Charlotte Hornets forward Brandon Miller (back) will play on Sunday versus the Toronto Raptors. The rookie had a team-high 21 points in Thursday's loss to Milwaukee. However, he suffered a back injury during the contest and didn't suit up on Friday night against Philadelphia. But Miller's absence was short-lived, so he'll return to the floor on Sunday. Without question, the 21-year-old has emerged as one of Charlotte's top performers, even more so with LaMelo Ball (ankle) out of commission. As a result, Miller should remain starting in all fantasy lineups.


Toronto Raptors forward Bruce Brown (knee) is questionable for Sunday's matchup with the Hornets. He's averaged just 8.6 points in 19 games since being traded to Toronto, down from 12.1 points while with the Pacers. However, with Scottie Barnes (hand) out indefinitely, Brown has a chance to get more involved moving ahead. While there's a chance the 27-year-old could still suit up, rookie Gradey Dick, who averaged a career-high 11.0 points in February, could draw even more interest from fantasy managers. There's also room for Ochai Agbaji to see more work, although he can't be trusted.


Boston Celtics center Kristaps Porzingis (quadriceps) won't play on Sunday afternoon against the Warriors. He has missed 15 games this season already, so fantasy managers are hardly surprised by the latest update. There should be plenty of opportunities for others without the 2015 No. 4 overall pick in the lineup. Of course, Jayson Tatum, Jrue Holiday, and Jaylen Brown should get a few more scoring chances. But Al Horford, averaging 9.5 points, 7.1 rebounds, and 1.1 blocks in 22 starts during the 2023-24 campaign, is worth streaming in any fantasy format.


Houston Rockets forward Tari Eason (leg) is set to undergo season-ending surgery on Monday, according to head coach Ime Udoka. He continued by saying a benign growth was found on Eason's left shinbone. It's believed to be a pain-tolerance issue, but the team has ultimately decided to have the second-year forward undergo surgery. Given recent history, Eason faces around a four-month recovery timetable. He's expected to be ready in time for next season. In the meantime, Amen Thompson and Cam Whitmore should continue seeing additional playing time.


Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker (ankle) was forced to exit late in the fourth quarter during Friday's game against the Houston Rockets. Booker caught his foot on Royce O'Neale and rolled his ankle with roughly a minute left in the game. He limped back to the locker room to undergo further testing. Luckily, the X-rays came back negative, which means Booker shouldn't miss an extended period. The Suns play the Oklahoma City Thunder on Sunday. It's unlikely that Booker is going to be available for that one. O'Neale will likely benefit the most if Booker is forced to miss time.
