viable fantasy options.

Bilal Coulibaly Misses Third Straight Game

Washington Wizards small forward Bilal Coulibaly (pelvis) isn't ready to return to the lineup on Friday versus the Clippers. The French rookie still needs some more time to recover from a right pelvic contusion, missing a third straight game. Coulibaly made four consecutive starts before getting injured last weekend against Cleveland. With him out, Landry Shamet has received a bigger role, with Corey Kispert also benefitting. The latter enters Friday's action after averaging 17.0 points, 3.6 rebounds, and 2.7 assists in February. Coulibaly's next chance to return comes on Monday night against the Jazz.

Grant Williams Available Friday

Charlotte Hornets forward Grant Williams (back) has been upgraded from probable to available for Friday's tilt against the Philadelphia 76ers. After logging 30 minutes in Thursday's loss to the Milwaukee Bucks, Williams is good to go on the second half of Charlotte's back-to-back despite dealing with a lower back contusion. Having grown up in North Carolina, the 25-year-old stretch four has carved out a sizable bench role with the 15-44 Hornets and is providing 13.9 points, 4.9 rebounds, and 2.1 three-pointers on 37.8% shooting from deep in 28.1 minutes per game in eight contests since landing at the Feb. 8 trade deadline. Williams is worth streaming in fantasy for points and threes as Charlotte's sixth man on Friday, but with this matchup versus the Sixers showing a low 214.5-point implied total, it's probably not the suitable game environment to be digging into the bargain bin for DFS purposes.
